#1 If this is true, why is it not bigger news and why is it not released in its entirety? It would be huge for Bush.

#4 Did al J pass unedited copies of the tape on to other agencies? If not, you can't blame the rest of the MSM for not using the good-for-Bush bits, only al J.

#6 I would say that Al-Jitzz may have consulted the american MSM about which parts of the tape to broadcast and which to 'filter out' and the MSM said to leave out the anti-bush and 'we are getting out asses kicked' portions because they would draw people to Bush.

Why else would they filter out just about everything which might draw people to Bush?

#7 *shakes head* sorry Jawa, that link only gives the broadcasted portion. I'm still looking for a full transcript myself.

#8 al-Jazeera just posted a english translation of what they say is the full transcript here. Oh, and Binny sez Robert Fisk is neutral, so lay off him, ok?

#9 Read that one a couple of times and it must be the edited version as well. No mention of getting their asses kicked. It doesn't read like any of Binny's other speeches, it sounds like it was written by a westener for him.

#10 Osama testing his brand new explosive. Grenade

#11 My take too, steve. Sounds too western and very liberal-asshat...

#12 I think he's aiming for an info-mercial career. Likely cheap knives, perhaps the automatic transmission bike. Hard to say.

#13 If the MSM have access to the full tape and have refused to report on it-- esp the part about Afghanistan being such a huge success for us and a disaster for AQ-- then this is a major scandal, bigger than Rathergate.

#14 Unfortunately lex this would not be anything new.

Notice how much coverage the MSM gave to those forged CBS documents while they entirely ignored as 'partisan' the eye-witness accounts of the swiftvets (from both parties). Hell they are still claiming (without any evidence) Bush missed a few national guard dates while entirely ignoring Kerry's giving aid and comfort to the enemy during time of war.

The MSM months-on-month-long coverage of the prison scandal (which was already being investigated) which only involved a few malcontents for 2-3 nights while they entirely ignore the rapes and outright murders still occuring in western Sudan. Their absolute refusal to label the russian-school 'militants' as Islamic -- or even as 'terrorists' as well as their refusal to mention the cold blooded murder (and rape) of children and babies by these 'brave freedom fighters' (cough cough).

I think the MSM has been spreading this shit for a long time and only now, with the blogsphere, are they being held to account.

Didn't Cronkite (and friends) proclaim the Tet offensive a huge disaster for the US?

#15 OBL lamenting our guys making life difficult for him. Tough shit. Bush said what he was going to do. He did what he said he was going to do. That is a pretty fair basis for leadership. Good reason to vote Bush in my mind.

#16 Easy on the automatic transmission bike Shipman. I am IN that infomercial! (And no I did not get paid.) I am the one having trouble shifting on the ten speed. Tragically, this did not launch either my small screen or big screen career.

#17 Good Heavens RM! I'm going to have to TiVo an infomerical!
