A Kuwaiti newspaper printed Osama bin Laden’s will yesterday. In it he apologizes to his children for neglecting them in favor of pursuing Jihad against the West. He also instructs his children not to join al-Qaeda and his wives not to find new husbands. They should instead focus on raising the kids.

The four-page document, published in a Kuwaiti newspaper, is largely devoted to justifying the terrorist’s efforts to destroy America and Israel. There is no mention of possessions. Bin Laden was believed to have inherited an £18 million fortune from his father, a construction magnate in Saudi Arabia.

The instruction to his 24 children not to fight jihad cites a precedent from the Islamic texts. Omar bin al-Khattab, the successor of the Prophet Mohammad as Islam’s leader, also left written instructions to his son, Abdullah, not to wage holy war.

US news agencies are reporting that Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden is dead and US intelligence is in possession of his body. Initial reports are that he was killed inside Pakistan nearly a week ago.

Eric Holder was forced to announce that his planned ACLU backed civilian court trial for KSM had to be scrapped. Instead, KSM will be prosecuted by military tribunal at Gitmo. Holder was practically choking back his rage at having to move the trial. If Holder had any balls he would resign, but he’s too chickenshit to do that. He likes the power too much. He likes running a racist, left wing DOJ too much. His little plan to give KSM a public trial in Manhattan was one of the worst ideas in history. Eric Holder is a disgrace. He was a disgrace when he worked for Clinton and he’s an even bigger disgrace now.

Here’s crybaby Holder:

President Obama’s stepped up drone attacks are apparently kicking Al Qaeda’s ass — at least according to The NY Slimes. I’m totally behind the president on this one. I’m glad that we’re killing the enemy.

I just can’t resist pointing out how differently drone attacks are treated by the media under Obama compared to Bush.

Bush was an evil war criminal when he launched drone attacks, but Obama is doing the right thing. The NY Slimes would have smeared Bush in today’s piece, but they completely spare Obama any criticism. Again, I don’t think Obama deserves any criticism on this, but it really shows once again how corrupt the media is.

From ABC News:

A U.S. commando attack in Somalia has killed an al Qaeda operative who is on the FBI’s list of most wanted terrorists, sources tell ABC News.

The dead terrorist, Saleh Ali Nabhan, is believed to have taken part in the 1998 attacks on U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. He is also believed to have orchestrated the 2002 bombing of a resort hotel in Mombasa, Kenya, and a failed missile attack on an Israeli airliner leaving Mombasa airport.

Several sources tell ABC News at least one U.S. helicopter fired on a convoy carrying suspected al Qaeda targets in southern Somalia. An American official says a U.S. Navy ship was also nearby to monitor the situation and provide assistance if needed.

Ali Nabhan’s death has not yet been officially confirmed, but sources tell ABC News that his body is now in U.S. custody.

Ali Nabhan, a 28-year-old Kenyan, is on the FBI’s most wanted list for terrorist activities such as the resort and missile attacks as well as participation in the 1998 attack on the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.

An internal U.S. government report described to ABC News details Ali Nabhan’s efforts in Somalia as a top al Qaeda officer in East Africa. The report claims that Ali Nabhan ran training camps in Somalia for foreign fighters, including some Americans of Somali descent. Some of the graduates of these terror camps have been tied to attacks and threats around the globe, the report states.

According to one source, U.S. military helicopters attacked suspected al Qaeda elements traveling south of Mogadishu and killed all the occupants of the convoy. Initial reports say the U.S. choppers landed on the scene and took the bodies with them. Ali Nabhan’s body was among the causalities, the source said.

A U.S. official confirms that Ali Nabhan’s body was recovered by the attacking U.S. forces.

That was a gutsy move on our part. Major kudos to President Obama for having the stones to approve a mission like that. It sounds like our special ops guys once again performed flawlessly.

On June 30, a terrorist named Murasil al-Fajr posted a 179-page book on a well known Jihadi website. The book was written by Abu-Yahya al-Libi (pictured above) with an introduction by Bin Laden’s #2 Ayman al-Zawahiri.

The book titled, “Guidance On The Ruling Of The Muslim Spy” is meant to provide other terrorists with religious guidance on the thorny issue of Muslim spies.

What Al-Libi lays out is a startling look at just how devastating Bush’s anti-terror policies have been.

Here are some of the highlights:

“The spies… were sent to penetrate the ranks of the Muslims generally, and the mujahidin specifically, and [they] spread all over the lands like locusts.”

“The spies are busy day and night carrying out their duties in an organized and secret manner… How many heroic leaders have been kidnapped at their hands? How many major mujahidin were surprised to be imprisoned or traced?  Even the military and financial supply roads of the mujahidin, which are far from the enemy’s surveillance, were found by the spies.”

Western spies are found under every conceivable cover, al-Libi wrote.  “They have among them old hunchbacked men who cannot even walk, strong young men, weak women inside their house, young girls, and even children who did not reach puberty yet.  The spy might be a doctor, nurse, engineer, student, preacher, scholar, runner, or a taxi driver.  The spy can be anyone….”

“The occupation armies completely rely on recruiting spies and informants from the Muslim lands they usurped and conquered… The spy lives among Muslims, being one of them: living their life, wearing their dress, eating what they eat… Therefore, he can access what the armed soldiers of the occupation cannot put hands on.”

Al-Libi goes on to say he would rather not write about this stuff, but feels obliged to because it’s such a huge problem. He writes that the issue of Western spies infiltrating their organizations must be discussed and can no longer be avoided.

“Taking into consideration the importance of the issue and the vital need to clarify its details, I found myself obliged to write about it…the issue cannot be delayed anymore.”

“This issue cannot be solved by hiding or eliminated by neglecting. It cannot be stopped if we don’t talk about it because its wickedness is overwhelming, the situation is dangerous, the damage is massive, the war fires are growing.”

The book is 88-pages after being translated into English and offers a fascinating look into the mind of the enemy. Their belief that killing Americans and other infidels is “God’s work” continues to make radical Islam the most serious threat to America.

Contrary to what President Obama says about Bush’s policies making America “less safe”, this book and mountains of other evidence show otherwise. President Bush understood that his job was not to make the whole world like us, but rather to make our enemies fear us.

Hunting down the terrorists like dogs, killing them, and/or extracting information from them by any means necessary was and is the best strategy for keeping America safe.

In an effort to take Obama’s economic failures off the front page, democrats once again resurrected an issue that so far has also been a failure — CIA witch hunts.

CIA Director Leon Panetta supposedly told Congress about a CIA program last week that up until that point had been kept from Congress at the behest of Vice President Dick Cheney.

Liberals in Congress predictably ran to the press and pointed to Panetta’s disclosure as proof that the CIA lies to Congress, which means Nancy Pelosi was telling the truth when she made that accusation some weeks ago.

You can’t tell the media about a “secret” program they can’t know about, because like a child they’ll keep digging and begging until they find out the secret.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting today new details on the secret program that Panetta disclosed to Congress.

Apparently, the program involved the assassination of top Al-Qaeda leaders.

Amid the high alert following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, a small CIA unit examined the potential for targeted assassinations of al Qaeda operatives, according to the three former officials. The Ford administration had banned assassinations in the response to investigations into intelligence abuses in the 1970s. Some officials who advocated the approach were seeking to build teams of CIA and military Special Forces commandos to emulate what the Israelis did after the Munich Olympics terrorist attacks, said another former intelligence official.

"It was straight out of the movies," one of the former intelligence officials said. "It was like: Let’s kill them all."

I hope liberal democrats are not hanging their hat on this one. If the left thinks Americans are going to be upset about a program to kill Al-Qaeda terrorists, they’re wildly mistaken.

Terrorists should be hunted down and killed. Not arrested, not brought back for Eric Holder to give rights to, but killed on the spot.

The most troubling aspect of this latest revelation is not that such a program was being discussed, but that such a program was not immediately implemented.

More troubling still, is the fact that Director Panetta’s knee-jerk reaction to learning of the program was to cancel it.

As usual, this latest CIA dust-up is more about politics than anything else. Like Eric Holder’s determination to prosecute the very people who’ve kept us safe, Democrats are determined to play politics with our national security.

It’s ironic that less than 24 hours after president Obama signed the absurd executive order to close Gitmo within a year, we learn about yet another terrorist returning to the fight. Said Ali al-Shihri was released from Gitmo back to Saudi Arabia 10-months ago and now he’s in Yemen serving as the No.2 man in the Yemeni branch of Al-Qaeda.

Al-Shihri supposedly completed a Jihad rehabilitation program in Saudi Arabia (I kid you not) and then was released. Basically, the Saudi’s put him through a program that tells him everything that has been drilled into his head since birth about Islam and infidels is all wrong and he shouldn’t believe it anymore. Problem solved! Yeah right.

Like all liberals, Obama is naive as hell when it comes to the war on terror. Gitmo is the perfect place to house these animals and should in fact be expanded rather than closed. In the end, he’s just going to have another Gitmo setup on U.S. soil and call it something else. Closing the facility in Cuba is purely symbolic and makes liberals feel good inside even though it doesn’t actually solve anything.

The idea that we should base our foreign policy in any way on what other countries think of us or restoring our supposedly damaged image is not only stupid — it’s dangerous. All the countries who bitch about Gitmo have suffered horrific terror attacks since 9/11 while Bush’s aggressive policies have kept us safe.

Obama should remember the old phrase “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.”

Al-Qaida’s #2 terrorist, Ayman al-Zawahri released a new video message filled with the usual rantings of a crazed lunatic. New this time however, were his personal attacks on Barack Obama.

Zawahri called Obama ‘abeed al-beit’ which directly translated means “house negro” or “house slave” according to the AP. The video even includes old footage of Malcom X talking about blacks working in their white masters house.

The propaganda messages come out of these people really are incredible. Malcom X? How shrewd is that?

Ayman al-Zawahri has surfaced in a new Internet tape praising the latest militants killed by U.S. forces in Pakistan in July.

Al Qaeda’s second-in-command Ayman al-Zawahri appeared in a videotape posted on the Internet on Friday, the second recording since he was reported to have been killed or wounded in Pakistan last month.

The video posted on a Web site often used by al Qaeda showed Zawahri in white robes and white turban in front of a green backdrop, praising Abu Khabab al-Masri and three other militants killed in Pakistan’s border region in July.

There were rumors flying around that Zawahri may have been injured or killed in July when the CIA targeted a militant safehouse using a unmanned Predator drone.
