New Al Qaeda Web Ad Threatens 'Big Surprise'
August 01, 2007 7:34 PM
A new al Qaeda propaganda ad, headlined "Wait for the Big Surprise" and featuring a digitally altered photograph of President George Bush and Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf standing in front of a burning White House, was posted on the Internet today.
The brief clip from al Qaeda's "as Sahab" propaganda arm juxtaposes the doctored photo of Bush and Musharraf along with previously seen images of al Qaeda's top leadership -- Osama bin Laden, Ayman al Zawahri and Adam Gadahn -- as well as a photo of an SUV in a motorcade.
There is no additional information provided in the ad, and it closes with the words, "Soon -- God willing," written across the screen and repeated several times.

Following the recent failed London-Glasgow terror plot, U.S. intelligence officials have been paying closer attention to the now frequent propaganda releases from as Sahab, studying the videos for hidden clues or signals.
The full video is expected to be released on the Web in the next 24 to 48 hours.
Do you have a tip for Brian Ross and the Investigative Team?

Was this release by Pelosi, Reid and Clinton? It hard to tell the difference between al Qaeda and democratic talking points. Well we all know the three have been hoping for defeat in Iraq, and since they can't have that they are hoping for an attack on our country. It must be hard for the donkey party, the USA is still prevailing, despite all their attempts to bring us down.

This is what happens when liberals make hay in politics. Weakness is demonstrated and people like al-qaeda get encouraged to do their sick deeds

How do you fight a war on terror when you leave your back door wide open at the border? I just don't get it.
It seems to me that a smart idea would be to sick some bounty hunters on these idiots like Ron Paul wants to do. Presidential candidate Ron Paul is introducing a bill that would mark OBL and his buddies with letters of marque and reprisal.

There sure are a lot of lunatics posting comments here. You've got your 9/11 truthers who ignore facts in the name of "Truth," several Bush-haters so infested by BDS they'll oppose anything he proposes and consider it "evil" no matter what it is, a Bush-fan who doesn't see that Pres. Bush isn't perfect (not as common as the liberals think they are - most conservatives aren't like this), and a moron crying about a poor economy that is in fact doing extremely well despite the lies and spin the media likes to give (sure, a housing bubble burst is possible, but the economy is by no means doing poorly!).

Anybody who thinks 9/11 was an inside job needs to have their head examined - all politics aside. Wake up and smell the Jihad, people!

Budd, are you going to be man enough to admit you were wrong when your prediction doesn't come true?

And the liberals choose to keep their head in the sand...

Gotta love those "inside job" guys. Where they get the time to read Drudge in between staking out Area 51 and attending Flat Earth Society meetings is beyond me.
Posted by: JCarpenter | Aug 1, 2007 8:59:34 PM
Fascinating to see a charter member of the LAMBs (Lunatic-left And Mega-moonbat Brigade) assuring us 9/11 was an inside job - and that the next one will be too.
Were the other attacks around the world since 9/11, also perpetrated by "a band of terrorists holed up in the Pakistani mountains", inside jobs too?

More idle threats from the cowards who hide in caves. OBL and his ilk can only post threats on the web. Thanks to Bush for his dedication to the war on terror and keeping them at bay.

Ummm...for the folks of the USA, you don't like it here, please go (stock up on the kool aid first though!).

"...destroying ourselves and our economy"
Well geee, the dow jones is higher than ever, unemployment is the lowest its ever been and more people own houses now then any other time in America. What part of booming economy do you not get Jeff C?
Kyle stop smoking that medicinal marijuana and go watch a few more episodes of South Park...you might learn something.
question, liberty boy...you do know there are still tens of thousands of U.S. troops still in Afghanistan and have been since the original invasion, right? maybe you favor Barack Hussein's unilateral non-U.N. approved option of invading Pakistan, which by the way is a nuclear armed muslim country. would that get us more on track?

US troops are too busy dying in Iraq to fight terrorists over where they really are: Pakistan.
Posted by: BradsClueless | Aug 1, 2007 9:02:55 PM
oOh, they have a big surprise? Well we have a big surprise for them coming soon, coming soon, coming soon.

I see that the "inside job" lunacy is accompanied by the "it's Israel's doing" craziness also.
What is this, an offsite retreat for dailykos refugees?

OBL is on the Bush payroll.
Lookup Carlyle Group.
Yea, the Bush's and Bin Ladens go way way back. Before GW was Gov of texas they were doing business together. Still are.

USA is a country with so many sick minds in it. Those who sit in their living rooms smoking ganje and dreaming that they know what is happening, thanks to the superior mind-enhancing powers of dope. While real men search the hinterlands of Afghanistan and Pakistan for a man the dreamers say doesn't exist or is no threat. Perhaps they should be lowered via involuntary parachute into those highlands to see for themselves the harmless ones who chop off imaginary heads.

They're going to crash an SUV into the White House.

Most of you people are absolutely insane.

It's cruel pity for the Americans' rulers to take a slow, measured approach in trying to overcome their enemies among muslims. See where decency and restraint have left the American President and the Americans: Their enemies, being still alive, still taunt them, plot against them, gather their forces, and await their opportunity.
