Al Qaeda as a world wide, well organized fighting machine with Osama bin-Laden directing it, is indeed a fiction. But I’m not giving Tel Aviv sole credit. There are too many players right here who keep this fantasy cobbled together.

You are a deluded tool of the zionazis. Keep spewing the official line and you’ll get your reward via direct-deposit from the Jew bankers, Louise. You sound like a pawn of the Likud party headquarters in the White House.

Al Qaeda as a world wide, well organized fighting machine with Osama bin-Laden directing it, is indeed a fiction. But I’m not giving Tel Aviv sole credit. There are too many players right here who keep this fantasy cobbled together.

There are real groups who use terror as a weapon.
There was a real Osama.
The Taliban is very real.

Osama is dead.
The Taliban is alive and well.
And terrorism ... whether coming from a group of angry Iraqis who hate us because of what we’ve done to their country, various disparate groups across the Middle East who just hate us, Israel’s Mossad who sees it as their God-given obligation to drive the Arab from “their” land [they also hate us] CIA, and black opp folks working in secret for the presidential Mafia and their associates ... they are very real. And they are terrifying and they are working together only in the sense they all have the same goal. To destroy each other and rule the world.

Al Qaeda the name, evolved as a short way of identifying a computer base that was set up for banking/business interests in the Arab world. Sorry I cant remember the original handle. I first read this information on the Wayne Madsen Report.

Eventually the base became a source of communication for various players with Osama, who you will remember was one of those wealthy and powerful Arab banking/business interests.

I suspect those who helped organize the criminal enterprise called “Bringing Democracy to the World (by force if necessary)” found it impossible to pronounce the name of the data base. Especially George, so Al Qaeda being easy to remember and easily pronounced became the title of choice. Actually the word alqueda roughly translates into the toilet.

“This “intelligence” report is at best speculation. The intelligence community does not really know what is going on.”
~
I disagree. The intelligence community knows exactly what’s going on. They are in fact the scripter’s and the deliverers of the terror reports. All one has to do is click on the morning news and hear this latest bit of bull-shit enlarged on.

Like a really bad zit ... it just grows and grows.

The Intelligence community may not be the guiding force or original authors behind all things dishonest coming out of the presidential Mafia. But they, or at least those in charge, are willing and obedient servants to the cause. One simply can not roll this absurdity off the tongue with a straight face, unless one has become part of the propaganda machine.

There is a hidden agenda. [Right in plain sight] And you can be sure those in charge of all the various “Intelligence” groups know exactly what it is. Including Civilian Leaders in the Pentagon who wage the war of misinformation.

Like Dick and George, they work for corporate interests ... or soon will.

There are those who know, but are as fed up with the B.S. as you and I. Every time the liars in charge direct another bunch of crap at us, they actually diminish the military yet again.
You know ... the guys who are actually doing the dieing!

“Insurgent leader is not real, U.S. military says”

“Wednesday, Omar al-Baghdadi, the supposed leader of an al-Qaida-affiliated group in Iraq, was declared nonexistent by U.S. military officials, who say he is a fictional character created to give an Iraqi face to a foreign-run terror group.”
~
And finally, those who are unwilling to put the brakes on this obscenity must be considered a part of it. That would include some in the media. Some in the Congress. Some in the corporate world and a lot of their friends and relatives. This behavior is bringing us dangerously close to nuclear war, there can be NO EXCUSE for anyone who supports it, either by association or silence!

You are all such witless turds.
There is no “Al Qaeda” and there never was.
It’s just a fiction created in Tel Aviv as a diversion from the crimes of the Zionist Jew regime.

Kalifornia1, I think you’re generous with this:

..."This “intelligence” report is at best speculation."…

***"Speculation" is the generous part, because I think it’s just all out of a re-cycled script.

.... “The intelligence community does not really know what is going on. How can they?”......

******I agree, they don’t. (know what’s going on). They don’t have a clue. That’s not to say that once upon a time, we did in fact have some good/career professionals in the intel business. But, just like all of the others, they’ve mostly been squashed, purged, or whatever else it is that they’ve been doing to large pockets of the social infrastructure, and pretty much nobody knows what the hell they’re doing. So, that’s one reason…

The larger reason is that Cheney is working his own agenda, and it’s not like he’s exactly in the habit of sharing information. How many documents has this administration re-classified since they hijacked the White House? I think I read something close to 20,000 documents. And, he covers his current tracks just as well.

So in reality, if ANYBODY really has even the slightest indication of what is going on, it’s only cheney and his intimates, and they certainly aren’t talking. (Well, except for the typical shills like Frances Townsend, same one who accused those Gitmo detainees of using asymetrical warfare against us, when they were finally able to hang themselves in their cells.)

Now she’s making the same claim that AQ in Iraq is the same AQ that whacked us on 9-11, and nobody knows any of that. We don’t even know what really happened on 9-11.

So, AQ is just as shadowy and perennial as they’ve always been. Still a boogey-man that’s good to drag out, when the need arises, just to make sure that we all remain frightened, paranoid, and jumping at our own shadows, because of this wizard-of-oz sort of MASSIVE THREAT, that somehow manages to stay hidden and elusive, right smack in the middle of all this technology, and all of this warfare. One of these lackeys even made a recent claim that OBL is still alive, but there’s been no evidence of that in a few years now.

If AQ actually IS a threat, it would only be as a result of the increased stature and “legitimacy” that the Mob has provided for them, by declaring this vaguely organized “entity” to be -global public enemy number one- thereby handing them their hearts greatest desires…to accomplish martyrdom against the infidels.

And, while Marshall claims that this has nothing to do with Israel, it has EVERYTHING to do with U.S. Policy in the Middle East, and anyplace else the Cabal chooses to spread its imperialist fists. And, all the while, it remains as secretive an operation as one could ever be. The result is…chaos and confusion reign, and that’s a fundamental tactic.

<<?If leaders in America… were really enthusiastic about reducing terrorism and the threat of terrorism as they claim they are, all they would have to do is to stop their terrible favoritism of Israel>>

Israel was never, nor is it a motivation for AQ’s actions.  The Palestinians have been kicked around by Arabs for generations and are a sideshow distraction to Islamist’s ideological war against the west.  Use them as your excuse if you want, but the Islamists sure don’t.

She should be porn star film instead !

Yes, our support of Israel, blind and ideological, is a cancer in the middle east. Just as America’s UN-support of Cuba is a cancer in the Americas. A blind folly, fostering sorrow and hatred.

The American populous, fed a gruel of “Us vs. Them” all their lives, reinforced by a pathetic media, sadly and incomprehessibly thinks of “Arabs” and “Cubans” only as filthy sub-humans not worthy of basic humanity.

America’s disgusting sense of superiority drives our leadership, driving us all into perpetual war.

Why?

In one word: EGO.

The sad, firm and irrevocable truth is before Israel, Islam was of little concern to America.

Islam was of little concern to America before 9/11.

Americans, in general, think little of the rest of the world, in general. That is not necessarily a bad thing, I too just want to have a life, and do not want to be concerned with the world. However…

Americans’ lack of concern of America’s foriegn policy and trade descisions, means, that selfish, corporate power brokers are exploiting the world’s resources, backed by the U.S. military. This too is a firm and irrevocable truth.

What saddens me is that those in charge are the “Know Nothings”.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Know_Nothing

If leaders in America, England or another of the other so-called “civilized” countries in the world were really enthusiastic about reducing terrorism and the threat of terrorism as they claim they are, all they would have to do is to stop their terrible favoritism of Israel and in their support and financing of Israel’s crimes against humanity.  As Israeli Gen. Moshe Dayan once explained: “The declaration of the State of Israel was at the expense of ethnically cleansing 513 Palestinians villages, creating over 700,000 Palestinians
refugees, and expropriating their lands, homes and businesses in 78% of Palestine...There is not one
single place built in this country (Israel) that did not have a former population (of Arabs).”
And all that happened before 1967. The horrors perpetuated by Israel and subsidized by America on the guiltless Palestinian people is the reason why we have world wide terrorism today and why people
around the world are burdened and plagued with the costs of all the ‘fighting of terrorism’.
Anyone with half a brain and a little character knows that the real terrorists are not the innocent
Palestinians. It is the Israelis and their supporters who are evil. They can’t seem to comprehend - nor want to know - the difference between right and wrong acts, moral and immoral conduct.
Just goes to prove that a people can assume they are “civilized” yet be actually really cruel and have
really stupid leaders. Why can’t something so simple to solve as Muslim terrorism be so difficult? Muslims are not evil people. This problem would not exist if they did not believe their Muslim brothers are being annihiliated by evil people and what goes on in Gaza, Lebanon and the West Bank only proves it. Is it the world’s leaders lack of intelligence and wisdom or is it their lack of courage and lack of freedom?  If the best in the West can’t solve anything as plain and simple and perfectly clear as Muslim terrorism what makes them think they will be able to solve the tremendously more complex problem of the earth’s environment?

Bingo Atheo! You get it my friend, sometimes it sucks to be right.

Israel bought Congress years ago and to remind them things changed on 9/11 they got a dollop of Anthrax w/their arugala salad & seltzer.

What good friends left behind
by John Pilger

...CIA director William Casey had given his backing to a plan put forward by Pakistan’s intelligence agency, the ISI, to recruit people from around the world to join the Afghan jihad. More than 100,000 Islamic militants were trained in Pakistan between 1986 and 1992, in camps overseen by the CIA and MI6, with the SAS training future al-Qaida and Taliban fighters in bomb-making and other black arts. Their leaders were trained at a CIA camp in Virginia. This was called Operation Cyclone and continued long after the Soviets had withdrawn in 1989…

“Terror Risk Greater Than Ever”

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

A stark picture of a protracted and rising terrorist threat—mainly from al-Qaeda, but also from other extremist-Muslim terrorist groups—emerges from a comprehensive U.S. intelligence report, released yesterday in Washington.

The National Intelligence Estimate says U.S.-led counter- terrorism efforts since 2002 successfully stunted al-Qaeda’s power, but adds that the terrorist organization has regenerated its “attack capability” as it projects itself from its new “safe haven” in northwestern Pakistan. It warns the group is intensifying its efforts to place terrorists inside the United States, and surmises how the war in Iraq could help it achieve that goal.

Beyond the al-Qaeda threat, the report says U.S. pressure on Iran may provoke Tehran-funded Hezbollah to strike inside the U.S. from its base in Lebanon.
====
How convenient for israel - the US gets an excuse to knock off all its enemies.
====

The survey also suggests home-grown terrorists are more of a threat to Europe than the U.S., although it says the proliferation of western-based radical Islamic Internet sites suggests the problem is growing.

The release of the document, which pulls together analyses of all 16 U.S. intelligence agencies, came as President George W. Bush met at the White House with UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, who prefaced his arrival by offering a measure of support for the administration’s Iraq policy. Mr. Ban had cautioned against any “abrupt withdrawal” of U.S. troops from Iraq—prompting Mr. Bush to express his gratitude.
====
Good doggie.
====

“We are steadfast in our determination to not only protect the American people, but to protect these young democracies,” Mr. Bush said in reference to not only Iraq, but also Afghanistan. “I appreciate your interest in the subject,” he said to Mr. Ban.

While Kofi Annan was secretary general, the UN refused to endorse the Iraq invasion, and Mr. Annan himself called it “illegal.” But Mr. Ban—who received strong U.S. backing to succeed Mr. Annan at the beginning of the year—said of the Democratic-led push for a withdrawal from Iraq that “caution should be taken for the sake of the Iraqi people.” Democrats in the U.S. Senate went ahead yesterday with an around-the-clock debate on a measure aimed at demanding that Mr. Bush withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq by April 2008.

Although the Democrats control the Senate 51-49 and have the support of some Republicans for troop redeployment, observers said it seemed certain they did not have the 60 votes necessary to advance the measure.

“This is a problem of the whole world and, as far as the United Nations is concerned, we are prepared to contribute to (the) Iraqi government and people to help them overcome this difficulty, in close co-operation with the (U.S.-led) multinational force, and including the United States,” Mr. Ban said.
====
That’s bullshit - israel-firsters from all over the world start the mess and expect everyone else to clean it up!

====
Canada is among the countries that have contributed significantly to the UN-led Iraq Compact, which seeks to provide extensive reconstruction help in exchange for promises by the Iraqi government to enact reforms.

The report suggests al-Qaeda has never been interested in carrying out what could be easier small operations—preferring to strike big “with the goal of producing mass casualties, visually dramatic destruction, significant economic after-shocks, and ... fear among the U.S. population.”

The assessment warns against underestimating the group, describing its operatives as “innovative in creating new capabilities and overcoming security obstacles.” It adds al-Qaeda terrorists “would not hesitate” to use chemical, biological or radioactive material, but suggests they have had difficulty acquiring it.

false flag in the works.

The Real Terrorism:

Death from Above
By Brian Cook

On June 22, the Operation Iraqi Freedom website issued a press release that hyped a devastating blow against 17 al-Qaeda terrorists, who were gunned down by coalition attack helicopters at Khalis, Iraq, a small town outside of Baqouba. But when the BBC visited the town days later, the villagers told a different story. The men attacked by coalition forces were not al-Qaeda members, but local village guards, who only minutes earlier had been helping Iraqi police raid a suspect’s house. (It turned out to be a false alarm.) Eleven of the men were killed when U.S. helicopters suddenly appeared, raining missiles and heavy machine gunfire upon them. “It was like a battlefront, but with the fire going only in one direction,” one local witness said. “There was no return fire.”

These tragic deaths represent more than another sad chapter in the Pentagon’s Tolstoyan-length Book of Lies. At the same time Iraq has undergone a “surge” of an extra 28,000 U.S. troops, the country has experienced a surge in the number of U.S. bombs dropped on it. On June 11, the Associated Press’ Charles J. Hanley reported that in the first four and a half months of 2007, the U.S. Air Force dropped 237 bombs and missiles on Iraq, eight more than in all of 2006. (Those totals don’t include cannon rounds or rocket fire, nor any weaponry fired by Marine Corps aircraft.) It’s no surprise the number of Iraqi civilians killed by coalition forces has surged as well.

According to Iraq Body Count (IBC), a British anti war group that tabulates Iraqi civilian deaths reported by the media, civilian deaths by air strikes, rose steadily toward the end of 2006, before increasing by 25 percent this year, to an average of more than 50 a month. Due to its passive methodology, IBC’s numbers—while valuable in capturing trends—are likely conservative. Johns Hopkins University epidemiologists, writing in the Lancet last October, reported that coalition air strikes caused 13 percent of all violent civilian deaths between March 2003 and June 2006. At the time the survey ended, which was before the escalation of air strikes in late 2006, and the even greater escalation in 2007, the estimate stood at more than 78,000 Iraqis killed by coalition aircraft.

The situation in Afghanistan might be worse. As Hanley noted, the 237 munitions dropped in Iraq pale to the 929 bombs and missiles dropped in Afghanistan in the first four and a half months of this year. That number does not include the bombs dropped on June 18 on a madrassa—claimed by the military to be an “al-Qaeda hideout”—that killed seven Afghan children. Nor does it include the bombs dropped four days later on the village of Kunjakak that claimed the lives of at least 25 civilians, including nine women and three babies.

That last attack, the coup de grace of a 10-day period that saw coalition forces kill 90 civilians, prompted the normally pliant Afghan President Hamid Karzai to hold a press conference in which he castigated NATO and U.S. forces for treating Afghan civilian lives as “cheap.” In response, a NATO spokesman promised the coalition would “do better.”

The promise held for five days, until coalition forces responded to a Taliban ambush outside the southern town of Hyderabad by bombing several compounds in the village, resulting in 45 civilian deaths. That raised the number of Afghan civilians killed by coalition forces this year, mostly through airstrikes, to more than 300, which the Afghan government, the AP and aid organizations all report is higher than the number of civilians ruthlessly killed by the Taliban.

If it wasn’t clear before, it is shamefully obvious now that using massive air power to combat guerilla insurgencies isn’t merely ineffective or counterproductive in fighting terrorism. It is terrorism and, like all its forms, it must be opposed.

Oh for Christ sake...duh!!!

If someone was to sit down and try to figure out how to increase the influence and effectiveness of Al Qaeda, they couldn’t have come up with a better plan than the one bush and cheney put into action.

Come on…jeez…as so many posters have already stated: Before Iraq there was no Al Qaeda in Iraq…now…they’re everywhere.

This was either the greatest military miscalculation in history or the most vile, evil, Machiavellian plan in our history (forget “Operation Northwoods”, this is operational).  Given these people (shrub and cheney) aren’t stupid, I vote for the latter. 

So, the question is, what are you going to do about it?  You know it’s not too late, but it will be very soon.  The worst Boogeyman you ever saw is on the way!!!  The fascist are here...the fascists are here…

A few quotes from Goebble’s “Principles of Propaganda”
[AKA Bush handbook]

“To be perceived, propaganda must evoke the interest of an audience and must be transmitted through an attention-getting communications medium”
[Sieg Heil NYT]

“Credibility alone must determine whether propaganda output should be true or false”

“Propaganda may be facilitated by leaders with prestige”

“Propaganda must be carefully timed - must begin at the optimum moment”
[9/11]

“A propaganda theme must be repeated, but not beyond some point of diminishing effectiveness”
[Remember the laughable color-code terror alerts? Diminished effectiveness. Ashcroft wasn’t evil enough. Had to go]

“Propaganda must label events and people with distinctive phrases or slogans”
[Given the minds of our leader and congress, it has to be simple - alqaeda - terror - GWOT]

“They (phrases or slogans) must evoke desired responses which the audience previously possesses”
[9/11]

“They must be capable of being easily learned”
[alqaeda - terror - GWOT]

“They must be utilized again and again, but only in appropriate situations”
[If you can’t find appropriate situations - create them - courtesy main-stream-media]

“They must be boomerang-proof”
[Probably why they’ve dropped “alqaeda in Mesopotamia” already and gone back to “alqaeda in Iraq” - Israel got boomeranged]

“Propaganda to the home front must prevent the raising of false hopes which can be blasted by future events”
[Deliberate chaos in Iraq - we’re winning - we’re losing - etc. etc.]

“Propaganda to the home front must create an optimum anxiety level”
[alqaeda is coming - 9/11 - alqaeda is coming - 9/11]

“Propaganda must reinforce anxiety concerning the consequences of defeat”
[Fight them over there so they wont come over here]

“Propaganda must diminish anxiety (other than concerning the consequences of defeat) which is too high and which cannot be reduced by people themselves”
[Be afraid, but go shopping]

“Propaganda must facilitate the displacement of aggression by specifying the targets for hatred”
[Iraq - Muslims - alqaeda - Iran - Pakistan - terror - Hezbollah - “others” - hate our “freedoms” so we must hate them]

“Propaganda cannot immediately affect strong counter-tendencies; instead it must offer some form of action or diversion, or both”
[GWOT - IRAQ - SAVE ISRAEL - HATE PALESTINE, GAYS, ALIENS AND IRAN - ACCEPT ETERNAL GWOT]

The one thing you will never read about in Goebble’s guide or hear about from his clones in DC, is the value of human life. Because to them, there is none.

Why should Bush respond to criticism of what seems like an insane policy?
Why should he - the insanity is working!

http://www.psywarrior.com/Goebbels.html

Here’s a scary thought!
What if there is no reason?
What if 9/11 was engineered, and Iraq was attacked, and Iran and who knows else is next, and new nukes are being built and the treasury has been looted and our military is being destroyed and our congress is on the verge of ushering in the first US Dictator - just because?

No reason - just because!
Like Goebbel, the only reason - the only belief - the only God -
“The self-justification of power”

That and the fact that they’re all greedy, selfish, amoral and completely insane!

#87606 by Reality Checker on 7/17 at 10:16 pm

Not a highly consisten post: you accuse the aministration of stoking fear while talking about the high likelyhood of terrorists nuking a US port.  Then you claim it can all be settled through negotiation, forgetting that 9/11 was planned before Bush entered office.  Who do we “negotiate” with?  What government?

The Dept of Homeland Insecurity seems to be worried sick about al Qaeda and some mickey mouse nuke that hasn’t even been built yet. What about the nukes that are already built and ready to go? They do not seem to be worried about how easy it would be for anyone or group with the nukes and the intent could easily deliver them (anonymously) to our harbors disguised as cargo and detonate them in the harbors thereby taking out the major cities that the harbors are part of.

How many would it take to cripple or destroy this country as we know it? The right wing fear and hate machine is presently engaged in some sort of world domination/takeover bid and is creating enemies at home and abroad. How much provocation will it take before these enemies muster the intent required to proceed with such an enterprise?

Perhaps the Dept. should consider the strategy that involves doing things that create friends throughout the world instead of enemies. Friends don’t nuke friends. Fear is the mother of all hatred. Hatred sounds tough but it is a mask for the weakness which is fear. If they were really tough they would be able to face their fears instead of hiding their fears behind hatred.

This is interesting, and long...but see #6:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/05/200705 09-12.html

Holy Cow...talk about the “Decider”.  Take a fake terrorist attack and use the above directive and you have an official dictator.

Heil Bush!  Coming to a theater near you before the 2008 election.

It seems to me that as the talk of impeachment grows louder so to does the threat of an attack by Al Qaida grow stronger.  Could it be that the Bush boys are doing their best to drown out all of that nasty talk? Could code red be just around the corner?

Bin Laden Uncovers Secret Formula to Halt Ageing Process

Bush and Blair look decidedly ropey six years later but Osama retains his youthful exuberance!
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet

In his spare time between traversing and hiding in the caves of the mountainous Pakistani border region, Osama bin Laden has amazingly found the time to develop a secret scientific formula that completely halts the ageing process! Don’t believe us? Look at the photos, Osama hasn’t aged a day since 2001!

Look at the pattern of graying in the beard! Osama’s barely aged a day! If anything, he looks younger six years later!

Compare him to Bush and Blair, who have obviously not had access to Bin Laden’s remarkable discovery and have aged badly.

Don’t let tinfoil hate wearing conspiracy theorists fool you into thinking that the new Bin Laden tape was just cobbled together old footage released by the Neo-Cons to justify “staying the course” in Iraq 6 months after the failed surge!

In reality, Osama has achieved an amazing scientific breakthrough and must be captured immediately so that the entire world can enjoy the benefits of eternal youth!

U.S. Government Caught Red-Handed Releasing Staged Al-Qaeda Videos

Paul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet.com | October 5 2006

Revelations that the US government had been in possession of footage released on Sunday depicting alleged Al-Qaeda hijackers and Osama Bin Laden since 2001 and evidence that the footage itself was filmed by security agencies, went unquestioned by the media - who blindly towed the official line that the tape was released by Al-Qaeda. This is smoking gun proof that the U.S. government is staging the release of alleged Al-Qaeda tapes and it demands an immediate Congressional investigation.

Segments of the video that were interspersed with footage of the “laughing hijackers,” Jarrah and Atta, showing Bin Laden giving a speech to an audience in Afghanistan on January 8 2000, were culled from what terror experts describe as surveillance footage taken by a “security agency.”

This explains the lack of a soundtrack in the video and the fact that the tape does not focus solely on Bin Laden but pans around and shows the attendees in the audience.

Furthermore, film of the Bin Laden speech, reported by the dominant media as new footage, was previously broadcast in the UK docudramaThe Road to Guantanamo, which was first seen on British television nearly seven months ago in March.

News reports over the weekend contained the admission that the U.S. government had been in possession of the footage since 2002, while others said it was found when the United States invaded Afghanistan in 2001, and yet it was still bizarrely reported that the tape, bearing all the hallmarks of having been filmed and edited by undercover US intelligence and having admittedly been in US possession for five years, was released over the weekend by Al-Qaeda.

The latest video tape hoax is only the most recent of a dirty laundry list of past examples where old, re-hashed, or outright faked footage of Bin Laden and his followers was mysteriously obtained and released at the most politically expedient time.

Recall that the Pentagon’s stated intention to artificially magnify Musab Al-Zarqawi’s role in Iraq was followed by the release of a video tape of Al-Zarqawi threatening the infidels.

The target of this leaked propaganda campaign to boost Al-Qaeda’s profile was said to be the “U.S. home audience,” and included planting fake stories in newspapers - one of which was later splashed on the front page of the New York Times.

The agenda dovetails with the necessity of the torture program - there are very few real terror cells in existence outside of the puppet mastery of the U.S. and British intelligence apparatus. To maintain a state of fear and obedience amongst the target “home audience,” there need to be regular “two minutes of hate” intervals and the artificial creation of supposed terrorist networks and plots.

We need to demand higher standards from our media starting with a proper investigation as to who the true source of this tape was and an immediate skepticism towards all such future alleged “Al-Qaeda” video tape releases.

A press that lazily dismisses the origins of these tapes as a side-issue is playing a central role in disseminating unchecked war propaganda and violating every code of journalistic ethical conduct.

The U.S. government’s role in obtaining and carefully stage-managing the dissemination of these tapes, many of them old footage re-released over and over again, is now without a doubt manifestly obvious and demands immediate Congressional investigation as part of a wider probe into the admitted fake news scandal that has characterized the Bush White House as the most duplicitous and manipulative administration in history and befits a regime that is engaging in psychological warfare against the American people.

No shit?  But Ann Coulter said the Global War of Terror was going “swimmingly”, and Bush has said he “doesn’t even think about Osama Bin Laden.”

You mean to tell me that invading and occupying Iraq has increased the threat of terrorism? 

Funny.  There was no Al-Qaeda in Iraq before we showed up and flung the doors open with a neon arrow flashing the following slogans, “Saddam Is Gone Clearance Sale---RPG’s at 50% off! 450,000 Recently Fired and Very Bitter Iraqi Soldiers to Assist Your Shopping Needs! New Battlefield and Training Center for Future Terrorists--Enter Here”.

Whooda thunk it?

The chance of being killed by criminals, tornados, our own police, even the vanishing honey bee is greater that being killed by these “terrorists” who we’ve squandered our childrens inheritance on.

I’m glad I’m armed in case they sneak up on me watering my lawn.

Yes, I believe that you are right, however we got in bed with Israel, how do we get out ?

The sad, firm and irrevocable truth is before Israel, Islam was of little concern to America.
