Al-Qaeda:The Free Encyclopedia For Terrorism
2 comments July 14th, 2007
Al-Qaeda competes effectively with wikipedia as a free Internet encyclopedia, at least on the single subject of terrorism. This Jihadist movement has made effective use of the Web, for propaganda, recruitment and even operational control of its far-flung cadres. Thus, while President Bush pretends that the Iraq War catastrophe is actually a strategically brilliant move against Al-Qaeda, many of his own senior officials in the intelligence community and with the Department of Homeland Security are contradicing him. We now hear from the head of DHS that he has a “gut feeling” that Al-Qaeda is up to something nasty this summer. But at this time of growing concern about a futue Al-Qaeda attack on America, where in God’s name is Hillary Rodham Clinton, supposedly the most qualified person in America to lead the nation-at least according to her press releases?
Oh, Hillary Clinton is around, all right. She recently made a video presenting herself and husband Bill Clinton in a duplication of the Sopranos finale. There was her contest for an official campaign song. And now, she is conducting a search for someone out there to create a great pro-Hillary video for YouTube. But amid all this, where are the policy statements and insightful analyses regarding this looming threat, from this supposedly immensely-qualified stateswoman? Maybe Hillary Clinton honestly thinks that the way to combat the terrorism and threats of Al-Qaeda is to mimic them as an Internet encyclopedia. But not on the threat of terrorism. Instead, let’s have Hillaryland frolicking on the worldwide Web, showing that tough, experienced Hillary Clinton can ignore Osama bin Laden, and pursure more trivial Internet pursuits. I can just see bin Laden and the other Al-Qaeda leaders in a secure area of northwest Pakistan, watching these Hillaryland production videos and contests on the Internet. Do you think this will deter Al-Qaeda from striking again at America? Only if they don’t stop laughing at us.
