What do you think? Is FOX trying to help elect Bush or what?

Do you think this attack will happen?

And if it does what do you think will be the response of our populous?



My opinion. is yes.. no... and if it does I wouldn't want to be a Muslim in this country because the good ole boyz will pull out all the stops...

The video tape was obtained by ABC News and given to the CIA, et al for verification purposes.

I don't think you can say either way if the tape helps or hurts Kerry or GWB.

Some people would say this only strengthens the case that GWB must be doing his job if he has the terrorist so pissed off -- you're safer now with GWB in office.

Others would say this only proves GWB isn't doing his job for just about the same reasons -- you're less safe now with GWB in office.

The way I have it figured, it's a wash as far as turning voters to either candidate. If you were for one of them before this video tape, you probably haven't changed your mind and if you're still undecided at this point -- you gotta be freekin' kiddin' me!

Instead of thinking if this helps or hurts your man, Kerry, you could think about wether or not this is a real threat or not to us Americans. The text of the tape is very chilling. I read it today. There's a pictue of the man they think was in it. He's American. Has close ties to Al Qadea.

Maybe it's just me but my first instinct always has been and always will be the safety of my fellow citizens...not if this helps out my candidate.

Yeah, mine too, but I skipped over that because I don't think it's a specific or credible threat.

I think the tape is one of a bajillion of wackos out there making non-specific threats against the US.

IF the tape said something to the effect of "Hey, US . . . watch what we do to the White House on Monday", that'd be a bit more interesting, but this is nothing more than a blip. (Unless something happens on Monday!)

Seems to be that the Al Qaeda guys have threatened that the skies will rain airplanes for a couple of years now.

Seems to me that they've been threatening America on video on a probably daily basis for years.

Do I think Fox is trying to help Bush? No. I think it may have an effect on voters if they decide to stay away because of these threats. This _may_ help Bush, since Kerry controls the large population centers, i.e., the mst likely targets.

I do not think this attack will happen.

The response of our populace if it does? Seems to me that the threat indicated there would be no response because we'd be too shocked.

I've had a bad feeling for a long time about the terrorists...'93, actually.

Do I think this tape forbodes a significant attack? I couldn't say; I haven't seen the tape. With the juxtapositioning of the tape and the election, it could be that it's real. It could also be some whacked out dingleberry who wants to scare people.

It's one of those wait and see things....which sucks, but is all we can do.

Newsweek was reporting this week that there was a bunch of "chatter" in the last month relating to an attack before the election much like in Spain. The CIA pulled back the warnings when the chatter subsided....then the magazine pointed out that chatter became silent right before 9/11 as well.

As long the attack benefits Kerry it doesn't matter how many Americans lose their lives. Putting a liberal in office is the most important issue. Everything else is secondary.



What????? You must be kidding. Somehow I think in that world of yours that you actually believe a statement like that.

Not my view. This is the liberal mindset.



Give me proof and I will believe you. Otherwise its just garbage. Unless you are a closet liberal and feel that way. That must be how you know, right?

Mindreader now?



Doesn't take a mindreader. Just someone to pay attention to how people respond to a headline.



Well, most people seem to have responded that they think it will help Bush, so I guess your theory is unsupported by the facts.

As do I. But the one to worry about is the container that contains a dirty bomb that makes it into New York Harbor with no fanfare, videotapes or threats.


Yes, I do worry about that. Of course, I've worried about that since '93, too, since I couldn't concieve of the attack the way it happened.

And I suspect it won't be NY harbor, although I could be wrong. AQ has a tendency to return to complete a particular task...much like the USS Cole, WTC, and so on. Because we know of the Millenium plot which targeted LAX, I think perhaps it will be on the west coast. They have "unfinished" business here, and I think we're more likely to be targeted via a harbor because of our huge port then another area.

Its bullshit like the countless other threats that also came to nothing.

Your government finds it so much easier to manipulate you all into behaving the way they want with this climate of fear they've created for you all.

How many more imaginary threats like this will it take before you all wake up and realise what's being done to you?

Well it seems that the FBI and CIA have both authenticated the tape. Now the funny part. ABC still may not air it.

Hmmmmm, wonder why. Wanna know? I'll help you out. Because it would be a huge advantage to Bush...and ABC being as biased as CBS and the others wouldn't want that.

Pretty disgusting. I swear the media today has gone to hell in a handbasket.

Here's a quote from ABC.

"This is not something you just throw out there while people are voting," the ABC source explained.

By "something" they are referring to the truth. Wouldn't want that to get out. Being truthful with the public would be a new development for the media.
