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.

You do realize that America has hundreds of thousands of gallons of this stuff...right? So does Russia, Britian, France, Italy, Turkey, China...well you get the point.

[Gritty]

....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

I think you missed my point, which was this stuff has been used in weaponized, aerosolized form for 85 years and has killed and injured 100s of thousands, if not millions. These are fearsome weapons if used properly, especially on unprotected troops and/or populations.

But chemical weapons are not new. Anybody with access to the basic chemicals and a way to combine them and distribute them can be a player if they are willing to take the risk. Low tech cropdusters or numerous other easy, cheap distribution systems are readily available to the imaginative.

Chemical weapons are not new, and it should surprise absolutely nobody that bin Laden and his buddies have them and are testing them to make sure they work. There are a number of nasty countries who could - and maybe would - pass this stuff on to him, all ready to go. The fact we have footage of them testing the stuff is surprising only to Liberal TV viewers, who invariably live in a dream world and think "it can never happen to me, after all, I'm a very special people!".

One thing is for sure; showing this test on national TV might concentrate the minds of a few of these naive naysayers and let them reflect on just who the bad guys are and what they may have in store for us. Liberals can die agonizing deaths, just like Conservatives, if TSHTF. There are numerous more pleasant ways to die than puking yourself to death, having your skin burnt off, feeling your mucous membranes disintegrate, being painfully blinded and drowning in your own mucous, or merely suffocating in twisted agony.

This is scary,... but not surprising.

Do you suppose that CNN was celebrating Al-Qaida's technological triumph? I mean, if the Muslims can gas people like that, they may be able to achieve their dream of annihilating Israel, mass-killing Christians and Jews, and destroying Western Civilization.

I mean, if the Muslims can gas people like that, they may be able to achieve their dream of annihilating Israel, mass-killing Christians and Jews, and destroying Western Civilization.

Well, that appears to be their goal, isn't it?

CNN had another follow-up report, very interesting highlights:

1. Israel will not sit out a war with Iraq as she did in 1991.

2. Israel may bomb dams in Iraq--turning the place into a Prague-look-alike.

3. Israel wants to show the Arab world it has "what it takes to survive in the region, and Israel means to prove it this time."

Weird how CNN had this report just hours after they reported the Israelis proved these gruesome tapes were legit...and then CNN tells us they will run them all week in a Special Report called "TERROR ON TAPE."

Just the messenger folks.

I hope Scrokroft was watching

Mail...

OH man, this just might win some lefties now in the fight against these folks--PETA and all. Now they've done it....

[My Favorite Headache]

Since the ratings are in the toilet they now have to resort to telling the truth.

[glory]

exactly my thought when seeing this

Israeli Intelligence is better than the FBI. If they gave the nod to it...it is the real stuff.

[veronica]

Not for nothing is this being released IMO just as Bush is trying to rally people behind a strike against Saddam - who we believe HAS CHEMICAL weapons.

[ASDFGHJK]

Israeli Intelligence is better than the FBI.

Might be a major understatement.

[Dog]

Could this gave come from Arafats HQ ???

[Dog]

gave=have

[My Favorite Headache]

Time will tell us nothing there. Our state department is still protecting the Pali's and Arafat. With the approval of Israel on this, people will say it was created by the U.S. and the jews. Typical Islamic verbal denial slop.

All I can think is that on a lazy hot summer day when America went about it's business ....a little bombshell was dropped.

Our enemy has the know how to use a chemical agent and turn it into a weapon...

[Allegra]

Sorry, but did we really need to see this footage???? Just the soft spot for animals speaking right now... They certainly wouldn't have showed it had it been a human.

I understand exactly how you feel about that and while I haven't seen the footage, reading the descriptions is heartbreaking. I love animals, too.

But I think it helps to remind those who are becoming complacent after 9/11 just how vile these people really are.

But I'm with you....I'm not going to watch it. I just don't think I can.

[GeekDejure]

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

I'm just wondering what number (1 thru 72) is hanging around the neck of the "virgin" that Osama is currently diddling when he's not at a meeting ??? ;-))

ping!

Well last year at this time there were 19 men preparing to attack America and all kinds of signs were out there. Bush was on vacation in Crawford and the country was talking about Stem Cell Research. This year it is a baseball strike, Bush is in Crawford again, and there are signs of chemical attack and a war against a country producing said chemicals.

Methinks we are going to have another sunny Summer day again...just like the one on 9/11/01. Except there will be very little in the way of hero worship that day. It will be a matter of asking "Are we the last one's left alive?, are we the only human beings to survive?"
