"Experts say Osama Bin Laden

[tsuki]

will not attack states that vote for Kerry." Did anyone other than me see this scroll on CNN? I am sorry that I must ask, but sometimes I think I am becoming delusional.

[leftofthedial]

when the whole world is mad

what is the sane man?

[sandnsea]

1. Comprehension deficit

The transcript showed he was CLEARLY talking about countries, he referred to Sweden. These people are just despicable and I hope we never forget what they've done either.

[Bandit]

2. Well I hope my state votes for Kerry then

I don't want to be attacked by that skinny bearded guy.

[Trajan]

3. Right WIng spin ....

in an attempt to link Kerry with Osama ....

Rush was at it today: "Once: Osama said he liked chocolate milk .... well guess what folks: .. KERRY LIKES CHOCOLATE MILK TOO ! ! " ...

That kind of silliness .....

Typical ...

4. Osama said "we don't attack states that don't attack us."

Meaning NATIONS. The US has already attacked them...

NY is the bluest of the blue, and we got hit. He hasn't changed his convictions.

6. Ok, I'm reversing my convictions.

States DO = individual US States. So speaketh the middle east media research institute.

"The tape of Osama bin Laden that was aired on Al-Jazeera <1> on Friday, October 29th included a specific threat to "each U.S. state," designed to influence the outcome of the upcoming election against George W. Bush. The U.S. media in general mistranslated the words "ay wilaya" (which means "each U.S. state") <2> to mean a "country" or "nation" other than the U.S., while in fact the threat was directed specifically at each individual U.S. state. This suggests some knowledge by bin Laden of the U.S. electoral college system. In a section of his speech in which he harshly criticized George W. Bush, bin Laden stated: "Any U.S. state that does not toy with our security automatically guarantees its own security.""

5. I thought I heard the tail end of a news (sic) cast

local Fox station,the same goofy story. That is the most desperate story I think I will ever hear. Just who is translating these tapes? What a sick crock of shit!

7. Like Rummy said about Afghanisatn...

Red states don't have any targets, Blue states do.

It'll be hard for him to keep his word.
