The video WAS the Terror
Before we start hyperventilating about Osama' newest (and admittedly bone-chilling) threat I would just like to remind you that part of the terrorist agenda is to make people live in fear. Raising the level of fear is one of their greatest weapons. From time-to-time they may back it up with a specific act of violence, but the fear is often a more destructive (and efficient) weapon than a bomb.

I, for one, will not live in fear.

Even with the groveling incompetetence of the Bush Administration, we have to have at least some level of trust in the law enforcement, intelligence and security personnel. Most of those people are just like you and me. They love the country and would rather be killed themselves than have harm come to the rest of the country.

keep the faith folks. Not in Dubya, but in our fellow Americans. (at least some of which, I hope, are Dems)

1. how can that tape
make anyone 'fear'? bunch of losers in robes in the mountains. bunch of cowards and Islamic extremists don't scare me in the least.

what scares me is why does this President attack countries with no tie to those cowards, and puts 1/100th the effort into killing these cowards in their caves? that is the big question...

2. Correct perhaps, but whose terror......
Bush Admin's or Bin Laden's....? Both?


I have ZERO trust in the US government, but some in about half of the American people.

3. Can't blame you for the skepticism
With all the lies this administration has told, it's good to question. But, as Freud once said, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar

4. So they finally decided to dust off another tape.
b*sh numbers are only high when people are afraid.

Next thing they're going to tell us is that it's "orange."

Sigh.

Oh well, back to a tape of Osama for some comic relief.
