Al Qaeda Member From O.C. May Be Dead
Source: CBS News Local

SANTA ANA An American propagandist for Al Qaeda who was raised in Orange County may have been killed along the Afghan-Pakistani border in an air strike by an unmanned U.S. Predator aircraft, according to intelligence experts quoted by a British newspaper.

Gadahn has been credited with helping transform Al Qaeda's propaganda wing into a slick operation able to communicate in fluent English and produce professional quality DVDs, including one for Osama bin Laden last year.

He may have been killed by a predator assassination, which have targeted and killed many of the terrorist group's military commanders, trainers and facilitators in the past year, according to London's Daily Telegraph newspaper.

Gadahn has not been heard from for months, leading intelligence experts to conclude that he may be dead, the Telegraph reported.

3. Nothing fictional about that motherf***er !
Damn traitor son of a bitch!
I don't care if your choice is the Republican ticket, the Democratic ticket, or a damn handful of lottery tickets, we're all Americans and this turd muncher was a traitor.

There's a big damn difference between A: being against the war and protesting, writing your congress critter, or whatever the hell you think will help end the war, and B: Joining up with the enemy forces to fight against your fellow countrymen. Choice B is unacceptable. Period. Not only does he deserve to die, his parents deserve some form of punishment for not doing a better job of raising him. Assholes should have taught him better than that.

How many of our soldiers have been killed or wounded as a direct result of this scrotum sucker motivating the enemy to continue fighting?
Michael Corleone was right when he said "Don't ever take sides with anyone against the Family. Ever."

I sure wish I had the opportunity to come across this scumbag during my deployment. The most painful forms of torture that I know of are still too good for someone who turns on his own people.

5. He is a traitor, but no more a traitor than those who exposed Plame, or
those who sided with Israel against our brave sailors on the USS Liberty.

12. Baghdad? iraq had nothing to do with 9-11. Outing Plame set back our
ability to tract rouge nukes, destroyed a spy network that has been in place for decades. No telling how many assets got killed or imprisoned because of Cheney's treachery. Also a CIA front company got compromised. That outing did a lot more damage than some al Qaeda Rose could ever do. We are less safe, and more vulnerable to nuclear attack because Plame was outed.

One other negative outcome of the Plame affair is the distrust it fostered among our foreign assets. Would you work with us if you could be exposed for political reasons?

I'm an old Army Spook. I was nearby when the USS Liberty murders happened. It was murder, our government knew it was murder, but sided against us and for Israel. that is treason.

bush knew Saudi Arabia was the money men behind al Qaeda. He knew the Royal family was involved. When he took office, he closed the CIA bin Laden office and closed the Saudi Arabia office. Read "Imperial Hubris."

The bush family and the bin Laden families go way back. Arbusto, GWB's first failed business, was funded by Salem bin Laden. GHW Bush was in business with the bin Ladens until after 9-11.

19. Soldiers don't get to choose which war they fight
They fight the war they get sent to. As an old Army Spook, you should know that.

21. I was just saying that al Qaeda Rose wouldn't have been anywhere
near Baghdad. Most likely they keep him near at hand in Pakistan or Afghanistan.

the problem is, our government had a choice, and made a bad choice by pulling our assets away from al Qaeda to fight a war that, at best could have been delayed until after we turned bin Laden and his cohorts into a bloody aerosol.

I know all about the lack of choice. I asked to be sent to Vietnam, and they sent me to a mountain overlooking the Red Sea. It was nice, no Viet Cong, no malaria, and only rarely do you have one of those oh shit, I'm dead moments.

Read about us in "body of Secrets" and "I Didn't do it For You."

anyway, Welcome Home!

If you are ETS, get your butt down to the VA and sign up. They're a lot better now than they were back in the 70's.

11. So says Alex Jones & Co.
Quite frankly, I would need more confirmation than Alex's word on that. Sad to say, Alex is a Human John Deere Manure Spreader, powered by a Keith Black Hemi on Nitromethane and the throttle stuck wide open.

16. What is so rich is that you continue to kiss the ass of the criminals
Edited on Mon Sep-08-08 03:42 PM by TheWatcher
who sent soldiers like you into a fake, illegal war based on false intelligence and lies for political and financial gain and control.

They are traitors too, yet you continue to blindly follow them like a sheep following a herd off a cliff.

I'd Thank You for your service, but apparently you support the wrong team.

Wake Up.

And take your racist bullshit to Yahoo.

15. That is fantastic news
I feel for the kids parents though. First they have the shame of having their child become a traitor and now they have to see him dead. However, the young made a choice and now he's paid the price for it. It seems quite justified in my view.

My sympathies to the parents.

23. Well, the big bad boogeyman OBL hasn't been heard from in months.
These intelligence experts should tell McLame he ain't gonna be finding shit.
