They seem to have videotaped many of their own attacks.

I guess, when being vigilant, also look for people, who look like they are waiting, and ready to start the tape rolling, when there is nothing apparently is going on...yet.

The Time seems to build up the tape -- helping the terrorists trying to scare us.

Well, we don't scare easily.

The problem is that the terrorists know how to use propaganda and our liberal media are willing accomplices.

Given directly to TIME, the video is a bold, menacing statement of the group's intent and capability. The subtext of this disturbing tape is that for the U.S. this is likely to be a long, drawn out fight in Iraq against a committed, well-organized enemy.
It doesn't even occur to the super-geniuses at TIME that this "bold, menacing statement" is propaganda, designed to dishearten and discourage coalition forces.

Useful idiots indeed.

Seems to me it is about time that the US starts trailing selected reporters (Jazeera, Guardian, Time, CNN, etc) each day with the Predator or other drones. See where they go, who else comes to see them, etc.

Then trail the ones who they met with, and kill the folks that those folks go to meet with. I guess this happens only in Tom Clancy books?

History will look back at the cowardly media and judge them accordingly.

Zarqawi is a small fish, consider the US has a long history of success in nabbing and defeating bullies , ranging from organized crime figures, Nazis, Balkans and the brutal regime leaders of former Iraq , the list is long...

Do we really know who shot the footage? Time or the jihadis?

No! Really?!? And it only took them 15-16 months to come up with this conclusion?

No wonder Time is the premier news magazine of our generation. [cough]

Each episode of this grim "Best Of" the militant group's attacks over the last year is accompanied by professional-style editing, graphics and camera work. Explanations are given of each operation, the names of the suicide bombers, and the targeting justification.

I smell al-Jazeera. There is a reason why they give this propaganda to Time. They want the media and the American public to buy the message they are conveying, i.e., it is a going to be a long, costly war for America and the sooner we can get out the better.

I think a different message can be gleaned from the videotape. The terrorists know that they cannot win militarily and that time is not on their side. They need to change the political equation sooner rather than later. The only way is to undermine the political support in the US. This is the lesson they have learned from Vietnam. Time needs to do a better job of critical analysis rather than just being a conduit for this crap. Of course, they won't because they have a political agenda of their own.

They made a major mistake in giving it to Time Magazine - I will never see it. It will only get the zany left crowd.

The notion of suicidal jihadis taping their exploits isn't new, nor is it "chilling."

It certainly doesn't prove that they're any more or any less organized or more numerous than anyone thought.

We're on the way out, the Iraqis are on the way in to defending and determining their own country and way of life. I suspect that Zarqawi and his idiot minions will soon be up against a far less PC force of arms than we can be at the moment.

"for the U.S. this is likely to be a long, drawn out fight in Iraq against a committed, well-organized enemy."

"Committed" and "well-organized", huh? And this from Time magazine.

Well just remember this:

No matter how "committed" and "well-organized" America's enemies are,
9/11 was never repeated--
because of President George W. Bush!!!

Not because the terrorists didn't try!
Not because Al-Qaida didn't want to repeat it!
Not because these satanic terrorists are uncommitted or disorganized!

The September 11, 2001, "Pearl Harbor" attack on the United States was not repeated BECAUSE OF THE EXPERT AND HEROIC LEADERSHIP OF PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH!

Whom will Zarqawi, bin Laden, Zawahiri and the other terrorists vote for??? Not George W. Bush! That's for sure!

I suspect some of his group are also employees of Al Jazeera.

Time Maggotzine brags about receiving something "directly" from al-Zarqawi?

My question is why oh why has Time decided to side with the terrorists? Why do I conclude this? Because this tape was delivered directly to Time...that means they have contacts and knowledge of the whereabouts of these slime balls. It is like the TV camera grews who stand by and watch as gang bangers do their dirty little deeds. I am tired of the lame stream media and their support of our enemies...DO NOT BUY THEIR PRODUCT...that is the only lesson they understand
