1. Baloney
It doesn't make sense that AQ would send the tape to the WH.

As usual, they've made up this whole thing, imo.

2. In the past, these tapes were delivered to Al Jazeera, not the White House. It could be only online.
Don't know yet.

3. What utter BS. First a press release form Osama about the impending video release,
Edited on Fri Sep-07-07 11:01 AM by CottonBear
then, this morning, I heard a radio reporter quote Richard Clarke saying that "it looks like Osama has on a fake beard."

If the tape has not yet been released, then how can former administration officials and BushCo have seen it?

:grr: OK: "They've" seen it but yesterday it was supposed to be released by Bin Laden to the media in 3 days?

5. The 25% that aren't paying attention will believe all of this BS.
I just knew that an Osama tape would magically appear right when Bush needed it. :(

12. Or bin Laden making sure the craven Dems cave on pulling out of Iraq--something Osama does not want!
Our occupation in Iraq fuels his al Qaeda ranks.

10. Raise your hand...
...if you think Bin Laden's sudden reappearance has something to do with the soon to be released Iraq progress report. Support for Bush‘s war is dwindling. ...The timing of this tape must have something to do with Bush wanting another $50 billion to support his defense spending?

:hi:

11. Bin Laden's doing well I guess
Not only has he lived a lot longer than most with kidney failure, and in a cave designed to handle his dialysis machine, now he has a full time hairdresser stationed in his cave to dye his beard. The Bushies must think we are too stupid for words.

18. I've never heard of any convincing evidence ...
That bin Laden has any kidney problem. That is more widely spread rumor than substantiated fact.

It's so nice of him to send the WH an advance copy.
