Blowing up the White House

Naw, they don't mean it. Not really

DUBAI - Al-Qaeda's Iraq branch has threatened to "blow up the White House" in the course of establishing an Islamic caliphate which has started with the proclamation of an Islamic state in Iraq, in an audio message by its chief posted Friday on the Internet.

"We announce today the end of a phase of the jihad (holy war) and the start of a new one ... to usher in the project of an Islamic caliphate and restore Islam's glory," Abu Hamza al-Muhajer said in the message.

"We swear we will not rest from our jihad ... before blowing up the filthiest house, dubbed the White House," he said.

A worldwide Caliphate? They couldn't be saying that. Not after all the Leftists who keep bleating that Islamists don't really mean it.

It has to be wrong. I mean, "Al Qaeda in Iraq"?? But there's no AQ in Iraq!

And it's just a coincidence that this was announced right after Dems took control of Congress.

Yeah. Coincidence.

Denail. Most americans are living in a fantasy of peace and good will not realizing their self inflicted denial of reality.

But Darleen! Just a few weeks ago, somebody commenting on this very blog told me how silly and paranoid I was to think that radical Muslims wanted to establish a worldwide Caliphate. You mean he was wrong? I'm shocked! /sarcasm

More seriously...since Al Qaeda is crowing that they are winning in Iraq (probably because the Dems took over Congress again, and they know the Dems are a joke when it comes to defense), it's more important than ever that we finish the job properly in Iraq and not cut and run. If we withdraw and basically give Al Qaeda a victory, it will be a disgrace this country will never live down.
