I see that Al Qaeda are threatening the Gulf.
Can't help but wonder what the consequences of an attack here would be - certainly no shortage of targets. Quite worrying!
Ayman al-Zawahiri also condemned the policies of his native Egypt.
In the video, he presents himself as a scholar in front of a bookshelf filled with Islamic legal texts, rather than as a warrior on the battlefield, as he has done in previous videos.
He says: "You should not concern yourself with the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. They are already doomed.
"Instead you should worry about your presence in two areas. The first is the Gulf, from where you will be expelled... And the second is Israel, because the jihadi reinforcements are getting closer."
The deputy to Osama Bin Laden says al-Qaeda has "repeatedly offered a truce" so now has "all legal and rational justification to continue to fight you".

This is interesting. Saudi Arabia (and Pakistan) has a real chance for an Islamic revolution. The occupations in Iraq and Afghanistan have been defeated (thankfully, viva la resistance) but now that Al Qaeda has turned its attention on the Arab governments and Israel, I don't know how this will pan out. Hopefully AQ will only attack zionist military targets, and if they do join ranks with the Palestinian resistance it will supplement the resistance and not divide it as what happened in Iraq.

When has Al Qaeda attacked military targets yet? They only do government and civilian targets.

Dear All,
When Osama speaks, I listen. This man does NOT joke around!

Here are a few questions for the Muslim folk on this forum.
1) Do you think that Al Qaeda has the right to attack the UAE because it disagrees with the liberal Islam practiced here.
2) Do you think that Al Qaeda has the right to use terror to try to expel non-Muslims from Muslim lands, including the UAE?

Hi K, I'm back in the UK permanently now but was having a quick revisit to the site to get the gen and do you know something, I reckon you could be a reporter. You have a real knack for asking the searching questions that cut through the bull and get to the centre of things... and I may just pop back to see the answers to this one because I'd be interested to see how people respond. Some will do doubt have to do some real soul searching about West/Middle East and what's right and wrong.

These are the AQ operations that I support. I support any and all attacks against American soldiers stationed abroad.

Valkyrie, are you a member of Al Qaeda? If not, it doesn't really matter to me what you think valid targets are since we are talking about Al Qaeda here. :D
As I pointed out before, Al Qaeda seems to attack only government officials and civilians. They don't tackle military targets in the Middle East.

Ummm - kanelli, if you click through on the link above you will see that Al Qaeda did attack the USS Cole (a military target) when it was in the Yemeni port of Aden (i.e. in the Middle East).
Just pointing this out.. I'll let the two of you continue to slug it out :)

it is rumoured that Al Qaeda will never attack the UAE since there is an agreement whereby Al Qaeda launders its money through the UAE so hurting the UAE economically would hurt Al Qaeda's funding

Valkyrie, it is smart for you to ask me what I support instead of assuming. I support Israel's right to exist. Why? Because IT DOES exist and I don't want to see Israelis/Jews slaughtered. Having said this, I also support the Arabs/Muslims in the neighbouring countries who deserve a fair deal. Currently Palestinians are being treated atrociously by the Israelis and I do not support that at all. Do you have a problem with my opinion on this?
I do not support the Iraqi resistance - they should be focusing on forming police and military and a government so that the coalition can leave. They are currently trying to fight he coalition so that the sectarian violence can break out and each sect of Islam can fight it out for dominance in the new government. Religion is put above what is best for the people and country. I don't approve of that.
No, I do not support Hizbollah as an organisation. I will only support an official army associated with the Lebanese government which was elected by the majority of the Lebanese people.

You can't be against the occupation of Iraq without supporting the resistance. You also completely steamrolled over my question about supporting the Palestinian resistance. Do you support the armed struggle against the zionist occupation of Palestine?
kanelli
Yes I can be against the resistance movement and still support the coalition leaving Iraq. I don't think the coalition should leave until there is some stability though. You didn't ask me about that - made more assumptions, as usual.
I also didn't steamroll over the Palestinian resistance question, I just didn't see it there amongst the others. To answer your question, I think they do have a right to resist in order to fight for what the internationally community has proposed for borders for Israel and Palestine, and to fight any injustices committed by the Israelis, like stopping people from going to work and school etc. They do not have the right to fight to wipe Israelis off the planet completely. (And same goes for the Israelis with the Palestinians.)
So what are you beefs now Valkyrie?
Are we going to go back to the Al Qaeda topic now or what?

You're right, I probably shouldn't celebrate the deaths of occupation soldiers. It is, however, understandable for people to rejoice their deaths.
Edit: The Iraqis and Afghans that the soldiers are occupying are even poorer than the American soldiers. They have alternatives than to join the military, they can also be conscientious objectors to the war.
Edit 2: Bringing the troops home in body bags will spark a catalyst for the anti war movement in the States. Just compare the opposition to the Iraq war to that of Afghanistan. If 5,000 more soldiers need to die in Iraq in order for the occupation to flee Iraq, then so be it.

American imperialists who travel thousands of miles to bomb, mutilate, kill and destroy poor Third World people and their dwellings are far from the innocent victims they are depicted by some here. They are barbaric war criminals, who are voluntarily fighting against their own interests, as well as ours, because the interests of working people everywhere are the same: control over the conditions of their work place and the full value of their labor. Nazi soldiers' excuses of only doing their duty were not accepted as valid after World War 2. Neither should American imperialists be excused from responsibility by statements of fighting for their country or any other meaningless cliche.
not funny at all........those troops are poor ppl cant afford to pay the expensive crap in US sothe rich congress morons send them to die...
Tough situation buddy, but they're on the wrong side, and deserve to die. That is not an excuse. At the end of the day they are still serving in an army of occupation and oppression. Rationalize, justify, or equivocate all you want - nothing will change this. So before you start indulging yourself in a spate of imperialism-apologist, reactionary bullshit, just remember the German soldiers in World War II stationed at the death camps were "products of the system" too.
Lets see 3,000 , 6,000 , 100,000 more!

To support anti-imperialism in Lebanon is to support Hizbollah as it is the *only* anti-imperialist military capable of meaningfully repelling and detering israeli and american invasion. It is not a rightwing organization it is a multi-tendency resistance and civil service group. The Lebonese Communist Party has called on its supporters to join Hizbollah in struggling against the Israeli invasion. Hizbollah announced that it will pay rent for a full year for all 15,000 families left homeless by the zionist bombing and invasion campaign while they rebuild their houses. If we're anti-imperialists who want to stop israeli expansion, who want to see arab bullets in zionist brains today instead of waiting for some hypothetical seperate and new army with no political basis to take the place of the Lebonese resistance at some hypothetical future date; than we are all Hezbollah.
I do not support Hezbollah in any internal political agenda, but no internal political agenda is possible or relevant under israeli genocidial occupation, and those who i would support politically, the Lebonese Communist Party, call on people to support Hezbollah's resistance. I wont reject the Lebonese working class just because i don't care for the flag they've decided to rally under, they struggle collectively against the imperialist aggressor either way.

Valkyrie, did you enjoy it a couple of days ago when a suicide bomber in Kandahar approached a Canadian army convoy that was distributing pencils and notebooks to a horde a children and blew himself up? He killed and injured more than just Canadian soldiers there... Perhaps you don't mind a little "collateral damage" for insurgents to acheive their goals, which actually makes the insurgents much like any other army on the planet with their view of "collateral damage". Something to think about next time you complain about civilian deaths, eh?
