CAIRO, Egypt Al Qaeda's deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahiri issued a new videotape Saturday along with a man identified as an American member of the terror network, inviting Americans to convert to Islam.
The 41-minute video, posted on an Islamic militant Web site nine days before the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks, had footage of al-Zawahri and a man the video identified as Adam Yehiye Gadahn, an American who the FBI believes attended Al Qaeda training camps in Pakistan and served as an Al Qaeda translator.
Gadahn and al-Zawahiri did not appear together in the footage but were each featured on a split screen. Both wore white turbans and robes.

As noted on a web site I just read, he went from slitting the throats of goats with his father to a group that slits the throats of people.
Perhaps we should try to find him and release him at Ground Zero.

The important piece to this puzzle is that apparently Adam the Azz was given the job of recruiting within the U.S., so one has to wonder if this is a two-sided video- one: to satisfy their requirement to call us to Islam, and two: to give a signal to cells in the U.S. to act.
To: SE Mom
Yes, he did. Thanks for asking.

There is a book:
Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left (Hardcover)
by David Horowitz
*********************************
******************************************************
Communism is dead. Long live Islam!, September 30, 2004
It sounds absurd: why would Leftists make common cause with a religion that is diametrically opposed to everything the Left stands for? David Horowitz explains that it is really quite logical given the Left's first principle: America is evil and anything or anyone opposed to America is good.
Part I of the book is a brief history of 9/11 through the end of major combat operations in Iraq, and the Left's behavior during this time. Horowitz includes the reaction of Katha Pollitt of The Nation magazine: "The flag stands for vengeance, and jingoism, and war." Anthropology Professor Nicholas De Genova of Columbia University said he hoped for "a million Mogadishus." His colleagues objected, not to the despicable sentiment, but because of the bad publicity it brought their "teach-in." Our tax dollars at work!
Part II is the heart of the book: a history of the American and international Left. Horowitz calls them Neo-Communists or Neocoms. The Neocoms of old believed in the Soviet Union the way religious people believe in God. Those who spied for the USSR didn't see themselves as traitors to their country, but rather loyalists to humanity and an ideal of America that's never existed. When the Soviet Union fell, a few of them stopped for some introspection but most pressed on as if nothing happened. Communist historian Eric Hobsbawm put it nicely: "Without the Revolution, my life and my work are meaningless."
Now that they no longer have to defend an indefensible regime, modern Neocoms are simply nihilists. They know what they oppose but they have no plans for the aftermath of the revolution which they still believe will happen. They don't know what they want, but they know what they hate: the United States, capitalism personified.
So why are they allying with radical Islam? Horowitz says that the Neocoms still believe in Marx's dictum that "religion is the opiate of the masses." Once private property is abolished, the need for religion will vanish, and Islamic radicals will stop being Islamic and radical. The only thing standing in the way is the United States.
Sound insane? It is. They are. I highly recommend this book. Horowitz makes the insanity understandable.

And all those other anarchists who march against America are fertile ground for evil seedlings.
I'm really getting sooooo sick of this....

I'm trying to remain calm here - hah-hah.
The left is constantly demonstrating that they will DO anything to get power. It sickens me.
They treat it like a game or something...and I do question their patriotism.

All evil muslims surround themselves with children and women for protection. The good news is that because his wife is a Paki, she and the children can be used during CIA interrogations once he is captured.
Just like they used KSM's wife and kids (along with some waterboarding) during interrogations to get KSM to finally spill his guts.

OMG Laverne - I saw that!
It made me so angry I hollered at the tv. I hollered so loud it woke up the dog - (I hate it when I do that)
The pubbie was on fire! The dem looked wet behind the ears and was a bubble head. That deal with Pelosi and Reid should be interesting. I bet they are in rewrite after hearing the tape...
Arnaud De Borchgraves on FNC now - he's a schmuck. IMO

Reminds me of that movie Martin Mull was in about California yuppies where he said, "This is serious; she took the Cruisinart." Don't know if I'm the first (wanted to be sure I remembered!) but the movie was titled "Serial" ... and it was spot on!
To: Howlin
Yeah... I noticed in that piece I read that he is probably an evil Jooooow by birth and merely changed his name.
I wonder how that sounds to his Islamofascist handlers??
