Al-Qaeda Warns: Worse than 9/11
Al-Qaeda has not been resting on its laurels after the "spectacular" attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on 9/11. No, they really hope to make a statement soon:
An American member of Al-Qaeda warned in an Internet video that US President George W. Bush should withdraw all his troops from Muslim land or face attacks worse than September 11.
Adam Gadahn, a convert to Islam who has been indicted for treason by a US jury, issued a list of demands and warned they were not up for negotiation.
"Your failure to heed our demands means that you and your people... will experience things that will make you forget all about the horrors of September 11, Afghanistan and Iraq, and Virginia Tech," he said in the video posted on Tuesday.
"You're losing on all fronts and losing big time," said Gadahn, who is the English-language spokesman for Osama bin Laden's terror network.

Born in 1978, Gadahn -- also known Azzam al-Amriki and Azzam the American -- is a native of southern California and has appeared in several videotapes for Al-Qaeda since 2004.
His conversion to Islam came after he began attending the Islamic Centre of Orange County in California, where he is believed to have come under the influence of two foreign-born Islamic radicals.
Gadahn's parents must be so proud!
But don't worry. According to John Edwards, the war on terror is a bumper sticker slogan, made up for political reasons. I'm sure once Bush is out of office, all threats from al-Qaeda and other splinter Islamist groups will disappear. Isn't that what the Democrats have been telling us for the past six years?
