These guys are about as effective as a pair of college geeks with a Vic 20 and Tape Drive. Press Play on Tape Abdula!
If they can do something, they will. I'm guessing they are trying all the time, just not succeding. The will eventually, if they live long enough. They seem to have lost the initiative though.
Why do they keep using this line? I wonder if this is some code for future attacks...maybe car bombs?
It would have been much more effective if he had said, "Americans should return their trays to the locked and upright position."
Abu Zubaydah, when hearing of his colleagues' taunts to American intelligence was quoted as saying:"Hey guys, STFU!! I'M the one with the electrodes on my 'nads and up my *ss!! Now's not the time to taunt them...get me outta here!"
In a related story, John Cleese and Terry Gilliam said they had nothing to do with Al Qaeda press releases.
An Arabic web site recently known as alneeda.com and believed by U.S. officials to have been used by al-Qaeda to deliver messages possibly connected with further attacks, has resurfaced under the name www.drasat.com .
Cyberterrorism expert Ben Venzke told USA Today last week that alneda.com, of which this new site appears to be a duplicate, “is one of the only sites, if not the only site, for statements by al-qaeda and the Taliban.”
The original alneda.com site was pulled after the United States government requested its removal.<> www.drasat.com appears to be located on servers owned by www.liquidweb.com out of Lansing, Michigan. An electronic trace for www,drasat.com listed Ali Al-Ali as a technical contact for the site. Al-Ali did not respond to an e- mail seeking comment.
The site contains a variety of anti-American quasi news and commentaries, including approval of the fires ravaging many parts of America and a prayer that appears to read in part, “Oh god burn on them their houses and (set) their graves (on) fire .” The article continues by saying that there are fires in 19 American states and 1.84 million acres have been burned. Evacuation of cities is possible.”
Note that because this site is in Arabic, this report makes use of a poor but nonetheless still relatively helpful automated Arabic-English translation tool available on line at http://tarjim.ajeeb.com/ajeeb/default.asp?
Another article on the site deals with the background to the American-Muslim conflict and gives the site operators perspective how the conflict is viewed by some radical Muslims. It reads in part, “The crusade that America and the universe ... wage on the islam and the Muslim ... is not a military war ... ... an ... economic ... and political and cultural (war) ... The war is a comprehensive war on all ... levels ... she differs a plenty (from) the previous Moslems wars (such) as the first war of Afghanistan or the Bosnia - Herzegovina war or the war of the first Chechnia and the second or the Palestine war. This war is sensitive and dangerous on the fighters. (It) is a war the enemy entered (into) and consider ... a crucial war.
Another article is titled, “Under the shadow of the spears...” and concerned a paper written by “his eminence Suleiman Boghith and why we fight America.”
It continues (sic) “ the legitimate excuses that break her are in our jihad against the americans and who fill us a certainty and a reassurance in the support of our religion and our creed and we killed a many ... “
Another article contains the following ominous words, “ America against Islam and the Muslim ... the war between the Islam and the hamlet is an eternal war ... she erupted since the era of our father Adam is peace be upon him ... “
One commentary headlined “Testimony to the Taliban” complains about the media treatment of the Taliban. It reads in part, “The western ...and eastern .. media ... (have greatly) deformed and defamed (the) Taliban and described them (in a ) vulgar manner” as hostile and fanatical and people who insult women and humiliate minorities. “
The article continues that while the Taliban is being blamed for the events of 9/11 and that the Afghanistan government has demanded bin Laden so he can be tried in a neutral country there is another more sinister reason for what’s occurring. It’s so “this Islamic state” can be destroyed.
Another controversial site is one apparently operated by the Hamas site at www.qassam.net. One portion of the site at www.qassam.net/tabaro3.htm, contains an appeal for donations to be used for purchase of Kalashnikov guns and bullets “to assist the cause of Jihad and resistance until the occupation is eliminated and every span of the Muslim Palestine is liberated.”
The qassam.net site also contains a heavily trafficed chat room where at the time of a recent visit there were 5,051 members, with 54,403 posts.
Forum subjects available for discussion included the whereabouts of bin Laden, security and Jihad from the Islamic perspective, Palestine the case and the identity and military business. One writer commented that some people are saying bin Laden is in China, others say he is in Iran while others think elsewhere but one thing is certain, that if the American authorities catch up with bin Laden he will be punished.
“In case of bin Laden this punishment will be a certain thing . Then the according to of the American ministry of defence the last videotape offered a strong support to her directed previous accusation against bin Laden in an existence planned to attacks 11 september (sic: automated translation).
Another forum member opined that God helped bin Laden outsmart his enemies and guided his steps to do so, as if he feared death anyway. The comment was followed by some smiley faces.”
A scroll at the end of one area of the forums read (sic) “Their killers the god by your hands torture them and pricks them and supports you against them ... “
Someone else commented that bin Laden is still hiding out in the mountains in Afghanistan and will not surrender. The writer described bin Laden as a “warrior champion” who is just biding his time in the mountains until he gets the help he needs. “Their cunning will not harm him ... We ask god that he lengthens his life.”
The Albuquerque FBI was contacted concerning the discovery of the drasat site.
Makes me think they're really desperate.

If they attack us on Independence Day, we will once again assert our independence -- independence from the Neville Chamberlains in Europe and the United Nations, and from the Joseph Stalins and Adolf Hitlers in the Arab governments.
