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.
“It may be that this new imagery”
It’s not new.
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.
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?
With Pelosi and Reid, the capitol is indeed under attack.
Was I the only one who thought about the many times they ran out of the Capital re: threats?
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.
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....
We may have to cauterize a large portion of the middle east before this is over...
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!
Thats just bumper sticker video
I LOVE YOUR BROTHER! I agree 150%......... Tell him that!
These uneducated sociopaths really need to take some geography lessons.
But only if he makes Washington DC. Boston, Massachusetts, Santa Fe, NM, and all of Caliphony below 750 feet exempt.
