Meanwhile, back on the War on Terror…
The US military hands over control of Anbar province to the Iraqis.
Jihad conspiracist Sami Al-Arian has been freed. Ugh:
Palestinian Arab activist, Sami Al-Arian, is free from jail.
His respite from jail may not last long: The former college professor faces a second round of criminal charges in his lengthy legal battle with federal prosecutors.
Al-Arian had been in government custody since he was charged with being the leader in America of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad more than five years ago. He was not convicted at trial, although he subsequently pleaded guilty to lending aid to that group and received a sentence of 57 months. Al-Arian’s incarceration has outlasted that sentence, as prosecutors first used civil contempt charges, then criminal charges, and finally an immigration proceeding to lengthen his stay behind bars.
And ABC reports details of the indictment of suspected al Qaeda bigwig Affia Siddiqui, who was caught with dirty bomb notes and mass casualty plans. Oh, and a liter of cyanide:
Aafia Siddiqui, the alleged Mata Hari of Al Qaeda, was indicted by federal authorities in New York today for allegedly attempting to kill the FBI agents, US soldiers, interpreters and others who attempted to interview her following her July capture in Afghanistan. The seven count indictment detailed her alleged possession of detailed handwritten notes on “dirty bombs,” terrorist recruiting, New York targets, and the relative casualty rates for various weapons of mass destruction.
Aafia Siddiqui, who holds degrees from MIT and Brandeis in biology and neuroscience, allegedly had in her possession when captured by Afghanistan’s National Police on July 17th detailed chemical, biological and radiological weapon information that has been seen only in a handful of terrorist cases, as well as a thumb drive packed with emails, according to the indictment. That information was first reported by ABC News on August 12th. In addition, ABC has learned, the chemicals the indictment alleges Siddiqui had in her possession included about a liter of cyanide.
In Obama world, another master’s degree would have cured Siddiqui’s evil.

I cannot believe there have not been any mentions of Anbar Province during the convention tonight. We need to highlight our successes.
Does this mean we’re not losing the war like the newspapers say?
Puzzled,
Tantor
Right, maybe they should give him a Master’s in chemical engineering.
This doesn’t jive with “If it bleeds, it leads”, so it’s not news.

The Constitution of The United States is in danger!
Muslims in fed terror probe making donations to Obama
The Ikhwan is an Arabic reference to the Muslim Brotherhood, which follows the credo: “The Quran is our constitution, the prophet is our guide; Death for the glory of Allah is our greatest ambition.”
What ever happened to the story of the muslim who was found dead in a Denver hotel around convention time with a large quantity of cyanide or something simlar? Thast was hushed up.
Perhaps concerned about “Mission Accomplished”? If it doesn’t end well in Anbar, the kudos will come back to haunt the RNC, even if the crisis comes months or years from now.
unk, Tantor, ungowa (translated: I’m puzzled too Tantor)
We should just apologize to her and I’m sure she’ll never do it again.
When are we going to realize these people are serious?
Ah yes, the Muslim Brotherhood. Responsible for many acts of Islamic terrorism including the assasination of Sadat. Dates back to the 1940’s. The original Islamic Extremist group.
Notice how all of our enemies seem to contribute to Democrat campaigns? Must just be coincidence, right Trolls?
Speaking of the war on terror, don’t you find it rather odd that the same people that view water boarding as torture and have condemned the Bush Administration for its use on 3 occasions, seem to have no problem with a law enforcement officer using a taser on a 10 year old boy?
Those degrees should be revoked on principle, since they came from US universities.
Tut-tut Michelle, don’t you know that in order to truly rehabilitate this guy, he’ll need more than another degree. With his level of experience, he’d be perfect as a member of Obama’s cabinet.

/sarcasm off
Seems almost like the typical MIT graduate. Liberal Massachusetts thinking. Anti-American hatred at its best – you would never recognize it as one of the birthplaces of Liberty.
From Arutzsheva.com:
I always consult Arabs before I enter the polls. I would never want to offend an Arab. Seriously, all the more reason to vote for McCain. Maybe Obama will get the bin Laden endorsement like Kerry did.
Yeah and donated money too.
Like the guy in Denver. But what’s really important is – does she have a 17 year old daughter “in trouble”?
Hillary you fool – you took Chinese money, when it’s the Arabs you should have bee looking to…
bee=been
When will the democratic liberals realize that the Muslim “extremists” don’t care whose throat they slit in order to terrorize America? They don’t ask one’s party affiliation first! America is their enemy! ALL of America!
Darn. This will just provide another opportunity for Barry Obaaaaaaaaaaaaama to say we’ve lost the war.
Oh wait?! You mean we’re turning over territory and not surrendering?
NEWS FLASH TO PELOSI: US MILITARY MAKING PROGRESS, TAKING ANOTHER STEP TOWARDS WITHDRAWAL AND HANDING OVER POWER TO IRAQIS
We should send Barack over to Anbar to be the community organizer. I’m sure he’ll do just as good a job there as he did cleaning up Chicago
Maybe he can convice them to give up their guns too.
Obama’s formative years were spent in a terrorist breeding ground. There’s no way that did not stick. Obama is not who is says he is. This is the ultimate act of extremists – a fully conscious Manchurian candidate, and the target is the USA.
I mean, since it’s apparently fair game to make any ridiculous story up…

You don’t see the connection between 9/11/01 and
Jeremiah Wright/William Ayers/Barack Obama?
Something wrong…you wanna borrow my glasses?
Our guys and gals are the best (Armed Forces, CIA, FBI and others). Trying their best to stay one step ahead of the dastardly evil doers. They need our support and I look forward to another one of Michelle’s live web events to gather up a record number of Christmas packages.
May God Bless them all.
The war in Iraq is not the war on terror. The terrorists were not in Iraq when we invaded. Obama says we should fight the terrorists where they are. McCain says we should fight everywhere & maybe get a terrorist along the way. Following Obama’s lead has a better chance to get the terrorists.
>Jihad conspiracist Sami Al-Arian has been freed. Ugh:
Thats bad…Instead of spending on Afghanistan and Pakistan, Bush is spending on Iraq in search of non-existing WMDs. Way to go!!!
Hopefully, McCain will address that fact in his speech on Thursday.
Obama is going on The Factor on Thursday – I hope Bill asks the right questions and doesn’t let him weasel out of any of them.
The FBI has exhaustively looked at the 1 lb + quantities of cyanide in the possession of Saleman Abdirahman Dirie in Denver and Aafia Siddiqui in Afghanistan and formed an expert opinion that these small quantities were probably intended for personal use only and were not destined for sale or distribution to the general public.
lgm,
Obama is going to “get the terrorists”? What’s he going to get them? A Congressional apology? Reparations? An immediate withdrawal of our forces so they can have Iraq? A night in the Lincoln bedroom in the White House?
You obviously followed Obama’s lead to the kool-aid stand.
Perhaps they are in Okinawa, as Congressman Murtha believes.

Obama says we shouldfightnegotiate with the terrorists where they are as long as we “hug ‘em and kiss ‘em and squeeze ‘em and love ‘em”. McCain says we should fight everywhere it takesmaybe get aand destroy terrorists along the way. Following Obama’s lead has a better chance to allow us to get attacked again by the terrorists.lgm: I’m very sorry, but I think you’re dead wrong about this….I just hope neither one of us gets the opportunity to discuss this with an extremist or we will both be just dead….well, I won’t be, cause I’m not going to try to hug them and I’m not going to bring a knife to a gun fight. I KNOW they want to kill us, I’m not going to allow a terrorist the chance to kill me first, if I have the option to do something about it. How you approach such a meeting is up to you. I hope that you make what will be a good choice for you.
