Here comes Osama!
From CNN:

Officials: Bin Laden guiding plots against U.S.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A plot to carry out a large-scale terror attack against the United States in the near future is being directed by Osama bin Laden and other top al Qaeda members, senior intelligence officials said Thursday.

Bin Laden and his top lieutenant, Ayman al-Zawahiri, are overseeing the attack plans from their remote hideouts somewhere along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, according to senior intelligence officials

------

I find it interesting that:

Two days ago, The New Republic reports that Bush is pressuring Pakistan to produce Osama and al-Zawahiri before November, hopefully during the Democratic Convention.

Yesterday, they issue a non-specific threat but don't raise the alert level (a strong sign it's political)

And now they use the name Osama to heighten the fear factor.

Seems like a logical progression. The sequence would be... they issue threats of a major attack; say Osama is behind those threats; pull Osama out of the deep freeze during the DNC; thus diverting attention from Kerry (and Iraq) while pretending to have saved the country.

Am I alone in thinking something like this is possible?

4. I'm wondering....
When was the last time we heard an Osama 'tape?'

Even if they don't have him, they can certainly use him as the boogeyman to scare the sheeple.

Hopefully F911 has tempered that a bit, but still...

2. I dislike them very strongly
All the Osamas in the world won't 1. Get to the heart of the reason that "terra" strikes, anyway, and 2. Won't save the Constitution from the American Taliban.

Of course, the "plebeian shite" will probably cream their drawers for Bush, strung along like little ponies, by the media ghouls.

Am I wrong for saying this?

5. binLaden and AlQaida are deep in some mountain hole...
yet, they know exactly where the democrat and repig conventions are being held. That lier ridge and bush criminals wants us to believe such bullshit. I mean, even many New Yorkers don't know where the Madison Square Garden is. Maybe, ridge allowed AlQaida terrorists to enter this country, gave them a map or hired a limousine to take them to the front entrance. They'll do anything, like criminals that they are, to throw the elections.

I can't wait until we get rid of those fokers, preachers of fear. I hope I never have to hear the name of that foker tom ridge ever again. What a damn loser.
