| Qaeda Recruiting Westerners, Possibly U.S. Citizens |
| 2008-02-07 |
| The Al Qaeda terror network continues to succeed in recruiting terrorists from the West — possibly the United States. U.S. intelligence officials on Wednesday told FOX News Al Qaeda has succeeded in strengthening its position in Pakistani tribal regions and is recruiting Western operatives who are better able to help carry out attacks on the United States. The information comes a day after Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell expressed concerns to the Senate Intelligence Committee about Al Qaeda's continued efforts in Iraq and Pakistan, and the resurgence of Afghanistan's Taliban — the ousted regime that gave refuge to Usama Bin Laden and his Al Qaeda terror network. "Al Qaeda remains the pre-eminent threat against the United States," he said. McConnell said Al Qaeda — while being suppressed to a large extent in Iraq — is moving to other regions, including Pakistan, where it continues to try to launch attacks against the United States. And the next attack on the United states likely would be launched by Al Qaeda from those regions, Joint Chiefs Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen said in prepared testimony. Tuesday, The New York Times reported that a senior intelligence official said there is new evidence Al Qaeda operatives in Pakistan are training Westerners — most likely including U.S. citizens. That official said there is no evidence the terror group has succeeded in placing operatives inside U.S. borders. |

| #10 The irony being that the Arabs think of themselves -- and are, technically -- Caucasian. Arabs living in France certainly don't seem to think of themselves as "white", from direct personal experience, and from more general exposure to this through msm over the years. They surely see themselves as white, IE non-colored, and racism toward blacks (especially blacks from french overseas territories, muslim africans are more often associated with them) or asian is frequently mentioned, but WHITE, hu-oh, hum, no. |

| #5 That official said there is no evidence the terror group has succeeded in placing operatives inside U.S. borders. Of course, to a blind man, there is no evidence that the sky is blue and to a brain-dead man there is no evidence that 1 + 1 = 2 either. They don't have a clue who is coming across the border. |

| #3 More likely they have recruited in the prisons from the gangs. And if they've recruited anyone who's climbing the bloody hierarchy of, say, MS-13 we are in for a very nasty time of it. |

| #2 They're likely to be found in the empty armed forces recruiting stalls located on many campuses. They'll probably find that the cesspool of virulent anti-Americanism is composed mostly of hot air social parasites and not |
