0bama and Hasan, what is that relationship?

0bama knew of him? Knew of him through security briefings?

The very, very odd handling of matters.

Matters are going to be shut down on this. Watch and see.

Incidentally, there’s one other advantage to calling it jihad: doing so really pisses off the liberals.

I was looking at Al-Awlaki’s site yesterday and I remember reading something about his desire for Muslim's to substitute the word "jihad" for "terrorism" and "jihadist" for "terrorist" when they hear it in the media. I honestly don't remember what page I saw it on but I remember making a mental note of it. They are terrorists in my book.
