Current Events » in reply to Osama or Not, U.S. to Take Threat Seriously, Prez Says . . .

Re: The media -- again, or still . . . ?

The prez says:
“We are looking at this latest tape. Our experts are analyzing the voice content. And we'll let them speak about whether it's him or not. Nevertheless, the contents of the tape, the message is a serious message. And it reminds -- should remind all of America, and remind our friends and allies, that there is an active enemy that continues to hate, is willing to use murder as a way to achieve their goals.

“Whoever put this tape out has put the world on notice yet again that we're at war, and that we need to take these messages very seriously, and we will. We'll take them seriously here at home by working with the appropriate authorities to deal with threats. And we'll take them seriously abroad by continuing our hunt. We'll chase these people down, one at a time. It doesn't matter how long it takes, we'll find them and bring them to justice.”

...and the headlines run the gamut, from “IT’S HIM!! IT’S HIM!!” to “Yet another warning.”
