Oh, how SPECIAL. New al Qaeda tape threatens attacks on Los Angeles

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

And it arrives on the fourth anniversary of 9/11.

PROTECT US, WON'T YOU MR. PRESIDENT?

You said that if we voted for you instead of that Kerry guy you'd PROTECT US, so please...PROTECT US? Finish your cake and then protect us.

:grouphug:

:sarcasm:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A videotape televised on Sunday purportedly from a U.S.-member of al Qaeda threatened Los Angeles and Melbourne, Australia, on the fourth anniversary of the September 11 attacks.

ABC News said it had received the video in Pakistan. It reported the masked speaker appears to be Adam Gadahn, from southern California, who threatens attacks on the two cities, "Allah willing," and warns that the attackers will show no compassion.

"Yesterday, London and Madrid. Tomorrow, Los Angeles and Melbourne," he said.

"We love peace, but peace on our terms," the speaker said.

1. How many here predicted this?

Call out the boogieman! Bush's numbers are in the toilet!





We need to see him strut around in a pilot's suit right now! That will make it better.

:sarcasm:

[bklyncowgirl]

13. Me Me Me!

[JuniperLea]

20. Yep!

I remember the conversation. I guess Dems are better at math than Repugs. Two plus two must be way too hard for peabrains to get.

[TankLV]

31. ME!

[shance]

32. The Cheney Administration continues to aim its terrorism gun at

various US cities, now the City of Angels.

They use the term "Al Quaeda" as a convenient guise it seems.

They manufacture terrorism and then profit from it. Look at Halliburton's all too convenient record breaking profits.

[nadinbrzezinski]

36. way, way too many of us

[OneTwentyoNine]

39. Let me see...Ummm,DAMN near everyone by my count.....n/t

[calimary]

42. ME! And hey, I'm here in Sitting Duck Land.

Thanks, george. Thanks for making me feel safer.


NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


With this jerk in command, we are FUCKED.


Even more important to

Visualize IMPEACHMENT!!!!!!!!!
And then MAKE IT HAPPEN.

[bee]

45. But heres what I dont get about that....

HOW will another attack help *'s numbers? Wont it only serve as proof positive that the admin has completely FAILED to to protect us? I mean... as if we dont already know that. I just dont see how this does anything but make him look like an ineffective boob.

[MADem]

2. That's a bad move, attacking Teheran West

With the huge Persian population in the area, they might be biting off more than they can chew....

[enigma000]

6. Persians tend to be from the Shiite branch of Islam

so in al-Qaeda's view, they are apostates. Hence, legitimate targets.

[MADem]

33. Iran is overwhelmingly shi'a--90 percent or so

...but that did not stop monkeyboy from claiming that the Irani were harboring Osama and every other shadowy sonofabitch who seemed to only be identified by a grainy passport photo that looked like it was taken by an Eastern European, pre-WWII photographer. Hey, they got their axis of evil stamp of approval from the guitar-playing cake muncher!

[calimary]

43. Not only that, but the fact that they'd abandon their sacred homeland

and move to LaLaLand - that "loose culture" out here that the hardliners don't like, dontcha know? - would place them with the infidels. I'd imagine that among the extremists, Persians and others who moved from there to here would be regarded as part of the problem, and thus, expendable like the rest of us heathens.

I hope not, but I'd bet that's the mentality. They're traitors if they move here because they then embrace our culture and, essentially, become us.

BTW - Welcome to DU!!!
Help us GET RID OF THESE PEOPLE!!!!

[Bridget Burke]

48. You mean Teherangeles?

An Iranian co-worker used that word. But we've got quite a few in Houston, too!

[enigma000]

49. They die next

Take a number. Wait your turn. ;)

[tinrobot]

3. Sadly, Bush is scarier than Bin Laden

A real president would have caught Bin Laden by now.

[neuvocat]

4. And so they waited until today to tell everyone.

Yeah we're sure that tape in genuine.

[guruoo]

28. It was genuine....

Pat Robertson.

[npincus]

5. he's pulling the TERRA card

but it WON'T work this time.

[Merlot]

9. The numbers go down and the terra threats go up...

Since they didn't send out any tapes threating 9/11 or Madrid (as far as I've heard), I doubt that they are sending tapes to warn of their next attack.

[Imagevision]

40. yaaaaaawwnnnn...........!

[Roland99]

7. How convenient the speaker is an American and speaks in English

What a fvcking joke.

[npincus]

12. THAT'S where Cheney WAS after Katrina! Making scarey video tapes

in an undisclosed location.

[JuniperLea]

19. Could very well be true

Could this administration suck any harder?

[elehhhhna]

8. All is well! Drownie is back in Washington, watching over us.

[DearAbby]

17. How convenient. Timing is everything. Sheeple are waking up, time for

TERRA ALERT!

Polls are in the toilet

TERRA ALERT!

But are we safer, during times of crisis with George of the Bungle in charge? <<< Love that title.) Appears that they are only interested in protecting a certain class of Americans...the rest "You're on your own"

Actually Al Qiada doesn't need to do anything...America is being destroyed without their efforts.

[terrya]

10. I think the American people are getting tired of this crap.

Raising the threat alerts every fucking time Bush's poll numbers drop. It's a consistent pattern with this administration. I bet they've had this tape for weeks. And yes...my, how CONVENIENT it was released on the 09/11 anniversary and at a time when Bush's poll numbers are the lowest they've ever been.

It's utterly transparent bullshit and it's not going to work this time.

[blondeatlast]

11. "We love peace, but peace on our terms." Does he know he violated W's

copyrighted phrase?

How conveeeeeenieeent...

[ovidsen]

14. Some terra spokesman

Great. Osama (if he isn't dead) or some AQ shill gets a slacker from OC who thinks he's a mujahadeen monkey to mouth threats against LA and Melbourne. Did you see this guy? What a macaroon. So of course ABC plays the tape. Gotta goose those ratings! We all know how those threats against the WTC, Pentagon, London underground and Madrid commuter trains played out. Wait. What? You mean there were no threats? Ummmm....

Late breaking bulletin. Chimp has confirmed that OJ Simpson has agreed to halt his search for Nicole's real killer so he can join the manhunt for Osama. He's as good as dead now!

[Gyre]

15. TERRA, TERRA, TERRA!

Lord, how I hate this boring, disingenuous boob and his pals.

[Zynx]

16. Yawn...

[bigbrother05]

18. If it's true

We are in deep trouble, but pulling out the threat card on today of all days is just typical. One card Monty.

[FloridaPat]

21. But N. Korea has it's eye on LA with the bomb. Is Al Qaeda fighting

N. Korea now?

[madmom]

22. WHAT.. no elevated alert?????..n/t

[nookiemonster]

30. Well, of course, they'll look into it. But nothing "credible" yet.

:sarcasm:

One trick pony MFers

[Kber]

23. Well, I for one am concerned

Especially since Bush and Co have proven that they can't protect us or respond effectively to a major attack and its aftermath.

An in CA they are supposed to rely on what - the Terminator?

Another Blue City in the crosshairs.

[Imagevision]

41. one thing for certain -- dem terraists learned from the levee's failing

good show Bush...good show...!


http://downingstreetmemo.com/

[Sperk]

24. as far as terrorists go, these guys are very thoughtful

First they warn the Anthrax victims (remember them) to take penicillin so they wont die, now they delay an attack until we can get a handle on NOLA and they warn us what cities they're gonna attack. So thoughtful those terrorists.

[NRaleighLiberal]

25. WH to do list - Sept 11 - Terralert time....check.

[Davis_X_Machina]

26. You can't win the White House...

...without California, if you're going to lose LA, OH, and FL.

It must be moved into the R column by any means necessary.

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

27. Crank up that security alert level now! What color are we at

today, tomorrow?

When does Dick Cheney come out to announce the inevitability of an attack worse than 911, maybe even worse than Katrina?

Karl, your move.

[calimary]

44. Yeah, and do you think they'd be able to do anything effective about it

since they've proved their mettle with Katrina?

Yeah... sure.

IMPEACHMENT!!!!!!!

NOW!!!!!!!!!!

[IChing]

29. Is there any questions on who these guys really work for?

Either through manipulation through either overt or covert means?


Any bets that in 2006 right before we go to vote for a new House of Representatives that they will release a tape like they did in 2004 right before the election?

Does it surprise anyone that in Michael Moore's F-911 that Bush senior was having a meeting with a member of the Usama Bin Laden family when the twin towers were hit?

Just a pure coincidence right?

[nadinbrzezinski]

37. Of course but you are a good Murican you know

:sarcasm:

While moore, he is a bad one fer spreading baseless rumors, such as bush sat for seven minutes readying a book... I mean bush does not read, so why should he spend seven minutes wiht a book....

[Vinca]

34. Why should they bother to attack us? We're doing a pretty good job

of offing our citizens without their help. Maybe they needed to put something out because Shrub's way ahead of them in the body count department.

[NightOwwl]

35. Anyone who believes this video is the real thing...

certainly isn't going to be comforted by the fact that BushCo is in charge. It's pretty obvious by now they are incabable of protecting the this country and its citizens.

So whether the threat is real or not, Bush is not going to get a bounce...on the contrary...his numbers will drop even further.

[OneTwentyoNine]

38. WTF....Its THAT guy AGAIN?!?!?

What...is that fuck on the Rove payroll?? Anytime Chimp is in deep,deep shit they trot out that same asshole who is a supposed "AMERICAN" taliban member.

This is fucking precious.....

[AntiCoup2K4]

46. They couldn't find a new fake Osama??

This is the most laughable tape from PNAC studios yet :rofl:

[AntiCoup2K4]

47. So let's suppose you're the son of an aging Jewish hippie growing up in...

....Orange county right wing Hell.... What best way to rebel against that upbringing? Become a fanatical Muslim, of course :think:

Except Al Qaeda doesn't recruit Jewish kids.

But Mossad just might.......
