AL-QAEDA has urged its fighters to greet US President George Bush with "bombs and booby-trapped vehicles" when he visits the Middle East this week.
In a new video, Adam Gadahn, the organisation's American spokesman, tore up his US passport as part of a "symbolic" protest which marked the terror network's first message of 2008.

"Now we direct an urgent call to our militant brothers in Muslim Palestine and the Arab peninsula ... to be ready to receive the crusader slayer Bush in his visit to Muslim Palestine and the Arab peninsula with bombs and booby-trapped vehicles," he said.

Mr Bush is scheduled to arrive in Israel on Wednesday for a trip that will also bring him to the West Bank, Kuwait, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

The most "efficient" thing about terrorism is that the "threat" is often enough. The Dakar rally was canceled because of the "threat".

Al Qaeda just need to issue a threat and then watch the West scurry around in a panic.

We cannot allow this to happen. The Bush visit must go on. The Dakar rally should have gone on. We cannot allow the terrorists to win!

Can someone tell me if crackpots such as Adam Gadahn have any useful comments to make on the positive contributions Al Qaeda can make to the cause of world peace? Or indeed if he has any harsh words for the murderous "insurgents" floating around Iraq blowing up markets and mosques...filled with errr loads of muslim civilians trying to go about their normal lives? Or does he follow the typical absurd terrorist line that these indiscriminate attacks are either (a) aimed at americans or (b) the work of Zionist spies?
The war was a mistake, the post war vaccuum, a disaster. But, as the old saying goes, we are where we are, and perhaps Al Qaeda should just butt out if they have nothing better to offer than a perversion of Islam that encourages its zombie like followers to behave like beasts.
I do hope we stand firm against these totalitarian monsters. No-one would wish to live under their rule.

At last sense .......... this needs to be highlighted and advertised more. Trouble is everyone is scared to state the TRUTH, there are already Muslim enclaves, where non Muslin foks just cannot go.

Sleepers abound,

Enoch was well before his time but he was right
