I wonder why ABC would not run this? Does it make it seem as though the terrorist wuld rather have Kerry for President?

ABC should be ashamed!

If I was part of ABC I would want to make damb sure it is real.

They are claiming that the tape was found this past week-end in Pakistan and that the CIA is working around the clock to verify. I would hope that ABC is working in conjunction with Homeland Security to make sure that prior to airing there are no "hidden codes" or "hidden messages" etc.

But I find it suspicious that info. was leaked to let everyone know that ABC has the tape to begin with....maybe ABC was trying to get a jump on the story before info. on a new tape was released to all MSM.

My personal opinion is the Kerry/Edwards are toast anyway...no matter what "October Surprise" occurs.

I thought the Democrats said President Bush was losing the war on terrorists? I thought they said we should have gone after OBL and the TALIBAN, instead of SADDAM?

Well, here is one of their own, (American Traitor), who 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.

TIME TO PARTY. WE DESTROYED THE TALIBAN!

Maybe they will, but only pressure. It's one of those statements that give context to the wide variety of Islamist agendas. The anti-American reportage generally selects and focuses on subjects that confirm their prejudices how they think Islamists think - basically we, and maybe Israel, are the "cause". Bringing up complaints about getting rid of the Taliban is problematic for anti-American slants because the generally lefty view is that the Taliban leaving is not a bad thing. Osama's speeches were full of worldwide objectives and complaints, rarely these are noted.

Another way is selective reporting. Take the Spanish incident. The videos attributing blame specifically mentioned not only Iraq, but Afghanistan. In reportage the Afghanistan angle is overlooked.
