"He has retired to a secret tropical island, with his Helliburton pension, golfing with Jack Kennedy and sharing peanut butter and bacon sandwiches with Elvis. Yucking it up with Danny Pearl. There's a greenish glass jar in the entertainment center, beside the big screen TV. Inside, a Roswell alien floats gently, gently, upside down. A pallid little creature bobbing in a lava lamp. Some sick bastard has slapped a decal on it; 'Don't Mess With Texas'."
And near the beach, under the shade of the palms, a bearded figure in a red Adidas track suit practices his morning yoga and sings songs of la Revolución.

Posted by: otter at March 19, 2008 8:07 PMUh...peanut butter and BACON? I think it's banana. But now we know what righties like to eat. Mmm, grease. So purifying. So clear. So truthy.

Posted by: The Phantom at March 19, 2008 9:14 PMI dont know if he is alive or dead....But whoever is releasing these messages this tells me they want to expand their tactics. So as Al Queda in Iraq blew up the that very special Shiite shrine, golden mosque??, to inflame sectarian violence it sounds like he wants to try to pick a fight with Catholics....do something outrageous to offend catholics enlarge the conflict.
I am not catholic, I dont know what an attack on the vatican would do in the catholic community. But I know that it is one of the plots that has been floating around for awhile.
Posted by: Stephen at March 19, 2008 10:12 PM"The message, produced by al Qaeda media arm As-Sahab in the lunar month which ended on March 8, carried an animation of a spear piercing through a red map of Europe with blood splashing as its tip penetrated the surface."

Am I the only one to notice the spear "animation" is in fact a lame hack-job of a scene from the movie 300?

fidel castro...not dead enough
Posted by: kelly at March 19, 2008 10:59 PMI won't believe Castro is dead until I see a note signed by Castro saying " I died peacefully in my sleep at 7:10 this morning. Funeral will be 3 days after I thaw out".

Posted by: Griff at March 20, 2008 12:33 AMWe aren't even sure Trudeau is truly dead, as no one drove a stake through his heart.
Posted by: Simeon George Drakich at March 20, 2008 9:08 AMThe al Qaeda puppeteers are talking to the Muslims in Europe, presenting the Ummah as victims under attack. In their zany ideology, this gives them holy, sanctified justification to strike at the Crusaders.
There's one section that is aimed at both Europe and the Muslims though:
"To sum up, then, the laws of men which clash with the legislations of Allah the Most High are null and void, aren’t sacred, and don’t matter to us.
And in addition your practical stance towards the al-Yamamah deal requires you to admit that there are some values which are greater than your values.
In closing, I tell you: if there is no check on the freedom of your words, then let your hearts be open to the freedom of our actions."
This condescending bs is meant to squarly put Europe in Dhimmi class, telling them to honour commitments made to the Muslim overlords, or else. It also reaffirms Islamic supremacism over Dhimmi lands, religion and culture, bolstering the Ummah's arrogant swagger.
Savage little buggers deserve more and better cartoons of mass destruction. Where's Fitna?
Posted by: irwin daisy at March 20, 2008 9:20 AMIrwin, you're taking seriously a guy who's minions took a clip of a Spartan spear sticking out of a Persian for their video. Who the hell cares what they say? They're idiots. They couldn't organize a two man rush on a three hole sh*t house.
Our problem in Canada is not these knobs. Our problem is the monolithic Liberal Party/MSM coalition, who have decided to pin their hopes for power on hating America and multi-culti goodness. The actions dictated by that choice will gut any effort to fight the enemy abroad.
Historically thats what Trudeau did, and it was very successful because "let the Yanks do it" was a viable option. A Soviet invasion of Canada was not something the Americans could allow, so Trudeau let them spend all the money while Canada flirted with the Soviets.
That doesn't stand up any more. The Yanks don't actually -need- Canadian help in Afghanistan or Iraq, it only makes the war a little cheaper for them. They can cut us loose militarily, because terrorism in Canada doesn't threaten their territory.
The Liberal/MSM policy of lipping off to the Yanks and importing more and more people from Islamofascist countries like Pakistan and the Sudan means two things. First, we won't be able to go fight them where they live because our armed forces CAN'T GET THERE ALONE. We use American transport. If they tell us to shove it, we stay home.
Second, if we don't fight 'em where they live, we are soon going to be fighting them where -we- live. Like, at Yonge and Bloor.
Even disorganized worthless knobs can make a mess if they have government subsidy, look at Caledonia.
Posted by: The Phantom at March 20, 2008 11:48 AMPhantom,
I think I led off with, "puppeteers." Anyhow, the main problem here, as always, is the media taking the ungroomed troglodytes seriously and automatically supplying them with billions in free media exposure. So, once again the message gets out to the madmen for free.
All I was commenting on was the probable purpose of the message.
