Oh sure. The US Gov would get the OBL video before its posted on Jihadi websites

[Windy]

Come on now people. "Ain't gonna happen"!

Out of pure curiosity, I have been following all the net geeks who have been monitoring AlQ and Jihad websites over the years. When As Sahab posts a video, it is linked to literally hundreds of websites simultaneously. There is NO Way that the government is going to get first dibs with the chance to edit before it is shown to the world.

Now, more than ever, I'm convinced that OBL is a PNAC stooge.

I think we all better hold on to our collective arses over the next few weeks. With the B-52 "incident" the Patraeus report and all the saber rattling over Iran, I think we are in a very dangerous time.

Just as an FYI, I was an electrician on B-52 aircraft in the USAF. The only time that nuclear weapons are uploaded are when the bombers on are the Alert Pad. The Alert Pad is a HIGHLY secure area on a SAC base. It is fenced in and all crew and maintenance personnel stay in a bunker on the pad while their respective assigned plane is on the pad. Each plane is guarded by armed security. It used to be two assigned to each plane. In order for an uploaded B-52 to even taxi, would require an order from a higher up and I'm not talking the base commander, much less to actually take off. They were never flown uploaded even during readiness exercises. This stinks to high heaven.

the way things are adding up, I think everyone has a right to be concerned given who is running the country. I hate to do this but... :tinfoilhat: is being put in place. :rant:

1. Well, of course.

The originator ALWAYS has something before it goes to the selected distributor.

[bahrbearian]

2. Or the Producer.

[Warren Stupidity]

4. Yeah its called 'final cut'. nt.

[tridim]

3. No need to investigate the SOURCE of the tape..

Or the people who run all those elusive "Jihad Websites". :eyes:

Who sent the tape to the freaking WH?

[PATRICK]

5. According to Al Jazeera

the Islamicist sites shutting down might have been an instant reaction to fear of a deep leak. The video should have come out naturally on 9/11. Who leaked the leak? The WH chose to pre-empt the timing without releasing the text, spilling a few points as it chose, namely those involving Dems. The translation allowed to be presented to our lapdog media should be interesting to compare to the original.

A lot more happening this year than any since 2001, discounting the obvious political exploitations in 2004. Why this year and not next? Because time is running out on Iran, probably already delayed. Except for some signals by Russia and China pushing back and the leaks about nearly everything that the MSM will never in a million years probe, the news is particularly bad for Iranians at ground zero. You really have to work at ignorance not to see this crime unfolding.

6. precisely... something is afoot. n/t

7. speaking of translation...

Logic states that if he wanted to get a message to the American people it would already be in English... He's not a cave dweller; he grew up rich. I'm sure he speaks a bit of Russian too.

9. I damn sure agree with that last sentence

the bush*/cheney* regime is between a rock and a hard place and they are going to have to do something soon because the groundswell for impeachment will guarantee their impeachment and removal soon if they don't do something to stem the tide, so to say. their plan all along is to hijack our government as his signing statements attest to and declare they are king, yes king dick and king w have almost succeeded in overthrowing our Constitution and doing it right in front of our noses using our deeply religious to do it too.
After this is all over I hope to see very few overly religous people left the rest of my life. Its on their backs I place most of the blame for where we are today. sorry thats just how I feel

[paparush]

16. I hate to be a poop, but just who is going to initiate Impeachment?

Conyers and his calculator? Reid sitting on his dry powder? Nancy's too busy keeping things off the table.

[Virginia Dare]

8. You are in need of a heavy dose of kool-aid my dear...

enough of that critical thinking...:spray:

[bananas]

10. k&r nt

[Richard Steele]

11. Yes, that makes perfect sense and is completely believable to me! Recommended. nm

[rudy23]

12. It's Karl Rove in a beard, trying to link progressive policy with terrorism.

It'll probably work, too.

[Disturbed]

13. I strongly suspect that his tape is fake.

I hope someone can prove that it is.

[ryanus]

14. I don't doubt that the gov got it first

they probably made it

[SixString]

15. Also take note of the talking points

Global warming, anti-globalization, anti-corporatism, the mortgage crisis, and praising Noam Chomsky.

17. Has everyone read the complete transcript?
