A last ditch desperate attempt?

A video has appeared that threatens the US, but is considered a hoax by many. Yet, a big deal is being made about this in the news. Talk about jumping to conclusions without any facts! Interesting timing on this, isn't it?

From FoxNews.com:
"New video threatens US - watch chilling tape"

From CNN.com:
"CIA can't authenticate alleged al Qaeda tape"

Hmmm...."fair and balanced" anyone? Maybe hoping that people will forget everything that has happened this week? Though maybe this person is threatening us with the munitions that we have lost?!
