The Taliban’s Continued Foreign Support
By Douglas Farah
Little noticed in the discussion of the Pakistan/Afghanistan Taliban issues are the points raised recently by Gen. David Petraeus about the continued use of charities and other external support for the radical Islamist group.
While there has been considerable attention paid to the revenue generated from opium trafficking in the Taliban’s financial structure, little has been relatively little attention paid to the continuing role of charities in skimming off money that benefits the Taliban and others.

Al-Qaeda spreads its tentacles
KHOST, Afghanistan - Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaeda network is seizing a greater role behind the scenes in Afghanistan and Pakistan in an effort that could block the Barack Obama administration’s stated goal of denying the terror network sanctuary in South Asia.
A three-month investigation of al-Qaeda’s activities, from Nuristan in the north to Paktika in the southeast, suggests that bin Laden’s terror network - working through Afghan and Pakistani partners - is present in almost every Afghan and Pakistani province along the fluid border areas between the two countries.

Liberty County Sheriffs officials are expected to meet with the FAA on Tuesday to discuss what a Continental Express pilot reported as a missile or rocket flying near his airplane.
A pilot reported to the Federal Aviation Administration that at about 8:15 p.m. Friday, an object passed within 150 feet beneath the aircraft, sheriffs officials said.
The aircraft was near the southern edge of the county, flying at about 13,000 feet, officials said.
The pilot, from what we understand, was former military. He was able to get the coordinates down real quick, said Cpl. Hugh Bishop with the Liberty County Sheriffs Department.
Sheriffs deputies searched Friday night for signs of evidence where a missile might have been launched or landed.
We couldnt find anything, Bishop said.
WOWsers!

Missile Possibly Launched in Liberty County
HOUSTON - A missile may have just barely miss hitting a Continental Airlines flight on Friday.
Liberty County sheriff deputies are meeting with the FBI and FAA to discuss this incident.
Sheriff deputies say on Friday a missile may have been launched near Interstate 10 and mount Belview. A continental flight which had just taken off from Bush Intercontinental Airport may have been the target.
“If it was done deliberately, how much more dangerous can you get?” said Chief Deputy Ken DeFoor with the Liberty County Sheriff’s Department. He went on to explain, “It was less than a hundred feet from the airplane itself, going underneath the cockpit of the airplane.”....

Obama added What I try to make, is to create a better dialogue so that the Muslim world can better include/understand how the United States, but more generally the western world, conceives certain difficult problems, such as terrorism or democracy.

Al Qaeda deputy criticizes Obama’s Egypt trip
On the eve of President Obama’s highly anticipated speech to the Muslim world, al Qaeda’s second-in-command issued an audio statement saying the president of the United States is not welcome in Egypt.
Ayman al-Zawahiri says President Obama has already made himself an enemy of Muslims.
Obama is traveling to the Middle East in an effort to repair a damaged U.S. image and reset relations with the Islamic world. But the terrorist network’s deputy leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, said those relations cannot be mended as long as the administration maintains its alliance with Israel.
In a message called “Tyrants of Egypt and America’s agents welcome Obama” that was posted on Islamist Web sites, al-Zawahiri once again lashed out at the United States. Obama’s message to the Muslim world, he said, has already been delivered with his support for “Zionist aggression.”
“The White House declared that Obama will send a message from Egypt to the Islamic world but they forget that his messages were already received when he visited the Western Wall and wore the Jewish yarmulke and when he prayed their prayers,” al-Zawahiri said in the 10-minute audio message.
Al-Zawahiri said Obama had already made himself an enemy of Muslims by sending more soldiers to Afghanistan, ordering bombings in the tribal areas of Pakistan and administering a “bloody campaign against Muslims” in Pakistan’s Swat Valley.

Does it seem to everyone else that things are spinning out of control?
Reuters: Bin Laden tells Americans to prepare to receive the consequences of White House policies
?? That’s all I could find for the moment
I guess bl doesn’t like b0’s ideas??
AFP: Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden has issued a new audiotape in which he takes aim at Barack Obama’s policy towards the Islamic world.
In the tape he says 0bama pressed Pakistan in SWAT crackdown.
Shortly after Obama arrived Al Jazeera television aired a recording by al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in which he said the U.S. president had planted seeds for “revenge and hatred” toward the United States in the Muslim world.
Bin Laden said Obama was continuing in the steps of his predecessor George W. Bush and told Americans to be prepared for the consequences of the White House’s policies.
Obama, whose father was a Muslim and who lived in Indonesia as a boy, is trying to repair a U.S. image badly damaged by Bush’s wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the treatment of U.S. military detainees.
