al-Zawahiri used the Arabic term "abayd al bayt," when they referred to Obama?

This is the strategy that Terrorist use. It demoralizes America, and they are good at this.

Look, I have dealt with terrorists, and will be shortly going to Afghanistan to do so again. The harsh truth is America reacts sqeamishly, and it shows big time to them. The troops that deal with them they realize are alienated from the American public, but the public opinion is what matters to them.

The key strategy is to fight the troops, kill them, and terrorize the American public to demoralize them into swaying public opinion about the war the troops are fighting.

Obama should carry the same BIG STICK policy that Bush did. These terrorists dont respond to anything else.

You think they want to be your friend? You want to sit down with them like Sean Penn did with Hugo Chavez? These people dont want to do anything other than end the western way of life as you know it. I personally condemn any famous entertainment stars that like to "flap their gums" in the political arena just because they have an audience to listen and influence.

It aggrivates me, it should aggrivate America, but just look beyond all of the threats and insults.... this is what they do, they try to demoralize us and it has ultimately affected our very own election.

There is a very ugly and hidden agenda being driven right under the noses of Americans that preys on our unconcious ignorance and motivates us with fear of what is to come.

Well, Obama has two choices:

First, he can react with a calm determination to pursue a well-thought-out plan of increasing forces in Afghanistan and to follow high-level Al Qaeda targets into Pakistan if necessary.

Or he can follow the Bush Doctrine and send troops to Iceland.

It makes me realize that "The Base" takes the same approach as some on the fringe of the GOP when it comes to "not being racist".

Because we are used to having terrorists say NICE things about our presidents?

Consider the source.

I already knew those things so he didn't say anything i was not aware of, they are bad mouthing him in an effort to cover up for the millions they sent him.!!

I guess they are kicking themselves in the butt for giving him all that money to get elected.

I guess it beats the love letters they keep sending Bush, their best recruiter.

why would u care what they said..???..do u really expect that they would come out and say something nice ???

OBAMA NEEDS TO FIND THEM AND NUKE THEM. AS BUSH SHOULD HAVE DONE TO TORA BORA.
