New al Qaeda Tapes Feature U.S. Capitol Under ‘Attack’

Wait…….I’m confused. If you realize, as the above story indicates, that these videos are possibly communications in support of upcoming attacks, then why would you rebroadcast them? Oh, I know! Maybe some terrorist cell someplace lost their internet connection and missed it the forst time.
Here is a bit of reporting for you: One of the goals of a terrorist organization is to call attention to its cause. By re-broadcasting the videos and recordings of these people, you are inadvertently helping to do just that.

Is this really terrorist tapes or yet another made up form of propaganda put out by the Bush administration in order to use fear tactics and thus, get their war.

erm maybe they used english so the people it is meant for ( americans mostly) can read it? Im not sure about the languages thaught in american schools but i don’t think the classes in islamic lanuages are amoung the favourites.

Mansfield sells BOOKS on the subject, not the terrorist videos. She is a well respected counter-terrorism analyst. Get your facts straight.

Wow, I love all of these comments from the “Blame America First” crowd. It is laughable that their FIRST inclination is to blame the evil Bush administration. Was it Bush that brought down the WTC towers?! Was it Bush that started this whole thing?! Oh yeah, the “Blame America First” wackjobs actually believe it WAS Bush that did both of those things. How could I forget? If they really believe the root of all evil is the United States, why don’t they go live in Iran for awhile, or even France for that matter. I guarantee they will be singing a different tune after that!

Phillip, I don’t think, that in 2007, anybody is UNAWARE of the AQ/Salafist cause…everybody is aware of “their cause” by now.

“…Why did the terrorists superimpose ENGLISH headlines in their video? The English writing indicates to me that some western group developed this video to spread disinformation towards Enligsh speaking viewers” …Posted by: Eric | May 22, 2007 7:34:00 PM
There are dozens of different arabic dialects, but only one English language, THE most commonly spoken language on earth (even among the bad guys).

Bring it on! I’m disgusted by both Democrat and Republican congress critters. 2,074 days since WMD said he’d catch 9/11 Conspirator UBL??? Let’s Roll er I mean roll it, what, no the drink cart, roll it. USA! USA! USA!
I look forward to seeing the US Government brought to justice, not by Al Qaeda, but hopefully by the American people. If the cowards ever wake up zzz

Well it’s clear no matter what the ‘truth’ is that the Middle East is way worse off now than prior to the horrendously mis-guided invasion of Iraq.

Apparently AQ is advancing an english speaking preference policy. When they start making the vids in Spanish, I’ll stop buying burritto(e)s.

“Is this really terrorist tapes or yet another made up form of propaganda put out by the Bush administration in order to use fear tactics and thus, get their war”
Bill… It’s all a conspiracy right? Get real… We need to stop screwing around and get really serious here. As far as I’m concerned we aren’t doing enough. We need to go out in the world with full force and clean house.

We pretty much abandoned the war against Al Qaeda in Afghanistan to start an insane war in Iraq. Why haven’t we destroyed Osama and Al Qaeda as the President promised we would.
“We fight them there so we don’t have to fight them here!” Are you kidding?
They don’t have enough lunatics and resources to fight anywhere they want?
I don’t have any level of confidence in the Federal Government to protect us now or in the future. Thank God for the NYC Police Department, at least somebody cares!

Keep your eyes open, your quite friendly neighbor maybe the next cell leader. Don’t thik it can’t happen. It is NOT “it might happen”, BUT, “WHEN”…

Can someone send this article to John Edwards? He seems to think there is no such thing as a War on Terror.

There are millions of Muslims in this Country…most of them speak ONLY english (of sorts) as most of them were born and raised here.
The purpose of terror is to modify the behavior of the target. Terror without communicating to the target what the goal is serves no purpose, hence, ENGLISH.
You see? The purpose is not to kill all of us, it is to convert those who will submit, and kill the rest.

Get out of Iraq like Democrats advocate and it plays into bin Laden’s manifesto of then attacking America in America.
This is well known knowledge that attacks are in the process in Europe and America with plans of 200,000 dead.
It does not appear to be “nuclear”, but the blast is sending a message it is going to be widespread and WMD related in Washington.
It is the propaganda they will to have in attacking US primary interests. They are coming and from Cindy Sheehan to Democrats in Congress they are to blame for this as Bush wanted to keep them fighting in Iraq.

Maybe it isn’t such a bad idea, considering the garbage that currently is passing for our Senators and Congressmen.
They will be the first to tell you that there is no islamic threat out there. Sorry, I forgot Edwards isn’t in the Senate any longer…must have been Durban I’m thinking of.

Just another example of how the “War on Terror” is nothing but a “bumper sticker” slogan.

Hey, let’s open ALL the borders and let everyone in? Why be only concerned about Mexico. What’s the difference…an illegal is an illegal whether from Mexico or the Middle East. Since a lot of people have sympathy for the Mexican illegals let’s let them all in. The Al Qaeda could just come on in. Wait…you’re saying no. Well, if you let the Mexicans in, why not the others?
Illegals have all ready murdered and raped some of our own and that includes killing a police officer.

Truth is, when it comes to Iraq and the war on Terrorism, the cure is worse than the disease. Sure, terrorism and the wanton killing of innocent people is bad. But war is a blunt instrument, and the U.S.-led coalition has killed as many, if not more, innocent people than terrorism. The long-term ramifications of that are: the unjust deaths of tens of thousands of innocent civilians; increased hatred of the U.S. for generations to come; poverty, disease, and the destruction of the Iraqi economy and infrastrucrue; the chiseling away of basic freedoms instituted by our founding fathers; human rights violations in the form of torture and lack of due process for innocent people; the gutting of truth and governance; the loss of trust in our government; fanning unnecessary fears in the minds of ordinary Americans which then is exploited by war profiteers to further enrich the gluttonous, privileged oligarchy of this country; misdirected Defense Department and contractor spending, funds which could otherwise be invested in American schools and health care. The list is endless. We should be worried that America is sowing the seeds of its own destruction. It happened in the former Soviet Union. Who’s to say it can’t happen elsewhere?

I just want to say that the reason why they hate this evil government is because this government does wrong. Like they did to us here in the united states when they took our child away without any reason and they violated our rights. I said this before, and I’ll say it again. Its not al-qaeda and their leaders the enemy, Its this satanic evil american government is our enemy. And the sooner that the american people realize this, the better off you be. I’m telling you the truth. If this government would stop committing their evil crimes, and you would see the big difference in how people would act.

Phillip Lomblo has hit the nail right on the head and I couldn’t agree with him more. Everytime one of the, so called “NEWS” programs, draws attention to terrorist actions, they play right into the hands of Al Qaeda. It is exactly what the terrorists want and need for their cause the be successful. Sadly, for the networks its all about money, and they don’t seem to give a damn if their actions put more America lives in danger. There is a way to get their attention though. Boycott the networks and write to their sponsors letting them know how you feel about “NEWS” networks making profit off of terrorism.
Semper Fi
GunnyS

With 70% of our own kids graduating from high school (national average) they probably superimposed it in english to hide it from us. With the terrorist threat of nuclear bombs I hope I am sitting on top of the sun hot fireball…….I’d hate to go to Cuba for proper medical treatment. Maybe China will manufacture us a way out ,i know we can’t, the bush administration would have to pay the middle class more than .80 cents a week for something like that.

America attacked itself on 9/11 and blamed it on Iraq because America is running out of oil. America needs Irans oil and to breaks OPECs control of the world economy and to stop oil being traded in Euros instead of dollars.

I’ll bet that those congressional travel planners are going to be busy..

Another spate of internet rants claiming that politics and/or violence will help solve our many emerging problems.
The only solution is a spiritual one, and our main weapon against the widespread evil in the world is Prayer.

You’re not thinking.
Peak Oil person.
Okay. Clearly you’re something other than american.
Before you call me dumb.
Consider this.
OIL IS NOT GAS.
It has to be processed and refined.

I would like to end this with an endorsement for Ron Paul, ABC is a 527, right?
Peace

gasoline comes directly from a barrel of oil. without oil there is no gasoline. yes it has to be refined, but it still comes from an oil barrel. the world is running out of oil. you need to do some research and read a few books. i recommend authors F.W Engdahl, michael klare or william clark.

Would someone please forward this to John Edwards or his campaign team?
He seems to think that there is not a war on terror.
It looks like Al-Qaeda believes otherwise.
I would hate for the United States to be blind-sided by an enemy that it does not believe exists.

Absolutely amazing to see how many people would rather believe that the ultimate evil on this earth is the US Government. So much so, that they DEFEND terrorism by accusing everything on the Bush administration. You don’t understand. It doesn’t matter whether or not you like president Bush or not, the WILL KILL you if they have the chance. If you aren’t one of them, you are a target, liberal, conservative or otherwise. The difference is, the conservatives want to stop them, the liberals want to satisfy them. Wake up, world! Islamic Fundamentalists historically attack and kill anyone that is not of their faith, for a thousand years. This has nothing to do with the US, it’s who they are.

and I know I spelled pseudo wrong

I read the posts here and I find that I do understand those folks that seem to think this is some kind of scare tactic cooked up by George Bush… here called the “Blame America” crowd. Yes, I do understand the thoughts of that crowd… it’s called “mental illness”. Folks, wake up… there really are people out there that want to KILL you and they use tactics called TERROR.

wasn’t it abcnews online that said there was an immenent attack planned on american interests in germany about two weeks ago and then immediately retracted the story? i predict this story will be gone within an hour.

Nobody is defending terrorism by beliveing the the US governmnet is at fault…. Other than to say US Government inept kleptocracy can’t win the war even if that was the goal (which it is not)

I just cannot believe what I’m reading! Any person with a passing knowledge of Islam knows that their goal is world domination/subjugation of ALL non-muslims; either convert or die…it’s that simple. This goal is codified in the Quran. It is their religion! Remember the Ottoman Empire. Two books worth reading is “The Looming Tower” and “America Alone”

Thanks Mike.
Remember folks.
They call all non muslims “Infidels”

Hmmm…Now I’m beginning to believe that the “terrorists” are really on the side of the American public.
Destroying the capitol would be a very good thing for America, assuming it was fully occupied at the time.
We need to rid ourselves of the treasonous traitors that are in power in the U.S. government, who do nothing but kowtow to Israel and destroy traditional American interests.

Read chapter 21 of “I.T. Wars” (you can look it up on Amazon).

What Mike said is correct: Al Qaeda’s goal is world domination period. Most people want to avoid this truth. Why? Because it assumes that there are people that are evil. And, if this assumption is correct, we all have the capacity to do evil. And we all do! A lot of people simply cannot handle this fact. Why again? Because that would make people responsible for their own behavior.
People want to go around believing that they can do what they want when they want without consequences. This is impossible. True freedom is knowing what is truly true and being able to follow that truth.

If there’s no link to bin-Laden in Iraq, why then, is there a subordinate terrorist group called AL QAEDA IN IRAQ? What’s in a name, right? Idiots.
And ROFL on Edwards for thinking the GWOT isn’t real and that global warming is. What a tool.

Well, if you remember it was learned after 9/11, that United 93 was aiming for the U.S.Capitol and it was stopped by the brave passengers on board.
Unfinished job, just like the WTC in 1993.
It seems that these whacko’s get focused in on a target and if they cant get it, WILL try again. The time limit between events is close. WTC bombing 1993 – 2001
now its 2001 – 2007..6 years.
They may try again, but i dont believe it will be a passenger jet. They could use a single-engine or small aircraft and load it up with big-time explosives, or worst yet, a dirty bomb.

To M. Mikhailovich: Hear, hear!
Long live Serbia.

Well well well, this is certainly interesting, isn’t it?
Al Qaida attacking the U.S.? Did that already happen once this decade…with a thwarted plot to fly a plane in the Capitol?
Yeah, that’s right, it was called 9/11, that HUGE event that people from ABC, I’m sure, would love to forget.
I guess it all doesn’t matter, though, considering one of the Democrat’s top tier candidates for 2008, John Edwards, today decried the War on Terror America is currently fighting as a “bumper sticker slogan” used by the Bush administration, and not a real threat.
Is there any doubt that if someone like John Edwards were to win the White House, the scenes this video portrays would become a starkly grim reality?
If people are unable to realize the threat that terrorism posses for this nation, the next catastrophy will make 9/11 mild by comparison.

it’s in english because not all of al qaeda and those who are sympathizers are english speakers.

Yes PSK277!
We are still waiting for a statement from that Rock of Gibraltar when it comes to National Security…John Edwards.
Please Mr. Edwards, explain this to us after your comments today.
Is it any wonder America knows the Democrats and the left are weak on defense.

the timeframe june 6th through 11th will be critical for any USA or mid east gulf terror attacks,it is the anniversary period of the uss liberty attacks to foment a world war by syria russia and egypt dureing the six day war. it is also the anniversary of the invasion of normandy beachhead by the allies.
the euro-union,with the islamo-fascists as their lackeys or dupes,would love to settle the score for two world war losses(ww-1,and ww-2)dureing these dates.
let the games begin starting with memorial day things will really heat up if my guess is correct.

Bush said, “I hear you, the American people hear you, and the people who did this will be hearing from you soon.” He did and they had. Those of you who don’t like us invading Iraq, but think we should invade a Nuclear armed Pakistan to get OBL are beyond stupid. And please, no “We should have got him at Tora Bora” BS. If we had, you would have cried about how many men we wasted doing it, and how we really only needed to destroy his organization.

How can this be?
John Edwards just told us today that the “War on Terror” was a clever ruse by the neocons to justify torture and war.
Move along, there’s nothing to see here.

Crazy scary article… but I do agree it looks kind of fake… and I mean fake as in not sure the terrorists created it.

The current excuse for an Immigration Bill aside, I’m so thankful we have George Bush for a President. He is living proof that the American people are neither stupid nor ignorant to the problems facing our country vis-a-vis radical islam.

We cannot win in Iraq or defeat the terrorists until we unleash the full fury of our military. Did we learn nothing from the Vietnam fiasco? No army in the history of the world has ever won a war by fighting w/ one arm tied behind their backs. Patton must be rolling over in his grave! As for the conspiracy theory crowd, get a grip!

tim b. only a dem could ask for unity while blaming the reps

Senator Reid has surrendered to Al Quaida. We should feel safe now. Relax Washington the Democrats will protect you.

so as of recent John Edwards says there is no war on terror? is anyone serious about voting for this clown?

yawn

Do we really want a Global Islamic government? One that allows honor killings and the mistreatment of women? Are we really that stupid? Are we willing to revise all the work that has been done to bring some sort of livable peace to the world? Judging by the comments I have read here, YES YOU DO! Just pack your bags and move over there!

Wow Dell, aparently ABC doesn’t appreciate our commentary. It’s been nice not chatting with you :^).

Sadly, this is obviously a false flag operation lead in.
Complete bullocks, but when ‘something happens,’ we’re to “oh so deeply know with conviction” that it was indeed the bad guys.
How dumb do the perps think the American people are? Well, don’t answer that, since only a small portion have caught on to what’s been going on the past couple decades, worsened the past 6+ years.

Eric -
You guys don’t actually vote do you?
Please tell me you don’t.

How long will Brian Ross continue to commit treasonist acts, against our country, by continually broadcasting (from leaks) what our plans are regarding non-sllied countries. Good reporting is not printing info that a reliable unnamed Source (i.e. current gov’t employee & Clinton holdover) told you on onthe sly. How about standing behind our country (USA- remember) for once, or better yet, try & get yourself enbedded in the not so friendly parts of Iraq………………..

I’m SOOO stupid..I forgot about the crusades!

I don’t know what to believe in the news anymore. But I do know that I don’t think for even one second if Al Qaeda plans to attack us – they will. And will succeed.
Short of complete LUCK – I have zero faith the Bush administration or the various Intelligence departments are working any better at communication and connecting the dots that they were pre 9/11.

Calm down people. It turns out it was NOT an AL Qaeda propaganda video, but actually a John Edwards campaign commercial. Easy mistake.

For all of those that state this is some type of propaganda conjured up by the Bush Admin, I want to congratulate you! Thanks for playing into the hands of our enemies. The terrorist want nothing more than for us to turn on ourselves!

You’d have to be a gullible fool to fall for this crap. The only ones benefiting from the release of these bogus and laughable videos is the government and intelligence agencies, which want to keep the dumbed-down public in a state of chronic fear so they can carry out their agenda with minimal dissent, as well as increase support for their bogus “War on Terror”. This video could have been put out by any idiot, yet the establishment liars tell us it’s al-CIAda, because they want us fearful over terrorist bogeymen.

Dave..stop it..you make too much sense…This is a place for knee-jerk reactionaries and partisan polemic.
Rob..you’re forgetting the latest. A party who feasts on their OWN because he dares to tell the truth.
Ron Paul is pretty much the last chance to get our democracy back without a revolution.

OMG! This is exactly why we need to get our troops out of Irak and Afganistan. If we leave them alone, they won’t need to retaliate against us!

People, We aren’t liberals or neo fake conservatives. We are Americans, and the Republic is dead. I’d stock up on canned goods and shot guns for martial law, enforced not by the National Guard but by Blackwater Mercaneries.Wake Up people, this isn’t left right, blue or red, but bruised bloody purple. Wake up! Welcome to the Civil War in the US Homeland. Part of the Problem. Regards.

Guess that is the end of it.
Guess what “We Win”.
America the Beautifull.
Good day!
bobkit

Hey Chuckle Heads , who continue to believe this NeoCON Administration and their utter BS..about pre empting this war.
Explain this: 1.)WHY didn’t Bush shut down the borders 9-12-01?
2.) WHY are we building the largest EMBAsSY /Base in Iraq…in the world? If Bush wasn’t lying like a serpent when he said” we don’t want to occupy Iraq”…what a puke! Wake up and smell the Neocon PNAC Scum.

Again, anyone who believes this video was actually produced by Al Qaeda has no brain to speak of. This is a disinformation video created by a western intelligence agency.

Break out the tinfoil beanies!!!

to all it does concern:
If you will notice,the price of diesle fuel has gone up disproportionately in the last several weeks to the prices of unleaded regular!
In the pats two or three years the price of deisle fuels for the trucking and rail industries ran 30 to 40 cents a gallon above the regular unleaded fuels.
what would be the reason for this sudden twist? It is my good sense that the world bodies and us administration saw that this would now be a good idea in light in the drop off in retail sales associated with people trying to save money so they could get to work(most of us are commuters after all)as well as saveing the deliverers of all our products to the market a fair amount.IT WOULD HAVE BEEN JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE MOST OF THE MAJOR TRANSPORTATION LINKS AND THEIR UNIONS WENT ON STRIKE BECAUSE OF THE UNFAIR PRICE SHIFTING(GOUGEING)
I had written of this discrepancy and let it be known what was comeing many months ago…..now the change. this buys the administration a little more time and credibility until pres. bush leaves office,maybe?
so guess who has to pay for all this manipulation in search of a new war in middle east and manipulations of the various economies? well,we,the middle class working people do!
my guess is that gas prices will begin to go down by end of july so that the vacation related industries do not suffer too much because of people cutting back thier vacations,if my theories are correct(probably by 25 cents a gallon or so>
AND PEOPLE WILL THANK THE LORD AND PRES. BUSH AND THINK THEY ARE GETTING A BIG BREAK AS THE MIDDLE EAST WARS ARE STEPPED UP…..TRAGEDY ENSUES,AND we are driveing right into the arms of world war three!
charles h buchanan 111

Ok – i have read all the posts on here and there are some GREAT points and some seriously disillusioned people. The Tape:
The tape with the English text is a good sign that Al Qaeda DID NOT produce the tape! Plain and simply put – If your trying to promote cells to activate then why post it in English so almost 75% of the GLOBE can read it!!! Cells operate best by anonymity, no one knowing who or what they do till it has happened. Not broadcasting internet videos (which I’ve seen much better ones on Youtube.com made in some dudes basement on a 1985 DOS system.) Al Qaeda is funded by Iran and Saudi Arabia, *pist* THE RICHEST COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD!!!! they can afford a laptop from Best Buy.
Second: The general attitude of Americans.
As several people posted here; TAKE A DAMN HISTORY CLASS!!! When we (Americans) decided to break away from England was it a nice break up???? Did we just shake hands and go about our business? NO IT WAS CALLED THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR!!!! Oh and by the way the French helped out BIG TIME! (don’t get me wrong, i am a honesty to God American, i hate the Frenchies just as much as the next American) But we needed help to over throw the superpower at the time. IF we as a general public keep making “kill them all” or “Back out it’s there problem” we are creating another generation of natural born killers who will hate America and Western Culture. The Iraqi people MUST stand up for themselves and take the fight to the insurgents. Think about this – Al Qaeda and corresponding groups are using kids as delivery systems for bombs. KIDS PEOPLE!! And you want to let them do this? Or at least say it isn’t our problem – WHAT ABOUT THE JEWS IN WW2??!!! NOT OUR PROBLEM?! Come on now, every now and then people, countries, cities (New Orleans) need help getting back on there feet. Why are we so judgmental when it isn’t us? Is it because we have lost 3,000+ soldiers? Do you know how many died when we dropped the A-bomb on Nagasaki? or Hiroshima? 200,000+ in Nagasaki, 125,000+ Hiroshima. (Fall out included)
So the point here is; take a look at the way things work. Arabic speaking people won’t write you a letter in English, BUSH has NEVER told the truth (except one time when he admitted he didn’t have a sophisticated vocabulary, that is SO TRUE!) Take another point on this fact – He is watching your every move, hid it from the rest of the government, when they found out and told him to stop and federally investigated him, what was his response? “No, i will not stop keeping the American people safe.” Now safe to me is a police office who is trained well keeping a beat clean and safe. His idea is keeping tabs.
And in the big scheme of things we need to finish what we started. But keep Bush and ANY or his relatives out of ANY office, even if it is an Office Max, Office Depot, hell any office supply store just in case.
Don’t become angry the weak, that is who the strong should help. Don’t get pissed when they can’t see the other side, this is why they are weak. This is why the strong show them.

I Love Valerie’s comments
Is this really terrorist tapes or yet another made up form of propaganda put out by the Bush administration in order to use fear tactics and thus, get their war.
No Val ..there are no terrorist wanting to blow you and your family to pieces..It’s ALL Bush playing on your fears. I guess if I only tried to understand Islam more I wouldnt have had to see all those body parts all over the streets in NY City on 9/11 and my cousin wouldn’t have to had seen a lady who jumped that day splatter all over the street pole she hit before her body reached the street. Eventhough Osama and co tell you right to your face what they intend to do just keep on believeing what THEY tell you to believe and all will be ok .

Wrong, wrong, wrong! Everyone knows al Qaeda isn’t in Iraq, the Democrats say so! And even if they are in Iraq, it is because Bush’s war attracted them there. We would much rather have them over here attacking our capitol, killing our innocents, than in Iraq fighting our military! Lying Republicans. Stupid Bush.

Ah..but if we hadn’t been messing with their governments, they’d still be killing EACH OTHER and not worrying about us. A war that goes on forever between two sides, neither of which are the US, is fine by me. If they can’t figure out their problems without blowing each other up, that’s their problem…unfortunately, being the world policeman has made it our problem.
“America” isn’t at fault here. It never was. It’s exactly like Ron Paul is saying. WE didn’t ask to be attacked, but the things done in our name makes US the enemy. The CIA has destroyed countries and deposed governments for just a LITTLE longer than we’ve had problems with terrorism.
I know it’s hard when you are dealing with emotion based politics, something Bush and company totally have down pat, but if you approach things SCIENTIFICALLY and RATIONALLY, you will see that every effect is precipitated by a cause.
It’s no accident that every country the CIA has messed with has either been entrenched in a war against us or is currently an enemy.
YOU CAN’T DO SOMETHING ON AN INTERNATIONAL SCALE WITHOUT SOME KIND OF REPRECUSSIONS. The middle east is, obviously, full of crazies. So, again, like the wise Dr. Paul said…you get stung by a wasp and you are going to go out smacking wasp nests all over the place? You’re likely to get stung again.
We know where Bin Laden is…we created him and his ilk…Let’s go clean up our mess…Pakistan may have nukes, but nothing that can hit us. Go in there, use the full force of the american military, pull out bin laden dead or alive, and then make an announcement that if you want us in your country, we’ll stay, if not, good luck to ya.
Let them go back to killing themselves the way they were doing in the pre-CIA days.
You’re a fool if you think 6 decades of CIA involvement didn’t increase the amount of enemies that we have the world significantly.
1953 – Democratically elected leader of Iran (yes, Iran was once a democracy) Mohammed Mosadegh was deposed in a coup proposed by Britain (you see, they were afraid Iran was going to nationalize their oil fields and take control of the natural resource that was rightfully theirs), and assisted by the CIA.
“For nine hours, the pro-shah army, utilizing American-style military strategy and logistics, battled pro-Mossadeq demonstrators. At least 300 people died. By nightfall, the Mossadeq partisans had drawn into a tight cordon around the premier’s palace… Forty-eight hours later he was arrested. The brief euphoric moment when the followers of Mossadeq believed that he held Iran’s destiny in his hands evaporated.”
Result – Reinstatement of a dictatorship.
1963 – The CIA assisted in deposing Abd al-Karim Qassim after he seized power via military coup d’etat. Right on…a victory for our guys…at least he was a dictator.
Result – Installation of one Sadaam Hussein.
1979 – The us begins lending support to anti-soviet forces in Afghanistan. The support is continually ramped up to the point of bringing in CIA officers to assist and train the local mujahadeen warriors. This plan is greatly expanded under Reagan.
Result – Bin Laden and his Lieutenants receive valuable training that they have refined and honed to this day, only to turn against a new enemy. Us.
Anyone seeing a pattern here? Blowback is a fact. We did not have these problems prior to getting involved in these governments. Prior to that, we had a relatively non-interventionist philosophy, WW1 and 2 not withstanding.
In other words, paraphrasing the words of Ron Paul, they weren’t coming over here UNTIL we started going over there.
Unfortunately our country’s attention span has become shorter and shorter, evidenced by the success of programming (ever wonder why they call it that?) such as American Idol and Foxnews. Foxnews (as are the rest of the cable news and network news outlets on BOTH sides of the donkey/elephant paradigm) are the masters of news of the now, but they never go back into the history of things.
They, like many of you, are knee-jerk reactionaries. They live only in the now and are so wrapped up in what wrongs were done to us, that they failed to look back at what caused those wrongs.
When you were a child, did you burn your hand on the stove, throw a tantrum, and hate stoves from then on? Probably, but you were just a child…you people don’t have that excuse now.
Now you’re grown up and you are at least smart enough to know that hey, when that dial is turned, and the coils are red, that stove is dangerous and can burn me, and if you burn yourself as an adult, you generally curse yourself for not being more careful. You don’t go on a tirade against all manner of ovens. You understand cause and effect.
It’s time we be a grown up enough country to admit the mistakes of those who came before us. It’s time to realize that the foreign policy that we’ve been pursuing since the end of the cold war is NOT a sane one and has done nothing but bring this heap of horrors to our doorstep.
We weren’t even on the islamic radar until the CIA started bringing down governments.
Are you CIA? No..neither am I. Is the CIA an american organization? Yes, it is. By claiming the CIA, a secret organization run by a government, supposedly of the people, by the people, and for the people, that thrives on keeping secrets from the people it is supposedly of, by, and for, is responsible for the state we find ourselves today is not being anti american.
We do not have a pledge to the CIA. It’s not a CIA flag that is flown on every american military base in the world and reeled up the flagpole with reveille blaring in the background.
Saying that the CIA was wrong, and finding the strength as a country to FIX things rather than do the same old thing that never works is not the same thing as blaming America. And it’s quite the opposite of hating America.
Hating America is refusing to see any of it’s wrongs and a lack of concern of how our actions impact others which in turn impact back upon us. Unless of course you’re still just a child and you’re going to go kick some oven ass.
Wake up folks. Ron Paul is right. There is a better way. We just have to be brave enough to choose it.
REPOSTED DUE TO DELETION. Keep at it ABC…I’m here till the Lost finale.

I want to know who pressed the number one button while the Al Qaeda tape was playing. I read English text on the video. Al Qaeda really doesn’t know America all that well cause we are losing our country to spanish. Maybe while the tape is running if you press the SAP button it is in Spanish. We all know Al Qaeda are sneeking into our country from the southern boarder because we want to form mexamericanada.

Remember in the histories of WWI and WWII, there were American posters depicting the Japanese and Germans in a ‘negative light’, in order to put a face on our enemies. This motivated public support to defeat these enemies.
In the politically correct society we exist in today, it would be ‘insensitive’ to depict the Islamo-fascists in a negative light, i.e. characterizations of them blowing up innocents or beheading victims.
Look what the reaction was to an editorial cartoon in Denmark depicting Mohammed.
And yet our so-called “news media” plays right into the hands of our enemies, disseminating THEIR propaganda, but doing little to further the cause of our nation’s efforts to quell our enemies.
Does anyone smell a conspiracy here? Maybe a military coup in Washington would clean up the mess we have today!

Do you think most americans would dance in the street if Congress was destroyed ?

We people of the Western world need to realize that our political correct-ness is going to kill us all. We must have some sense when it comes to Muslims and terrorists. I am not saying that all Muslims are terrorists, but the United States and Europe are letting this Arab invasion go on. Did you know that in some parts of Europe, the teaching of the Holocaust is being eliminated because of a certain religious group that does not believe it ever happened? I’m sorry, but that is absolutely insane.
People being “open-minded” is not going to stop terrorists, or make them feel bad about blowing us all up.

goodnight!
We Win!

The lack of simple logic and extreme gullibility in today’s youth is amazing e.g., those who state that the CIA, the Bushes or some nefarious American group created the video rather than Al Qaeda. Let’s think about that about one second. What would stop Al Qaeda from creating their own video rebutting that one and showing on Al Jezzera etc.? Absolutely nothing. Lack of logic is a disease in this country and the news media like ABC doesn’t help. I only came to this site because this appeared on Drudge which is probably more reputable than the entire ABC, CNN, NBC and CBS so-called journalist crews. You can’t trust that you get all the facts from any of them. Don’t bother responding because I won’t be back here.

Just another example of Islam, the religion of “peace.” The leftist media and their Islamic brothers just don’t get it. Soon enough, they will. Another American Civil war anyone?

what ia matter with some of people,white race is only 18% of the populatin and they hate us

All you conspiracy people, and American haters, why are you here at all anyway? If you’re going to hate the country you live in, why don’t you leave this country and go somewhere else. Oh I know, this is the best country in the world, and if you portrayed you ideas anywhere else, they would cut you head off. You people scare me more than the terrorist. Sad, very, very sad you all are.

Clearly, many people have a huge interest in our safety as seen by the above posts. Most of the words all of you are typing won’t matter on this website. Not every person who reads this short article is going to go through all of your posts. Make a real difference and use your words elsewhere or don’t even use words and use action instead to fight evil wherever it arises. Out of many, we can be of one voice. God Bless America. Hopefully my words aren’t overlooked like the rest…

The politics of fear. Gotta love it. Why would a terrorist group tip their hand if they really had the capability to do this? They’ll eventually carry through with their threats…and I’m not talking about al Qaeda. Watch and see. Learn if you will. Money makes the world go round and don’t ever forget it.

Why did you delete my post. Was it because I said Liberals are to dumb to know they are helping the Terrorist or because I said we must vote all Liberals out of Washington. Please explain

I see that you all are skeptical because English is superimposed on this video. Granted. It would make this doubtable. But, you see, the thing is, this video is a little thing we call in English: PROPAGANDA. Do you think that the German spy network left propaganda papers lying around in allied countries in German?? Of course not. Do you think that Tokyo Rose conducted here propaganda radio shows in Japanese? Do you think Lord Haw-Haw did his in German? Of course not. And the citizenry did not accuse the government of planting it.
Furthermore, give the CIA some credit. If they wanted to deceive us in the way you mean, then they wouldn’t have made it in English. Which brings me to my last point: it could have been TRANSLATED. You see, bi-lingual people do that sort of thing.
You people are obviously the products of public school education.

It is sad, so many wish to blame the USA!
When stationed in Morocco with the Air Force in 1957/58, the very same people who brought down the towers, hit Washington and thank heavens failed, when some real USA people fought back, whom I thought were friends. Told me, when I left, the next time they see me, they might have to kill me, because after a year, deeply studying their Religion I did not convert.
You naysayers, when you turn the other cheek and blame the USA, when your eyes turn red from your blood and the last thing your mind sees, is your ankles, tough! Your deserve it, Thank God, my kids did not reproduce to see what you will wrought, in the end.
Forget God Save you, for you will not be saved or your children will not be saved, for those people are not playing a political game, they are playing for real!
Sorry, no warning, nothing but truth of what they wish for you. There were less Nazi or Communists in Russia that wished you what they do and in due time, unless you change, they will get you. However, make certain you and your children and grandchildren know that you are the one, who placed them where they will be, when the Sword Of Allah, does what it has promised to do!

Democrat = Communist
Liberal = Communist
Need I say more?
Fight for Right!

Do any of you realize that our “National Debt” is owed to a private bank owned by private individuals. The federal reserve is a private institution and we owe them trillions! Never forget the golden rule: He who has the gold, makes the rules.

I think clearly these people are just misunderstood. I think if they just sit around a campfire with Anglenia Jolie and Rosie O’Donnell and listen to them about charity and lesbianism then they’ll surely stop wanting to cut our heads off.

Heeeeeeyyy there…Leave drudge outta this, he is a great newsman.

Victoria and Matt sitting in a tree…

There it is, a true admission. When one challenges your tyranny you quote how powerful your military is. No matter where your crusader legions go, innocent people are killed needlessly. I agree with the Democrats that Amerika needs a new foreign policy. And stop exporting your filthy culture to the rest of the world- it is despised.

I am sad to be part of a generation to that knows nothing of sacrifice. I hold those who fight in Iraq and Afghanistan and have died there in great honor. They sacrifice much so that the rest of us can sit around and bit*h back here at home. Even I’m old enough to understand that to take Iwo Jima, about 6,800 soldiers were killed and more than 18,000 were wounded…in only 5 days. We’ve been in Iraq for, I believe, 1524 days and have 3425 confirmed casualties and 24,314 wounded. We’d have to be in Iraq for a total of 8 years with the current death rate to lose as many soldiers as we did on Jima in 5 days.
I am sad that many of those older than myself (30 yrs) failed to learn it during their time. With no intent of minimizing the value of our soldiers’ lives, this is a war and war comes with both a cost…and a reward. Since, in this case, the reward is our Freedom, shouldn’t we let those soldiers do their job to fight and die for our rights? It’s just amazing to me that so many people in America today will cram “their rights” down your throat, but have absolutely no concept of the cost at which those rights were secured. Is it not the rich who unlearn the value of money? Maybe we have too many rights…or just too many who would abuse them for selfish cause.
I am sad to be part of an America that does not have faith in itself, a sign that too few of us have Faith in anything anymore…including ourselves. Too little self-respect in our own lives seemingly leads us to be incapable of respecting the government which, however tainted, exists solely for our betterment and benefit. War is part of that process, and I support our fighting for those causes.
I am sad to be an American only because of my countrymen who hate America. Hath the pride of the fool no limit?

right on Peace Wot

A few points to ponder…
1) Apparently the Iraqi population does not have the strength / will / guts / … to create and maintain a representative form of government. Is this OUR problem??? I have nothing against killing the ones in a position to threaten us, but the rest can duke it out as they see fit in my book.
2) Perhaps, just perhaps Bush and those lumped into the “neo cons” group, are simply people who don’t have all the answers and can even make mistakes. Does that qualify them as evil? Last I heard, they were motivated by and driven to work for the ideals embodied by “western civilization”. Granted they are working for goals not shared by Islamists nor leftists – doesn’t sound like a mortal enemies to me.
3) The oft spoken thought that “big oil” is behind and benefiting from the unrest in the Middle East is mind boggling in it’s naivity. The crude is easier / cheaper to get in the absence of unrest – simple truth. And by the way, what’s so bad about getting fuel for our economy? Am I missing something?
4) Anyone who thinks we can ignore the Islamic world is patently dillusional. Their goal is now and will always be domination – by death (ours) or subjugation. Yes there have been excesses in Christianity and other religions, but non other has come to institutionalize terror in the name of God as Islam has. Apologists have sugar coated their history – perhaps it’s time to go sugar free?
5) China and Russia are both playing the Islamic card against us now, but both face an increasingly powerful Islamic threat themselves. Where will the lead?? I don’t doubt that either will eventually “nuke” the Islamic threat, but then neither of their forms of government have much appeal vis a vis western (other than leftist) values.
More than enough for now. Best wishes to those willing to fight for western values.

listen you buffoons, i just filled up my car and paid $70 dollars. So, quit whining about this other stuff. Lower the price of gas, or pretty soon, all of you will be unemployed sitting at home blabbing on this blog.

The only solution to your current threat is to treat the great religion of Islam with respect, and to respect the wishes of the oppressed peoples around the world (Palestinians, Chechans). You need not convert persay, The Prophet (Peace be upon him) allowed for other faiths in Allah to exist peacefully with Muslims for many years. This talk of continued violence only begets more violence, and that is shown in the ‘terrorist’ video clip.

Joe,
So you are saying that the amount of money that it took to fill up your gas tank is more important than our Islamic terroist threat? YOU need to get your priorities straight. If you are dead from a terroist attack, will it really matter if gas prices are high??? NO it will not.

We have plenty of our own!

Infidel is an english term. No one speaking Arabic is calling you or anyone else this term. If fact, all the words thrown around in the media like terrorist, infidel, martyr etc are all english words. they are used by english speakers to other english speakers. do any of you even who what, if any translation, there is of these words in arabic???

Mr. Greek, the appropriate term in English is kafir, but the word infidel is understood by Americans and can convince them of their need to reform their behavior.

These people who think this is all just a “conspiracy” trumped up by the Bush Admin. they really got their “head” up some where.
Think back to 911, it happened 8 months into the Bush presidency, all of this hatred against the US and its allies goes back to at least the Clinton Admin. and even way before that. People ‘wake up’ before it’s too late, quit blaming your country and your President. Bush might be far from perfect, but can you imagine if Gore or Clinton was in charge during 911. We would all be lucky to be here right now.
Face it the World is ‘screwed up’ and no one person or one country can fix it!

Ann: your vocabulary for “them” is both varied, vivid and certainly visual. It feels good to spew hate filled slurs sitting behind a computer, typing away, doesn’t it? Please, keep it up. The more people like you spew this sort of language out for others to read, the more we all realize that your mentality will be the end of us all, both Arab and non-Arab, black and white, Jew and Gentile. Lord Jesus taught us to live and treat other like other brothers. I assume you are a Christian, Ann. Is this how Jesus would talk? Walk in the path of the Lord.

Greek. Quit posing as a Christian. It is obvious that your condescending way of speaking is not “Christ-like” You sound like a liberal professor talking down to his students.

Average Girl, you are probably Ann under a new name. Regarless, our Lord God Jesus has clearly stated in the holy Bible, how HE expects us to live and conduct ourselves with our fellow brothers and sisters. The hatred spewed by slurs in not Christ-like. Christ is Love.

No, I am not Ann but I couldn’t agree with her more. God is Love. But he does not expect us do nothing to protect ourselves from these crazy Muslims. They want to kill all Christians and everyone else who is not a Muslim. Love THAT……….

Jihadi will be praying for death. Death of who? Hmmmm….I wonder….

Too much hate on this blog. Our Lord Jesus Christ said clearly in the Bible to serve the poor. Our Supreme God Lord Jesus Christ incarnated as a Middle Eastern himself. Do not take this lightly. The Middle Eastern are a special people, for our own Lord God CHOSE to incarnate there amongst them. Remember, our Lord God Jesus did not come down to Earth from Heaven as a resident of Ireland, Germany, Poland, Russia, China, Australia or any other place. Only as a Middle Eastern. So, he loves the Middle Eastern the most and so should we. Read the HOLY BIBLE, WORD OF GOD.

WOW! So, let me get this straight, you are telling me that Jesus played favorites amongst the people? Wow! I thought I was his favorite!

Good night. He walks with us all.

Jdweymouth: you are wrong! Jesus told me so. I was just talking to him last weekend. Jesus (my gardner, as I mentioned earlier) is apparently a great biblical scholar as well.
Cliff: you too are wrong. Biblical Christianity is not supernatural. The movie, GHOST-BUSTERS was supernatural.

The Greek is misrepresenting our Faith.

Greek, go settle down with a Michael Moore book and go to bed.

“Would you rather be safe than sorry, or take a chance and loose loved ones like I did?” -Al on 4/23 @ 4:16
Dear Al,
Very sorry for your loss. My condolences.
Your question is direct and to the core of the matter. It’s a simple question, And a simple answer is all that is needed. We have to do what it takes. Sitting still will give more time for terrorists to refocus.
I’ve read thousands of comments on the legitimacy of the war, and read quite a few books too. I’ve listened to lefties and righties on the issue. But the truth is the President did something. Maybe he didn’t do it in a very intelligent way. However, maybe we’ll learn down the road that there was a very critical and highly classified reason to get there ASAP. Few of us will know anytime soon.
In the mean time, anyone that claims they wouldn’t have done “anything it takes” to protect a loved one from a second disaster, let alone a first one, they are liars. They are lying outwardly and inwardly.
Unfortunately answering your question for most of us requires the ability to look at things in a perspective other than your own. A rare talent these days.
Al, I’ll bet you have a lot more perspective for this fight that few here will ever have.
We need to work smarter not harder.
Good luck
BTW I’m neither republican nor democrat. But as yet I haven’t seen any real solutions from the democratic side. Anyone can “quit”. The trick is not getting your butt handed to you as you leave plus not get followed back to your own home and killed.

James, your comment above is assenine. How the #$% are you ride you bicycle 29 miles every morning. That’s my commute one way. Can you even imagine riding around for 60 miles a day in commute. Who the hell is going to work with that much bicycle riding around. Think before you type, for God’s sake. Just be quiet and pray that the Oil Rich countries don’t get mad at us.

“Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop looking for ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.”

QUESTION FOR THE POSTERS:
Has anyone ever had their posting removed from here?
I posted last night, nothing obscene and nothing rude and someone removed it before this morning.
Thanks.

>>Al Qaeda tried to attack the US Capital back in 2001.<<
The source of the anthrax in the post-9/11 anthrax attacks was traced to the Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick, and top Bush administration officials began taking the anti-anthrax drug Cipro one week before the first anthrax attack took place and 3 weeks before it appeared on Capitol Hill. The FBI refuses to provide Congress with a briefing on their status of their anthrax investigation.

Fear is a great motivator! Republican GW Bush, uses this form of terorrism against the people all the time. Why is it GW seems to be the one speaking for Osama? Al Qaida? 48,000 US citizens have died in the USA since 911, by Illegal persons, that have invaded my country! by simply walking accross our unprotected boarders, emboldening our enemies? Revolution ready.

Wake up folks. The bad guys are living amongst us. They are just biding their time. He or she is probably living next door to you.
Their attacks will come again sooner than later. More multiple attacks. These guys are relentless. Even a blind man could see what we are headed into.
We on the other hand have not used what is at our disposal and it makes us weak in their eyes. You have to subdue this enemy by doing whatever it takes.

These are obvious terroristic videos. How someone can say these are made by American Intelligence agencies is astounding.
Those that are going on about how Bush arranged 9/11. I think you people really need some help.
This is a global war. We didn’t want it, we didn’t ask for it, but god damn it, you mess with the bull, you get the horns. At least this administration didn’t sit idely by while our country was put under attack and just launch a cruise missle or two and call it a day unlike Billy Boy.
This country was founded by men who fought for our freedom and in the tradition of our great country is currently being fought by men that are defending our freedom. I love how alot complain about the government, but are always so free to leave, but choose to stay instead of moving to places like Iran, Syria, or even countries like Sierra Leone & Ukraine. They rather sit their fat asses in a chair and pretend to be patriotic Americans.
I know if I don’t like a movie, I leave the theatre. If you don’t like this country, feel free to leave and don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. (please remember to renounce your citizenship on the way out)

Typical left-wing liberal, seeing what they want to suit their agenda.

High Ranking Official.
Let me collect the money I have paid into a none existing fund, Social Security and I would be moore than willing to leave the NAU/USA tommorrow. Dont give me any crap about how great this country is, I served (1965-69)same crap then only now the US is being invaded and you have no one to thank besides GW.

First, as far as conspiracy goes – our own gov. causes people to question what is truth and what isn’t so lets not even go there – the US is not set apart from the rest in truth and morals by any means. This dates back to Nixon and Cambodia. We are no better quite frankly, we are just good at keeping things secrete and spinning propaganda. Next, come on people these are poor people/countries, they do not have an orginized military and are incabable of our infamous “shock and awe”. No, they have to resort to blowing themselves up which if you ask me is more courageous then flying over a country when everybody is asleep and dropping bombs on mostly residential areas. How do you think other countries perceive the US? If we are serious about this than why not go into Saudi Arabia where 15 of the terrorists are from – why? Because we are bullying the weak countries to establish ourselves in the middle east and working with other countries that are no better, just richer and have something to offer the US. Just like Sadam did when we needed him during the feud with Iraq, which is when he committed all of the war crimes, which we chose to ignore because we needed him at the time. People are sick and tired of our hypocracy. If you go to some of the web sites that are not US you get the REAL news as to whats going on over there, like the Brits that dresseed up as insurgents – yes wigs and all – and were going to plant a car bomb. Thats not a conspiracy? We did not hear anything about that here – get it??

Dead is dead! Each year, about 20,000 men,women, children are Murdered in this country. Not by taliban or al Qaeda, but by Americans! Each year, about 100,000 women report they are raped. Not by taliban or al Qaeda, Americans!Lets really protect Americans from terrorism, spend the $100 billion that we spend in Iraq and spend it in this country to build more prisons to keep the real terrorists(criminals) from terrorizing the good, decent Americans.

“The Islamic State of Iraq…March Toward Washington” reads the headline in English superimposed over a digitally created scene of the U.S. Capitol under attack in the introductory sequence of one tape released on the Internet this week.
Released on the Internet by whom? Where’s the reference?

The media is left? Are you insane? There are six multinational companies that own the entire breadth of our broadcasting and written news agencies. Which corporate interests do you think are “socialist” or left leaning?

I don’t know about you, but I am starting to be more worried about these leftist homegrown terrorists than Al Qaeda itself. It continues to amaze me the hatred people have for their own government. I am upset about a lot of things that the govt does but no where near as bad as some of these people. Like the blogger before stated, if you don’t like it leave! You have that freedom, stop thinking somebody owes you something! And speaking from someone who has investigated the real terrorists I think the majority of people on here underestimate their resolve. Thank god we have freedom to make an opinion, but before you choose to hate something a wise person usually gets the facts.

This is just so much hooey! The Bush/Cheney Regime is just filling our heads with false information. There may be a plan to attack the US and DC in particular but I’ll bet you any amount of “Amero’s” that Bush is behind it!

I would have to agree with the previous comment. I do think that this administration has a hand in a lot more than anyone in the US wants to admit. The fact is: If George was put on trial at the ICC he would be deemed a war criminal – Perhaps that’s why he opted NOT to sign the US to the ICC (hmm?) Nevertheless, the US has never, EVER, since George Washington back in 1776 allowed torture. This president has altered the consitution under the noses of the ignorant American population. Those that cry foul are branded unpatriotic or even worse. I think that a revolution is needed here in the US than it is needed anywhere else.
Also – To all those that complained that this article was somehow helping or aiding the terrorists: You are all stupid. The government has brainwashed you into thinking that censoring the TRUTH is for your best interest. Who cares who says it? The truth is: Al-Qaieda wants to attack the US. Hear it from the horses mouth (al-qaeda) and try to understand WHY this is happening. Only then can it be prevented. So, Why are they releasing more footage? Perhaps the current US policy has inflamed the situation even more than it already was? Perhaps people in that region have a very good reason for hating the US. I would have to say that after living in Arabia my whole life, that the US’s policy is a combination of self servient interest and regional control. Neither of which really helps the inhabitants in the region. So you Americans expect a thank you? Look at Israel. Just LOOK. The US gives Israel more aid than Africa and S. America combined! The Israeli’s have been terrorising and stealing from Palestinians for over 50 years. there are currently over 70 UN Security council resolutions that Israel is violating, some as long as 40 years. But the US continues to give them BILLIONS of dollars of military and economic aid so they can wage systemic genocide against Palestinians. The policies are made in DC, with lobbyists and cronies. The money is made in NY. Maybe now you can see why Palestinians were cheering on 9/11? This is an attack of POLICY and BUDGET in the Middle East. To think that Arabs or Muslims arbitrarily hate the US is to believe the Ignorant propaganda that this administration wants you to believe to keep you scared and willing to give them the power to do whatever they want… Instaed of looking at the REAL issue: The US has double standards about Nukes (ISrael has them, they’re not signed on to the NPT, they have threatened other countries, they have violated Human rights, International law, UN resolutions…) so they are still worthy of aid? Called an Ally? But Iran, No. They aren’t. We can’t even talk to them. Come on? Israel is not TRYING, not PLANNING, they HAVE over 200 nuclear war heads ILLEGALLY and they’re not signed on to the NPT, nor are they allowing IAEA inspectors into their sites…. Does anyone care America??? Until the US plays fair, people in the Middle East will exploit the unjust and illegal practices the US commits as an excuse to wage war against financial and political centers in the US. If they simple hated “all americans” then they would have chosen civilian targets, instead of govt. and financial centers. But no, don’t ask WHY… Just focus on the terror alert color code.. Is it red? Is it yellow? Put your American flag up on your front lawn and a sticker on your car… You’re a patriot as long as you believe whatever the hell the president says to you, right? It’s true what they say in the Middle East about Americans: They don’t deserve what they have because they are too stupid to protect it from the greedy amongst themselves. America needs to remember people like Martin Luther king Jr. Malcolm X, JFK, Robert Kennedy and even John Lennon. These people were victims of US assisinations ordered from the FBI, DOJ or even the White house. Did America really want these people dead? Who’s being held accountable for this stuff? What kind of democracy is this that people that are trying to invoke civil change for the better are able to get assassinated under highly suspicious circumstances without the infrastructure of Legal America even trembeling???? Are people here that Ignorant??? I guess so.

thank you america for your stand against the terror elite groups.

THIS JUST IN: See globalresearch.com, then take a look at Weather modification.org. See the Senate ACT while your there. If you think weather modification is a conspiracy theory wake up and smell the cloud seeding. Or you might just look up. Thank you Abu Nasser for the insight. I wish more Americans had access to honest information other than disgraced heiresses, wandering whales, incessant bashing of opinion other than pro war propaganda and fear mongering. I am embarrased to be an American citizen at this time in history. I believe that once this neo-con generation dies off, our next generation will seek to set things right. They will have more access to more truthful information. The media will have to adjust it’s propaganda level as transparancy from the internet will contradict them. The need for world peace and ecological harmony will supercede corporate domination. Or…we’ll just blow each other up and another species will inherit whats left.

I agree Jazz, I most probably am poor in contrast to you and your 1% of the billionaire population supporting global corporate domination. In stark contrast, if your like most of us, you would have little of your personal and moral interests represented by Bush Co… Or did Karl Rove hook you into believing “THEY” are the religious and rightous chosen ones doing Gods “hard” work. Poor Jazz…if your duped. Go fight in Iraq if your a duper and support this war of lies, oil, greed, and trillions to the loyalists. Those pesky innocent victims you may kill…by the hundred thousands…you know very well collateral casualties are part of God’s plan. So keep up the good fight and hold on to your holy book. (you’ll need that) or you could just take your abundance of blood money and go to Europe where Americans are so loved and respected for our ability to invade a soveriegn nation on trumped up lies, violate Geneva Conventions that ban torture, our fraudulent voting system, NSA illegal wiretapping, systemic corruption in our government ex. Justice Dept., and our competency in the government response to Hurricane Katrina victims. Gee, what ever happened to those fema trailers? I’m sure your vacation will be fantastic. Just hold your head high knowing how much your President has contributed to a safer more peaceful world for us all for generations to come. Peace and Love. Jacqueline

Poor thing..the world is ending tonight…boo hoo…Jaqueline lives in a 2 dimensional world…the Yankees need to start winning…the Smashing Pumpkins can’t go on with out James and D’Arcy…Jazz is a billionaire…waaaaa…I’m scared…

Yep Fred, those nuclear weapons that Castro put on the island had nothing to do with it right?

how come
we
can’t send videos over and out to al qaeda
with our messages ?
they keep sending out the same rhetorical bs of what they wanna do to us and we can’t retort ?
we had a great one all planned out on 912……would still like to do it and post it on al jazeeeero..

Well they are american media do you people really think they answer all the questions with facts being under the control of the govt so heavy. I would think not.

US/Middle Eastern Islamic involvement goes back to the founding of our republic. George Bush did not cause it.
Barbary pirates (North African Muslims) were attacking British, French and American ships, taking their cargoes, and kidnapping their crews for ransom in the late 1700′s. When we were a colony of England our ships received British naval protection. After the revolution, no more protection, so the situation worsened. Hundreds and hundreds of American civilian crew of merchant vessels were thrown into dungeons. European civilians (women and children) were also kidnapped en masse and sold into slavery. Ransom demands included money and warships! We paid! We actually built them warships to attempt to appease them, which they obviously then used to attack us more effectively. During Jefferson’s administration up to 20% of US Federal budget went for ransom – called “tribute”.
Ben Franklin negotiated a treaty with the Muslims in Paris, which they promptly broke, claiming that agreements with infidels were not binding.
Jefferson went to Congress, convinced them to create a US Navy. Lieutenant Steven Decatur sailed into Tripoli, met local Muslim warlord who demanded $50,000. Decatur told him no, there was a new plan. The warlord had 1 hour to pay $50,000 to the US and release the hostages or US ships would reduce him and his palace to rubble. Guess what – the Sultan capitulated! Crisis over.
So, children, today’s history lessons are:
1. Islamoterrorists have been targeting westerners in the middle east for over 200 years.
2. Their methods include hostage taking and unprovoked attacks on civilians.
3. They only stop when faced with superior force and threatened with annihilation.
4. This was all happening several centuries before GW Bush, the CIA, Cheney, Rumsfeld, oil wells, etc.
Learn some history. It is difficult to know where you are going if you don’t know where you have been.

WOW. ‘Great’ ideas here. The USA has always had many reasons for being in Iraq, the main one being to bring about a level of security and stability to the region that has never been possible before. The long term impact of successful and secure new democracies in the region will bring about a long lasting peace and spur economic growth that will benefit the entire Arab world as the oil sheiks gradually lose their wealth during the century. Al Qalb-da(the dogs) will lose favor and power and will become what the KKK is today.

Don’t try to convince the brainwashed sheep that Al-Qaeda is a creation from the CIA/Mossad… It’s useless…
