Right on Schedule! new OBL tape announced on MSNBC

[nostamj]

apparently AJ is about to show new footage of OBL!

[ciaobox]

1. This helps us more than Bush....

nO?

[MidwestTransplant]

4. I don't think so.

Scare the Muricans.

[City Lights]

20. He's cried wolf one too many times already.

His entire campaign is based on the "You're safer with me" theme. Dragging out OBL will remind the skeered 'Muricans that after 3+ years of chimpy smokin' him out of his hole, OBL has yet to be captured. If the media doesn't point this out, the Kerry camp most certainly will. Kerry will use it as another reason to change horses.

[MidwestTransplant]

32. That's how we think

I don't know if that's how the average American thinks.

[Sean Reynolds]

7. Yes....now people will ask...WHERE THE FUCK IS BIN LADEN?

And why haven't we found the man that murdered over 3,000 Americans?

[The Magistrate]

35. Indeed, Mr. Reynolds

It will be a useful reminder to the people of the greatest failure of this administration; a reminder that tough cowboy talk is nowhere near enough to actually do the hard work of tracking and killing the enemy leader; a reminder of the wretched posuer's comments that he was not really worried about Bin Laden; a reminder that someone this criminal crew says they are after really can run and hide....

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"

[DemsUnited]

I think it helps us

just reminds people that Osama bin Laden is still out there, alive and uncaptured, three years after 9/11.

[The Chronicler]

2. You mean the guy Bush never got?

[Melodybe]

3. This is so not good for Bush

it just reminds people that OBL got away and we are at war for no good reason.

Four more days for them to pop out bin Laden, I don't think it will happen.

[aden_nak]

5. You didn't think he'd stay quiet if he was still alive, did you?

Though I wonder which way this is going to be spun. Obviously, if he mentions the election, whichever candidate he hates will say he is telling the truth, and whichever candidate he says he prefers will say it's reverse psychology.

[Sean Reynolds]

11. I'm sure bin Laden is gunnin' for Bush.....

Since, you know, Bush has pretty much given up on him!

[aden_nak]

14. Yes, al Qaeda has prospered under Bush.

But bin Laden is highly intelligent. He might know better than to say so in a public address.

[fob]

6. You know if bush* was president UBL would still be in power!

Oh wait, nevermind.

[LisaLynne]

8. This doesn't help *, so why is ...

MSNBC showing it? I guess they think they can scare some people to the polls, but in all actuality, I would think bringing up OBL is bad for *.

[Stephanie]

Is it the Fat Osama?

Which Osama is it?

[Amaya]

23. You mean this one?

errrr... is it this one?

[CTD]

9. Since OBL and W *need* each other

OBL probably just sees this as coming through for a friend in need.

[w13rd0]

21. Like the scene in "Mosh"...

...when Ossama's backdrop falls away, and Cheney and Rumsfeld are back there chatting. Maybe it's that footage...

[LostInAnomie]

10. If Bush wasn't so weak and outsourced his capture ...

... he wouldn't be making tapes and scaring the bejeezus out of all those security moms.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

12. He'll have a Kerry Edwards sticker wrapped around his turbin

<sarcasm>

[sonicx]

13. the guy bush let get away.

[shelley806]

15. Ha Ha I just heard that......

and started laughing, it's so predictable.

[Tatiana]

16. Can these people be more PREDICTABLE????

I mean, really. If the stench of their desperation was any stronger, we'd all be on the floor unconscious.

[tomfodw]

17. They're not going to announce an ACTUAL attack

They didn't announce 9-11, they just attacked.

Here's how it goes:

If they announce it, it ain't gonna happen.
Unfortunately, that means, we won't know it until it does happen.

[prodigal_green]

18. Says he'll tell us why

It said the tape, to be aired at 2000 GMT (4 p.m. ET), would discuss the reasons behind the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States and their repercussions. It gave no further details.

I wonder if he'll say it is because he "hates our freedom?"

[nostamj]

26. maybe he'll show us his contract with BushCo? n/t

[ramapo]

19. Maybe an endorsement of Bush?

Wouldn't that be a hoot

[DireStrike]

22. It depends what he says...

Anyone know what he says? Or is it just typical "stop your heretical usury" sort of thing?

[robbedvoter]

24. Been focus-grouped already? He could run AND he could hide!

[BattyDem]

25. So ... who had "Friday afternoon" in the pool?

:eyes:

[Generator]

27. It's beginning to look like Osama is on the Bush payroll

Don't you hate it when the terrorists get partisan too? Man, and I thought they stood for something.

[DireStrike]

29. Beginning?

Conspiracy theorist reporting for duty!

[DireStrike]

31. Beginning?

Conspiracy theorist reporting for duty!

[Weembo]

28. To say thank you

OBL is from a high-up family, so it is polite to thank someone who gives you a gift, or 386 tons of gifts

[Lex]

30. Bin Laden. Hmmm . . . .old family friend of the Bushes', right?

I knew I had heard that name before.

[David__77]

33. No need to worry about this.

No one will buy it, and outside of Fox, no one will air it or spend time on it. We already have one debunked "terror tape."

[CTD]

34. Anyone else notice that Drudge has barely mentioned it

No siren, no HUGE RED type.

Of course, unlike the last one, this one isn't coming from Rove and Co, so he had no way of knowing about it in advance.

[Shopaholic]

38. How much you wanna bet that ShrubCo use this as an excuse

to ramp up the "terror alert" again???? I told my boss this morning I thought that this was what they'd do because every time they raise the terrorist alert level, *'s polls go up and right now, he's desperate. Can you possibly imagine what it's like right now to be inside the * campaign?

[Village Idiot]

36. Geez......

just when I thought that we weren't concerned about....wait....I mean we ARE concerned about....I mean...aw shit, not again!!! Karl! Karl! KKKAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRL!!!!!!!!!


GO KERRY, GO!!!

[Oreo]

37. My take - Not Good

OBL wants Bush to win. I'm sure he never imagined the number of recruits he would get before 9/11. Why would he do anything to make Bush look bad?

I see him saying something like:
America needs to vote the current criminal president out of office
Thousands and thousands of muslims have died at the hands of Bush.

You know... general stuff to play to freeptards. This guy is smart... all he has to do is think like an idiot and he'll play the righties just like the administration has. They'll say "Why would anybody do what OBL wants... we need Kerry to lose to show OBL"

[bush equals idiot]

40. Please put Saddam back in charge of Iraq.

I can't take any more. We need somebody who knows how to calm this terror stuff down.

[kostya]

39. We'll have to wait for the content, but if the preview is

correct that basically he is going to taunt us about 9/11 then I think that clearly plays into Kerry's meme that Bush hasn't finished the job.

Naturally, your spin may vary.

- K

Kerry On!

[Contrary1]

41. All we need to do

is repeat Shrub's very own words...

"So I don't know where he is. You know, I just don't spend that much time on him, Kelly, to be honest with you. I'm more worried about making sure that our soldiers are well-supplied; that the strategy is clear; that the coalition is strong; that when we find enemy bunched up like we did in Shahikot Mountains, that the military has all the support it needs to go in and do the job, which they did."
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1244536/posts

"We haven't heard much from him. And I wouldn't necessarily say he's at the center of any command structure. And, again, I don't know where he is," Bush said during the 2002 news conference. "I'll repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about him. I know he is on the run."
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/latimests/20041014/ts_latimes/bushnotconcernedaboutbinladenin02

"A fellow came the other day to the office and said, 'Well, are you worried about Mr. bin Laden?' I said, 'No, I'm not too worried about him. He's the guy that needs to be worried.' But I want to assure you, the objective is not bin Laden. Oh, we'll get bin Laden. There's only so many caves he can hide in, if he's still hiding in caves. My attitude was, once we get him running, it's just a matter of time before we bring him to justice."

"As I say, we haven't heard much from him. And I wouldn't necessarily say he's at the center of any command structure. And, again, I don't know where he is. I -- I'll repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about him. I know he is on the run. I was concerned about him, when he had taken over a country. I was concerned about the fact that he was basically running Afghanistan and calling the shots for the Taliban. But once we set out the policy and started executing the plan, he became -- we shoved him out more and more on the margins. He has no place to train his al Qaeda killers anymore."

42. I WAS WONDERING WHEN ROVE WOULD PUT THIS....

VIDEO OUT?

[peekaloo]

43. Hype is on the way.

[melody]

44. No one will care

I doubt most Americans will even notice...it's Friday evening. Besides, Osama has said all this stuff before. And its been three years. George's buddy has to come up with some better lines.

[requiem99]

45. Here is a clue to the content, culled from Faux.

"Bin Laden is speaking from a lectern and he talks about threats to the United States and he says that President Bush will not protect the American people"

GEE BIG SURPRISE HUR HUR.
