I was thinking exactly the same thing.... I think it's also a VERY bad sign that he mentions the Anniversary of Hiroshima. We've been reading for years now that Al-Qaeda had named their new plan "American Hiroshima"...
If they really do have a plan, this is very clearly the signal to launch it.
It could very well be that this message was taped a long time ago....as part of their plan. But, that really doesn't matter.
The scariest part of this to me is.... the predictable response of the Bush-haters... just read some of the replies on the ABC page about this video. Simply amazing. People here will just NOT GET IT... until one or more American cities is unihabitable for 10,000 years... even then, I expect they will blame Bush.
It's called denial. Some things are just to horrible to contemplate as real. It's amazing how the human body sets up such defenses. In this case it works sort of like the euphoria one gets with a mortal wound, just before the end.
On the other hand, some semiconscious liberals think they can deal with these fanatics in the same way they have some of our out of control Christians. It's sad really that they don't know any better. But how could they? All religion looks the same to them.
