Al-Qaida issues a chilling warning
A new tape purporting to be from Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network yesterday threatened an onslaught against Americans so devastating it would obliterate memories of the September 11 suicide attacks.

The audio tape message, dated September 3, was broadcast on al-Arabiyya satellite TV channel yesterday and seemed timed to coincide with the second anniversary of the devastation in New York and Washington in which about 3,000 people were killed.

"We announce there will be new attacks inside and outside which would make America forget the attacks of September 11," said an al-Qaida spokesman who identified himself as Abu Abd al-Rahman al-Najdi. The television showed a still photograph of a bearded militant.

"We assure Muslims that al-Qaida ranks have doubled ... Our casualties are nothing compared to our (good) conditions now. Our coming martyrdom operations will prove to you what we are saying," he added.

2. All this was allowed to happen while we diverted valuable resources
to the unjustified Iraq invasion. It appears that al-qaeda has re-organized and our unnecessary killing and bombing of Iraq has inflamed the Islamic world. Will we ever be the same after Bush's phony war on terrorism?

3. I don't know how to take it anymore....
yellow, orange, red days...

bush filling us with fear saying
"terrorists" "terror" all the time....

What are we supposed to do..drag out

walks the dog,

What will happen will happen.

And if you're one of the Lucky Ones, you have a job in Bush's America.

7. Yes...
shopping is good and who knows
how much longer any of us will
be able to afford anything.

AWOL is sending our ecomomy in
to a bottomless pit.

Sad what freepers can do to the
country in such a short time.

5. Am aghast and lost...what's real anymore?
Edited on Sun Sep-07-03 10:46 PM by Angel_O_Peace
The latest tape appears to reinforce warnings by the FBI and homeland security officials last week that al-Qaida is still targeting Americans and has a presence in the US.

Is this for real? Or more exploitation of Sept. 11?


The US department of homeland security said it remained concerned about al-Qaida's "continued efforts to plan multiple attacks against the US and US interests overseas."

Ridge is remaining concerned? Wow! He must really be waiting for the Rove hand to drop so he can make an announcement to raise the LEVEL OF TERROR! Is it just me, or is there some order of orchestration with news such as this coming just ahead of September 11.

Pinch me. I need to wake up.

I hope this latest is not true, but will withhold final opinion until more news is out.

16. A complete orchestration
Edited on Mon Sep-08-03 12:15 AM by Sick of Bullshit
with a chorus of hundreds of media sycophants singing the Ode to Bu$$$h in glorious harmony as the woodwinds and trumpets blow and the violins fiddle around to the steady beat of the drums of war.

8. But Bush*
said most of the leaders are dead or captured.

Maybe so. One leader dies two take his place. The world

is full of leaders. Some of them are pretty good.

17. Timing is everything............
those Al-Qaeda sure know how to support the underpinnings of Bush's speech and the RNC agenda, don't they?

Mutually enabling entities, I think. One couldn't exist without the other. Sadly, they will be doing no one a favor, either us, the world, or the people of the Middle East if they do follow through with another attack....I think we'll be kissing our Democracy goodbye if this happens.
