Below are some excerpts of the newly released video message by al-Qaeda stooge, Adam Gadahn, who is wanted for treason in America. The message is the 1st Al-Qaeda warning of 2008 which Gadahn boost, in the video, is well-heeled and well-connected. It is mostly in English but his call to attack our President is in Arabic.
If you take away the inflammatory, religious rhetoric and the threats, do you see some similarities in the way Democrats speak out against Bush and our government? Maybe, it is just me or maybe not. But in any event, it is clear to me, the more we, as a nation, are divided, the more we play right into the hands of our enemy.
Just so you know, I'm not a Republican having been turned off to the party in 2006.
I admire Bush, for he is standing up to this Isdlamic threat we face. Yes, mistakes have been made in this war. Wouldn't you expect this to happen? Afterall, there isn't a playbook against Islamism - which seeks to instill a global Islamic state, is there? This relatively new threat has to be fought in ways we never would have dreamed of having to do. This danger has been growing and it will not go away unless we are strong and stand up to it.
Islamists are not just a few rogue Muslims but a well organized, well funded movement(s) which seeks to destroy our way of life. Think about the length and breath of our efforts in the Middle East and elsewhere and the endless supply of Islamists. Pay attention because, it seems to me, the Democratic Presidential candidates tend not to bring this up. Am I wrong? I sure hope so.
Gadahn speaks out against Christianity quite a bit in his message and that Islam is the only true religion and their faith in the one God and his promise of victory has sustained them and helped them to bleed America's budget dry and weaken our military. He even had the audacity to say our baseless Christain faith is what has caused our soldiers to flee in battle when they hear the words of "Allah Akbar" (at the 20 minute mark in the video).

Excerpts from the video:
American Al Qaeda leader Adam Gadahn told his followers to welcome Bush "with bombs and traps" upon his upcoming visit to the Middle East this week.
"The occupied territories are awaiting their first visit by the crusader Bush and the mujahideen are also waiting for him," said Gadahn, a California native and now an Al Qaeda spokesman.
Gadahn is the star of the latest al Qaeda propaganda video to be posted online by the group's media wing, As Sahab.
In his newest dramatic gesture, Gadahn tore up his U.S. passport in protest of the imprisonment of fellow al Qaeda followers Abu Zubaydah, John Walker Lindh and Sheikh Omar Abdul Rahman.
Gadahn made reference to November's Annapolis conference of Middle Eastern leaders, saying it was a gathering of Bush's "loyal puppets." He said the United States has been "unmistakably defeated" in Iraq in Afghanistan and has lost the battle for hearts and minds "in spectacular fashion".

SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ARMED AND DANGEROUS
Good coverage on this evil that threatens our world. You are right on in that as a nation, if we are divided, we will fail.
