Libyan rebel says Osama bin Laden's death won't stop jihadist flow
Christian Science Monitor ^ | Tuesday, May 3, 2011 | Scott Peterson

'Al Qaeda [is] getting more and more organized and bringing people [to Libya] from abroad,' says the rebel, who has been contacted by militants wanting to fight against Col. Muammar Qaddafi. Thousands of miles away from where Osama bin Laden was killed, on a remote chain of Libyan mountains that crown the Sahara Desert, there comes a warning: the ideology of Al Qaeda is certain to outlast the group's most famous leader... Already, says Mr. Naluti, the NATO-led conflict against Col. Muammar Qaddafi -- begun six weeks ago and with no end in sight -- is opening the door to foreign jihadists. The longer it lasts, the greater problem it becomes. "Al Qaeda [is] getting more and more organized and bringing people [to Libya] from abroad," says the believer, adding that he has been contacted by militants wanting to fight in his homeland. He has not joined the frontline against forces loyal to Qaddafi because he says Muslims should not kill Muslims. "This is a great land for Al Qaeda. There are a lot of opportunities for them here. They are not far away in Tunisia, Algeria, and Egypt... For Islamic organizations leadership doesn't mean much, ideology does. Leadership is just a soul that comes and goes. Ideology stays. Now that Bin Laden is dead, a lot of leaders in the shade will come out … and will be smarter than him and better than him... Al Qaeda will continue. The clash of civilizations will continue." That is the assumption of Al Qaeda itself, which on Monday vowed to avenge the killing of Bin Laden, the "Sheikh of Islam."

Great. Now if the idiots running NATO could just figure out which side they should be on, we could maybe make some hay over there.

The only good decisions Obastard ever made were continuations of Bush policies. He has been wrong in EVERY foreign policy decision he has ever made. In the future, presidents will ask themselves, “What would Obama have done?” and then they will do the opposite.

So....we have Obama, McCain, and Graham saying we need to arm, support, and protect the rebels, and the rebels are being reinforced by al-Qaeda. What’s wrong with this picture? Why isn’t this a grand Constitutional crisis? Where’s Rahm? - here’s a crisis being wasted....

For almost ten years we have been slaughtering jihadists by the bushel.Boss bin Laden was only the biggest.
They got shocked and awed and are still being vaporized routinely by unseen and unheard American ordinance from the sky.
We don't do body counts anymore and it's a shame—letting the dumbass jihadists know how many of their fellow evildoers die like dogs for a less than paltry return could make a few of them think otherwise.
We should explain to the barbarian morons that Allah ain't s**t if all he can do is send his most devoted soldiers to Hell thinking they gonna get three score and a dozen amateur booties.

Notice that the ONLY things that have worked out good for America were continuations of Bush policies? Yet you STILL won’t get liberals to turn away from der Fuhrer and admit that practicall all of his policies have made the economy worse and the world less safe.

Careful, that kind of talk will be provocative to the various hate groups on the forum, the same way many of them believe that the continued existence of Israel was the provocation for the 9/11 mass-murderers. :’)
