Qassim-al-Rimi, has not received Obama’s memo that al- Qaeda is on the run.
Just a few weeks ago Barack Hussein Obama boasted that “al-Qaeda was on a path to defeat.”
This is not only delusional, it is dangerously delusional.
Wars are over when one side emerges as victor and the other side surrenders.
You do not end a war with campaign style pronouncements.
During World War II, the allies demanded unconditional surrender from the Axis powers.
Said Roosevelt:
The elimination of German, Japanese, and Italian war power means the unconditional surrender of Germany, Italy and Japan. It does not mean the destruction of the population of Germany, Italy or Japan, but it does mean the destruction of the philosophies in those countries which are based on conquest and subjugation of other people.
This is the philosophy of war we, in the civilized world, must apply to the scourge of Islamism. Anything less will means the destruction of Judeo-Christian civilization.
(AFP) — Al-Qaeda’s military chief in Yemen warned Americans in an audio message posted online Sunday that the Boston bombings revealed a fragile security as he urged Muslims to defend their religion.
Qassim al-Rimi, the military chief of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, said making bombs such as the ones used in the twin blasts in Boston in April, is within “everyone’s reach”.
“The Boston events… and the poisoned letters (sent to the White House), regardless of who is behind them, show that your security is no longer under control, and that attacks on you have taken off and cannot be stopped,” he said, in the message entitled: “A letter to the American people.”
“Every day you will be hit by the unexpected and your leaders will not be able to defend you,” warned the man whose organisation is considered by Washington the world’s most dangerous Al-Qaeda branch.
Rimi said the killing of Al-Qaeda’s founder Osama bin Laden in May 2011 and top Yemeni-American cleric Anwar al-Awlaki in September 2011, had not ended the struggle.
“Have you eliminated the jihadist groups that have spread everywhere after they had only been in Afghanistan? Today, they are in your land or close to it,” he warned.
To the Muslims in the United States, he said: “We encourage you to carry on with this way, be steadfast in your religion.
“Carry out your obligations, defend your religion and follow in the footsteps of those who supported their religion and Ummah (Muslim nation) while they are in their enemy’s den,” he said.

My great fear is that the next target will be a school. I wonder how many liberals will call for banning Islam–a philosophy completely antithetical to the tenets of Western Civilization–when that happens? No, they will insult the American people by “urging calm” and reminding us that Islam is a peaceful religion, and scream that anyone wanting an honest conversation about the threat Islam itself poses is a racist Christianist who wants to impose theocracy and <insert nonsensical hysteria meant to silence here>.
After the Boston bombings, I actually got defriended by someone on FB for suggesting that putting the city on lockdown and cowering in our homes all day was a really bad idea (this would not be such a big deal, except I actually knew the guy personally and had for nearly a decade). I had pointed out that Al Qaeda et. al. would look at our reaction and say, “If this was what two boys could do and cause, imagine what we could do if we actually tried!”
It was the husband of my old flute tutor from school. She was literally my one-on-one instructor for about 6 years, and they got married around the time I finished high school. I didn’t go to the wedding, but we (her students) had a shower for them, and we got on. I mean, if I’d said something inflammatory I suppose I could see it, but all I did was disagree with him. What kind of person kicks someone *they actually know* out of their life for the crime of voicing a different opinion?
FDR didn’t have to contend with Americans that wanted to build a Shinto shrine next to the USS Arizona. Can you imagine the reaction if anyone had to Roosevelt that if we deny the permit for the shrine it will mean the Japanese have won and we will have betrayed our principles?
But Obama believes he can end the war in Afghanistan on a specific date because he says so. Gee, why doesn’t he just decide right now that no wars will ever start while he’s president? Wait, hasn’t he already done that with Major Hasan.
Call the attack on Fort Sumter a failure of defense appropriations. Blame Pearl Harbor on a few rogue employees at the FAA. And Oceania has never been at war with Eastasia.
As long as the White House considers Pamela Geller more dangerous than the detainees at Gitmo the war will not end.
They have regained their momentum in the last 4 years. They now feel bold enough to come after us here. The only near term real problem they have is Syria (which is a big part of the sunni vs shia civil war) where they are being devoured on a scale not seen since Iraq 2004 – 2007. I hope no one says pity the poor syrian people. They and the people of Suadi Arabia, Lebanon, Iran,etc are now harvesting the result of all the hatred sown in that area for centuries. And it will be bitter and vicious. Israel had better be on their toes and in top military form, they’ll need it. The US? Well we have Kerry who is looking for a reset button all over Russia, Gaza Strip, and various other places that Putin is suggesting

There was a piece in yesterdays New York Post in which former President Clinton just roasted current President Obama with comments including, but not limited to, he doesn’t know how the world works. My understanding is that this has not, as yet, been picked up anywhere.

I hate being right.
Wasn’t a friend to start with.

Sometimes even after a long time, you find they were good acquaintances not friends and it can suck.
