New Al Qaeda Video: Gahdan Threatens Bush, Destroys Passport

American Al Qaeda leader Adam Gadahn told his followers to welcome Bush "with bombs and traps" upon his upcoming visit to the Middle East this week.

"The occupied territories are awaiting their first visit by the crusader Bush and the mujahideen are also waiting for him," said Gadahn, a California native and now an Al Qaeda spokesman.

The video, entitled "An Invitation to Reflection and Repentance, makes specific reference to the Annapolis Conference which indicates that it was produced after the November 27, 2007, conference.

Adam Gadahn declares the Americans defeated in a new 50 minute, 14 second video tape released this morning by As Sahab, Al Qaeda’s video production wing.

In a moment of melodrama, Gadahn declares a symbolic rejection of his American citizenship in protest of the continued imprisonment of Sheikh Omar Abdul Rahman (convicted on terror plans to attack New York City), John Walker Lindh (the American Taliban arrested in Afghanistan in 2001), and others, and rips his passport in half. Before tearing the passport, he shows pages to demonstrate that it is his.

Afterwards, he adds "Don't get too excited - I don't need it to travel anyway."

"Adam Gadahn declares the Americans defeated in a new 50 minute, 14 second video tape..."

Where have I heard "Americans defeated" before? Oh yes, from the Boob/chris/llama/yyy/nowinker/LOL, the whole ten lbs in a five-lb bag. Also from Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader of the U.S.A. for God's sake (what is called an expert opinion).

Well, the qaeda cutie must have read it in the U.S. media. He sure didn't get this information from Iraq nor Afghanistan.

I'm sure the US Special Forces will greet him with open arms.

Haven't you patriots defeated the 'evil-doers' yet? Well, at least the Iraqis will never attack us again. Surge on!!!

Adam the al-Qaeda water boy says that he doesn't need a passport to travel.

The only thing that awaits Mr. Gadahn should he be found in US territory is a one way trip to Gitmo, and if all goes well, a long drop from a short rope... or a high-calibre bullet in the gut.

"...or a high-calibre bullet in the gut."

Let's hope no one decides to bring this POS in alive.

I will save tax payers all lawyer fees and cost of housing. Bring this SOB to Georgia and I will personally execute him, with witness' if needed. Then feed him to some hungry friends of mine that live in humble dwellings in south Georgia!

Who the f*&# cares about this guy.

You'd be surprised who the F*&# cares about him.

The American self-loathers love him for a few reasons, depending on their personal manner of self-loathing:
1] He serves to represent that not all Americans are blinded by the modern jingoism, and they thus hope to escape the wrath of their captors once the jihad is complete: "Hey, Abdul, my main imam! I was withya the whole time, just like that Gahdan guy...!!"
2] He serves to point out that the US **is** as corrupt as the jihadis and American self-loathers wail; if it wasn't, would Americans turn coat?

Even the ultrAmericans love the guy, for it indicates their own needle-in-a-haystack paranoias are justified: "we must treat all Americans as if they were terrorists because one in a hundred million actually are...!"

There's a spooky, Hollywoodesque demeanor, reminiscent of The Manchurian Candidate, when both sides tout the same thing in the furtherance of their ideology.

Billy Joel wrote a song called, "Only The Good Die Young." This seems to ring true when you think of people like John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King.

That being said.... GW could walk naked from Iraq to Afghanistan and never take a hit. With any luck Bush is going to live a long and tormented life, knowing that he is the worst President in American history, and nothing more than a ner-do-well who has done more damage to this planet and his country than any monkey sitting in a cave could even contemplate.

[rwilymz]

...case in point.

[Wahoo Willie Sez:]

HAhah RW that could not have worked out better unless you're using two posting names. Of course you wouldn't have had to remind us who wrote "Only the good die young" because only a college sophomore would need to do that. I just wish they would explain where these "feelings" come from......I mean, other than, "My teacher told us that blah, blah and bolshevism."
