there is a reason why white house tried to block OBL tape

[montana500]

the one two punch of being REMINDED of OBL and missing high grade explosives is a one two punch that will finish the Bush campaign.

1. HOW much $$$$$$ has Bu$h spent and not caught this guy?

We've lost thousands of people during his wars over the last 3 years, and we've spent billions and billions of dollars. We've given Bush a TON of resources, and he can't even get this guy on dialysis.

Bush is TOAST. His boogeyman indicts his failed policies JUST BY BEING ALIVE.

2. there's more they're not showing

I think there is more, which "power" finds inflammatory.

somebody knows.

al jazeera's first story said they would be putting up the video with english subtitles soon. then they wrote a short story and dropped that.

what did they not think we could handle? bring it on, I'm a grown-up, intelligent american. I can handle it.

3. Here is the proof that is true, print it and photocopy it,

hand them out or put them on car windshields.

In light of the OBL tape AND the OBL lie from the third debate the flyer below is particularly apropo for the final push. What more proof do we need that the Army War College was correct when they said the Irag War is "a strategic error of the first order".

4. They probably wished to delay it until they had talking points ready

to give to the librul media about how "it'll hurt Kerry" and such nonsense.

5. "They seem to have aired only excerpts," said the official

AFP

<snip>The official suggested that there may have been more to the tape than the 18-minutes aired by Al-Jazeera during which bin Laden threatened the United States with attacks similar to September 11, 2001 and accused US President George W. Bush (news - web sites) of "misleading" the American people.

"They seem to have aired only excerpts," said the official, a fluent Arabic speaker who watched the complete broadcast on Al-Jazeera. "That may be their way of trying to be accommodating."

Al-Jazeera has frequently been accused by Washington of inciting violence by screening "exclusive" videotapes from Muslim extremists, including bin Laden and insurgents in Iraq (news - web sites).

6. Um, ya

[montana500]

8. NEWS ALERT VERY IMPORTANT!!

As a politcal junkie I feel I have to respond to this real important new item: WHAT DA FUCK YOU TALIN ABOUT!! I don't even know. Called down to my hubby. He don't even know and he was supposedly listening to the news. For Christ sake like so much here, NOBODY is watching or listening. So what's this about?? Like anyone knows or cares. They are at their kids sports events tonight or eating out. And anything out of Osama is "yawn....yawn" . Get a grip and understand that NOBODY is listening nor cares about anything either camp is saying right now unless Osama kills a few of us before the election...and at this late date, the people won't just accept the OBL excuse
