Al-Qaeda urges attacks on Bush during Mideast tour: website

Source: AFP

DUBAI (AFP) - An American member of Al-Qaeda urged Islamist militants to target US President George W. Bush "with bombs" during his trip to the Middle East next week, in an message posted online on Sunday.

Bush should be welcomed "not by flowers and applause, but with bombs and car bombs," said Adam Gadahn, a convert to Islam who has been indicted for treason by a US jury.

The audio message is the first Al-Qaeda warning of 2008, and follows a message from the network's chief Osama bin Laden on December 30 in which he warned Muslims against supporting Iraq's US-backed government and promised the "liberation of Palestine."

He's been their greatest benefactor, what with creating that fantastic recruiting ground in Iraq and pissing off the whole Muslim world and all.

I smell a rat...or a Rove...or something.

will curl up in a tank and travel the streets. We know what a big big hero he is. He skipped out of Viet Nam and then flamed a real hero who went and fought for his country...back attack...old bush the tush is good at that.

:thumbsup: ;-)

hoping a brain dead believer is willing to give it a go

Move to Pakistan
Gadahn moved to Pakistan in 1998, where he married an Afghan refugee and maintained intermittent contact with his family.<11>

In Pakistan during 2003, Adam was asked by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to participate in a suicide attack in Maryland, but Adam decided against it citing "he had recently married and his wife was pregnant."<12> However, a CIA official added that: "Gadahn participated in a number of “face-to-face brainstorming sessions” with Mohammed."<13>

forgotten to let Adam know Islam is a peaceful religion. :-(

of Islam we need to repent? :( Why do his words sound like, "If you are not for us, you are against us?" or am I mishearing him? I don't think I want this man's prayers. (about 3:40 in the video)

Thank you, Ohio. I will be viewing the other videos at this site.

edited for spelling

just makes me think someone in bushco posted that.

Riiight. That's a Wag-the-Dog moment if I've ever seen one. Does anyone still believe this al-qaeda crap?

That statement could not even been made in 2001, as OBL was already dead then.

(1) Posting on a website is easy, and it is unlikely that the alleged authorship can be verified;
(2) Verified or not, the press usually did not cover such "stories" before 2001, reasoning that the coverage unnecessarily circulated and amplified the message -- and it is completely unclear why that logic has since been abandoned

Israeli officials in Jerusalem are to deploy more than 10,000 police officers in a vast security operation ahead of the arrival this week of George Bush, the first US president to visit in a decade. Graffiti are being cleaned off walls, road markings are being repainted and hundreds of American flags are being put up across the city. The floodlights which illuminate the stone ramparts of the Old City will stay on for an extra two hours every night, until 2am, to give the president the chance to catch the view.

Hundreds of hotel rooms across Jerusalem have been booked for Bush's group, as well as for the media and even Israeli officials, who fear they might not be able to make it home in the evenings.

Bush, who arrives on Wednesday for his first visit as president, will stay at the King David hotel. Eight truckloads of equipment have already arrived in advance of his two-night stay. All the hotel's rooms will be taken by his entourage - tourists have had their bookings cancelled.

The security precautions, dubbed Operation Clear Skies by the Israeli security services, are immense. Roads around the hotel will be blocked, despite the huge traffic jams that will entail. A force of 10,500 police and security staff will be deployed and Bush will be flown in to the hotel by helicopter from the airport near Tel Aviv. "There will be so much security nobody will be able to get anywhere near the president," said Micky Rosenfield, Israel's police spokesman.
