Don't Be Misled: ISIS Is Al-Qaida
Investors.com ^ | September 4, 2014

War On Terror: Still suspending disbelief that al-Qaida is as dead as Osama bin Laden, President Obama insists that the Islamic State, aka ISIS, is not al-Qaida. In fact, they're the same terrorist group.

The president would have us believe the "barbaric" terror group controlling large swaths of Iraq and Syria just popped up out of nowhere to decapitate Americans and threaten the world. But U.S. intelligence agents know better, and so does the man they brief.

"The Islamic State is al-Qaida," asserted famed former federal terrorist prosecutor Andrew C. McCarthy. "It is the evolution of the ruthless al-Qaida division that grew up in Iraq under Abu Musab al-Zarqawi."

Indeed, it turns out that the Islamic State insisted on trading the American journalist hostages they eventually beheaded for Aafia Siddiqui. "Lady al-Qaida," as she's known, is a top al-Qaida operative related to 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Freeing her from U.S. prison was a top priority of al-Qaida's leadership.

"You were given many chances to negotiate the release of your people via cash transactions as other governments have accepted," the Islamic State said of U.S. authorities last month. "We have also offered prisoner exchanges to free the Muslims currently in your detention, like our sister Dr. Aafia Siddiqui. However, you proved very quickly to us that this is not what you are interested in."

The Obama administration declined to consider either option, and the American photojournalist James Foley was beheaded.

Use their religion against them.

We are a secular nation and their liberal sympathizes cannot have any issue with using their religion against them.

It will compel the “ moderate” Muslims to work with us.

Target Sunni Muslim holy sites , use General Pershings methods on all Muslim fighters we kill in battle.

Bury them with one pound of bacon placed in their mouths, after spraying their bodies and parts with lard.

Use fire tanker planes to drench Sunni holy sites and cemeteries with pig lard.

True that. I can think of a few others that would include General Patton.

Gang bangers are gang bangers no matter what color they wear or even if they wear no colors at all.

Literally translated Al Qaeda means “The Base.”

Al Qaeda provided monies, propaganda, and technical support for the various Islamic terrorist groups throughout the world.

Obama, along with the MSM and the LIV have made the mistake of thinking that the killing of Bin Laden meant the demise of Al Qaeda....it didn’t.

Al Qaeda still provides the functions for various terrorist groups it did during Bin Laden’s life.

Other than on the matter of who should be the leader of the caliphate, there is no practical disagreement within Islam.

Who cares if it is Al-Qaeda, ISIS, Boko Haram, Hamas, Hezbollah or anything else?

The least common denominator and guiding principle is Islam.

Not militant Islam, not misguided Islam, not radical Islam but simply run-of-the-mill, muzzie Islam.

Well-stated, Uncle Miltie. We really are that deceived/ignorant. Our own government is part of the deception.
