This is change Americans can believe in, right? “The One” was nebulous about Israel during his campaign and why not let President Bush clean up his own Middle East mess? You know the doctrine of having one President at a time.
But the enlightened European press may be losing patience with the “Messiah” who was to deliver miracles to a waiting public.
Barack Obama remained silent over the violence in Gaza as Israel today threatened to continue its attacks for weeks.
Instead, the President-elect is continuing his 12-day Christmas holiday in Hawaii and was seen enjoying a round of golf.
He joined a group of friends at a private club near his £6million rented, beach-front holiday home yesterday.
Meanwhile, 9,000 miles away in the Middle East, Israel today rejected any truce with Hamas and said it was ready for ‘long weeks of action’ in the Gaza Strip.
Obama will be President soon enough and will actually have to make decisions.
Flap is not optimistic that he can rise to the challenge. A good speech with a teleprompter does not a good President make.

My Pet Jawa’s Dr. Rusty Shackleford
The Hindustan Times says that bloggers including Dr. Rusty Shackleford thwarted Al Qaeda on 9/11.
Hackers prevented Al Qaeda from releasing a videotape to mark the seventh anniversary of 9/11. Al Qaeda has traditionally issued a video or audiotape by either Osama bin Laden or Ayman al Zawahiri, the terror network’s two leaders, to mark their massive terrorist attack on the US.
As-Sahab, Al Qaeda’s media unit, had indicated earlier this week that it would post such a videotape on September 11. As-Sahab had banner images on the internet showing a silhouetted head with a question mark and the words, “Wait 11 September”.
The US-based intelligence group IntelCenter had speculated the video would be a message from Osama or Zawahiri with a recording of the last will and testament of Mohammed Atta, one of the leaders of the 9/11 attackers.
Sources close to US intelligence said, “Hackers knocked out Al Qaeda’s online means of communication, thus preventing them from posting anything to commemorate the anniversary.”
Western intelligence suspects two hackers who have targeted Islamicist sites before were responsible: Aaron Weisburd from Internet Haganah and Rusty Shackleford from the web group My Pet Jawa.
But, Rusty denies it and rightly so. I mean those guys at Al Qaeda do mean business if they ever get out of their holes in Waziristan.
And, even though Flap snapped the photo above of the REAL Rusty Shackleford and photoshopped it, he forgets where the original is - seriously.
Flap would like to see a cage match between Rusty and Adam Gadahn though. But, there are laws, Rusty, in mutilating a corpse.
Oh…………..

Adam Gadahn as featured on the FBI’s Most Wanted List
As 9/11 approaches this Thursday, again rumors are surfacing that the America’s most visible member of Al Qaeda has been killed.
Months of attacks by unmanned US predator aircraft have caused carnage among the middle ranks of terrorist leaders in the lawless lands along the border with Afghanistan, where al-Qa’eda remains dangerous despite suffering a serious defeat in Iraq.
Their victims have included experienced Arab leaders and, it is now thought, Adam Gadahn, a former heavy-metal fan and so-called “killer computer nerd” originally from California. Nothing has been heard from him for months, leading intelligence experts to conclude that he may be dead.
Mr Gadahn has been credited with helping transform al-Qa’eda’s al-Sahab propaganda wing into a slick operation which communicates in fluent English and produces professional quality DVDs, including one for Osama bin Laden last year.
But he may have fallen victim to an expanded programme of predator assassinations which in the last year has targeted and killed many of al-Qa’eda’s military commanders, terrorist trainers and facilitators.
So, who knows?
Perhaps Gadahn will surface like he did in January this year in the video depicted below:
Al Qaeda’s Adam Gadahn Threatens President Bush as Bush visits the Middle East and rips up his American passport, January 6, 2008
Perhaps, Adam Gadahn has QUIT Al Qaeda or been demoted to front line suicide bomber. In any event, Americans will remember his support of Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden and should he resurface pursue him like the treasonous criminal he is.
Stay tuned……

The Barack Obama quotes:
Obama told reporters that the Republicans have no “standing to suggest that they’ve learned a lot of lessons from 9-11.”
He said they “helped to engineer the distraction of the war in Iraq at a time when we could have pinned down the people who actually committed 9-11.” He said Osama bin Laden is still at large in part because of their failed strategies.
Obama’s view of 9/11, terrorism is RADICAL LEFT, out of the mainstream of opinion and WRONG.

Thanks to Diggers Realm for the photos Left to Right: Mohammad Zaki Amawi, Marwan Othman El-Hindi, and Wassim Mazloum
While the MSM mourns the passing of Tim Russert, this NEWS story may have been missed (Via M/M).
Remember these guys?
A federal jury on Friday convicted three Toledo-area men of Middle Eastern descent of plotting attacks against U.S. troops overseas and other terror-related acts.
Mohammad Amawi, Marwan El-Hindi, and Wassim Mazloum, all of whom are Muslim, were convicted on all counts of conspiring to kill or injure people outside the United States and face sentences of life in prison.
Prosecutors said the men were learning to shoot guns and make explosives while raising money to fund their plans to wage a holy war against U.S. troops.
“Today’s verdicts should send a strong message to individuals who would use this country as a platform to plot attacks against U.S. military personnel in Iraq and elsewhere,” said Patrick Rowan, acting Assistant Attorney General for National Security, in a written statement.
“This case also underscores the need for continued vigilance in identifying and dismantling extremist plots that develop in America’s heartland.”
These terrorists were able to blend into the Toledo, Ohio Muslim community. Amawi and El-Hindi are U.S. citizens, and Mazloum came to the U.S. legally from Lebanon. El-Hindi was born in Jordan, and Amawi was born in the U.S. but also has Jordanian citizenship. Mazloum was a college student who helped his brother run a used car lot. Amawi once worked at a bakery. And El-Hindi was a married father of seven.

So, what story is getting more news play.
1. Tim Russert’s passing
2. Conviction of American Muslim Jihadis?
Answer: 2

Day by Day by Chris Muir
When the United States Supreme Court begins to subvert the Constitution by making its own law it is time for the people to rise up and control the court.
The awarding “The Privilege of Habeas Corpus To Terrorists” may be the death knell for respect of the court. Justice Scalia in dissent:
America is at war with radical Islamists. The enemy began by killing Americans and American allies abroad: 241 at the Marine barracks in Lebanon, 19 at the Khobar Towers in Dhahran, 224 at our embassies in Dar es Salaam and Nairobi, and 17 on the USS Cole in Yemen. See National Commission on Terrorist Attacks upon the United States, The 9/11 Commission Report, pp. 60–61, 70, 190 (2004). On September 11, 2001, the enemy brought the battle to American soil, killing 2,749 at the Twin Towers in New York City, 184 at the Pentagon in Washington, D. C., and 40 in Pennsylvania. See id., at 552, n. 9. It has threatened further attacks against our homeland; one need only walk about buttressed and barricaded Washington, or board a plane anywhere in the country, to know that the threat is a serious one. Our Armed Forces are now in the field against the enemy, in Afghanistan and Iraq. Last week, 13 of our countrymen in arms were killed.
The game of bait-and-switch that today’s opinion plays upon the Nation’s Commander in Chief will make the war harder on us. It will almost certainly cause more Americans to be killed.
There needs to be fundamental reform of the U.S. Supreme Court, with term limits and age limits. Lifetime tenure for all Federal judges should be changed by amending the Constitution. Why should the judiciary be immune from the “change” in the executive and legislative branch of government?
