I turned on CNN and there was Blitzer going on about "New Obama Tape is challenging the President...and while the CIA has not verified this latest from bin Laden we want to get Donna Brazille and Alex Costellanous views on this new tape which has surfaced.
Jaysus Christ! I thought we were done with these antics when the Bushies and Darth left the White House. What is going on here? We now have a "second video" from Obama that Blitzer CNN (THE WAR CHANNEL) says is "UNVERIFIED" but the US/CIA releases this crap as if we are all supposed to shrink back in horror that Osama is "Challenging Obama?"
Who the hell is releasing this crap? Why didn't CNN call Panetta and get him to verify it? If they didn't does that mean the Israeli Hard Right released it and used CNN as a pawn to push it? Why do we have media that reports on CABLE NEWS "Unverified Videos" from the oh so spooky Obama that most of us know is probably dead. :shrug:
You can do a lot with videos these days to doctor them...just like with PhotoShop. WHY DIDN'T CNN WAIT TO VERIFY...and WHY DID PANETTA ALLOW THIS SCAM OUT THERE? CAN ANYONE GIVE SOME INSIGHT? Be sure to go to the site and watch the video...

Osama Bin Laden Challenges Obama In Tapehttp://www.msnbc.msn.com/ID/6363306/LEE KEATH | January 14, 2009 03:14 PM EST | AP
CAIRO, Egypt — Osama bin Laden urged Muslims to launch a jihad against Israel, seeking to harness anger over the Gaza offensive with a new message posted on the Internet on Wednesday.
The al-Qaida chief vowed to open "new fronts" against the U.S. and its allies beyond Iraq and Afghanistan and also criticized Arab leaders, accusing most of them of being allies of the U.S. and Israel.
The White House dismissed the call to jihad, saying it reflects bin Laden's isolation and shows he is trying to remain relevant at a time when his ideology and mission are being challenged.
Bin Laden spoke in a 22-minute audiotape posted on Islamic militant Web sites where al-Qaida usually issues its messages. The 51-year-old al-Qaida leader has been in hiding since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, believed to be living somewhere along the lawless Pakistan-Afghan border.
It was bin Laden's first tape since May and came nearly three weeks after Israel launched the offensive against Hamas that Gaza medical officials say has killed more than 1,000 Palestinians.
He said President-elect Barack Obama has received a "heavy inheritance" from George W. Bush _ two wars and "the collapse of the economy." He predicted that burden will render the U.S. unable to sustain a long fight against the mujahedeen, or holy warriors.
There is "only one strong way to bring the return of Al-Aqsa and Palestine, and that is jihad in the path of God," Bin Laden said, referring to the revered Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. "The duty is to urge people to jihad and to enlist the youth into jihad brigades."
He also appealed for donations to finance the fight, saying the "tithes from any of the great Muslim or Arab traders" would be enough "for jihad on all the fronts."
