Another Election Season - Another Osama Tape

Right on cue, the news media is playing another Osama bin Laden video. The Boston Globe reports: CAIRO, Egypt --Al-Jazeera broadcast Thursday a previously unshown video of the preparations for the Sept. 11 attacks, in which al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden is seen meeting with some of the planners in an Afghan mountain camp. The station said that bin Laden also is shown greeting some of the hijackers, although their faces were not clear and it was not immediately known which are purportedly shown. The video included the last wills and testaments of hijackers Wail al-Shehri and Hamza al-Ghamdi. Why am I not surprised a video surfaces right at the time both Bush and Tony Blair are in trouble with their citizens? It is being reported in Britain that Tony the lap-dog intends on leaving office within the next year, and of course we all know the status of King George in the polls. Right now it's all terror all the time on the network and cable news shows, and it has been announced on NBC that Dick (Darth Vader) Cheney will be the guest on Meet The Press this coming Sunday. This comes conveniently right on the heels of King George himself giving an interview to Katie Couric Thursday evening on CBS News broadcast. I'm sure we can expect more of the same right up until November.
