| The department of empty threats strikes again. | |
| 2004-02-24 | |
| Al-Qaida leader warns of new attacks Usama Bin Ladin’s top aide, Ayman al-Zawahiri has warned the US of fresh attacks in a new audio tape aired by Aljazeera. (I wonder how long Al-J had possesion of this tape before they decided to air it, last time it was at least two months) In the tape aired on Monday, al-Zawhiri also lashed out at US President George Bush. Al-Zawahri accused Bush of misleading the world, spreading "fear" (GOOD) in the Middle East and appointing "corrupt" leaders. He has also denied Bush’s allegations of cracking down on two-thirds of al-Qaida network. (We are as strong as we where on 9-11 our recent victories in the belly of the eagle prove, uhm, ehhh, never mind.) In this audio tape, al-Zawahri has undermined the US claims of achieving freedom and security in the world. Shifting on to the Iraqi issue, the top aide has said Iraq was under the rule of an anti-Islamic secular governor (referring to Saddam Hussein) and is now under an anti-Islamic occupation. He then warned the United States of new attacks carried out by what he called "Death Brigades". (Shudder) In his audio tape, al-Zawahri referred to Bush’s State of Union Speech, which is normally delivered on 20 January, indicating that al-Zawahri’s tape was recently recorded.

| #11 Usama Bin Ladin’s top aide, Ayman al-Zawahiri has warned the US of fresh attacks in a new audio tape aired by Aljazeera. Wait a minute. The last promised attacks haven't arrived yet, so how does this guy get off issuing warnings of "fresh" attacks? Ohhhh, I get it - it's the promises that are fresh. Oooooookay..... |

| #8 whatever... I did say we need to take this (and all other threats) seriously. But this alledged guy is blowing smoke out his ass again. He has been making these threats for months now. First it was Thanksgiving, then Christmas, then Feb 2nd, then Feb 4th..... Every time this person makes a 'Dire Prediction' which falls through it proves that Al-Q is being beaten down. |

| #5 Wow! It sure is great that you folks are so confident about Al Qaeda's complete lack of capabilities. I feel much better now. Nothing to worry about. Nope. I'm glad that those who work in our intel and defense organizations feel differently. |

| #2 Well, well. Fresh Attacks (were the old ones getting stale?)I am shaking in my boots. Don't you all remember the hundreds of thousands who died on 2/2/2004? Or was it 2/4/2004 or perhaps 2/15/2004... Would you beleve 2/3/2004? Unfortunately the media will play this as a 'serious' threat (Duck and Cover!). And we will need to take this seriously. |
