Yep. ABC is most likely working on a storyline that blames Bush for concealing the tape. If that doesn't work, then it's Bush's fault for motivating the attack; if that doesn't work, then its just Bush's fault!

[HairOfTheDog]

This is GREAT for Bush -- keeps threat of terrorism as the central issue heading into the weekend. Let the story be the story.

Go to hell. Terrorism is a serious threat, not just political fodder. This is not a game. I do ~not~ hope for another tragedy to prove we're right, ever.

ABCNEWS HOLDS TERROR WARNING TAPE

**Exclusive**

In the last week before the election, ABCNEWS is holding on a videotaped message from a purported al Qaeda terrorist warning of a new attack on America, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

The terrorist claims on tape the next attack will dwarf 9/11. "The streets will run with blood," and "America will mourn in silence" because they will be unable to count the number of the dead. Further claims: 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.

ABCNEWS strongly denies holding the tape back from broadcast over political concerns during the last days of the election.

The CIA is analyzing the tape, a top federal source tells the DRUDGE REPORT.

ABCNEWS obtained the tape from a source in Waziristan, Pakistan over the weekend, sources tells DRUDGE.

"We have been working 24 hours a day trying to authenticate [the tape]," a senior ABCNEWS source said Wednesday morning.

The terrorist's face is concealed by a head dress, and he speaks in an American accent, making it difficult to identify the individual. But US intelligence officials believe that man may be Adam Gadhan - aka Adam Pearlman - a southern California native who was highlighted by the FBI in May as an individual most likely to be involved in or have knowledge of the next al Qaeda attacks.

According to the FBI, Gadahn, 25, attended al-Qaida training camps and served as an al-Qaida translator.

The disturbing tape runs an hour -- the man simply identifies himself as 'Assam the American.'

You are right, looks like a typical DU'er.

[WoodstockCat]

American accent is probably making them make sure it wasn't a high school kid in CA creating a hoax, a phony, like say forged documents.

Adam Gadhan? Wasn't he the lead singer of Depeche Mode?

I'm no fool - evidently we need to round up every american-speaking Carmen Miranda fanatic.

Drudge says the tape says:

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.

But what is the tape actually says this...?

America will bring this on itself for electing George Bush who has made war on Islam by destroying the Taliban and making war on Al Qaeda.

Not sure how much this could change the weenie vote.

[madison46]

I'm with you...not much news except maybe ABC is spiking it...One bit of good news is that we have a source in Waziristan, Pakistan ;-)

"They declared war on us on September 11, 2001!"

I think OBL issued his fatwa against Americans in 1998.

Dang, our people are GOOD

[hiredhand]

Ya know....I'm not sure why, but it seems that people (especially on FR :-) have had a pension for "speaking my fears" in the past month or so.

So....in a vain attempt at preventing this, I'll just go ahead and SAY it. I can NOT be the only one thinking this. So forgive me in advance for speaking somebody elses fears....BUT...

MSM comes up with this big story about massive missing explosives. Yeah...yeah...we all know it's an old story. But, nonetheless, a lot of "sheeple" plug into it and buy it.

Now, ABC has this warning video.

I've been wondering for months now just how low the left is willing to stoop. Their pattern of anger and violence does not lessen as it becomes more apparent that GWB is going to retain the executive office.

I'm suggesting that the "left", or some portion thereof is willing to take the lives of American citizens inside of our own borders, for political gain.

....explosives are missing...new terror warning....."Ka-boom".... people die....Now it's all GWBs fault.

Yeah...I know...I know....Tin foil hat sort of talk. But I'm NOT the only one who has considered this.

...and if those of us who have considered this are correct, then our nation is on the verge of something much larger than any of us have thought about yet.

[fivecatsandadog]

yabut, the terrorists want Kerry to WIN.

[vrwcagent0498]

He looks remarkably like Karl Rove. LOL!

[tophat9000]

Run it... if it bump the vote to Bush good... if it bumps the vote to Kerry... it tells us something about our country that we need know..

[Toespi]

Wasn't there a threat last year that a major news media would receive a tape right before an attack and then would be given notice as to where the attack was to take place so it could be caught live?
