AQ #2: Kill the Jews … again

In the digital age, is there any such thing as a broken record? Ayman al-Zawahiri manages to keep the analogy alive in his latest message, just breaking this afternoon. In the audio tape, Zawahiri exhorts his followers towards the usual goals — killing Jews, destroying the US, and Palestinians blah blah blah:
Al-Qaeda deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahri called on Muslims in a new audiotape released Monday to strike Jewish and American targets in revenge for Israel’s recent offensive in the Gaza Strip.
The al-Zawahri tape came on the heels of a message from Osama bin Laden, who called for a holy war to liberate the Palestinian territories. Together, the two messages appeared to be a more direct push by the terror network’s leadership to use widespread anger over the Gaza violence to whip up support.
USA Today reports that the new tape has an “urgent tone” that might indicate new attacks have either already started or that AQ wants an affiliate to take immediate action. Osama bin Laden’s latest missive focused more on Europe, specifically on the republication of the Mohammed cartoons in Denmark and elsewhere. Which way would those attacks go?

It’s like playing whack-a-mole, ain’t it!

They sound like shills for the U.S. State Dept.

You are all cynical war-somethingers. We need to understand these people. In understanding them, we need to negotiate with them. Because in the rainbow of human experience, sometimes you just need to threaten to kill you some jews.
/// um, yeah, that hurt.

Can you imagine being so stupid as to take orders from this moron. Hiel Hitler

I’m hiding out, but I need the rest of you to attack.
How Muslim…………

Are they shifting emphasis to the Palestinians from Iraq because Iraq isn’t quite going the way they planned?

Well put…..

Still not sure why we haven’t just nuked the whole gd region. It sure would make things a lot easier for the rest of us. Once the radiation died down, we could then sweep in and claim the oil… win/win!

Oh look! It’s Gunga Din again!

He also predicted the hot tomboy will be thrown off American Idol this week, and I think he’s right on the money.

Jewish targets in Europe. European targets in Israel. Embassies, hotels, tourist sites, religious buildings, for starters. Perhaps simultaneous attacks on the Danish embassy in Tel Aviv and Jews in Denmark.
AQ loves coordinated attacks, even in two different countries only minutes apart. They know how to do it.

Well, this Jewboy belongs to the NRA (and all that implies), so bring it on!!
TexasJew on March 24, 2008 at 2:30 PM
I’m sure all the operatives are smacking themselves on the head, going “oh, kill Jews and Americans, gosh we just weren’t sure whom to kill before.”

Will you guys leave Obama’s pastor alone already? You don’t understand the totality of his circumstances.

I heard the University of Colorado offered this whack-job Ward Churchill’s old job.

You have no clout
You better not try
You better watch out, I’m telling you why.
Twelfth Imam is coming to town
A-Bomb is on list
I’ll use more than twice
Good Muslims who die
Will go to paradise
Twelfth Imam is coming to town
He knows if you’re a Christian
He knows if you’re a Jew
He knows if you’re an in-fi-del
He’s told me what to do
So….You have no clout
You better not try, I’m telling you why.
Twelfth Imam is coming to town
Twelfth Imam is coming to town

When my CD player skips and gets stuck in a repetitive loop, I smack it violently. Same policy will work on Ayman.
Perfect analogy, AP.

Isn’t he supposed to be behind a curtain pulling levers somewhere?
I’d love to slap him out of his disgusting fairy tale world.
Rogue Traveler on March 24, 2008 at 2:56 PM
I thought he was killed last year?
moonsbreath on March 24, 2008 at 3:22 PM
He thinks he’s directing global jihad but the truth is he hides in a cave and craps in a bucket.
Cicero43 on March 24, 2008 at 3:27 PM
the fact that people pay attention to the hate filled delusional ranting of this clown speaks volumes for their intelligence.
TooTall on March 24, 2008 at 3:39 PM
If he thinks Israel will play nice with him he is sadly mistaken. He better start cheking his camel’s hump for shape charge explosives aimed UP.
