:::FreeRepublic's Threat Matrix:::
Critical Threats: Blank When None
Al Qaeda’s Yemen Connection, America and the Global Islamic Jihad

December 30, 2009 — The attempt to destroy Northwest Airlines flight 253 en route from Amsterdam to Detroit on Christmas Day underscores the growing ambition of al Qaeda's Yemen franchise, which has grown from a largely Yemeni agenda to become a player in the global Islamic jihad in the last year. Since merging with the al Qaeda franchise in Saudi Arabia last January and renaming itself Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), it has stepped up operations in Yemen itself, struck into Saudi Arabia, and now operates on the global stage. The weak Yemeni government of President Ali Abdallah Salih, which has never fully controlled the country and now faces a host of growing problems, will need significant American support to defeat AQAP.

Al Qaeda has long been active in Yemen, the original homeland of Osama bin Laden's family, and one of its first major terror attacks was conducted in Aden in 2000, when an al Qaeda cell nearly sank the USS Cole. A year ago, the al Qaeda franchises in Saudi Arabia and Yemen merged after the Saudi branch had been effectively repressed by the Saudi authorities under the leadership of Deputy Interior Minister Prince Muhammad bin Nayif. The new AQAP showed its claws last August, when it almost assassinated the prince with a suicide bomber who had passed through at least two airports on the way to his attempt on Nayif.

(snip)

The attack on the Amsterdam-Detroit flight also shows that al Qaeda remains obsessed with striking the American airline industry, a target it has gone after repeatedly since 1999. If AQAP has now been told by the al Qaeda core leadership to take on the job, we can probably assume that other al Qaeda franchises in North Africa, Iraq, Southeast Asia and elsewhere have also been pressed to attack.

The dirty little...(well, not so little,) secret is that there were MANY Jewish soldiers, including some Rabbis, who could already read and translate Arabic who were not simply pushed, but inceremoniously shoved aside out of fear they would offend muslim sensibilities.
THIS is a fact.

You’re welcome JP. It’s a struggle and age is definitely a factor in the healing, but it’s all about attitude and determination at this point. Again, thanks!

If they were left (as the article states) in places such as restrooms, it's hard to say who has them, but given today's economic world, guns are worth a lot of $$$$ and even if not kept by the finder, can be sold, traded, etc. How would a finder know where the weapon came from?

Mexican gangs taking over America

    Report charts homeland security failures

Illegal border crossing groups are getting bigger

More than three dozen were apprehended together last Tuesday night in the remote desert about 20 miles east of Benson, agent Alex Gomez said. "That's a big group," Gomez said. "We're starting to see this new kind of trend. Last year, we would catch groups of 10 to 20 people." On Feb. 4, a citizen report sparked a series of events culminating in the apprehension of a group of 29 illegal immigrants near the San Pedro River, agent Colleen Agle said.

An example of the type of cases clogging our nation's court system

Police find 6 decapitated people in western Mexico

Snips: Prosecutors say that several of the bodies have a "Z" carved on their backs in an apparent reference to the Zetas drug gang. The Zetas are based is the border state of Tamaulipas across from Texas.

Knowingly associating with an illegal alien

A Customs and Border Protection Officer at JFK Airport, fired for a prohibited association with an illegal alien, could not convince the appeals court to reinstate her. (Olmos v. Department of Homeland Security, C.A.F.C. No. 2010-3009 (nonprecedential), 2/4/10)

Listened to Rusty Humphries last night. Guy named Schultz subbing. Info was suppose to be on site but isn’t. He played some frightening tapes of an interview with some guy who is taking over London with sharia law. Trying to find it somehow, no luck so far

Ladies, if your searching is better than mine, please see if you can find?

He believes in the implementation of Sharia Law throughout the UK, and also marched in protest at the Jyllands-Posten cartoons controversy, following which he was prosecuted for organising an unlawful demonstration. He was also investigated, but not charged, for his 2006 comments regarding Pope Benedict XVI. Choudary has received little support from the mainstream UK Muslim population, and has been largely criticised in the media.

THIS is what happens with PC! THIS is what happens when you allow your city to be taken over by Muslim extremists.
The muslim world population numbers about 1.3-1.5 billion. Even if say only 10% were extremists, are you willing to let that percentage continue to try to enforce sharia law on America?! That’s a frightening number to contend with!

And THIS is precisely WHY London is under sharia law!

JustPiper,

I wrote that only partially tongue-in-cheek, based on the absurdities and Jihadi allegiances of those ostensibly paid to protect America, and based on real current events.

It is only a slight exaggeration of the current predicament we as Americans currently face.

If I read the exact story I wrote tomorrow, I wouldn’t be at all surprised.

The Government (Executive, DoD) but especially the “intelligence” agencies are so fully compromised from the top down, there is a special conference today to address this very fact: http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2010/02/freedom-deefense-initiative-at-cpac-jihad-political-third-rail-what-they-are-not-telling-you.html

I’m following this closely as they are the canary in the coal mine.

Long ago it was said during the ‘end times’ white would be black, good would be evil, truth would be a lie, etc. I believe we are in those times - where truth and fiction and satire are virtually indistinguishable.

At least I’m old enough to have seen America as a free country, not infiltrated with traitors at every level - and to have rubbed shoulders with ‘the greatest generation’.

A peaceful and jihadi-free weekend to you.

-Moe

I do fear one day our laws and other nations will cease to be imortant even to us as the muslims use and abuse them so..and that we’ll figure if our laws don’t apply to foreigners than we will not abide either...then we’ll see the clashes esculate to violence..and the muslims will rejoice in the shed blood... just as they have for centuries.
