Posted on 08/18/2002 9:38:27 AM PDT by SkyPilot

CNN's LATE EDITION opened with never before seen captured video taken by agents of Osama Bin Laden that showed a chained up white dog being gassed with a nerve agent.

They reported this was the first time these tapes have ever been seen.

Discussion also on the Sunday Talk Thread.

"The liberal Patrick E. Tyler of the New York Times was the jerk who just published that hit piece saying "Reagan and Bush supported Iraq even though we knew they gassed people!"

The cynic in me comes out when thinking that CNN will make the tie that Al-Quaeda obtained this chemical agent from Iraq, thus accusing both Bush administrations of being complicit in this.

That is the big thing- and a new world will be built before we hear anybody on the Left expressing concern over this factoid or commending President Bush for going after the people who are making this kind of stuff.

I'm just waiting to hear the howls of anguish from the America haters over the death of the dog since we have heard nothing from them (except how it's all America's fault)over the deaths of their fellow citizens. The coldness and meanness and hypocrisy of the Left is sickening.

Not sure who in the left-wing media will pick up on the story. Even CNN's webpage on Late Edition just has a picture of Wolf Blitzer there (for now), and this hit job on America The Great Satan.

I speculate CNN ran with this because they have an exclusive.....and media reporters L-O-V-E to break a story.

Proof of terrorist actions!!!

All those responsible for developing these types of chemical weapons, must be held accountable!!

We should show zero tolerance for this type of evil-doer.

I just turned on CNN, but missed it. We only get the American Edition of CNN once each day. Most times it is the Eee Uuu CNN and that, my friends makes American CNN look almost right wing. Bet the Euro-peon's don't get the Nerve gas story.

I could not find the link to this video on the CNN main page or on their video page. Do you have the URL that links directly to this object?

Maybe the death of a dog will open the Left's eyes to the reality of the insanity we're having to deal with and that President Bush is trying to contain.
Certainly the slaughter of 3000 human beings didn't do it.

I doubt it. Even the frantic fearful FREEPers are fanatically firing upon John Ashcroft, accusing him of crimes against humanity without an ounce of proof.

The deeds of Al Qaeda are mere fantasies to some here even on FR.

Wouldn't surprise me. I just feel as the Nov. election cycle approaches, desperate demos and their puppet media mouthpieces will be throwing more crap around than Hillary, at the height of Monica, in hopes that something sticks.

I just saw a flash promo. Something about the video airing on a show @ 7am EST Monday morning. I could be wrong - it went by so fast...

They found a way to make a chemical agent airborne.......HUGE STORY!

Yeah, huge story alright!

The Huns also managed to do the same thing in 1915! It's not like this a quantum breakthrough in weaponry.

Really....a terrorist group is shown using a weaponized chemical agent...and because the HUNS did it in the 1500's it's no big deal.....ok if you say so.

This would interest you...

My wife watched it also and said the reporter speaking with Blitzer (he was sounded British or Aussie) said it was the Israelis who helped prove the legitimacy of the tapes.

Maybe Israeli Intelligence leak...dunno yet.

No, not really, but terrorists possessing them (even a small amount) is bad news.

Some chemical agents hurt you through skin contact, some are airborne driven, as you know.

I toured Verdun battlefield, and the stories of WW I and the use of gas are just terrible. Even the NAZIs were afraid to use the stuff on the battlefield during the Second World War--they feared it so much. The victims of the Holocaust were not so fortunate.

I experienced gas only once--and it was training gas. I had a chem suit on, and we had to take our masks off in a closed room.

You never in your life saw grown men in such a panic. All that went through my mind was getting the hell out of there--it burned everywhere. That was tame stuff by comparison.

They said it was an "Al-Quaeda Video Library." I don't know where they found it.

They also showed a video of Osama going to a meeting surrounded by gun-toting guards. This was also never before seen footage.
