CNN is reporting a new press release obtyained by Al Jazeera in which new threats are made against Washington DC and New York. Anderson Cooper of CNN was interviewing the AJ reporter who believed the 6 page statement to be credible and certainly from a senior Al Qaeda member, possibly the official Al Qaeda press office. The message threatened attacks unless the US stops supporting Israel.

Al Qaeda has an official press office?

Several, actually: ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, the New York Times, The Washington Post...

The only reason why any Iraqi children may have died of hunger or poor health is that Saddam has been spending all his oil money on weapons, instead of on food and medicine. Iraq has been getting plenty of money for its oil.

Fouda, speaking by telephone from London, said the statement called on Americans to stop supporting Israel and other governments that "oppress" Muslims or face more attacks. The statement also called on Americans to convert to Islam, he said.

At least we know what they want us to do.

And Saddam offering 3.5 billion to Lybia for sanctuary if America attacks is sort of a give away.

Wasn't that how Binalshibh was captured?

[OldFriend]

And they are killing Christians in Indonesian and threatening to kill the Pope because?????????????

[Chad Fairbanks]

YOu nailed it. :0)

[Maelstrom]

"Fouda"

For some reason when I read it I saw "Fonda" until the 3rd time or so...and didn't even blink...

[OldFriend]

I just love their position........agree with us or we'll kill you..........

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

Exactly!

[AmericaUnited]

My point being, the fact they they "threaten" is no longer "news".

Agree. My response to their never-ending threats is
YAWN...

[Mr. Mojo]

I think I've just joined the "Nuke Mecca" gang.

Welcome aboard.

[ladyinred]

Yeh right, I'm going right out and buy some material to make a burga....

Make me one too will ya? I can't even sew on a button, oh, I guess they don't have buttons on them do they? :-)

[daviddennis]

Not to mention the 'Mother of all Battles Mosque'. That was a billion dollar project right there.

D

[Maelstrom]

Make sure our position is clear too:

"Leave us alone or we'll kill you."

[concerned about politics]

You could throw a sheet over your head and feel your way around. I think they'll accept the effort, don't you? They might even like your idea better!

[putupon]

new Al Qaeda threat against NYC and DC

when did the old threats expire?

[Gritty]

more attacks in New York and Washington unless America stops supporting Israel and converts to Islam

Stopping support of Israel we could conceivably do. But converting to Islam? Never! Start sharpening the broadswords, boys, this Crusade is going to be serious. Why, even Liberals would go to war over that one!

On second thought, Liberals are more likely to get in a snit about it, protest loudly, whine louder and sue. But, that's progress for the our side, I suppose. At least they're less likely to stab us in the backs.
