Authorities: New Tape to Urge Use of Weapons of Mass Destruction on Civilians.

Intelligence and law enforcement sources tell ABC News they are expecting al Qaeda supporters will post a new video on the Internet in the next 24 hours, calling for what one source said is "jihadists to use biological, chemical and nuclear weapons to attack the West."

I'm shocked they would propose such a thing.

Some pansy in South Dakota is probably shaking in his boots over the 1 in a billion chance he's going to be a terrorist target.

Seriously though, if some Americans (especially the guys) would grow a pair and realize that terrorism is a way of life for most countries and that your chances of being directly affected are like getting struck by lightning twice over, we wouldn't have to deplete our treasury to the brink of bankruptcy.

Oh I completely agree w/you. The hysteria that this administration has brought our country to is scary. It's like terrorism of the mind...but not for the people who are smart & don't actually buy into this.

Well, if you ask me, we are going to be hit with something else before Jan 20, 09. This way the Constitution will be suspended, Bush will make himself the dictator (and people thought he was kidding when he said that), martial law will ensue and we'll all be rounded up and stuck in camps.

Anytime a tape comes out now I look for the reason as to why is this tape coming out now.

This may not be a scare tactic. A man left a bag at our Salvation Army night before last and said he was going back to Iraq because he hated America so much. When the employees looked in the bag they saw a box with wires attached. They evacuated and called the police, who called in the state police and a bomb squad. They removed it and detonated it safely. People living in the area said their windows shook so hard they thought they would blow out. The newspaper buried a story on it in the paper and tried to downplay it.

This "news" was about a terrorist cheerleader tape, and has no credibility.

Well the MSM won't be reporting that they made a mistake..will they ?

So all those TV watching non-readers just got a little more "fear" instilled in them.
