There are things people say that make you question their ... grip on reality. You are never quite sure whether they are perhaps, talking to lampshades in the dark of night, or dancing with leprechauns at the full moon - this idea that it is a gift from Obama ... he may as well have said Obama is a white person very darkly tanned, and he would not be so far off the reservation.
Al Qaeda No. 2 Blames Obama, Egypt's President for Gaza
Tuesday , January 06, 2009
CAIRO, Egypt — An intelligence monitoring center reports that Al Qaeda's No. 2 leader is blaming Barack Obama and Egypt's president for the Israeli offensive in Gaza.
The SITE Monitoring Service says the audio statement by Ayman al-Zawahiri was posted on militant Web sites Tuesday.
This is al-Zawahiri's first comment on the crisis since the war began eleven days ago.
In a transcript of the statement released by SITE, he calls the Israeli offensive a "Crusade against Islam and Muslims" and "Obama's gift to Israel" before he takes office.
Al-Zawahiri also calls Egypt's president, Hosni Mubarak, a "traitor" for keeping his borders closed to Palestinians.
