Al Qaeda in (shithole) Yemen Threatens America


Well, it's been almost three months since the Obama administration cleared the way for al Qaeda-linked, American-born Anwar Al-Awlaki to be targeted for killing and just now, al Qaeda in Yemen has decided to step up to the plate and threaten America over that decision.

From the piece over at The Politico:


In a new audio recording, the leader of the Yemen branch of Al Qaeda has warned Americans they will be harmed by the Obama administration's alleged decision to authorize the assassination of an American-born Islamic cleric linked to the Ft. Hood shooting and attempted Christmas Day airplane terrorism plots.

“The American administration issued a decision to the effect that the heroic, truth-telling preacher Anwar Al-Awlaki, may Allah preserve him, is wanted dead or alive,” Al-Wuhayshi says in the audio recording, a transcript of which was made available by the Washington-based Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) project.

“Obama, through these kinds of decisions, is leading you [the American people] to what will harm you and humble you, and will not benefit your security, which your people has already lost," Al-Wuhayshi says.

“Speak [the truth] to your people, oh Obama,” he continues. “Do not hide from them the magnitude of the danger that will come unexpectedly and that awaits them. Reveal to them the files on the investigations regarding the [terror] cells and the plots that are still ongoing, and the targets that the mujahideen are striving and determined to strike again.”
Now, I don't think too many of us are going to be shaking in our boots over this band of misfits in Yemen mouthing off like this but it does point out exactly what happens when a security issue against islamic terror in America takes hold- every tom, dick and harry band of islamic jihadis comes out of the woodwork to jump on the bandwagon. And at the same time, I have come to the realization that I cannot discount these wild threats like I once used to - let's face it, not many Americans actually thought the Pakistani Taliban actually had a role in the failed Times Square bombing when they took credit for it, only to find out that they did actually orchestrate it.

And what this all means is that the entire safety outlook for America has changed significantly since Barack Hussein Obama took the lead in the country. This is exactly what happens when you take a stance of appeasement. This is what happens when you make Cairo type speeches and seek peace with islamists - they jump on your back like a pride of female lions onto the back of a water buffalo. And this is what happens when the top security people in your country cannot and wil not even use the term "terrorist."

Islamic terrorists understand and respect only one thing - a leader who is ruthless against them and if something doesn't happen to change the American course of action against the horde, we'll be looking at more plots, more terror attempts than you can shake a stick at.

How many Americans feel safer today than they did two years ago? Huh?



Al Qaeda in Yemen issues new warning


In a new audio recording, the leader of the Yemen branch of Al Qaeda has warned Americans they will be harmed by the Obama administration's alleged decision to authorize the assassination of an American-born Islamic cleric linked to the Ft. Hood shooting and attempted Christmas Day airplane terrorism plots.

In the ten minute audio recording, Nasir Abu Basir Al-Wuhayshi, the emir of the Yemen-based Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, pledges that Islamic fighers in Yemen will do everything they can to protect the American-born cleric, Anwar Al-Awlaki.

“The American administration issued a decision to the effect that the heroic, truth-telling preacher Anwar Al-Awlaki, may Allah preserve him, is wanted dead or alive,” Al-Wuhayshi says in the audio recording, a transcript of which was made available by the Washington-based Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) project.

“Obama, through these kinds of decisions, is leading you [the American people] to what will harm you and humble you, and will not benefit your security, which your people has already lost," Al-Wuhayshi says.

“Speak [the truth] to your people, oh Obama,” he continues. “Do not hide from them the magnitude of the danger that will come unexpectedly and that awaits them. Reveal to them the files on the investigations regarding the [terror] cells and the plots that are still ongoing, and the targets that the mujahideen are striving and determined to strike again.”

Born in New Mexico, al-Awlaki, 39, was reportedly in communication with the Nigerian suspect charged with attempting to blow up a Detroit-bound flight on Christmas, and with the army psychiatrist accused of shooting 13 army personnel at Ft. Hood last November.

The New York Times reported last week that the NSC has approved the CIA putting Awlaki on a list of terrorist suspects to be targeted for assassination, despite al-Awlaki being a U.S. citizen.

The Obama administration has requested $150 million in overt security assistance funds to bolster the Sanaa government's fight against Al Qaeda this year.
