Purported bin Laden message surfaces

Obama , under the influence of the republicans ? That shows how much of a Dumbass Bin Laden is !
In this new video it is nothing new , just some of the same old crap he always spews , It is all the Jeeeewwwwwwss Fault ! Al qaida will dominate the world , along with Islam , U.S bad , islam good .....
it is tiring to hear , and just plain silly !
OBL , yes the war will go on and on , because WE will not stop , as long as you jackass's continue to want to destroy us , and you breathe air we will be on your Monkey ass's .

(CNN) -- An audio message purportedly from al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden emerged on radical Islamist Web sites, just two days after the United States marked the eighth anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terror attacks.
"To the American people, this is my message to you: a reminder of the reasons behind 9/11 and the wars and the repercussions that followed and the way to resolve it," the message said.

"From the beginning, we have stated many times ... that the cause of our disagreement with you is your support of your allies, the Israelis, who are occupying our land in Palestine. Your stance along with some other grievances are what led us to carry out the events of 9/11."

The video plays the audio over a undated photograph of bin Laden. The video also shows a banner with the American flag as the backdrop and an image of the New York City skyline with the twin towers of the World Trade Center -- destroyed in the 9/11 attack -- still standing, said terrorism analyst Laura Mansfield.

CNN could not independently authenticate bin Laden as the speaker in the 11-minute video posted on Sunday by As-Sahab Media -- al Qaeda's production company.
In the message, President Barack Obama is accused of being "a vulnerable man who will not be able to stop the war, as he promised, but instead he will drag it to the maximum possible extent." Obama, during the 2008 presidential campaign, promised to pull U.S. troops out of Iraq.

Though U.S. troops no longer patrol Iraq's major cities and a large number have left, tens of thousands remain in the country and are expected to stay for years to come.
The message claims that the Obama administration is under the influence of the Republican White House it replaced, pointing out that the president kept Robert Gates as defense secretary -- a holdover from the Bush administration.

"Prolong the wars as much as you like. By God, we will never compromise on it (Palestine), ever," the message continued.

Mansfield noted that the video brings no new images of the elusive bin Laden, who was last seen in footage two years ago on the sixth anniversary of the terror attacks.

ACORN Fires More Officials for Helping 'Pimp,' 'Prostitute' in Washington Office

Something I have not seen anyone bring up in this is the fact that Acorn Knows how to set up a House for underage prostitution ! WTF !
It makes me wonder what the hell has been going on at Acorn offices everywhere .
Is this kind of Bullshit something they actively take part in ? They obviously know how to cheat the IRS , so would it be beyond them to also run a child prostitution Ring ?

Fox News
Two more ACORN officials were fired Friday after a second video surfaced showing staffers in the community organizers' Washington office offering to help a man and woman posing as a pimp and prostitute acquire illegal home loans that would help them set up a brothel.

The firings came less than 24 hours after another pair of ACORN officials from the group's Baltimore office were canned for instructing the "pimp" and "prostitute" how to falsify tax forms and seek illegal benefits for 13 "very young" girls from El Salvador that pair said they wanted to import to work as child prostitutes.

Both of the encounters were videotaped on a hidden camera wielded by 25-year-old independent filmmaker James O'Keefe, posing as the pimp — tapes that have ignited calls for investigations of ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.

The United States Census Director has sent a letter to the National Headquarters of ACORN notifying the group that it will no longer help work on the 2010 census.

The group's leaders said Friday they were "appalled and angry" at what their staffers had done, but insisted the videos were part of a political "smear" campaign and not representative of the institution as a whole.

"But that does not excuse the behavior of the employees," wrote ACORN's president Alton Bennet and executive director Mike Shea. "We have fired them and are initiating an internal review of practices and reminding all staff of their obligation to uphold the highest legal and ethical standards."

Rep. Charles Boustany, R-La., called for a hearing to investigate ACORN's tax filing assistance programs following the release of the videos he said suggested multiple incidents of tax fraud.

"In light of the apparent flagrant and willful attempts to suborn tax fraud, I ... (am seeking) a hearing of the Oversight Subcommittee of the House Ways and Means Committee as soon as practicable to investigate ACORN’s activities," he said Friday.

O'Keefe, the filmmaker, was accompanied by 20-year-old Hannah Giles, who posed as a prostitute. On a videotape of their visit to ACORN's Washington's office, they are seen receiving guidance to establish the woman as the sole proprietor of a bogus company to mask the nature of her business.

House plans to admonish Rep. Wilson over outburst

Don't ever try to speak your Mind when Dumocrats are around Even if it is the truth !I seem to remember a lot of Heckling and name calling directed towards George W Bush When he gave his speech's to congress ,How about Hillary clinton Rolling her Eyes in Disgust every time the Camera was on her ?
But when the Dumocrats have it done to them look out , they will try and bowl you over to get their way ! Rep. Joe Wilson ... You Da MAN !

AP
WASHINGTON — Democratic leaders are planning a House vote early next week to admonish Republican Rep. Joe Wilson if he does not apologize on the House floor for yelling "You lie!" during President Barack Obama's health care address to Congress.

National attention from the heckling episode has money pouring into Wilson's campaign treasury and that of his 2010 Democratic challenger. Wilson had raised more than $700,000 since the incident as of Friday, according to the National Republican Congressional Committee. His opponent, Rob Miller, had received more than $875,000, according to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

Democratic leaders initially showed mixed interest in punishing Wilson. But they decided at a meeting late Thursday that they probably will propose a resolution of disapproval early next week if he doesn't apologize to Congress, said Brendan Daly, a spokesman for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

While not a formal censure or reprimand, the resolution, if passed as expected, would put Congress on record as condemning Wilson's conduct.

Wilson, who was criticized by Republicans and Democrats for his outburst, told Obama he was sorry shortly after the incident Wednesday night. But he has refused requests from both parties to apologize on the House floor. Wilson's office says the congressman considers his initial apology sufficient.

Taliban presence seen across almost all Afghanistan

97% of Afghanistan under Taliban control to some extent ?
Amazing , When you think about all the fighting going on ,and how many Taliban are being killed .
The Taliban's paws are quite large when it comes to controlling everything , If they are Influencing/Controlling that much of Afghanistan , then Why are they not ruling it ?

SINGAPORE (Reuters) - The Taliban have a significant presence in almost every corner of Afghanistan, data from a policy think tank showed on Thursday, as the country lurches into political uncertainty after a disputed presidential election.

A political standoff has deepened since the August 20 poll, with President Hamid Karzai defending the ballot as honest but a U.N.-backed election watchdog invalidating some votes and ordering a partial recount amid widespread accusations of fraud.

The uncertainty coincides with the most violent period since the Taliban were toppled by U.S.-backed Afghan forces in 2001, with record military and civilian deaths testing the resolve of U.S. and European leaders.

The election, initially hailed a success after the Taliban failed to disrupt it, has since become a major headache for Washington and a test of President Barack Obama's new regional strategy to defeat the militants and stabilize Afghanistan.

A security map by policy research group the International Council on Security and Development (ICOS) however showed a deepening security crisis with substantial Taliban activity in at least 97 percent of the country.

The ICOS data, obtained by Reuters before its release on Thursday, painted an even darker picture than an Afghan government map last month that showed almost half of Afghanistan at either a high risk of attack or under "enemy control."

Based on reports of an average of one or more insurgent attacks a week since January 2009, it showed heavy Taliban activity across 80 percent of Afghanistan. A substantial Taliban presence -- one or more attacks per month -- was seen in another 17 percent of the country.

Militants attack students in Pakistan, 4 killed

The students were apparently attacked because they were minority Shi'ite Muslims. Taliban militants are from the majority Sunni community and attack Shi'ites as part of their strategy to fight the government.

Or did they attack them because they would rather not have anyone learning things in School that might make them Smarter ?
You Keep the Peasants dumbed down , and they know no better !

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (Reuters) - Taliban militants attacked a group of high school students on their way to school in northwest Pakistan on Tuesday, killing four of them and wounding three, a government official said.

The students were apparently attacked because they were minority Shi'ite Muslims. Taliban militants are from the majority Sunni community and attack Shi'ites as part of their strategy to fight the government.

"They opened ... fire on the students and we have reports of four deaths," said Khaista Gul, an official in the administration of the Orakzai ethnic Pashtun tribal region, where the attack took place.

Tribesmen retaliated after the attack and the two sides were fighting, said residents of the area near the town of Kalaya.

Three British men guilty of airline bomb plot

A little justice , What are the Odds these guys get a light sentence ?
It is just a shame they could not come up with convictions for the others involved !
Now they can run the streets of England , free to plot another attack !

LONDON (Reuters) - Three Britons were found guilty on Monday of plotting to kill thousands by blowing up transatlantic airliners bound for North America in mid-flight suicide attacks using bombs made from liquid explosives.

The suspected al Qaeda plot, just days from being put into operation according to British detectives, had huge worldwide ramifications leading to tight restrictions on the amount of liquids passengers could take on board aircraft.

Four other men were found not guilty of the plot and the jury failed to reach a verdict in the case of an eighth suspect, Britain's Press Association reported.

The bombers intended to simultaneously destroy at least seven planes carrying over 200 passengers each between London's Heathrow airport and the United States and Canada in August 2006 using explosives hidden in soft drink bottles, prosecutors said.

The conspirators were caught before they could put their plan into action following the largest counter-terrorism operation ever carried out by British police.

Iran rules out talks on its nuclear "rights"

Well that at least lets the World Know where Iran Stands !
No talks , No problem , Talks never work Anyhow , Iran and North korea are perfect examples of that , Hell even the Israeli - Palestinian issue has been talked over to death (Literally )
So quit talking it is an enormous waste of Time , When Iran tries to test their weapons they create , we should help blow them up !
with some guided Missiles !

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran's president snubbed on Monday U.S. President Barack Obama's end-September deadline to talk to world powers on its disputed nuclear program, saying in his opinion discussion on the issue is "finished."

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the Islamic Republic was ready for dialogue on "challenges" facing the world but made clear Tehran would not back down in a dispute over atomic activities which the West fears are aimed at making bombs.

"From our view point (discussion of) our nuclear issue is finished ... we will never negotiate on the Iranian nation's obvious rights," he told his first news conference since he was sworn into office following a disputed re-election in June.

In Vienna, U.N. nuclear watchdog chief Mohamed ElBaradei said his agency was stuck in "stalemate" with Iran over issues that had stirred international mistrust in its nuclear designs.

Elbaradei's renewed highlighting of the deadlock may be timely for Western powers striving to persuade Russia and China of the need for much harsher sanctions against Iran that could target its gasoline imports.

White House Adviser Van Jones Resigns Amid Controversy Over Past Activism

"On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me," Jones said in his resignation statement. "They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide."

A Wise man once told me to never trust a Politician , Van Jones while not actually being a politician ,He Sure acts like one !
Deceit is the political way anymore , you come up in your career saying whatever you want , having an agenda ( Usually one out of touch with the mainstream )Joining orgs, starting orgs , and so on ! Van Jones did all this .
Being a Communist Revolutionary , and a Black nationalist , who thinks Republicans are assholes (See video Below) , and making comments about white people being responsible for all the ills of the U.S , and then denying it all, Makes him The worst kind of racist around ! nevermind the fact that he thinks 9/11 was pulled off (or let happen ) By the Government !
And Obama thinks he is a good Guy ? WTF

Washington post
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama's environmental adviser Van Jones, who became embroiled in a controversy over past inflammatory statements, has resigned his White House job after what he calls a "vicious smear campaign against me."

The resignation, announced early Sunday, came as Obama is working to regain his footing in the contentious health care debate.

Jones, an administration official specializing in environmentally friendly "green jobs" with the White House Council on Environmental Quality was linked to efforts suggesting a government role in the 2001 terror attacks and to derogatory comments about Republicans.

Jones issued an apology on Thursday for his past statements. When asked the next day whether Obama still had confidence in him, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said only that Jones "continues to work in the administration."

The matter surfaced after news reports of a derogatory comment Jones made in the past about Republicans, and separately, of Jones's name appearing on a petition connected to the events surrounding the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. That 2004 petition had asked for congressional hearings and other investigations into whether high-level government officials had allowed the attacks to occur.

"On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me," Jones said in his resignation statement. "They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide."

Jones said he has been "inundated with calls from across the political spectrum urging me to stay and fight."

But he said he cannot in good conscience ask his colleagues to spend time and energy defending or explaining his past.

Because , they would easily dig up everything that you have said , most of which is on Video ! You have no defense ! You drove your own Knife in your back jackass !( This was updated several times in the time frame I wrote this , the article reads a little different now )

Afghan spy boss killed in Taliban suicide attack

More Muslims Killing Muslims ! With Afghanistan and Pakistan both sticking it to the Taliban ( most of the time ) we will not have to fight them much longer !
as the death toll rises on both sides , there is less of the enemy to eradicate !

AP
KABUL — A Taliban suicide bomber attacked officials leaving a mosque east of the capital Wednesday, killing the country's deputy intelligence chief and 23 other people in a major blow to Afghanistan's security forces.

The brazen assault occurred as tensions are running high after last month's divisive presidential election and a sharp rise in U.S. casualties — events that have already raised alarm in Washington over the future of President Barack Obama's strategy to turn the tide of the war.

A Taliban spokesman, Zabiullah Mujahid, claimed responsibility for the bombing, which happened as Afghan dignitaries were leaving the main mosque in Mehterlam, 60 miles (100 kilometers) east of Kabul, after ceremonies marking the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

The bomber approached the crowd on foot and detonated an explosive belt, killing 23 people, including Abdullah Laghmani, deputy chief of Afghanistan's National Directorate for Security and the target of the attack, according to provincial spokesman Sayed Ahmad Safi.

The chairman of the local provincial council and the executive director of the local governor's office also died in the blast, Safi said.

Laghmani, a close ally of President Hamid Karzai, was a major figure in Afghanistan's security and intelligence apparatus and his death was a setback to Afghan efforts to curb Taliban and other extremist activity

TTP leader ‘Hakimullah Mehsud dead’

He is dead , then He's not , maybe just wounded , NO he is o.k , and in charge !
So like the saying goes "War is deceit" , Hakimullah , was most likely killed ( If he really is dead ) in the gun fight that ensued after Baitullah was killed !
Awesome news if true !
And now Pakistan is going forward with their plans to clear south waziristan ? Did they not just say they were backing off a little bit ?

Dawn.com
ISLAMABAD: The security forces believe the new Taliban Commander Hakimullah Mehsud is already dead and Taliban in order to save their image are giving the impression that he is alive.

A private TV channel, citing intelligence sources, said it was Hakimullah’s brother who gave the interview to BBC some days ago.

Hakimullah Mehsud’s look-alike brother was specially summoned from Afghanistan to head the banned Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan on a temporary basis while a decision to appoint the new chief was taken by Taliban leader Mullah Omar.

The security forces also said the Taliban declared Hakimullah Mehsud as their new chief to prove their top leadership is still alive. Sources said, the security forces are finalizing preparation to launch a massive offensive against the Taliban in South Wazirisitan.

Kill the evil jewz , iran loves its people and it's nuclearz refinement facilities ! the U.S is great Satan , george bush needs to go , I mean Obama needs to go ! blah , blah , blah .....

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad plans to address this month's U.N. General Assembly meeting, an aide said on Tuesday, in what would be his first trip to the West since his disputed re-election in June.

Ahmadinejad's attendance of the annual gathering of world leaders at the United Nations headquarters in New York would take place in the same month that Western powers have set as a deadline for Tehran to agree to talks on its nuclear program.

U.S. President Barack Obama, who has given Iran until September to take up an offer of talks on trade benefits if it shelves nuclear enrichment or face harsher sanctions, will speak at the same U.N. meeting on September 23.

"The president's trip to New York is still on his agenda and relevant officials here in Tehran are working on the necessary preparations," Ali-Akbar Javanfekr, Ahmadinejad's media adviser, told Reuters.

"The date of his arrival there and the length of his visit depend on coordination between Tehran and the United Nations. This is the same for the day of his speech," he said.

In a speech at the same event last year, Ahmadinejad railed against "Zionist murderers" and vowed to resist American bullying and defend Iran's right to nuclear power.

Iran says its nuclear program is for peaceful power generation, but the West suspects it is aimed at making bombs.

Son of Iran candidate ally died after beating:

And this coming from the country that calls The U.S. the great Satan , and says that we commit human rights atrocities !

TEHRAN (Reuters) - The son of an adviser to a defeated Iranian presidential candidate died after being beaten in jail, a semi-official news agency reported on Monday, citing a report from the coroner's office.

A reformist website last month said the son of Abdolhossein Ruholamini, who advised conservative Mohsen Rezaie in the disputed June presidential election, was killed in a Tehran prison after being detained in post-vote unrest.

Officials have said Mohsen Ruholamini died of meningitis. He was held in Tehran's Kahrizak jail, where many opposition protesters arrested after the disputed election were taken.

The Mehr news agency, citing an informed source, said the coroner's office, had submitted a report on the case to the legal authorities.

"According to that report, the main causes of his death were physical stress, frequent beatings and hitting a solid object on his head," Mehr quoted its source as saying, adding he died while being transferred to a hospital.

Mehr did not give further detail and there was no immediate comment from the authorities.

Lockerbie bomber release linked to oil deal:

Again we see "normal" people getting the shaft by those who are the supposed leaders of the masses , and the rich ! All the build up for this meatbag , Megrahi , and his Compassionate release , was just a bunch of B.S , a cover for an oil deal that will line the pockets of the rich (BP)!
A boycott of B.P Should be in order for there part !
And the rest , the voters will take care of them !
The 270 that were killed on flight 103 , never received compassion , Megrahi , deserves a bullet in his head !

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain agreed to include Lockerbie bomber Abdel Basset al-Megrahi in a prisoner transfer deal with Libya because of "overwhelming interests" shortly before an oil deal was sealed with Tripoli, a newspaper reported on Sunday.

The Sunday Times said leaked letters from Justice Secretary Jack Straw undermined government denials of a link between the former Libyan agent's freedom and British trade interests.

Megrahi, 57, was released from jail on August 20 after Scottish authorities said his terminal cancer gave compassionate grounds for him to return home to die.

The British government has distanced itself from the decision, made by Scottish Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill, which has angered many relatives of the bombing's victims and the United States government, which lost 189 citizens.
Megrahi was the only person convicted of the 1988 bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over the Scottish town of Lockerbie that killed 270 people. His rapturous reception in Tripoli has been criticized by the British and U.S. governments.

The Sunday Times said two letters from Straw, dated five months apart, showed he reversed an original plan to exclude Megrahi from a prisoner transfer agreement that was being discussed with Libya.

The paper said the change of heart appeared to be linked to a stalled $900 million oil and gas exploration deal with Libya for British oil giant BP that was ratified a few weeks later.

BP has always denied any link between the deal and the prisoner agreement.

Straw wrote to MacAskill in July 2007 to say he favored excluding Megrahi from the prisoner transfer, an arrangement desired by the Scottish administration which has autonomous powers over most criminal matters.

But by December 2007 he told MacAskill his position had changed.

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's army says helicopter gunships have destroyed a training camp for suicide bombers and killed six Taliban militants in the troubled Swat Valley.

The army says several more militants were wounded when the helicopter gunships pounded the camp, located on a small island in the Swat River opposite the town of Charbagh.

The army said in a statement Saturday that the overnight operation followed reports by intelligence agents and local residents of the presence of suicide attack masterminds on the island. It said people trained in the camp were to be used to bomb cities in Swat.

Security forces have been winding down a nearly three-month offensive against Taliban militants in the Swat Valley and surrounding areas.
