US Media not accurately reporting Al Zawahiri statement
He did threaten massive attacks against the US on US soil to dwarf 911. They were not just threats against the Brits and the US Military. I guess the MSM wants to feed the administration propaganda BS of "fight them over there so we don't have to fight them here" Hey, what else is new?

I assume that the real translation can be found here:

http://english.aljazeera.net/HomePage

Whether something happens or not isn't the point... its the continual spin that we face in this country from the administration and the corporate run media here!

6. Aljazeera offers limited translation - no specific targets cited
Only translation offered by Ajazeera regards vague threats against any infadel countries in the Middle East.

-Aljazeera snip-
"What you have seen in New York, Washington and Afghanistan, are only the initial losses and if you (United States) continue the same hostile policies you will see what will make you forget those horrors," he said in reference to the 11 September 2001 attacks.

-Aljazeera snip-
"If you do not leave today, you will inevitably leave tomorrow,
but only after (you suffer losses) of tens of thousands of dead and many more injured."

2. if MSM does not support the idea that they will attack here
in force,
then the normal Joe 6-pack and his wife Jane Doe will start to think
hey. if they are not threatening to attack, why do I have to go through security to get into my county building? or Courthouse? or some commercial buildings?
WHy, if there is no threat against us?

of course, our leaders cannot allow that kind off thinking to take place.

3. I wonder why no one is stressing that
I'm much more nervous about an attack on US soil now more than ever. Especially since certain people seem to be itching to bomb Iran...

I've never been one to don a tin-foil hat but I've been really uneasy lately...I hope it's just paranoia.

5. I agree...
I'm more concerned as to what bushco could do... negroponte as intelligence czar, Bolten at the UN, Powell gone, condilieza as secretary of state...cheney talking tactical nuke development... falling poll numbers, wanting to "spread more freedom" and a long vacation in August. Its truly a concern...
