Forums - General - Has Obama Rattled Al Qaeda's Cage?

That Guy on 26 January 2009

wow. Its official.

Barack Obama. Hated by Terrorists. And Halogamer.

I like how Al Qaeda goes straight to baseless fearmongering when they really have no other reason to hate Obama.

And now they are even trying to goad Obama into staying in Iraq even longer. I believe Iraq will have a stable government and US troops will probably fully withdraw by 2012.

I suspect, however, that there will be US bases there still, just like how the US has bases in Germany and Japan still.

was that necessary?

It was in the context of Obama being a fighter. I just couldn't find any other pictures of him boxing (I wanted the one from the Barack Roll clip, but couldn't find a pic).

Regardless, fighting terrorism this way can be way more effective and way less costly than traditional warfare. This is how you win the war on terror without racking up massive debts in the process, with ideological weapons rather than actual ones. Not to mention this is the only way to build a lasting kind of stability.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.

I know ... Germans on the whole listened to well respected Jewish people and completely rejected the hateful lies that were spread by Adolf Hitler.

They'll  probably ramp up their A game to attack America.

I mean that's why they attacked us in the first place.  They knew if they hit us, American anger would force us to strike back, and there numbers and recruits will rise.

The same thing would happen if Obama ends up being as lax as Bush was on preventing terrorist attacks inside the US.

Unless he takes the unpopular position of turning the other cheek.

It reminds me of that one episode of the boondocks.  Where Martin Luther King comes out of a coma and says that as a true christian we should turn the other cheek and not do anything about 9/11 and he becomes one of the most hated men in the US.

Considering how much democrats and republicans were both calling for blood back then...

Lets hope he's better at stopping terrorist attacks.

You know a thread has come full circle when someone makes a Hitler reference.

One of these days someone is going to have to explain to me why comparing George W. Bush to Hitler is considered to be a fair criticism, but people think it is irrational to compare totalitarian leaders who use propaganda to convince their citizens that the holocaust never existed and the Jewish people should be eliminated to Hitler. 

What I was alluding to was that people only know Barack Hussein Obama in a large portion of the Islamic world by his name and his image. Soon enough the totalitarian state-run press and the terrorist supporting clerics will be able to paint the “True” image of Barack Hussein Obama to their people without any opposing viewpoints.

Can you really discuss Al Qaeda without a consideration of the fundamentalist Islamic countries where it resides?



akuma587 on 26 January 2009

Hamas =/ Al Qaeda.
