Qaeda hard boy criticizes Hezbollah for failing to attack Israel
2009-01-27
(AKI) - An Al-Qaeda operative and former Guantanamo detainee has attacked the Lebanese Shia movement , Hezbollah, for failing to defend Palestinians from Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip. In a video released on the internet, Abu Hureira Qasim al-Rimi directed his attack against Hezbollah leader, Hassan Nasrallah. "I would like to send a message to Hassan Nasrallah - Answer me, why have you shed all these tears for Gaza and for the people of Gaza? Didn't you say that you had warehouses full of 20,000 missiles that could reach Tel-Aviv?" said Abu Hureira Qasim al-Rimi in the 19-minute video message.

Al-Rimi then proceeded to attack Hezbollah for failing to help Gazans during the recent three-week long Israeli offensive that began on 27 December. More than 1,330 Palestinians were killed and another 5,000 were injured during Operation Cast Lead. Thirteen Israelis were killed during the conflict.
Proving that verbal ferocity doesn't make up for being undisciplined dishpits and piss-poor shots...
"Didn't our brothers in Gaza deserve you launching, in their defence, one thousand, two thousand or three thousand rockets instead of these tears? " he said. "Is Lebanese land more valuable than the blood of the Palestinians? What is the difference between you and (Egyptian president) Hosni Mubarak who protects the Jews?," said al-Rimi. "Our community must know the truth about these facts and understand who is 'selling' our cause."

In the video, al-Rimi appears next to the leader of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula Abu Basir al-Naser al-Wahshi. The video, entitled "From here we begin and we will meet each other at the al-Aqsa mosque," refers to Islam's third holiest site, located in Jerusalem.

#1  Where was al-Rimi when he made this video? Leading his rabble across no-man's-land into Israel? Or even rabble-rousing in a public square in Beirut? Nah. Probably somewhere nice and safe and comfy. But not as safe and comfy as Gitmo.
