Why Usama tape now? To convince US public NSA spying is a GOOD thing

[blm]

and that they WANT more spying, not less.

And do it before the next election.

1. Thats one reason and to keep us scared!!!

Good Point...

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

2. But it doesn't make sense to let him threaten

because if they have found all this valuable information via spying on Americans, they already know what the plot is and have rushed to foil it, right? :sarcasm:

[blm]

7. Gee...you would think WH reporters would be all over that one, eh?

.

[tridim]

3. It's just a general deflection

from the dozen or so BushCo/GOP shit-storms gathering on the horizon.

[FreedomAngel82]

4. Probably

Nothing would surprise me from this group.

[NoPasaran]

5. All that spying

Doesn't seem to have helped track down UBL yet.

[kikiek]

6. I think it highlights their lack of ability to gather good intelligence to

locate him. Shows once again we went after the wrong guy. I will think it is cooked should he suddenly be "captured" though.

8. Yeah distraction for thier base.

It's all about keeping thier base in check. If they lose thier base it's Nixon time.

9. Too convince the Senate Dems vote for a permanent Patriot Act.

[Generator]

10. Yeah and I'd like to see someone (anyone that is sick of being used)

get some independent analysis done on this tape and have that on the news that there is no way to authenticate this shit because if that's Osama bin Laden asking for a truce and forgiveness, them I'm a right wing fundamentalist. (anything is possible but the likelyhood of it is not the same thing)

Where's what's that guy with a zillion dollars that someone got so mad that I dared to question-oh yeah George Soros. Buy CNN or do something. I bet he still has a zillion dollars. Bill Gates? Any rich SOB? America is dying and you will still be rich.

11. Coincided with the DOJ report. How convenient.

[blm]

12. Fits their MO to a T.

.

[HuffleClaw]

13. because there is going to be a terror attack really soon

and they need a patsy to blame it on. i only wonder why they haven't yet included IRAN in this. they could EASILY claim the tape is of 'iranian origin'
