Thank you! I heard on Fox that this tape is an hour long and contains details of the next attack. If it is of "low level concern" as the CIA says, why haven't any excerpts been released? After all, Bin Laden and al-Zawahiri's tapes are always released following analysis.

Analysis: The Significance of the Blood-Moon Eclipse with Today's Events
Source: TT Analysis | 5:21:58 PM EST
Tonight marks an event that is being heralded by Islamic fundamentalists as a sign from Allah that a Holy War with the USA and western Christian civilization will lead to an Islamic millennial kingdom with Islam becoming the only religion on Earth. The event that would precipitate all of this is called a "blood-moon eclipse". While a total lunar eclipse is rare and won't happen again until March 2007, of course it is made all the more rare when the parameters include that it must come during a particular Ramadan.
Such an eclipse in Islamic prophecy is seen as heralding a sign from Allah that the Islamic "messiah" will come forth to lead Islam in a Holy War against the infidels of the world that will conclude with Islam reigning supreme around the planet. Such prophecy has already apparently steeled the nerves of Al Qaeda leadership which is steeped in Islamic fundamentalism.
Under this Theological Prophecy, some of Islam's more influential radical theologians issued a Fatwa or theological edict/doctrine that approves, recommends and urges onward those who would take up the banner of Jihad or "holy war" against American Infidels in the Middle East and also within America's continental borders. Why? Because they believe that this Ramadan is the one prophesied and thus the ultimate victory is assured which will bring about "paradise on earth."1
Previous Al-Qaeda Attacks Timed Around Lunar Eclipse
In May of 2003 a total lunar eclipse took place, leaving the moon in a blood red hue. During that same week of 2003 the world witnessed the deadly Riyadh bombings that left 26 dead, many of them Americans.
Late on May 12, while much of Riyadh was asleep, three vehicles: a car, a pickup, and an SUV drove through the streets of Riyadh. Their targets were three compounds: The Dorrat Al Jadawel, a compound owned by MBI International and Partners, the Al Hamra Oasis Village, and the Vinnell Corp. Compound, a compound owned by a Virginia-based defense contractor that was training the Saudi National Guard. All contained large numbers of Americans and Westerners.
Around 11:15 PM, a car packed with explosives attempted to gain entry to the Jadawel compound. Guards opened fire, causing a small gunbattle with the suicide bombers. They then detonated their car, killing the three Saudi security guards.
At the Al Hamra Oasis Village and the Vinnell Corp. compound, the bombers shot the security guards outside the compound gates. They then opened the gates with the security controls and drove their trucks into the compounds. As they fired wildly, they screamed phrases like “Death to the Infidels!”. They then detonated both of their bombs, devastating the compounds.
Today's News about a Terror Warning Tape
While not much information has been released as of now, we do know that a video tape containing a detailed description of the impending attack on America has been released. The speaker on the video tape cannot be independently verified, however many believe it to be FBI's Most Wanted, Adam Yahiye Gadahn. Gadahn is being sought in connection with possible terrorist threats against the United States.
On the 1 hour video tape discovered by ABC News, the speaker makes comments such as "The streets will run with blood," and "America will mourn in silence" because they will be unable to count the number of the dead, and "America has brought this on itself for electing George Bush who has made war on Islam by destroying the Taliban and making war on Al Qaeda."
While the CIA has claimed that they cannot verify the authenticity of the tape, they are beginning to look much further into this video. The timing of the release is either very coincidental or ominous. The CIA's preliminary analysis may have come up short, but judging by the speaker's chilling statements, whatever lies ahead cannot be good.
>> If it is of "low level concern" as the CIA says, why haven't any excerpts been released? <<
Have been wondering about the same. How can "chilling" details be of "low level concern"? Either they think the tape is a hoax or they're trying not to scare the sheeple.
The CIA & Co. are sending conflicting statements. Adds to my uneasiness.
I don't scare easily, but I do get concerned easily.
Need to double check. I've read that it is a low level of concern because there are no details of the next attack.
Interesting that this tape hasn't made it through the jihadi forum channels yet either.
