al-Qaida blames Obama for Gaza

Quoting from al-Qaida 'second-in-command' Ayman al-Zawahiri the article says:
Al-Qaida Tuesday called the Israeli incursion into Gaza a "gift" to Israel from U.S. President-elect Barack Obama and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.
Ayman al-Zawahiri, who is Osama bin Laden's second-in-command, used his 10-minute audio tape released on Islamic extremist Web sites to vow revenge for the deaths of Palestinians killed and wounded by the Israeli Military, ABC News reported.
"We will never stop until we avenge the death of all who are killed, injured, widowed and orphaned in Palestine and throughout the Islamic world," said al-Zawahiri.
He said Obama has partnered with Mubarak, whom he calls a traitor to Islam.
"What you are facing today is just occupation and settlement that is limited to one area or one country, but is part of a series in the crusaders war against Islam," al-Zawahiri said. "These airstrikes are a gift from Obama before he takes office, and from Hosni Mubarak, the traitor who is the primary partner in your siege and murder."
Al-Zawahiri called on Palestinians to "be strong and persist in the way of Jihad," ABC said.
"We are at work to carry out the promise of our fighting sheik Osama bin Laden (may Allah protect him) who promised that America will not live in peace in their dreams before we live in peace in Palestine, and until all the forces of the infidels leave the lands of Mohammad," he said.

So it would seem that it even terrorists are pinning the blame on Obama before he has taken office, just imagine what kind of power the man will actually have when he is in office if he can already conduct wars.

It's pretty worrying to be honest, even more worrying when people around the world seem to actually believe such paranoia - very peculiar.

So yes, flaming and trolling.
However, after a few years of being President, if things aren't happening fast enough, or to their particular taste, everyone else is going to get on the bandwagon.

They do seem to have become little bitching talkers of shite although the overarching theme of being violent toward 'Westerners' seems to attract a lot of support. A shame that they are able to raise such support and xenophobia.

Yeah, wasn't Obama supposed to be immune to all that? Weren't the terrorists supposed to make nice?

As ridiculous as the Al-Qaida spokesman's comments are I think there is a shred of truth to the idea that Israel chose this time to attack Gaza just before Obama takes office in order to sabotage any peace initiative which Obama might try undertake. (though thats not what they said) I don't think peace is really on Al-Qaida's agenda here either though so it makes sense that they would try this...

Oh it makes sense for them politically to encourage these conflicts, on another note - think there might be incidents of al-Qaida aiding Hamas (don't remember seeing any reports of them helping one another before) with more guerilla fighters/armaments?

Of course they are. He is the president elect of the great satan. Did anyone really think that Al-q harbored in its heart a special hatred of W?
Democrat, republican, Bob Barr, Ralph Nader, it's all the same for the purposes of this exercise.
But does it matter in any event? For the purposes of americans the 'war on terror' is really about domestic politics. What Al-q does or says is completely irrelevant.

I think it does matter because al-Qaida are effectively saying that politically they are on the side of Hamas, perhaps even aligning themselves with Hamas. I'd also disagree with you that for American purposes the 'war on terror' is really about domestic politics - it would seem that a lot of Americans have realised the 'war on terror' is much more about international politics/relations.

It's getting them used to disappointment. Well, he's not going to be able to work a miracle with al-Q because they hate his guts, too.
Kind of like the inauguration here - first we're told that 5 million people are coming, then told that only around 50,000 can get tickets to the actual ceremony - then told the others can see the parade afterwards, but then told yesterday it will be limited to 300,000 people.
The rest are shit out of luck, and will be forced onto the area known as The Mall, where they can freeze in the open and watch on giant TV screens.
I can see a lot of really, really upset people on that day - when they thought their magic moment had arrived, and they were told "get over there behind the fence".

If only al-Q was actually a CIA operation meant to galvanize support for the US government on a domestic level.... wait...
But it was basically what I said, and pretty much had the same meaning.
Even if you stripped it 'basically' down so that it only said what you 'pretty much' say it did, it is still irrelevant since no one here is making those claims, or has; and apparently no one has made those claims in a written or recorded medium at all.
Nope, the only place those claims have been made are in Hotwife's vaguely recollected conversations with some random people somewhere.
So it all hinges on Hotwife's credibility and honesty and, guess what, he has neither. That's what happens when you make a habit of lying and weaseling.

Yeah, but we kinda don't care. The 'devils advocate' thing is kind of cute, but Hotwife doesn't exist in a vacuum. There are plenty of threads, right here, where he has misrepresented material he has presented, so when he presents a characterization that he cannot produce we're entirely justified in dismissing it out of hand. Or perhaps you're new to the internet and still believe that HotForYou92 is really a 16 year old teenager who is really curious about your cock?
In general a touch of skepticism is a default, especially when it involves personal information. When it involves personal info from someone who gets things wrong regular, more than a touch is justified.
Especially when it's something that is supposed to be too numerous to count but didn't spill out anywhere but in his day to day life. I mean, it's not like there are not heated or even exaggerated political opinions stated here or anything that if an idea was so prominent it would have cropped up somewhere that he could point to.
