American al Qaeda Rejoices over 9/ll
September 10, 2006 7:09 PM
Adam Pearlman Gadahn, the former Californian who is now an al Qaeda leader, described his glee on a tape released today when he learned of the attacks five years ago on "enemy soil."
Gadahn's comments are contained on a new propaganda video distributed by al Qaeda about the planning of the 9/ll attacks.
The Americans "had very foolishly assumed whatever was going to happen would happen outside of America," he said with a smile on his face.
Gadahn, once an Orange County teenager who was a heavy-metal music fan, has played an increasingly important role in al Qaeda, according to U.S. officials.
Gadahn was indicted by a federal grand jury last week on charges of providing material support for terrorism.
Prosecutors are reported to be considering treason charges.
On the tape, Gadahn describes the 9/ll hijackers as "dedicated, strong-willed men," not "failures looking for a way out."
"Everything that al Qaeda was doing was preparation for the Manhattan and Washington raids and the expected crusader invasion," he said on the tape.

You caved! Where was the U.S.S Cole bombing? Where was Clinton refusing to take Osama bin Laden from the Pakistanis in 1996? Or Al Gore first learning about Osamain 1987? You caved, you caved, you caved to political pressure from Bill and Hillary. Disgusting!

This only brings up the next Bombshell.........why did Bush go to Iraq when Bill Clinton was targeting Osama as a threat in Afganistan?(whether or not Clinton finished it or not) The clear picture is that the US has done so much dirt over money in other countries that they do not know who is the enemy is!!!!

If anyone ever deserved to be prosecuted for treason, this man does.

Old man Bush started all of this with Desert Storm....during Clinton years we were safe, people were proud to be an american....George W. (nine months in office) was the reason for 9/11....If he had not made himself a self-proclaimed leader 9/11 would not have happened....9/11 was revenge for america interferring where we had no business except for Bush want the OIL. America is no different than anyother country that invaded for profit. Most countries hate us!

Terrorism goes back to the beginning of Israel as a nation and has become increasingly more volatile from the 70s to the present. What does this have to do with Bill and Hillary Clinton? Hindsight is 20/20, but how was ANYONE to predict what would happen on 9/11.
Posted by: M Simmons | Sep 11, 2006 8:29:56 AM
Yeah, I know these terrorist hate us and want to kill all of us, in fact I know they and thousands of their friends want to kill us even if it means killing themselves and that there are thousands, if not millions more, who support them killing us and every westernized country in existence. How do i know, They have said it themselves and demonstrated it. They run around in the streets like monkeys praising allah for the destruction their comrades have caused. In response to Michael Stubbs on the miniseries, I hope and think the U.S.S Cole is on Part 2. I thought it made Clinton look pretty bad, maybe not as bad as real life played out but it satisfied me enough so far. It was better than I had anticipated.

Gadahn, is a fruitcake. A traitor.
He is not worth giving airtime to. Took too many drugs and cranked the metal music to high.

Hopefully Hillary will get this country back on its feet come 2008! Go Hillary!

"Gadahn, once an Orange County teenager who was a heavy-metal music fan..."
What does the style of music he listened to have to do with ANYTHING?!?!?!?!?!?!??! If a Christian robs a bank and kills someone in the process, I don't see the media saying it was a "Christian related" crime, or that "god made him do it!" but as soon as you hear some misguided kid listened to Heavy Metal, all of a sudden it's the "devil's work" or a "satanic crime." You media people have beeing giving this style of music a bad name for far too long and it's really getting tired. Get a new scapegoat already!

I am proud to be an American, even though I live overseas. Only in America can people like Gadahn have the right to speak his mind even though it is against his fellow Americans. All I can say is, if he is so unhappy with American life, why did he stay?????

Does anybody know if Adam is/was a registered Democrat? I heard one of his speeches and at first I thought it was a speech by Al Gore, Ned Lamont, Jesse Jackson (but this guy was more articulate so I figured it wasnt Jackson). The part made me realize he was a terrorist was when he started ranting a raving about Jihad, which I can thankfully say the Democrats do not agree with in philosophy, but it is time they disagree with jihad in action and get behind Lieberman and take out wackos like Adam Gadahn and any of his coward friends who want to kill civilians and wont face our military head on. If they want to be martyrs lets make them martyrs lets have them line up and send them to their so called "paradise" one by one. Maybe we could have an afghan state fair set up a martyr booth (sort of what we know as a kissing booth. Just say "get you virgins here!" Just a thought.

Brian,
There is NO SUCH THING as an American al queda.....just writing that makes me literally sick.....are you out of your mind to even begin to think that any "person" that is on American soil and claims to be an American is an American?????? There are probably millions of "people" in this Awesome United States of America "who" are not Americans in any way, shape, fashion or form....I would venture to say that are not people at all!!! I am offended to see those words side by side, together in the same sentence....and to be honest with you, being a PROUD AMERICAN CITIZEN, WHOSE FATHER AND HIS FATHER BEFORE THAT, FAUGHT TO KEEP THIS NATION FREE, it was incredibly difficult to type those words.....I will give you the benefit of the doubt here, but I for one feel that you owe all TRUE AMERICANS an apology! Gadhan was not an AMERICAN!!! And al queda is a filthy word.....I am only one person, but if given the chance, would SQUASH the evilness that prevails in mere words....

We're watching ABC's GMA coverage of the 9/11 memorial. Brian Ross just gave terrorist wannabes instructions on how and where to buy ammonium nitrate in quantities great enough to build a truck bomb with no questions asked. Should the right to report trump our need to be protected from wackos who learn from and are inspired by such reports?

Isn't it amazing that the Clinton Kool Aid drinkers would cry about this. Facts are facts -- this was treated as a legal problem by the Clinotn administration for years. Our elcted officials in Washington pledged to stay together and for 5 years have done nothing but stonewall and critiszie Bush. Mistakes certainly have been made but our enemy was in the 80's the 90's and today Muslim extremists not republicans. Making politics of this unfortunate attack makes anyone who does look like the pathetic excuse of an American they are "Michael Moore" for example.

Why do we continue you to refer to this person as an American? He is no more and American than Bil Laden himself is. Let's just to refer to him as what he is an Islamic Terrorist of Anglo decent.

To all of you al Qaeda who may be reading this - how do you know that this "traitor" of the U.S. can be trusted by you? How do you know he is not a secret agent who is infiltrating you? Even if he is not, he is an apparent traitor who cannot be trusted by ANYONE, including al Qaeda. If he was a traitor to us, he will be a traitor to you. You would be wise to kill him and send us the videotape.

Mr. Ross,
I am adding an additional comment to my prior response....
Thousands of innocent AMERICAN PEOPLE lost their lives on 9/11/2001 and thousands of innocent AMERICAN SOLDIERS continue to lose their lives every single day in order to defend our Great Nation....they are only the tip of the iceberg....consider all the Americans who are now living without their loved ones because of al qaeda terrorism....consider the changes that this Great Nation has undergone since that horrific day....this Country will never be the same, and there is no way that any of us can comprehend the totality of the events surrounding that day, but be certain of ONE thing.....We are "ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL".....and the innocent lives that have been and continue to be lost will not be done so in vain.
With Gratefulness to those Americans, I submit this comment.
Terrie Gremillion
One of my God Given Gifts is to be able to express myself through writing. I sincerely hope that any words that have been expressed here will inspire and motivate other AMERICANS to express their heartfelt emotions and opinions.

Personally, I'm glad he's left our country. If more people would finally own up to how they feel about things being "unAmerican" get the hell out. I do not appreciate though that once we have to come to your country to right a wrong and habor these people, "terrorists" and get upset that we are there, they should have stood up in the beginning for themselves because there is a war in your country and you are too chicken to make a stand we should not foot the bill on to repair anything in your country. You made your bed now lie in it - or on the floor. They made their choice.

That one person can deliver so many discussions. Be glad that he spoke his mind, instead of being a silent cell coming to life at an instructed moment. Just like the terrorists who made 9-11 the horrible day it is. Was he an American? Yes, facts tell us he was. Is he worth to be called an American? His words tell us no. He is a sad, deranged person, to be found in every country. The product of hate, loneliness and the need for simple instructions, a belief to reform his frustrations. The cause of inheritance, upbringing, wrong friends... No more or less than that. It is not so that being American eliminates every chance of getting deranged. It is a human aspect. People die by this error in terrorist actions in Madrid, London, Amsterdam. I wish you strength on this day.
