Qaeda's Zawahri dismisses Obama, U.S. still enemy 03 Feb 2009 20:31:39 GMT Source: Reuters DUBAI, Feb 3 (Reuters) - Al Qaeda's deputy leader dismissed U.S. President Barack Obama's expression of concern over killings in Gaza as an empty gesture on Tuesday and said Washington remains a main enemy of Muslims.

"I remind our mujahideen brothers that our enemy in Gaza is not only Israel but the Zionist-crusader coalition, with America, the leader of evil ... at its head," Ayman al-Zawahri said in an audio recording posted on Islamic websites.

"Obama said he was concerned about the killings of civilians in Gaza. We thank Mr. Obama for his concern which we received with thousands of shells and ... white phosphorous," Zawahri said, referring to Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip.

"But Obama's concern did not seem to last long as he did not say a word about Gaza in his inauguration speech, as if nothing had happened," he added.

"The Zionist-crusader (Israeli-Western) campaign against Is lam and the Muslims cannot be defeated without warfare," Zawahri said, calling the devout to join a jihad (holy war).

Ooops! No hugs from Al Qaeda for us! This "new direction" gig doesn't seem to be going as planned. However, I still think that I'm "a nice person" although I do have a 9-12-01 mindset. LOL!!!!

Sure he does. He hopes to change American into a nation that kneels five times a day facing Mecca.

By any means necessary.

You mean they aren't taking Barry up on his diplomatic overtures?

Zawahiri is absolutely correct. We are his enemy. We oppose everything he stands for.

Well, I’ll be darned you looney left. Guess your little theory of “If we get a President that wants to WORK with the muslim murderers, they’ll like us and not want to kill us”.

Hate to tell you, but that logic only works on Dora the Explorer and Dragon tales.

Oh, Come on! Just talk to us. Give BO a chance. He is already reaching out to you Peaceloving T errorists. He did an interview and almost apologized to you on behalf of America. He is writing a nice letter to you. It’s not fair for you to ridicule him yet. He hasn’t even been given a chance to show you how appeasing he can be. He’s the great Uniter.

I wonder if the collective Left reaction will be:

We are so surprised at this reaction! We asked so nicely! We can’t believe they responded this way!

We all know Al Qaeda’s reactions were only caused by the war mongering, imperialistic, fear inducing Bush administration. The real reason Al Qaeda hates us is because of Iraq. All we need to do is treat them with kindness and they will return in kind!

It must still be Bush’s fault.

But will the mainstream media report any negative comments on Obama coming from the Moslem world? It would just be too discordant with their bright hopey changey fantasy world.

BO as in bad BO? I remember in 8th grade we had a kid that refused to take showers, and smelt pretty rank. We called him bad bad BO because his name was Barry Owens... AKA Body Odor! I’m thinking that Obama is starting to release a slow and sullen stench from his so far horrible decisions. The decisions he makes will have a lasting horrible smell over America. Releasing terrorist from gitmo back to their home nations and telling the American people that he can’t guarantee they will not be mounting attacks again is paramount to cowardice, it just plain stinks.

“It must still be Bush’s fault.”

Of course it’s Bush’s fault. Everything that goes wrong from now until the end of time is his fault. On the NY Daily News website there are posts by various people blaming Bush for Dasshole’s non payment of taxes.

Yes, and everytime they come up on a troll on a bridge, or a mean creature, all they have to do is be nice to him and he will magically become their ‘friend’ and never again be mean.

It is stupid and childish for adults to act this way and I always remind my kids when that crap comes on that if someone is mean to you, AVOID THEM. Don’t try to “CHANGE” them.

Maybe my way is cynical, but at least I don’t think that murderers who think killing me gets them into heaven will all of a sudden have a change of heart because we opened “dialogue” with them.
