California Man Revealed as al Qaeda Leader

Adam Gadahn Update from ABC News, with thanks to Mackie:

For the first time, a former Orange County, Calif. teenage rock music fan has revealed his role as a top al Qaeda leader.

Adam Gadahn, who disappeared from California seven years ago, appeared unmasked on an al Qaeda tape made public on the internet today.

As previously reported by ABC News, the FBI had concluded that the masked man was Gadahn based on voice analysis of previous al Qaeda tapes. On today's tape, Gadahn is bearded, wearing a turban.

He denounces U.S. soldiers in Iraq and their alleged murder and rapes of Iraqi citizens.

"Who are the real terrorists?" Gadahn asks.

When referring to the alleged atrocities committed by U.S. Marines in Iraq, Gadahn also says, "It's hard to imagine that any compassionate person could see pictures...and not want to go on a shooting spree at the Marines' housing facilities at Camp Pendleton."

Yes, that's what compassionate persons usually do.

Who is the real terrorist? Who is setting off car bombs at mosques and beheading unarmed civilians? Who does not have the courage to wear the uniform of a a soldier in an army and who hides behind shields of women and children? Whose leaders are hiding in spider holes and caves like wild dogs and rats? Not US.

"It's hard to imagine that any compassionate person could see pictures...and not want to go on a shooting spree at the Marines' housing facilities at Camp Pendleton."

And now this son-of-a-bitch knows how I feel every single day, when I read about the never-ending torrent of Islamic attrocities and incursions and perversions that are killing this planet as surely as the sun rises in the morning.

Al-Qaeda can try to cultivate all the propaganda they wish, but it isn't going to change one fundamental thing -- there is a reckoning coming and it's going to be a faceoff between the United States and Islam.

Mark my words.

How about the soldiers that have been murdered by the mos and those beheaded and mutilated by the mos.

Sympathy has to be earned and the mos continue to only earn derision by their continued terrorism and support of terrorism.

Teenage rock music fan?
Ok, isn’t music outlawed in Islam? So what is this guy retarded or mentally ill? It is true I am extremely angry at the foreign islamists, but filthy rats like this guy send me into the upper region of pissedofville. Oh to get my hands on this filthy rat. I have said repeatedly that they are all around us and they are! Soon guys like this are going to find out the hard way just how kind and compassionate many of us Americans are. Put down the video camera and show us what you got fool!

"It's hard to imagine that any compassionate person could see pictures...and not want to go on a shooting spree at the Marines' housing facilities at Camp Pendleton."

Ok, let's think about how stupid that idea is. The USMC has a proven track record of stomping anyone and everyone in its path and that's away from home. The chances of successfully attacking a military housing area full of trained warriors fighting for their families is so far past zero it can not be measured. Even if 98% of the Marines living there were deployed the other 2% would enjoy making any attacker pay. Then you have the problem of the other 98% who are well trained and now highly pissed off.

I have heard some extremely stupid comments over the years from muslims but this one takes the cake. When are you muslim idiots going to learn propaganda only works when it is based on reality.

Ronin,
Do not forget that “WE” live out and around Military bases as well. If my neighborhood suddenly heard a great deal of fire going on at our local base we would all hop in our cars and race over there if for nothing else than our natural American curiosity. You know, no one wants to see a fire start but once it does everyone wants to check it out. Trying to attack a Marine base with 1000s of angry patriots coming at you from behind? They would be torn to pieces.

Oh, Ronin. If only muslims had reality. They still believe the world is flat and the suns sets in a puddle. They love the blood and gore in their war manual. The justifications. No taking responsibility for their actions. Their manual allows childish actions with no repercussions.

If there was reality in islam, they would see how badly allah has treated them, how ole mo's illusions of grandeur tricked them for 1400 years, and how ridiculous the koran is. They are not only backward in mind body and soul, but lazy and unproductive (except for preaching jihad). They have no pride(let the infidels support us) no common sense (kill the infidels and then who is going to support and feed them) and no joy in life.

Just lies. Their allah has condemned them.

So sad. So sad.

You are both right, that one set me off. When I did live on base, I felt 100% safe, that is one advantage of military life. tgusa, any attack and they would lock the base down trapping the dummies who started it. I like you would want to help but I know they would not need it. I would love to set on a hill and watch them hunt muslims all the while chearing them on but I am not that lucky, those cowards talk big smack but they wouldn't attack a base.

How many "manchurian candidates" are in our military?

Posted by: Carolyn2 [TypeKey Profile Page] at July 8, 2006 2:02 PM

Ronin,
I understand they will handle it with no problems. I just want the enemy to know that in this region the Natives are hostile. They had better stand and fight because if they try to flee we will set our dogs on them. But what am I saying? You are right they are too cowardly to do anything as risky as that. They want an advantage so most likely the target would a Nursery School or Retirement Home.

Carolyn2
Saw that movie last night too huh? Shouldn’t be very hard to find out, after all, this brainwashing goes on openly in public. You can even purchase copies of the training manual at your local bookstore.

"but filthy rats like this guy send me into the upper region of pissedofville. Oh to get my hands on this filthy rat."

There are millions more like him in the USA and other Western countries -- young PC Leftists who may not have crossed the line into becoming a Muslim jihadist like him, but who have crossed the ideological line of hating the West, hating America, considering America to be the worst terrorist nation on Earth, etc.

I have sat and discussed the "invasion scenario for the United States" many times with family and friends over the years. It always comes down to the same conclusion:

It ain't possible. ('Red Dawn' was just a silly movie.)

No force on earth, not even a Chinese Army, could ever field enough manpower to successfully take over the United States. For one thing, if you attack the United States, your going to be fighting Canada for sure, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Mexico jump in, too. So, you're trying to attack the continent of North America.

Of course, any serious military designs by anyone on Mexico and/or Canada would be met with instant American force, so those aren't going to be much easier targets!

But, beyond all that, then let's just consider what an invasion force would have to contend with. First, you've got to get to the shore. Um...I think the Coast Guard, the Navy and the Air Force would not make that very easy. LOL.

So, let's assume that any kind of armed forces would have to sneak into the country (as they actually are doing everyday in fact, but not with military designs -- with terrorist ones), and you can just begin to see how futile it all is for a ground enemy.

Now let's have some fun. Imagine actually fielding anykind of enemy force in the United States successfully, just assume. What are these badguys going to be faced with?

Well, almost every household in the nation has a gun inside. I'd bet close to 2/3rds have dogs, and some of those dogs are very capable breeds like Rots, Labs, Sheperds, Dobermans and Pit Bulls.

Then how many women are carrying mace spray? How many homes have baseball bats and golf clubs? Who has a very nice set of kitchen knives?

Now, what kind of Americans are they going to encounter? This is the scariest thing of all for any invader.

In the swamps of Lousianna -- Cajuns. Almost gives me visions of 'Predator'.

In the streets of Boston and most towns in Upstate New York -- descendants of Irish, British,Italian, Polish, Puerto Rican and Germans who are notoriously territorial. Do jihadis really want to mess with diehard baseball fans?

Native American tribes like the Iroquoi and the Seminoles and so many others wouldn't take kindly to visitors on their reservations.

Is a jihadi going to last long in Harlem? How about the picketed, white-fenced neighborhoods in Atlanta or the French Quarter in New Orleans?

Those cornfed boys in Nebraska are not only huge, they can shoot!

Hispanics in Miami, Arizona, Los Angeles, Texas? Tough customers all. Don't even think about touching their women and children unless you want to die.

How many Chinatowns do we have? At least a half-dozen major ones. Chinese gangs aren't exactly pushovers -- I doubt angry neighborhoods of Chinese would be any easier to deal with for would-be invaders.

And, of course, my own home state of Texas. Remember the Alamo?

Basically, what I'm driving at is, if you invade the United States, you might as well be invading the world. There's just too much variety, both human and terrain-based, for any ground invaders to ever dream of conventionally hurting us.

But, this is of course, exactly why the United States has to always be vigilant for other kinds of attacks: nuclear, chemical, biological, and terrorism. We will never be attacked conventionally, so that means we will always be attacked with far more brutal and cowardly means.

He should recieve the death penalty if he is caught wuthout a doubt.

Imagine the reception he will get from American soldiers if they take him alive.

The next thing you know they'll want to build a mosque in the Pentagon...oh wait!

That the military has loose cannons who make the rest look bad is one of the propaganda problems of immature human nature under extreme duress (20-25 year old guys with high power guns being shot at and blown up by terrorists who wear no uniform, blend into a willing populace, and follow no rules of war).

All the military can do is to openly prosecute those who are really criminals and move on.

What this ex-American jihadist traitor fails to mention is that none of his band of homicidal scum have ever tried to stop or prosecute Zarqawi for blowing up innocent Iraqi civilians or for maniacally beheading unarmed, trussed-up, non-combatants. All acts in complete violation of the Geneva Conventions and any Human Rights rules passed by the U.N.

We stop our out-of-control warriors.

They lionize theirs.

Lying little turncoat loser.

May a predator drone be humming a tune in his neighborhood soon.

I saw some of this guys sound bites on the mass news media and it occured to me that he talks like he is a big ole QUEER! The Al Queda holy men keep his face nice and pale to enhance his sexually attraction to their " holy eyes ".

Despite his talk of being out in the battle field and carrying bodies of women and children, the fact is that with his soft features he has been kept inside as an Al Queda queer concubine.


One can easily see in the time of less than a minute that he is confussed politically, culturally and sexually. These confussions he stuffs and resolves under the rubic of a religion to reconcile them.

It is this resolution of Islam that he, again confusses, with rational views. It is such a stereo type of reason that justifies his hatered of the West. The West did after all spawn his confussed self.

Even more confussing is the revelation by the FBI that he is not charged with any crime! They just want him for questioning about Al Queda. If he is not aiding and abeiting a terrorist organisation then who is?
