October Surprise – al Qaeda Style
Matt Drudge has broken a story that ABC News has been sitting on an al-Qaeda tape threatening to make American streets “run with blood”. Evidently the nutjob hiding behind a kaffiye is “American” Adam Pearlman aka “Assam the American” aka “Adam-the-self-hating-Jew-like-Noam Chomsky“. An ABC News VP has said that ABC News has held on to the tape until it confirms its authenticity.
Why?
The tape came out of Pakistan, has a threat on it by someone with an American accent. What more do you need to prove?
Al-Qaeda has a long history of empty threats. Here a link going back to Spring ‘02 when we dared them to “bring it on”. It has threatened numerous attacks in the USA, Europe, Iraq and Afghanistan. All for nothing.
Sun Tzu once wrote “a weak adversary threatens, a strong one attacks”. Why not broadcast the threats far and wide?
Unless you were afraid they would influence the election… Of course, ABC News isn’t partisan. Or is it?
