Al Qaeda's American-born spokesman appeared in a new video Sunday, the Associated Press reports, calling Barack Obama "devious, evasive and serpentine" and rattling off a laundry list of the terror group's conditions for peace with America.
Adam Gadahn, who is wanted by the U.S. government for treason, called on Obama to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq and Afghanistan, end support for Israel, cease involvement in the affairs of Muslims, and free Muslim prisoners, reports the AP -- the same demands Al Qaeda made in 2007 to President George W. Bush.
CNN reports that the terrorist mouthpiece had harsh words for Obama in the 24 minute message, calling him "nothing more than another treacherous, bloodthirsty and narrow-minded American war President."
Gadahn also warned Sunday of future attacks that would kill more Americans than before. "It becomes crystal-clear that we haven't even begun to even the score," he said, according to the AP. "Next time, we might not show the restraint and self-control we have shown up until now."
In the taunting video, which was posted on militant websites, Gadahn slammed Obama for his slipping approval ratings at home and even criticized him for the Democrats' loss of the Massachusetts Senate seat to Republicans. Wearing a white robe and turban, CNN reports, Gadahn told the President, "You're no longer the popular man you once were."
"As you slither snakelike into the second year of your reign as a purported President of change, you are fighting, your hands full, with running the affairs of a declining and besieged empire."

(Reuters) - Around 25 former detainees from Guantanamo Bay camp returned to militancy after going through a rehabilitation program for al Qaeda members in Saudi Arabia, a Saudi security official said on Saturday.

The clock is ticking and the nuclear war is in sight..............There Will Be War
The clock is ticking and the lives of hundreds of thousands--if not millions--are at stake. Now is the time to pursue all non-violent approaches: cut all diplomatic ties, expel Iranian officials and openly support the people of Iran. Only with international support will Iran's people be emboldened to rebel and will regime loyalists abandon ship. The desire to overthrow the regime is already so great within Iran that this alone could be enough to lead to successful rebellion.
Meanwhile, the Obama administration has ordered a massive buildup of U.S. forces in the Persian Gulf starting with Carrier Strike Group 10, headed by the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier. Just last Friday an armada of more than 12 U.S. and Israeli warships passed through the Suez canal amid extreme security provided by Egypt. The ships are headed for the Red Sea and from there to the Persian Gulf. Another four U.S. warships will be making their way to the region to join the Strike Group. The Americans have also conducted joint air and naval strike practices with France and the U.K. under the command of American forces, while Germany is sending warships to the area, also under the command of American forces.
Both Israel and the U.S. have positioned nuclear-armed submarines in the region. Israel has conducted multiple tests on its missile defense systems to protect its citizens once war breaks out. U.S. and Israeli Special Forces have been deployed inside Iran to investigate potential targets and gauge the willingness of Iranians to overthrow the current regime.

The US Preparing For "The Total Destruction Of Iran?"

s war just around the corner? While in theory it would make perfect sense to distract Americans from the long road to US insolvency, and other more pressing issues such as the endless criminality all around us, in practice we have so far heard merely rumors. The Herald of Scotland, however, may have credible proof that a US-led attack on Iran approaches and could be just days away. The newspaper has procured proof of an arms shipment to Diego Garcia, which consists of "of 195 smart, guided, Blu-110 bombs and 192 massive 2000lb Blu-117 bombs...put in place for an assault on Iran’s controversial nuclear facilities." Additional insight comes from Dan Plesch, director of the Centre for International Studies and Diplomacy at the University of London: “They are gearing up totally for the destruction of Iran. US bombers are ready today to destroy 10,000 targets in Iran in a few hours." Is war imminent? And will Obama repeat Bush's mistake with Iraq, resulting in a huge spike in oil, coupled with a rush to safety in dollars and/or gold? If inflation will not start on its own, its has to be kindled: preferably by a Blu-117 bomb. Is the relatively long period of market stability and low volatility about to come to a sudden end?
Unless someone is playing a dirty joke on us, this could realy upset our country and take down what money we have left. Nobody but the people in the gulf will be worried about the oil washing up on shore.
I heard last winter that thier not sending 4,000 troops, but 8,000, and now we know why.
Dang, he sure NAILED IT there.
Give that man a nice cold glass of camel's milk and put it on my tab!!
It would be interestting to know how many of those ex-Guantanamo victims were militant BEFORE they were kidnapped and tortured.
I bet 24 of them only became militant AS A RESULT of their detention.
I doubt that VERY much. A nuclear vessel would require a degree of professional maintenance & access to parts WAAAAAaaaaay beyond the capability of these douchebags.
Now a STANDARD DIESEL engine submarine, THAT I envision as possible. Although the likelyhood that they'd sink THEMSELVES before sinkong others is probably 50-50.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But on any given dark rainy night, if you had to choose between giving a ride to him OR to ex-gov Rod Blagojevich, who would YOU choose?
I know, he'll need to take off that turban for some headroom, huh?
I RESPECT him about as much as I respect Barack Huseein Obama. However I SYMPATHIZE with his cause a whole lot MORE than I do with the Obankster's.
