Al-Qaeda Joins the Syrian Rebellion: Al-Qaeda insurgents have now crossed into Syria in an effort to bring down the Syrian regime of Bashar Assad. The armed presence of the terror group raises new concerns over what factions within the Syrian anti-government coalition will emerge triumphant if and when Assad falls.
One Iraqi official said that Nineveh and Anbar have become “land bridges for the transportation of weapons and ammunition from the huge arsenal built up over its years of existence in Iraq.” Funding for the al-Qaeda incursion into Syria is reportedly coming from Saudi Arabia and other Persian Gulf states in the Gulf Cooperation Council.
Fears Iran Is Helping Al Qaeda Plot Atrocity: Iran and al Qaeda's core leadership under Ayman al Zawahiri have established an "operational relationship" amid fears the terror group is planning a spectacular attack against the West.
There are concerns such an attack, possibly targeting the Olympics, would be in revenge for the killing of Osama bin Laden by the US last year. Sky News' intelligence sources have said Iran has been supplying al Qaeda with training in the use of advanced explosives, "some funding and a safe haven" as part of a deal first worked out in 2009 which has now led to "operational capacity".
Al Qaeda's 'morale boost' as it formally joins with Al Shabab: The move is an apparent bid to boost morale after months of setbacks to al Qaeda - including the loss of founder Osama bin laden. One analyst said the connection could signal that the insurgents, known as resourceful, determined and increasingly web-savvy, had al Qaeda's approval for attacks against the West.
Whatever you said about President Obama since he was elected the Taliban and Al Qaeda leaders in particular have been decimated for what it is worth. Since we killed Osama Bin Laden leaders have been falling left and right and I must say thinking about it I have not heard of Al Qaeda doing anything of significance not that we want it. Al Qaeda joining with Al Shabab, helping Syrian protesters, and allying with Iran to harm the west prove Al Qaeda is a wounded animal and a wounded animal as we know can be dangerous to others and more importantly we must emphasize a danger to them themselves.
It is time to listen to A Letter written by Noman Benotman, a former commander in the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group who fought beside Osama against Russia!
The terrorist who said no to Bin Laden:You have lost your way! You are messing around with the DNA of Islam itself. I was impressed when I saw this interview on TV. It is obvious this man was a key high level player before 9/11 and was in on the meeting running up to it. This discussion was about an open letter written by Noman Benotman, a former commander in the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) and a former associate of Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri.
In al Qaeda strategy meetings in Kandahar in 2000, Benotman warned the al-Qaeda leadership of ‘total failure' to realize their aims and called on bin Laden and al-Zawahiri to abandon violence. As you know they did not and he is out for good reason. He was at the high level meeting running up to 9/11, the Davos or terrorism and said no to Osama you will be defeated, this is not about Islam this is not Jihad.
He comes out now and says no this must stop. We are not winning and I was right. We have betrayed Islam. We are killing the very people and cause we were supposed to be fighting for. Knowing our response to past attacks they thought our response would be 200 missiles or so, so they took the chance. Needless to say they did more damage and killed more people than they thought they would and this is just beginning unless the Islamists quit because we must fight for our lives.
Noman Benotman loves and respects Bin Laden but like Al Zawahiri Al Qaeda number two he does not think Bin Laden is very smart. However, he does not have to be. He got this so called Jihad going and has incited the Islamist rancor he intended. whether he's Dead or alive the battle on. For Islamists this has taken on a life of its own. If indeed Bin Laden is alive as we are led to believe, only he can stop this. In reality he is the greatest enemy of his people.
Bin Laden is solely responsible for all this war death and destruction. He's no frigging hero to Muslims. They should hunt him down themselves and end this! Noman considered himself a freedom fighter and he was. He fought alongside Bin Laden against the Russians but said these wars have nothing to do with Islam. It is purely political and it is time to lay down arms, 100% and end all this senseless violence.
We know this but Noman says Al Qaeda and now Islamists of all stripes offers meaning to those who have none and gives them a cause but has nothing to do with Islam or Jihad. This all boils down to communications and I agree but Islamists are not interested in communicating. They are interested in our destruction. violence is their communication.
Osama stop bring shame on Islam. Stop killing your own people. Stop bringing death and destruction on them. You forsook Mullah Omar who invited you into Afghanistan to give you protection. Bin Laden used Afghanistan for his own personal war against the west, the US, and Israel. This is not Islam , this is not Jihad. Restore Muslim integrity, end this now! An Open Letter to Osama bin Laden -- by Noman Benotman | The AfPak ...
I can see some value in helping such as the Syrian protesters being slaughtered but any way you look at it all I can see is much wasted death. OMG if man could only get along, leave well enough alone, and accept others for what they are.

Howdy Jim ... Thanx fer the read. This whole terror thing, I question alot more than I did 5 year's ago. Philosophically I believe the this AQ network, even though may not be in the forefront now, is still plotting attack's, I mean, it's their "job", it's a mission, an ideology, a commitment, etc. Even though they have brought shame to many muslim's, I have talked to a few who sympathized as well with him, that are muslim/ arabic immigrant's (but they talk a lil more openly with me, since they known me for a few year's, and questioned the west on certain thing's, that I couldnt dispute, let's say). A friend Nabil also gave me a tape a few year's back on Bin Laden, and after I watched it, I had a ceratin amount of admiration for the man, and I know that sound's weird, but looking at his life and childhood, the way he defended other kid's from bullies, the way he turned on his capitalistic familia, and went to living in the trenches after getting a taste of the "good life", and western education, his character, devotion, etc, etc ... although at the same time, I had no doubt that he needed to be terminated, which of course is "our" job and commitment in response to the 9/ 11 attack's.
But I still feel that AQ has shit up their sleeve and are restructuring, etc ... I mean ... with his mindset and dedication, it's sort of like the "mob" mentality ... I just dont buy them throwing in the towel, and lying down, we "are" their enemy, as far as their concerned, contaminated their societies with our capitalism, colonialism or whatever they call it.
You know me Jim by now ... I am one who believe's in staying out of alot of folk's business abroad, and am more to letting them do their own battle's. But I will shut the Hell up on this.
Hope thing's are well Bud ....
Things are as well as can be expected. You know, I have no respect for a slime who due to his personal vendetta slaughtered and betrayed his people and his religion according to his own people.
