#1 That is something W should have told from as early as 9/12. Now the next step is telling Islam is racist (countless haddiths and historical proof for it) as WOT will be won by splitting Islam into many little pieces and by making Non-Arabs see it as an instrument of Arab domination.

PS: Obama saying something right. I can't believe it.

#3 the official said. "Al Qaeda recruits have said that al Qaeda is racist against black members from West Africa because they are only used in lower level operations."

Give me a break. This is nothing more then identity politics. Whatshould AQ adopt some affirmative action plan to place more people of color in charge of planning? Maybe they need to consider reparations? Maybe they can give the African terrorists cash for housing. You knowsomething to compare with the posh caves the big turbans have. Oh yeahand al Shabaab does not value African life. Oh sure, AQ blows the bejeebus out of people from every race, nationality, and religion on a regular basis but were talking bout Africans here. Yeah...that outta turn things around.
Does it surprise anyone that an Administration whose only real talents are running election campaigns would try cheap politics as a counter terrorism strategy?

I, for one, would value that from Afghanistan to Kenaya whenever a jihadist is known like it the locals kill him.

Remember the embassy bombings where over 200 hundred locals were killed and thousands wounded? Well, locals ended blaming America and rejoicing for 9/11. that is what happens when you don't do the political work.

#5 JFM,

I get the whole divide and conquer psy-op thing. Thats not the point. This is about a low-level mouthpiece walking back Obamas comment on how AQ doesnt regard African life as valuable. The prominent reaction to that statement wasno shit Mr. PresidentI dont think AQ values life in general and its not just Africans. But rather then saying the President was speaking to a specific event they contort it into something about race. Which is kind of foolish when you think about it. Other then Zawahiri calling Obama a house slave AQ really doesnt talk that much about race issues. And if you havent noticed theyre most concerned about the Jihadi stuff. But goodness forbid, this administration cant say theyre against Jihad. No sirthat might be offensive. So lets call em racistsoooh I bet theyre sorry now.

#6 AQ are equal opportunity murderers. They are not particularly discriminating.

#7 The reason the Obama White House is calling AQ racist is they intend on comparing the Tea Party movement to AQ.
