[DRUDGE] Al-Quaeda releases a terror warning video to ABC.
Developing...

(of course, that *WAS* to be expected. Anyone think that Rove's behind it?)

4. affraid
I think the bad part of this is that we all know terror warnings make people (women) support Bush and if this is an actual video and not just Bush admin warning, that could spell trouble...

6. Oh brother, that's such crap.
I don't believe in this so called "security moms", sorry. They are just all lumped together under "braindead". This is just more proof that Bush has made life more dangerous than ever.

15. Interesting that you use * talking points
in your post. Besides, women are much smarter than that. BTW: a it's afraid, not "affraid." Is this what they were warning us about earlier today on DU about freepers lurking? Just asking.

18. "We all know terror warnings make women support Bush"
Why, because women are mere emotional creatures and we're so stupid and weak-willed that we'll change our minds based on some bullshit fearmongering?

I don't mean to be testy; maybe I'm misunderstanding your point. But please, give women a little more credit. In fact, if I had to guess I would say that more people, men and women both, are cynical of terror alerts than they are frightened by them.

XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX WED OCT 27, 2004 12:42:01 ET XXXXX

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 ," a senior ABCNEWS source said Wednesday morning.

The terrorist's face is concealed by a head dress, and 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.'

14. Rove's October Surprise.
Does anyone still believe that our shadow government, and secret agencies aren't working with terorists? PNAC and the 'new Pearl Harbor', Operation North Woods, and all that. This is TOO fucking perfect in Rove's eyes. An murderous terrorist group endorsing Kerry, pretty much?

29. It would have to be a Rove line, wouldn't it?
Only Rove and his puppet are really stupid enough to believe that the Taliban has been destroyed. An Al Qaeda operative certainly wouldn't say that. They seem to be into the 'we are invincible and inevitable' nonsense. Much like Junior, now that I think about it. Hmmmm....

"...destroying the Taliban..." HA! Give me a break. Not even close to true and, certainly, not a terrorist's talking point. :eyes:

34. This "Bush destroyed the Taliban" sounds really cheesey.
We know that the Taliban is still active in many parts of Afghanistan. This sounds like a Bush propaganda piece ... 'The great Bush destroyed the Taliban and we are really pissed'. And an hour??? This isn't their MO at all.

32. Plus, this 'terrorist' says B*sh destroyed the Taliban.
Somebody better tell the Taliban they've been destroyed. They don't appear to know that. Quick, tell them to fall down. :eyes: Sheesh. Rove's slipping. He was obviously not cut out for an international stage. Texas was his limit.

26. LMAO!!! I am more convinced now than ever that we'll win
6 days before the Election, they release a tape with a guy whose face you can't see, speaking American English, and saying that terrorists don't want Bush to win.

How fucking pathetic can those fuckers be????

39. This isn't Al Qaeda's modus operandi
As far as I know, Al Qaeda's pattern is to not issue warnings or claim credit.

AQ does attempt to rally its followers with tapes sent to its followers, and these often appear just before an attack. And intelligence has picked up increases in terrorist communications and other evidence warning of attacks in advance, as we all here know. But I can't think of a single instance of an Al Quada warning aimed at a prospective victim.

I do wonder if this one comes from Osama Bin Republican.
