Breaking: New Al Qaeda Web Ad Threatens 'Big Surprise'
ABC NEWS ^ | 8-01-07

Posted on 08/01/2007 7:42:44 PM PDT by My Favorite Headache

A new al Qaeda propaganda ad, headlined "Wait for the Big Surprise" and featuring a digitally altered photograph of President George Bush and Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf standing in front of a burning White House, was posted on the Internet today.

The brief clip from al Qaeda's "as Sahab" propaganda arm juxtaposes the doctored photo of Bush and Musharraf along with previously seen images of al Qaeda's top leadership -- Osama bin Laden, Ayman al Zawahri and Adam Gadahn -- as well as a photo of an SUV in a motorcade.

There is no additional information provided in the ad, and it closes with the words, "Soon -- God willing," written across the screen and repeated several times.

Why is ABC news helping the enemy spread propaganda? Never mind, stupid question.

It’s Brian Ross...of course. The man simply can not wait for a massive attack of any kind on the U.S.

Yeah, yeah, every time the Muslims have threatened us in the past it has been an indication that they are impotent, but are trying to scare us.

If they were really about to pull a stunt do you think they'd alert us to it?

Hey, let’s make our own video for a change.

It can be a response to this one, how dare they threaten our President and our White House.

the more they spread garbage like this I believe the safer we are....

imo it means they are having trouble planning/coordinating/pulling off operations....

they never broadcast- just when they need an alternative form of “terror”....

I agree. But the video should be documentary.

This is what ABC considers breaking news? A doctored photo showing some Islamonazi’s wet dream of America & Bush Hatred?

Wow, how many of those could there possibly be on the internet... what an exciting find.

On the other hand ABC probably loaned them the laptop with Photoshop already installed on it. “Call us when you come up with something”...

I'm not seeing what their objective is anymore. They don't kill just for the sake of killing (at least not the leadership, I'm sure they have some lower level whackos who do). No, all their attacks are made with the idea of achieving some political goal, and I just don't see what it is anymore.

A few years ago, their goal was to draw the U.S. into a war in the Middle East, with the idea being that the ME would unite against the US, and the ME, through this unity, could once again become one nation (or caliph) as it was in the 7th century. With the AQ leader as the top dog, of course. But they only half succeeded. They drew the US into war, but the rest of it didn't work out.

So what in tarnation is their goal now? Just plain old nihilism?

Maybe they’re plotting a Halloween III - type scheme

I guess if he reports an imminent attack every couple of weeks, he can say "See, I told you so" when one actually happens.

There are any of a number of things that they could do to set this country off be it blowing up civilians in crowded places, shooting up some malls or any of the other things they do. They could simply go do it and that would be that. No need for intimidation tapes.
