how al qaeda got its groove back

For eight years Al Qaeda hadn't managed to land any significant punch on the American mainland.
George Bush had given the Jihadis the wars they still can't quite believe in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Guantanamo Bay had continued to operate in spite of the best efforts of Al Qaeda sympathisers in Time Magazine and Newsweek.
The fifth column hiding in the US was all but neutralised through sheer fear.
And even when the Islamic Republic of Iran looked to have successfully broken the public will of Americans on the homefront by murdering 5000 American troops through its Al Qaeda proxies in Iraq, even then, Bush didn't pull out.
Instead he unleashed Petraeus.
Petraeus was no fun for Jihadi's.
To find Petraeus, President Bush had to wade through an army top heavy with Clinton era appointees who were more comfortable discussing their sexualities than waging war.
But General Petraeus knew how to wage war.
And soon Al Qaeda was once more being attrited to destruction around Iraq and Afghanistan discovering that combat with the American army is far less fun than slitting the throats of air hostesses and crashing jet liners into buildings.
Al Qaeda has always been quite good in battle against air hostesses.
Slightly less good when they come up against the American army or the Brits.
But Bush is gone.
And we're left with President Spike Lee or whatever his name is.
And in the space of a year Obama has almost handed the entire ball game over to the Muslims.
Let's recap on the key role President Barack Obama has played in the revitalisation of Al Qaeda.
Barack Obama has released Al Qaeda agents from Guantanamo Bay, (two of whom are now living in Ireland, thank you Barack, thank you so much for those), releasing the terror army's assassins so that they can resume their nefarious deeds wherever and whenever they wish.
Barack Obama has drawn down troops from Iraq and announced a withdrawal date from that country, effectively giving the Iranians and their Al Qaeda proxies something to aim for in their strategy to outlast the Americans.
Barack Obama, in drawing down troops from Iraq, has taken the pressure off the Iranians and Al Qaeda, who have both simply redeployed terror assets to Afghanistan while maintaining their sabotage of American backed democracy in Iraq.
Barack Obama has surreptitiously suspended the No Fly list for Jihadis, as shown by the Jihad Knickerbocker Glory attack at Christmas when a Nigerian Al Qaeda agent had no problems boarding a flight for the United States and only failed to destroy it because the bomb attached to his genitals didn't explode properly. Allah U Ouch Bar as we say in the trade. Barack U Incompetent Clown Bar.
Barack Obama has once more fostered a notion in the upper ranks of the American army that sensitivity training to Muslims is more important than wiping Al Qaeda from the face of the earth. Hence Hassan Malik and numerous fellow Muslim terrorists had no problem infiltrating the ranks of the American army. After the Al Qaeda attack on Fort Hood, when terrorist Muslim Hassan Malik murdered 13 people and an unarmed baby, after the attack I say, we were treated to a new level of obscenity with the commanding General at the base saying how proud he was of the way his men gave medical treatment to the wounded and dying. His words amounted to a most shameful and abject reassertion of Clinton era Generalship. Better than Al Qaeda could ever have hoped for. Hassan Malik's family have of course been permitted to stay in the United States where they continue to dine out on the largesse of the country they wish to destroy.
Barack Obama's failure to act against Al Qaeda cells in the US, led directly to yesterday's car bomb attack on Times Square New York. Typically New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg, a billionaire managerial idiot bien pensant who believes in nothing and no cause, typically Bloomberg went live on television talking about an "amateurish" bombing attempt. Bloomberg was trying to distract attention from the near certainty that the car bomb was an Al Qaeda device. One New York police officer responded to Bloomberg's posturings by saying: "Nine Eleven was amateurish. They still managed to kill 3000 people." Barack Obama's administration is pursuing the line that the New York bombing could have been staged by anyone. The writer Mark Steyn has noted that the car bomb was placed close to the offices of the company that makes South Park, a cartoon which Al Qaeda agents have been successful in persuading the Comedy Central television network to censor. A young member of Al Qaeda openly printed the addresses of the makers of South Park on a Jihadi website. This young Al Qaeda thug did so in the full knowledge that neither he nor his family will ever be thrown out of America by Barack Obama.
