"The new FBI analysis, reviewing more than 70 al Qaeda messages over the last 14 years, found a recurring theme of "the duty to kill Americans -- both military and civilian." - Over the LAST 14 YEARS! As in all the way back to 1993, when the American public was even more clueless than it is now...AQ is a new thing...yeah, right, ...

I want to see the "pink mist" surround this thug's head!!! I do not want this piece of crap taken alive. Kill him.

I don't think that anyone is saying that AQ is a new thing Jazz. I think they're all saying that AQ is funded by the Bush administration.

When in Wonder,
When in Doubt.
Run in Circles,
Scream and Shout.

I forget.. is this terror alert 1,754 or 1,755 so far this year?

why not. congress has not bothered to secure our borders. what a crock. i hope they are now happy. and when 50,000 are killed by al Qaeda will they still be happy or will they blame the citizens for being good targets. what a shame congress is

frank la may

What does Richard Clarke say about this tape?

Lets get the real Al Qaeda expert tell us what is going on.

Either way Al Zawahri seems to be a bit busy at the moment. And what better response to Bush saying that Al Qaeda are no longer a threat?

As DickNBush has assured us, we're fighting them over there, so we won't have to fight them here. So, this article can't be right - since, as we all know, DickNBush have never been wrong. (I'm laughing so hard, I hope I typed that right!)

Mohammad's Last Sermon:

All those who listen to me shall pass on my words to others and those to others again; and may the last ones understand my words better than those who listen to me directly. Be my witness O God, that I have conveyed your message to your people.

At least the Liberal Left has things figured out.
Far more economical to have American citizens killed here in our own soil than the military doing exactly what they are supposed to do.

Bush is the real terrorist.....yeah, right!

Just keep it up.

Just keep it up.

Just keep it up.

Well he shouldn't be -that hard to find. I mean, if we listen to the convoluted tortured logic of our President then he's either -in- Iraq or else he's going to attack us because he's near Iraq or else he's a threat because we haven't spent enough TRILLIONS of dollars in Iraq. Or perhaps he's just an evil guy who will do what he wants with no connection at all to Iraq. We spent all of our money and he's still coming at us. Good use of the public's funds. I wonder how many hospitals we could have funded by now?

I have a tip for Mr. Ross. Could it be the real terrorists are in the White House? Namely, Bush, Cheney, Rove, Gonzales, Chertoff. They continue to leave our borders wide open to terrorists and anyone who wants to invade America. They may as well mail a free ticket to America for Zawahri & Friends. Don't bother with a passport, we'd all be dead by the time our government could issue one!

sounds more like a prayer to me

Jazz,
AQ only exists because Bush invaded Iraq after he blew up the Twin Towers. Didn't you get the memo???

With all due respect, Mr. Ross, I find your public disclosure of methods and means (VoIP suspicions) professionally irresponsible and damaging and personally enraging.

You have little to prove regarding your investigative abilities, sir, and little to professionally gain from exposing such details. It does, however, seriously damage our ability to observe and monitor the senior leadership of a terorist group who has killed thousands of Americans, at home and abroad, and - as you yourself are reporting even within this report - clearly seeks to kill more of our citizens between our shores.

We used to be able to monitor Usama bin Laden by his (and others') use of satellite phones until the media publicly reported our means then.

Just because you learn something does not obligate you to report it.

I beg of you and your editors, please check your ego at the door when tempted to report extremely sensitive material.

And to Think, when Slick Willie was in office, he was offered Osama's head on a platter 3 different times, and Willie was too busy finding more places to stick cigars to bother to do anything, save bomb a drug factory that had little or no impact on the then developing Al Queda...Had Willie crawled out from the current skirt he was under and taken Osama out of the picture on one of the 3 times he had the chance to do so, would 9/11 have ever happened? Would we be in Iraq? Would we have such the huge amount of terrorists to deal with that we do today? You can blame Bush all you want, but the fact remains that if Slick Willie would have followed the old "an ounce of prevention equals a pound of cure" instead of following his cigar, the world may have been a better place than it currently is.

I think any prudent intel person would take pause with the consistency of language in the communiques. That is what the article references. I also think it is important to note that the warnings ABC is passing along to the public are what we, the public, asked for after 9/11. Remember the disgust and anger we all felt after hearing that the agencies all had some kind of knowledge that chatter indicated an attack? Well, now you are getting the information that we all wanted. Don't be a whiner about conspiracy theories and Bush. If an attack happens, it's not because of Bush goofs. Its because that is what they do and it won't stop after Bush is gone.

Doesn't look like a code to me...looks more like a trigger. Kind of like a base coach in baseball. When you see me touch my nose, then then brim of my hat, then nose again....that means steal home.

Thanks for that insightful comment Jazz. Very helpful.

There is something wrong with this picture. Congress wants to bring the toops home and al Qaeda is sending there people around to kill Americann'S.

The war is not lost. Only in the mind's of a bunch of cowards in congress. I have news for them Americans are not losers THEY ARE WINERS AND OUR MILITARY IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD.

FOR WHAT EVER REASON THIS BUNCH OF YELLOW BELLIES WANT TO LOSE. WHO IN THERE WRIGHT MINDS WANT TO FOLLOW LOSERS

1995- "The Net" starring: Sandra Bullock. There is a scene where she enters and internet cafe and there is a computer screen showing the CIA most wanted...Osoma Bin Laden is pictured on the Screen.

-"Any man willing to trade freedom for Security deserves neither...and will lose both." -Ben Franklin

I think that what they are saying is, "be afraid of us and do not pay any attention to the disaster in Iraq". Its funny how this tape comes out on the heals of the information rgarding progress in Iraq.

It's remarkable that, after nearly six years, US Intelligence is still only on the fringes of understanding the nuances of Al-Quaeda's strategic aims. Almost seems like a fishing expedition than real intelligence gathering and analysis/

For a minute there, I thought you said funded by the Bush Admin...you mean founded by the Clinton Administration! He's to blame for 9-11.

That's what people are saying eh? Did he start funding them before or after he faked the Kennedy assasination from a grassy knoll on the moon?

But, wait! Bush has told us that we've got the terrorists on the run. I don't understand ... does this article mean he's been lying to the American people all this time? No, say it ain't so...

hey liberal Ed, who funded AQ the first 6 years then??? surely not the clintons, right? whackjob!

Al-CIA-da

You will be judged by history for abetting another treasonous act, a-la 911.

Bin Laden has been dead for years. Bush Sr. was with OBL's brother on 911. OBL chartered planes for his family, with FBI knowledge. How many times are you gonna sell us the Brooklyn bridge.

It's either fear mongering or ANOTHER FALSE FLAG, inside job.

Shame on YOU!

I believe that all borders should be secured, and potential AQ cells be deported back to their country they have no BUSINESS in United States, these people will bring only evil on our land. They are stone age homosapiens.

It's scandalous that this guy continues to belch out these videos. It's nigh time we quit kowtowing to the "authority" of Pakistani warlords and "village leaders" operating near the Afghanistan border. And what the heck...the grossly incompetent neo-Cons botched post-war planning so badly in Iraq, why are they suddenly walking on eggshells now? To quote another nincompoop, "We start bombing in five minutes."

What part of Love thy Enemy, implies we should kill them

All you folks saying get out of Iraq better think about where you want to fight AQ. They declared war on YOU. Please think about what your solution is. If you are going to criticize, try to offer an alternate way to fight AQ, and not just mumbo jumbo crap. Maybe we should fight them in Pakistan. Send our troops over there and find Bin Laden!! Or just criticize about not already having him without offering a real solution. Any way, they declared war and attacked your country on 9/11, and some of us want to fight them!!!!

This is news reporting? I cannot imagine what earthly good it does me or anyone else to have information about Al Qaeda's most recent coded message. When you find out what it all means, then you'll have some news!

This is another good reason why the immigration bill died a righteous death on the senate floor. We need stricter controls, not more lenient.

As long as we keep runing scared every time they put some nonsensical messge out, they win. After all, this is Terrorism, not Killingism. Afraid is what they want us to be. Worried is how they want to keep us. I for one refuse to let them win. I am NOT afraid of the Big Bad Wolf. I think he is a coward hiding behind somwone elses border. I would face him down anytime, anywhere with any weapon of his choice. Come on Osama, how about pistols at 25 paces? Bring it on Big Bad Wolf. YOu aint so Big or so Bad either. You sir are a coward!!

Don't be so hard on Brian Ross, Mr. Schippert. Don't you realize it would violate his journalistic integrity to "choose sides" and defend the US against these barbarians? He'd be the laughingstock of the "mainstream" media.

Everyone should understand that many of the posts in this forum come from the terrorists themselves. If you listen to what is being said you will understand it is a tactic to get America divided. These are not liberals, or conservatives. They are terrorists playing the devils advocate.

al Qaeda wants to attack the U.S.? I say bring it on. Praise the Lord, and pass the ammunition.

Should we start buying duct tape and rolled plastic again

Why does the media keep giving this murderer of women and children free air time to spout his hatred. Zawahri speaks and the mass media bows to his all mighty power and airs his messages to the world for him, just what he wants them to do…. It’s time for the media to stop giving him, and his kind, a soapbox to spout all his crap…………..

If these messages are posted on the internet,why don't you people ever tell
us where they're posted?Why don't you post a link here so we can here the
message ourselves?Could it be because you know these things are staged by our
own government,and you don't want us
to figure it out?To late,we already
have

I applaud most of you. Interesting and compelling perspectives. First, I'd like to remind everyone to consider that while Osama is the face of AQ Zawhiri is the brains and spirit. Without each other AQ would really be nothing. The US in our on-going effort to exert our will on the world created the catalyst which brought these two together with there mission by blindly supporting Israels power plays and by fund insurgent in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Secondly, the act of terrorism is a psychological tactic of fermenting fear and insecurity throughout a population. So from that perspective I would have to agree that DicknBush meet the criteria of terrorists, as they have nurtured american fear and insecurity to their political advantage. Finally, since it is pretty clear that the messages of overt threat against our country are originating from Pakistan where the government clearly is unable to shoulder the mission of getting the bad guys. This is what we train our special ops guys to do. Turn them loose.

No wonder we are easy targets......there is too much skeptisism in and amongst US and British citizens. If we were told the truth from our sleep deprived US leaders and the President then we normal everyday people would be buying and building houses with bunkers 1000 feet in the ground. I don't care what anyone says or doesn't say....I will always believe the boy who cried, "Wolf." It will keep me alive longer.....and in the end....who will still be standing alittle beaten up and bruised? ME!

Lets send him The White Album ....his head would explode - TURN ME ON DEADMAN

"The ease and frequency of the propoganda messages..."

Like 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue doesn't have state of the art stuff?

Everytime a terror "threat" is reported we are so quick to point the finger at either Clinton or Bush. Well my fellow Americans these people want to kill us and do not care who is in the White House.

Chuck - goodness, I just popped bug-eyed when I read your post. "staged by our own government" My, my....what brainwashing encampment have you been in? You need to get out of that bunker and into the sunlight.

THERE IS NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER THAT THE VOICE ON THE AUDIO TAPE IS al Zawahri! This is not a video tape of al Zawahri. This is an AUDIO RECORDING of someone who's identity is UNKNOWN. Just because there is a picture of al Zawahri on the screen during the time the voice plays back does NOT mean it's al Zawahri!! This deception by the news media has gone on long enough. Do the government and news media think we're all fools? ANYONE with a computer and a microphone could have made this recording.

WHERE was it downloaded? WHO was the first person to find the recording on the Internet? Was that person interviewed? If so, how does he/she explain finding the recording? Do they have inside information? Are they part of a hoax? How come we in the public can NEVER find these recordings ourselves, but all of a sudden they just appear?

Deputy Bob said, "It's scandalous that this guy continues to belch out these videos"

But Bob, it's NOT A VIDEO!! The government and press want you to think it's a video, but this is an AUDIO recording with a static image of Zawhari on the screen. They want you to believe this is Zawhari talking, but NOBODY KNOWS who's voice is on the tape. I have a BIG problem with this deception. These audio tapes can be produced by any idiot with a computer. I don't put it past a US or foreign intelligence agency to produce these audio tapes and leak them to the press to scare the public into submission. Ask yourself why YOU can't find these recordings anywhere on the Internet. They are supposedly being 'posted' to websites, but for some reason only ABCNEWS gets access to these videos from their anonymous sources. The government could easily find the people posting these videos through simple internet traffic analysis, yet they NEVER DO! This is because these videos are being leaked to the government or news media by known sources. This deception must stop NOW. Demand answers to where these tapes come from.

RPG there are ways to remove an enemy's will to fight other than military intervention or beating them physically. We will win far more hearts and minds by helping those who have basic needs for clean water, food and health care than trying to hit a moving target and killing so many innocents along the way. Look at the support Hamas secured in Lebanon by taking care of people, and how that support has ebbed now that they and Fatah have been shooting at each other.

chuck davis correct! we amerikasans is fools@

when they track this brave jihadist down what do you bet he'll put on a dress to try to sneak away like the brave Pakistani jihadist did at the Red Temple madrasa this week.

Steve Schippert; You really should get your facts straight. The news media didn't uncover the fact that the NSA was tracking Bin Laden via his satellite phone, it was the NSA that had to brag about how clever they were who released this info to the media.

To whoever it was who thinks that ABC News is helping terrorists by telling us that Zawahri is likely using VoIP; Do you really think that the terrorists don't know what technology they're using? I've got a news flash for you, genius - many of these terrorists are not as stupid as you think they are. Most of them are probably smarter than you, in spite of their blinding ignorance of reality.

We can blame any and all politicians - they are all responsible for the safety of the citizens in this country. They are all power mongers who forget what they promise to do when they get into office. They all get an F as far as I'm
concerned.

Let's close the borders indefinitely,
find the bad guys here, lock them up
for life - no deportations. Let
them rot in jail and
save taxpayer money while we're at it.

AQ was created by the US, for use, by the US. That's why everytime they need a boost in ratings, they put the face of AQ on our tv and cry wolf.
They can take pictures of them in there camps getting ready to strike, but can't seem to drop a bomb on them. Just pictures.
The president is told what to do and what to say at every turn from behind the scenes, And if they don't listen then they get what Kennedy got, One to the front of the head. Or was it the back. They spin things 180 degrees. The Kennedy assasination was an inside job just as 911 was, and is simple to see if you take off the blinders. Kennedy's head go's backwards after shot, brains land on trunk. End of story.
The Pentagon has a whole to small for the plane that hit it, and no jet debre clean lawn and not one airline seat in sight. To either side of the whole was glass windows, not even broken from two 6000lbs. engines slamming into them at 4 to 5 hundred miles an hour! Cmon people WAKE UP!!! we are under attack by our own Government. We have all seen plane crashes theres alway's alot of debre! 4 planes off course and not one jet scrambled to intercept??? People can stick there heads in the sand as long as they wish but it does'nt change the facts, it just gives them more time to plan the next attack. Theres one reason they refuse to secure the borders. There plan for the North American union with Canada and mexico. Why waste the money on securing the border when they plan for NO borders. They are practicly begging for another attack to squash the massive uprising that's happening in America. They are crashing the dollar on purpose so there union idea looks great to everybody when they intoduce it.
Vote for real change.
Ron Paul for President 2008

Blah blah blah.. all Bush and Dickies fault my rear.. How about blaming Billy for letting Osama live long ago when they had the chance.. Maybe we would not be in the pickle we are in now. Or how about blaming the politicians that were in office 20+ years ago for allowing our boarders to be open.. Maybe they should loose their benefits for 5 years to pay for the new boarder protection? Or how about we blame the companies (swift and others) for allowing illegals to work for them? Why should there even be a discussion about the boarders now? That should be cut and DRY.. GET OUT AND STAY OUT ILLEGALS!!! This talk about blaming Dick and George is getting old.. How about blaming your self.. How about YOU standing up and taking action your self.. If you can not be part of the solution then you ARE part of the problem..

The conventional wisdom for the last 6 years is that we should allow these fanatical muslims to communticate through the Internet. This is a failed strategy. Their ability to communicate through the Internet should be taken away from them. They should not be allowed to spread their hate so easily over the entire globe.

I dont understand this is 2007 right? If the call was placed over internet VOIP cant the CIA do a traceroute or hire some IT savvy lone-gunmen type person to locate these scoundrels??? It sounds like something a script-kiddie could do!

YOU KNOW WHAT IS FUNNY ABOUT IMMIGRANTS. IT IS HARDER FOR ONE ( 1 ) PERSON TO GET INTO THE U.K FROM THE USA THEN IT IS FOR 20,000 IMIGRANTS TO GET INTO THE USA. WHY IS IT THAT 1 AMERICAN CANT GET TO THE U.K. BUT 20,000 IMIGRANTS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD CAN GET HERE. MAKES NO SENCE. WHERE IT SAYS BRING YOUR TIRED, POOR AND HUNGRY, THE SIGN SHOULD NOW SAY ' NO VACANCY ' . WHAT THE US SPENDS ON AQ AND IRAQ, YOU COULD HAVE GOTTEN EVERY POOR CHILD IN THE USA FEED AND HOUSED. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I WOULD RATHER LIVE IN THE U.K AND IF THE LAW WAS NOT SO HARD TO GET THERE, I WOULD BE ON THE NEXT PLANE OUT OF HERE.

I agree with "Gee"! Bring it on,!

The Congress should only be voting to fund the war, not pull out of war. Once they gave the President the Power to go to war it was out of their hands! They do not have the authority to run this war. That is what the Joint Chiefs is for. They are strategic minded people. Their profession is war! Let them do their jobs. Here is the difference between WWII and Enduring Freedom....

During WWII, All Americans were involved in the war. The women worked in factory's to support the war their men were fighting. Our nation was together!

Today, we are more intersted in our own peon lives than to support our troops. American has outsourced so many companies that our economy, in large, is ran by Technology. We are in the business of data collection. The war will fail without our people, not the government, coming together.

Just remember, we elected these idiots in Congress. If enough people start supporting the war, then they will have to change their stance if they want to be elected again. Their is power in numbers!

Like the Democrates would be doing any better. This is not a Republican/Democrat problem and who would be doing better. Our situation comes from arrogance. The arrogance of political leaders in the past and those in charge of the CIA and FBI. We should clean house, shut our borders, and spend more time protecting ourselves and less time being concerned with other foreign countries.

You tell them Dan. You've got my vote.

Hey "Me." What time Willy spent with Monica? Very little compared to constantly being hauled before a committee about everything the republican's could throw at him. The way I see it is that you guys managed to blow a whole bunch of his time to do this sort of stuff. And now you whine because it's all his fault. Maybe you should have given him a minute to do his job.

Why does AQ need a media wing when all they have to do is get abc news to pass the messages for them>?

As a trained video professional, I have watched these tapes without listening to his babble. It is apparent given the backgrounds they use on these videos that they are in a makeshift studio using chroma keying technology. The room would have to be at least 10 foot wide to accommodate this type of body shot. The software they are using undoubtedly came from Adobe (after effects and ultra). Try following up on the download and shipping list from these companies and see how many went overseas. You could start there.

This guy is not in a cave, he most likely is in an apartment in pakistan or afghanistan.

It's time to shoot the messenger folks. Shut this beanhead up for good!

Leave the door to the hen house open and unguarded and the fox will enter. Our borders should have been secured decades ago. Maybe if the terrorist attack the senate, white house, and capital buildings, our government will wake up.

The terrorist watch the news. They know that it is reported that we are expecting an attack. This code talking is their way to ensure that we continue to chase our tails. When the next attack comes, and I believe it will, we need to evacuate the troops and irradiate large parts of the middle east. Brutality and fear of retribution is what these people understand. Instead of running around putting out fires we need to get the eliminate to people starting them even if innocents die with them. That is the cost of war and I care more about Americans than I do about terrorist or the mothers giving birth to them. I for one have had enough of them and believe that it is time to take the gloves off and do whatever it takes to stop them. We are in a fight not only for our way of life
but for our very lives. The leaders of this country had better step up and do their job or there will be no coutry for them to lead. Eliminate this threat
so that free and peacefull people can be secure.

I'm sure glad our global "war on terror" has been worth the three-quarters of a trillion dollars we've already spent! As you know, WE'RE FIGHTING THEM OVER THERE SO WE DON'T HAVE TO FIGHT THEM OVER HERE. I feel so safe! Excellent use of America's dollars. Can someone actually demonstrate to the American people what good this has all been since 9/11? We'd actually be better off had we done nothing at all.
(Looks like Georgie Boy and Dickie Boy are going to have to come up with a new set of talking points after the next big attack.)

Not wanting to be the bringer of bad tidings the quote " Have I not conveyed? Oh God be my witness" is taken from the last sermon by Mohammed.

On the plus side Mohammed was saying goodbye to his people. Are we closing in on Al Zaharwi. Or have we already captured him and we are about to show him to the world.

Or is he preparing the world with an annoncement that Ozzy Bin Laden is dead?

Oh, and by the way, lets make sure we KEEP ignoring the open border on the entire southern flank of the United States. Terrorists are too stupid to realize they can walk into the country that way. They only think they can come through JFK.

Paul, get your facts straight, man...you're crackin' me up...

MEMRI- Middle East Media Research Institute is a good website that monitors the media from the middle east.

Scared? Read Brotherhood of Darkness by Dr. Stanley Monteith. You will soon understand why we are always fed lies. Not a pleasant revelation, but makes one understand that AQ is minor as far as what we are really up against. Pray. Pray. Pray.

You would think that we have a computer specialist somewhere with a nerd factor high enough to hack and disable their communications. There are 15 year old kids out there that could do it.

Ahh, come on folks, can't we all just get along. Let's gather in a circle and all sing Cumbyaa. Al Gore and about a million others spending resources worrying about Global Warming, heck with AQ coming here we won't be around long enough to even worry. (Poof) end of story. Gene Wood

Palestinian Media Watch monitors the Palestinian media. PMW broke the story about the PA, Hamas version of 'Mickey Mouse'. ABC News is obviously reading PMW and MEMRI's work.

This congress has failed not only the American people, but the entire world. The American people should impeach the all of Congress. Is that even possible? We need a new government, its not just Bush. People need to stop blaming him for every single negative event that happens.

One word..."Armegeddon"

So, if there's a worry that this could be the signal for them to attack us, WHY IS OUR MEDIA REPEATING IT????

If we get hit again - I say we begin Operation Sea of Glass. Enough of this nonsense.

Ya know - Americans aren't opposed to war - they're opposed to losing. Stop hogtying our military and let our full force be unleashed!

AQ is using the same tactics we used in the cold war against the Soviets, they are making us spend money like crazy with al these threats that we will go broke.
