White House shrugs off tape as al-Qaida bid to "stay in the game"

WHITE HOUSE The Bush administration is shrugging off the latest tape apparently from a top al-Qaida leader as more media manipulation.

White House spokesman Tony Snow says it's just a bid by the weakened terror network "to stay in the game."

Snow says the administration has no reason to doubt the authenticity of the tape, in which Ayman al-Zawahiri (AY'-muhn ahl-ZWAH'-ree) vows retribution for Israel's attacks in Lebanon. The tape also says the whole world is al-Qaida's battlefield.

...

He says it also features fresh al-Qaida "hypocrisy" -- from a group that claims to champion Islam, but ends up killing countless Muslims.

1. And the last time he ignored an al-Qaeda warning worked out well, right?

:sarcasm:

9. Yup!...The neocons were able to steal trillions from the poor!

[keopeli]

2. more likely propaganda to keep Osama in the game. n/t

[rfranklin]

3. I'm so confused...Osama, dead or alive!...Osama, who cares!....

Which is it?

[Demit]

4. shorter WH: We don't need Al Qaeda anymore. We got new fish to fry.

Al Quaeda is so Iraq war, so last month. We got another country in our sights. We got us a new terrorist group to scare folks with in November.

5. It's a bad marketing strategy to dis your own product. nt

[gratuitous]

6. And what is the Bush administration doing to "stay in the game"?

Because they sure seem to have lost interest in all the shit they've stirred up.

7. Would that be a "historical" vow of retribution, Condi?

Nothing to worry about, then. Everybody carry on. Go do some shopping.

8. it is not al qaeda that needs to worry about 'staying in the game'

its bush that is hanging on by a thread.

10. Hypocrisy??? How many Iraqi Christians has Bush killed??

[Virginia Dare]

11. Game?....

yes, that's it, this is all just a big game! Ha, ha what fun we're having. Death and destruction everywhere. We're number 1! Whoo-hoo!!!


:nuke: :grr:

[leesa]

12. Huh. I view it as another GOP-produced bid to "stay in the game"

Booga, booga, everybody. Don't forget to be afraid of our favorite terrorists!

13. Since when do murderer/masterminds get to remain free...

as long as they're "just" making videos? Oh yeah, Bush regrets saying he wanted bin Laden dead or alive.:shrug:

[MagickMuffin]

14. It's been almost five years since they attacked US,

and we've been warned that they make plans on five year projections. Looks like it's about that time.

Be on the look out for more strange occurrences to start filtering out.

And of course it's almost August so there will be the month long vacations, Congress will be gone from DC, and the Bush Regime/Cartel with be long gone.

GET YOUR WAR ON.....INVEST IN LOCKHEED MARTIN, BOEING, BECHTEL, HALLIBURTON/KBR..........:sarcasm:

[Supersedeas]

15. Not to worry -- the Presnit will be vacationing soon

[IndianaGreen]

16. Al-Qaeda who? Osama bin Forgotten?

Bush and Condi Rice, together with Israel's turning Beirut into a 2006 version of Warsaw 1939, have turned Hezbollah into the Vietcong of the 21st century.

What a bunch of fuckups!

[marmar]

17. Yet another chart-topping release from those hitmakers al-Qaeda...

How many of these tapes are sitting around the White House video library?

[Marie26]

18. Since when is Al-Queda

allied w/Hizbollah, anyway?
