Terrorists Threatening Obama

Video: Al Qaeda boss releases new video - ITN NEWS

Al Qaeda has been actively threatening U.S. President Barack Obama again, stating "a Muslim nation" shall bring America down.

The terrorist group has also likened Obama to former U.S. president, George W. Bush, stating the newly elected Commander-in-Chief, is carrying on the policies of his predecessor, in the Middle East.

The U.S. government is spending an exorbitant amount of money waging wars in Middle Eastern regions that are unsustainable. It is going to greatly bankrupt this nation to greater degrees than it has already done.

There is a significant amount of anti-Americanism in the Middle East, among Muslims, as they've watched as Iraq, Afghanistan and parts of Pakistan, have been decimated by the U.S. military, on George W. Bush's instructions, for oil.

In a effort to help you understand why a region of 300,000,000 are angry with America, imagine your hometown was being bombed and architecturally destroyed on a regular basis, by foreign forces, in attacks that did kill criminals (terrorists), but also wiped out over one million civilian moms, dads, boys, girls, grandparents and babies. This is where this new strain of hatred is coming from in the Middle East.

The Middle East also needs to bear in mind, most American civilians do not want any of the wars being waged. Multitudes of Americans and Britons, one of the nation's allies, have vociferously protested against said wars, demanding the combat end.

However, the U.S. Congress has not listened to the wishes of the American people and here lays the problem.

Terrorism is ugly in every form it exists and terrorists should be brought to justice. However, wars with blanket combat, killing off more civilians than terrorists, cannot be the answer.

RPT-Qaeda's Zawahri attacks Obama, Arabs in new video

Wed Sep 23, 2009 9:14am EDT - DUBAI, Sept 23 (Reuters) - Al Qaeda's number two Ayman al-Zawahri appeared on Wednesday in a new video marking the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, attacking Arab leaders and Barack Obama for their policies on Israel...

"America has come with a new deceptive face ... It plants the same dagger as Bush and his predecessors did. Obama has resorted to the policies of his predecessors in lying and selling illusions," said Zawahri, clad in white robe and turban.

"America has got involved in many wars and lost them ... But this one isn't like others. You have become embroiled with the Islamic nation and its mujahideen, and the nation has begun to wake up," he said in his concluding remarks.

American Muslim convert Adam Gadahn appeared as well as Abu Yahya al-Libi, Mustafa Abul-Yazid and other al Qaeda figures in a production by al Qaeda media arm As-Sahab where they discussed events of the past year such as the financial crisis, fighting in Afghanistan and the election of U.S. President Barack Obama.

A major theme of the 106-minute production, titled "The West and the Dark Tunnel", is that al Qaeda's Sept. 11 attack on U.S. cities and the subsequent U.S. war on terror were behind U.S. and world financial troubles.

The video, in which a narrator speaks over clips of the al Qaeda figures and Western analysts taken from documentaries, discusses allegations of financial corruption inside the Saudi royal family and torture used by U.S. troops in Afghanistan...
