New al Qaeda Tapes Feature U.S. Capitol Under 'Attack'

Al Qaeda has a new opening graphic for its propaganda tapes: the U.S. Capitol under "attack."

"The Islamic State of Iraq...March Toward Washington" reads the headline in English superimposed over a digitally created scene of the U.S. Capitol under attack in the introductory sequence of one tape released on the Internet this week.

Another from al Qaeda's "as Sahab" production arm announces "Holocaust of the Americans in the Land of Khorasan" and shows an image of the U.S. Capitol to introduce a short clip of al Qaeda fighters.

"This is a disturbing new trend," says Laura Mansfield, an Arabic expert who monitors jihadi videos on the Internet.

"Recall that in January 2006, Osama Bin Laden said that plans for attacks in the U.S. were in progress," Mansfield told the Blotter on ABCNews.com. "It may be that this new imagery is designed to motivate terrorist activity in the U.S., but it is certainly intended as a recruiting tool and perhaps intended to reassure al Qaeda's jihadi followers they haven't forgotten their goal of an al Qaeda attack on Washington, D.C.," she said.

Meanwhile we have a Presidential candidate saying it's a bumper sticker joke.

“It may be that this new imagery”

It’s not new.

[edcoil]

It’s a free country, anyone can grow up to be President and I am proud of that fact.

The fact also is that America will never vote for him to President as well.

[Dilbert San Diego]

yep, John Edwards doesn’t take any of this seriously. That makes it hard to take him seriously as a presidential candidate, doesn’t it?

[SlowBoat407]

With Pelosi and Reid, the capitol is indeed under attack.

[AliVeritas]

Was I the only one who thought about the many times they ran out of the Capital re: threats?

[Busywhiskers]

If the old middle eastern saying is true that “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” then it seems odd that al Qaeda would use the US Capital as a target for attack. The most effective allies they have in world are in the US Congress.

My brother (USAF ret.) recently wrote me an e-mail and had this to say :

GB needs to go on television, tonight, and say in graphic terms, something like:
“Listen up, you sons of bitches. If we even find out that you are trying to smuggle a nuclear weapon into the US, you devout believers in Mecca better bend over, put your head between your knees and kiss your collective asses goodbye. In case the fact has escaped you, we are the one nuclear superpower in this world. Get use to it. So, those of you who are financing these shitheads better pull their financial plug before they, and you, become responsible for destroying all that is holy to Moslems. This is not a threat; it is a promise that you can count on, and you won’t have to wait long. Twenty five miles on either side of the current borders with Syria and Iran are now a “no move zone”. Anything moves, it gets blown up, shot or otherwise made inanimate. Have a nice day. “

Illegal aliens?

Brother J, looking for the original. (Hey, it’s the Blotter)

Republicans beware if you suddenly find a work day that no Dems are showing up in the Capital you better run....

[Edgerunner]

We may have to cauterize a large portion of the middle east before this is over...

[bcsco]

"This is a disturbing new trend," says Laura Mansfield, an Arabic expert who monitors jihadi videos on the Internet.

The only thing new about it is that they're videoing their hopes. Otherwise, it's business as usual.

I love these people who downplay the facts. Well, no I don't!

[shoedog]

Thats just bumper sticker video

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Meanwhile, 25 percent of the Muzzies in the US have no problem with suicide bombings.

[JFC]

I LOVE YOUR BROTHER! I agree 150%......... Tell him that!

[jpl]

Khorasan is located in northeast Iran.

These uneducated sociopaths really need to take some geography lessons.

[rocksblues]

I agree with your brothers sentiment. But of course we as a civilized people could not say that. We will do it though!

[thiscouldbemoreconfusing]

If your brother runs for president, I'll send him a check.

But only if he makes Washington DC. Boston, Massachusetts, Santa Fe, NM, and all of Caliphony below 750 feet exempt.

[Osage Orange]

What do they have pictures of Pelosi, Jon Carry, and the Pretty Pony advancing on the Capital?

[JFC]

But only if he makes Washington DC. Boston, Massachusetts, Santa Fe, NM, and all of Caliphony below 750 feet exempt.

Add Austin Tx to that list. I agree with you all the way to the bank!

[Jeff Head]

Here's the image.

[misharu]

Is anyone up to digitally re-master the middle east to either a glass factory or a parking lot?

[johnny7]

Meanwhile we have a Presidential candidate saying it's a bumper sticker joke.

It's worse than that... the term War on Terror has been struck from the Dhimmicrat dictionary.

[txroadkill]

Meanwhile, 25 percent of the Muzzies in the US have no problem with suicide bombings.

I saw that article too and it is pure BS. It should have been tittled "75% of the US Population of Musslims are liars".

[Lx]

Jeez, whose doing their graphics, Ed Wood? I could do better with MS Paint.

[tiredoflaundry]

Now wait one minute........... John Edwards said..........jeez

[jveritas]

The arabic writing in the picture says “There is no god but Allah and Muhamad is the messenger of Allah”.

[cripplecreek]

Jihadi porn.

[MD_Willington_1976]

Did they steal the scene of the Whitehouse from the movie ID4 Where space aliens blew it up...?

[rocksblues]

Amazing take on the Muzzie Pole. My wife is a dyed and true Democrat and most of her customers are the same. “IE FDR, HT and JFK”. They all tell her that the next attack will not come from outside the US but from within.

[rocksblues]

I like the image of the Jihadist with the rocket launcher! LOL

[rocksblues]

Porn! I was watching a show on the military channel this weekend. Marines on patrol in Iraq. One Marine says to the camera, these guys are not religious, all they what to see is the porn we have on our PC’s. LOL

[DuncanWaring]

Is anyone up to digitally re-master the middle east to either a glass factory or a parking lot?

Close enough?

[The Blitherer]

They could probably get Hollywood to do their next video for them for free if they wanted.

[Lx]

I think the only font they didn’t use was wingdings although the islamic scribbling looks like it.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

It won’t be over till will find every last rabid dog and kill them. It’s going to take far longer than anyone realizes. I wonder if the radical socialist left has the stomach to endure?

[MeanWestTexan]

I am curious why the jihadists would want to attack the organization that continuously gives them aid and support (Congress).

[processing please hold]

We may have to cauterize a large portion of the middle east before this is over...

I got no problem with that.

[apocalypto]

John Edwards is a coward along with Hillary Clinton and Barak Hussein Obama. The three stooges who feared to debate on FNC.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Listen you elected representatives! They’re after you! It won’t matter how much you give them concessions. No matter how much foreign aid you piddle-away in their countries. It won’t matter how much you trash Christianity. Nothing you do will appease them!
You have to block their entry into the USA! Got it? Anyone from countries with a population that hates us, nobody gets into the USA. Is that simple enough for you?

[anoldafvet]

Beautiful!!!!

[jonascord]

I'm not sure that US muzzies are completely aware of what WILL happen if some of their fellow believers get caught with a nuke, or worse, pickle one off on US soil.

I strongly suspect that they will all fondly wish that they only were rounded up and interned at Manzanar.

[Steve_Seattle]

"I wonder if the radical socialist left has the stomach to endure?"

In a word, "No." They hate Bush and Cheney and Jerry Falwell far more than they hate Bin Ladin. In fact, they don't hate OBL at all - they kind of admire him.

[TomGuy]

They can’t do that!!!

That would make CAIR whine.

We couldn’t have that. We don’t want to upset CAIR.

[/s]

[Names Ash Housewares]

Silly MSM.
It’s always been a target.

[Jeff Head]

Yea...it looks more like Ted Kennedy did a belly-flop in a fountain in front of the capitol than some kind of terror attack...err, well.

[Beckwith]

Another from al Qaeda's "as Sahab" production arm ...

Osama? Osama? Ollie, ollie, entre ...

(Buster): Hey, Butchie, you seen Osama?

(Butch): No, man -- ain't seen Osama In three or four years.

(Buster): WTF, he was no fun anyway -- always with that jihad stuff!

(Butch): Never got laid -- wome would RUN in the other direction.

(Buster): Even when they found out he was a gazillionaire?

(Butch): No, man, he was always with that jihad stuff and didn't think women could ever replace his good left hand.

(Buster): Funny guy?

(Butch): I think he's dead.

(Buster): Hand me another rib and a cold one . . .

[Jeff Head]

If some of them ever start doing it...they will find that the American general population is not nerly so soft or allowing as they imagine.
