New Bin Laden tapes on the eve of 9-11~
Why do I get the sneaking suspicion that the US reaps what it sows?

1. because of a little thing called
Karma. And right now, US Karma is about as ugly as it's ever been in its entire history.

14. I sometimes wonder if that is the point
in an Orwellian kind of way.

Get the masses so confused that they become paralyzed. Fire information at them so fast that there is no time to process it. What is truth and what is a lie? Keep them doubting themselves and they'll never take a stand.

Good God, it takes a couple of hours to comprehend the 9-11 timeline. Who has time for that? There's new bombings, and terror alerts, and bin Laden videos, and Britney and Madonna kissing. Gotta move on.

3. I'm thinking that the Bush family and Bin Laden are
in this together. Trying to scare us again. Things are bad for Bush and now more threats.

4. will the average American perceive this
as "we'd better stick with the Bush team because they are keeping OBL at bay", or "the Bush team STILL had not rooted out OBL; we're sick of this; let's make a change?"

9. I think the term is co-dependent....they do seem to be
mutually enabling, don't they. One needs the other to bestow legitimacy.

Amazing the OBL is public enemy #1, yet, with all the resources at his disposal, this pResident is unable to capture him or Hussein. Another coincidence? I think not.

6. I don't see where he says "deserves" anything, but reaps..............
what they sows.............well, yes - bad policy and all that, old chap. America does have some bad policy towards the world. People out that have died you know because of the US........so this is why other countries hate the USA.

8. I think different societies always seem to need a boogie man.
"Commies" were ours for a while, now "fanatic Islam".

We are theirs.

12. Call me a space cadet but,
isn't it a wee bit coincidental that Bin Laden shows up again as a big terrorist threat at the same time Bushie and Ashcroft are pushing for a big brother agency to bring all local police under one command?

These are good old fascist tactics. Ratchet up the fear of the population and then grab more control to wipe out dissent. I wouldn't doubt it if Bin Laden is one of them.
