How does the OBL tape help Bush????

[paparush]

Doesn't it just reinforce the fact that Bush is an Utter and Complete Failure as he has not "caught" this guy that he told Joe Six Pack years ago that he was gonna catch? Isn't JSP gonna wake up and say, "Well shit, George kaint Git R Done".

1. Only if you phrase it in that way

serious... most people are focusing on whether this is legit or not

But the obviious quesiton is... why is UBL still able to send love letters to the US Press

And this is how you deflate the propaganda

[parasim]

2. JSP's gotta baaaad mem'ry...

Joe's holding onto that hope that his president is superman and will save the world in the end.

"You just don't question the President of the United States!" I hear that way too often... sadly..



edit: fixed dumb sp error...

10. that's whta I was thinking

3. It doesn't help Bush

From what I've heard so far about the tape, it is little more than OBL telling the world he's still alive. No specific threats. It's his version of 'happy anniversary, infidels!!'

6. Actually, I think it does to a degree...

Whether or not it is obvious that the OBL tape means nothing, the mainstream media uses this shit to convince the public that the "left is bad" or the "right is bad" and "pick a side!". Keeps that ol' division going in this country. The only way they can rule the masses. Turning everybody against each another.

Pick a side. (And forget what you really care about.) The mainstream media pounds this into their heads... Just put the guy's face on the television of every frickin' sports bar out there and you'll hear a lot of "oh, there's that bin Laden guy... I hate that guy! That's that evil terrorist guy..."

A lot of people just don't pay attention.

7. you do have a point

...about the division that is caused. The media tries to act as mommy and daddy, while treating the citizens like small children. Which is why I am neither a democrat or republican. I love Ron Paul though. A man who thinks we should follow our laws- imagine that!! He's the only hope our country has, IMO. I donated $100 to his campaign recently.

8. Check Kucinich, they are birds of a feather

when it comes to following the rules

They are 180 degrees from each other regarding the commons, but they both agree fundamentally on some issues

[Flabbergasted]

11. Most Americans will agree in their detest for OBL. It helps Bush by

creating fear in the public mind.

4. To subliminally reinforce the "liberals are your enemy" meme by associating his face with our words.

And they know that this video will be played to death, so it maximizes the impact. These bastards would make Goebbels proud.

I'll let you draw your own conclusions as to who "these bastards" are.

12. That's Subuliminabilliy in BushSpeak

But, nail meet hammer

13. LOL! Too hard for me to spell that one ...

5. Amazingly enough the Pentagon released information late Friday too

Information on Osama's time in Tora Bora, when he "got away".

What an amazing coincidence it is to have both the video out there and the Doctor's story of Osama's time at Tora Bora.

[Disturbed]

9. Busholini did not question if this was the "real" Osama.

He said that his appearance reminds everyone that the "War On Extremists" is real and the evil doers are still out to kill all Americans. I venture to guess that at LEAST 30% of Americans believe him. Most people are not going to analyze Osama's statements. Notice that this man is recognized by one name, which not too many people on this planet are. Mos tof the other people that are recognized by one name are famous, Osama is infamous. Also, they figure that Osama has not been caught &/or killed because he is in Pakistan where the US cannot get him. Yeah, it still works for millions.
