Conyers hearings were why the tape was released.

[Skidmore]

Pure and simple. This morning Brian Lamb asked a caller how the govt. could have released the tape when it came for Al-Jazeera. Something to point out in regard to this argument. Our govt made it know that they targeted the Al-Jazeera offices to be blown to kingdome come a short while ago. Perhaps this is why a tape was made and Al-Jazeera was threated with destruction if they did not make it public for our criminal administration.

1. Since Bush is so cool with the sauds couldn't we just

make the tape with then and have the sauds deliver it the best way.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

2. hmmm. perhaps the NSA caught his telephone dictation, taped it,

then sent it on to Al Jazeera? Timing is everything.

[boobooday]

3. I heard a rumor that this tape was not new

But a re-edit of an older tape. Has anyone else heard this? Is there any evidence that this is recent?

And I wonder why Osama is giving us the heads up, when it would seem that if he wanted his attack to be successful, he should keep it on the down-low, knowing that the Amazing Bush was on the case.

4. Then It Kinda Backfired

I don't see the tape as a good thing for Bush... a distraction from other scandals... maybe. But it just highlights the guy's incompetence and criminal negligence. And it also exposes Bush's failure in transforming the Middle East.

5. They aren't playing to people who analyse. They are playing to people who

fear and knee-jerk. The ploy continues to work on them.

[Matariki]

6. but it just serves as a reminder of what a failure bush is

doesn't it?

[Beelzebud]

7. Thats what a normal person would conclude.

But the zombie sheep, that are the Bush supporters, will see this as a sign of strength, and a need to "stand by your man".

They'll support Bush no matter what.

9. Hoping their "father" will protect them to the very end. nt

8. Only to people who respond by thinking. if your response is feeling fear

this ploy bypasses thought. That is how the bush admin works, their entire methodology in a nutshell (pun intended).

Bypass reason, play straight to fear.
