OSAMA BIN LADEN ON THE MOVE?

From the Asia Times (hat tip to Weasel Zippers):

ISLAMABAD - After a prolonged lull, the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has launched a series of covert operations in the rugged Hindu Kush mountains of Pakistan and Afghanistan following strong tip-offs that al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden has been criss-crossing the area in the past few weeks for high-profile meetings in militant redoubts.

[...]

Officials are said to be "stunned" by the visibility of Bin Laden's movements, and their frequency, in a matter of a few weeks in the outlawed terrain of Pakistan and Afghanistan, the most unprecedented reports about him since he evaded the US in the Tora Bora mountains in Afghanistan in 2001.

The development has fueled speculation in intelligence circles that al-Qaeda could be planning another major attack along the lines of the September 11, 2001, assault on New York and Washington, and the July 2007 foiled bomb attack in London.

However, extensive investigations by Asia Times Online, including exchanges within al-Qaeda's camps, point in another direction: given the nature of Bin Laden's meetings, this appears to be the beginning of a new era for a broader struggle in which al-Qaeda, through its Laskhar al-Zil (Shadow Army), will try to capitalize on the Arab revolts and the Palestinian struggle and also revitalize and redefine its role in Afghanistan....

We shouldn't be surprised. See these two stories: Libyan rebel commander admits his fighters have al-Qaeda links and 'Al-Qaeda snatched missiles' in Libya.

Yesterday, Obama stated that the mission in Libya is succeeding. What is his definition of success? The reactivation of Osama bin Laden's worldwide jihad?

Rollingstone Writes Rambling, 10,000+ Word Article About Genocide In Darfur And Only Mentions Jihad Once

... and fails to use the word Islam a single time.

In one passsage they describe the breakdown of the peace talks which could have gotten the "refugees" (read Infidels) out of the camps and back into their homeland. See if you can decipher what the fuck is going on here (by the way, it is important to note that Minnawi and Abdul Wahid are negotiating for the "refugees, while the other names are the names of either U.N. players, or Arab Sudanese government leaders) :

The mediators gathered in a conference room, and called in Minnawi and Abdul Wahid, one after the other, Zoellick and Obasanjo working them over. Frazer, who had accompanied Zoellick to the talks, had visited Abdul Wahid in his hotel room earlier that day. The rebel leader had been putting on his tie, getting ready to sign the peace agreement. "He was so happy," Frazer recalls. The deal, she felt, had been in many ways written for Abdul Wahid — it even guaranteed him a powerful job, as head of the government's proposed Darfur Authority, with broad powers to rebuild the region. When the details had been announced, Abdul Wahid had practically floated out of the room.

But now, talking with Zoellick and Obasanjo in the palace, the rebel leader refused to sign. He had spent hours scouring the details of the land settlements, he announced, and it wasn't enough.

"Now come, my boy," Obasanjo said. "You haven't fought a war like I have, and won a war as I have done." If Abdul Wahid wanted to be a great leader of his people, Obasanjo said, he needed to sign.

Abdul Wahid refused to budge. It was a betrayal of his people, he said. He would be killed if he signed.

Frazer later came to believe that someone — maybe the Eritreans or the Libyans, both of whom had been backing the rebels — had gotten to Abdul Wahid. "He felt like his life was being threatened," she says. "He was begging for understanding, and we were twisting his arm."

Minnawi had begun the day conflicted about the deal

(Pastorius note: he was conflicted about a deal he was signing which had been brokered by the UN and negotiated with Abdul Wahid),

but throughout the session he seemed to be wearing down. He looked uncomfortable in his suit, and to the assembled diplomats he seemed much smaller than the occasion, intimidated by the power in the room. "If you don't sign," Zoellick (UN guy) told Minnawi, "we'll drop you. We'll drop you like a rock."

All night, the diplomats pressed Minnawi, pushing him to name any concessions he wanted. Eventually, near dawn, the rebel leader asked Obasanjo for time to consult his commanders in the field.

"When are you going to be back?" Obasanjo demanded.

"Soon," Minnawi said.

"What do you mean by 'soon'?" the Nigerian asked. "Christ said he would be back soon, and that was 2,000 years ago."

"Soon," Minnawi promised.

As the diplomats recessed, word began to spread that Minnawi's brother had been killed in a janjaweed raid.

10 thousand-plus words. No mention of Islam. Only one mention of Jihad, and here it is (it is very telling):

Back in Washington, with the possibility of intervention in Darfur slipping away, Jendayi Frazer renewed her push for military options. The effort seemed quixotic at best: Few believed the Americans, immersed in two theaters of war, would deploy to a third. But Frazer believed that President Bush, who took home a memo on Sudan each Friday, was seriously considering military action. "It was his inclination, absolutely," she says. Then, in November 2006, the administration's new envoy to Sudan, Andrew Natsios, made the mistake of mentioning to reporters that the White House was considering a "Plan B" in case diplomacy failed. The blowback was fierce. European allies were furious, and Bashir warned that sending U.S. troops to Sudan would only serve to attract terrorists and broaden the global jihad. Bush quietly shelved the idea of military action.

Yes, sending U.S. troops to Sudan would have broadened the global Jihad, because that's what Sudan is all about; JIHAD!

And, this Abdul Wahid character. Who the fuck is he? Gee, do you think he might possibly be a Muslim negotiating on behalf of the Infidel, and, if so, why?

He could simply be a representative of one of the oppressed Sufi Muslim tribes. They are considered Infidels too. But, Abdul Wahid said he couldn't sign the agreement because it would be a betrayal to his "people". The Ummah.

But, of course, Rolling Stone wouldn't recognize this.

The Sudanese and Darfur Genocides are all about Islam. They are all about Muslims waging Jihad against the Infidels. That's all it is about. There is nothing else to it.

And yet, no one will tell the truth.

HOW THE MSM WOULD LIKE TO HEADLINE THE FORT HOOD JIHAD

A few examples of what the mainstream media would like to see in print:

When in-your-face, Islam-driven slaughters such as the jihad at Fort Hood and 9/11 occur, the msm have to break a least a few lines of political correctness. Not for long, but possibly for long enough for those who still have eyes and mind to do a bit of research about the motives. And once that bit of research is done, BHO loses even more of smidgen of credibility he has.

Let the multiculturalists perseverate. The truth will seep through anyway, and the American people will rally as patriots. At least, such is what I hope will be the only good outcome of the jihad at Fort Hood.

And on this Veterans Day, say a prayer for the Fort Hood fallen and their families.
