Terrorist Osama Bin Laden has been talking trash again, attempting to egg on and wind up, U.S. President Barack Obama, who has been courtesy to Muslims in his official capacity as Commander-in-Chief.
Violence is not the answer, Mr. Bin Laden
However, Osama released another threatening tape, two days after the 8th Anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks on America. We are not sure why it was delayed - one can only assume the official terrorist mail pick up van was delayed by a herd of goats - who knows.
Bin Laden reportedly calls Obama 'powerless'
WASHINGTON — In a tape released Sunday by al-Qaida's media wing, terrorist leader Osama bin Laden said President Barack Obama is "powerless" to stop the war in Afghanistan.
SITE Intelligence Group, a terrorist-monitoring firm that translated the address, said bin Laden, whose al-Qaida organization was behind the Sept. 11 attacks, blamed the war on the "pro-Israel lobby" and corporate interests.
IntelCenter, another company that monitors terrorist propaganda, said the 11-minute video shows a still picture of bin Laden while audio of the address plays.
Bin Laden's address to the American people comes two days after the eighth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. He typically addresses the United States in a message around the Sept. 11 anniversary.
The purpose of his address Sunday, bin Laden said in the SITE translation, is "to remind you of the causes" of Sept. 11, chiefly "your support to your Israeli allies who occupy our land of Palestine."
Bin Laden argued against the claims that the war is necessary for U.S. security, saying current White House officials are merely following the strategy of former President George W. Bush and former Vice President Dick Cheney to "promote the previous policies of fear to market the interests of big companies." ...
Obama Vows: 'We Will Never Waver' - The Associated Press
Many Americans commemorated the anniversary of the terrible September 11th terrorists attacks that left thousands dead and the nation changed forever. U.S. President Barack Obama gave a speech to honor those that died on that tragic day.
In news that does not come as a surprise, the waste of taxpayer dollars that is currently the FBI, blew many chances to stop the September 11th attacks, before they transpired.
Previously, as mentioned in a 2006 Sound Off Column, FBI Agent Harry Sammit stated to the press, he was stonewalled by FBI headquarters when he sent 70 written requests to proceed with an investigation into suspect, Zacharias Mousawi, who was later revealed to be aware of the plot as an alternate hijacker, after the bombings transpired.
Now, claims of another blown opportunity have surfaced. Former FBI informant, Elie Assaad, state he too was stonewalled by FBI headquarters, when he gave the Bureau a lead regarding a man named, Mohamed Atta, who he found out about after infiltrating a Miami mosque.
Mohamed Atta
Is it just me or would the FBI function better without headquarters in Washington, D.C. It is clear they do not listen to their agents and operatives. An agent/cop's instincts are going to be better than a man in a suit and tie, who has never been an officer, but spends his day sitting in FBI headquarters.
Common sense should tell you that. When did a bureaucrat ever know more than a man or woman in the trenches with hands on experience.
If Congress thinks the agency can continue like this, they should be prepared for additional national security failures and catastrophic loss of life, as the threats terrorists are issuing are real and very graphic. They are not kidding, but FBI headquarters is and in a very dangerous game of cat and mouse that is not funny.
Elie Assaad
The FBI is not functioning like a well-oiled machine, as the agency is in complete disarray and on its current path of negligence, something terrible is going to happen.
And you know what, the FBI, who reads this website everyday, can get mad all they want to, but the truth needs to be told, as their negligence is endangering millions of lives.
It is astonishing how much Congress lets them get away with at the American people's expense.
FBI Blew Chance to Stop Ringleader?
A former FBI informant, Elie Assaad, has told ABC News that the agency blew a chance to stop 9/11 ringleader Mohamed Atta. Assaad says he first became suspicious of Atta in early 2001, when he infiltrated a small mosque outside of Miami.
Assaad now says he’s a “million percent positive” the 9/11 attacks could have been stopped if the FBI had pursued his lead on Atta, but that the agency instead told him to focus on two smaller targets whose cases were easier to crack. "I was right, I was 100 percent right," Assaad says. When he learned that Atta was a 9/11 hijacker, Assaad says he was “very upset, angry” and that he cried.
Video: Scottish Government Defends Bomber's Release - The Associated Press
FBI Director Robert S. Mueller is being slammed by the Scottish government for a caustic letter he wrote, condemning them for releasing, Lockerbie bomber, Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi, who is dying of terminal cancer.
I certainly do not believe he should have been freed, but rather forced to live out his years in prison for crimes against humanity. However, Robert Mueller is in no position to criticize anyone with his track record.
Mueller, as head of the FBI, inexplicablyhas murderers running loose and for several years looked the other way to the criminal misconduct of men like Bernard Madoff and R. Allen Stanford.
It was revealed, he knew for years they were breaking the law and did absolutely nothing to stop them, which would have saved investors billions.
Not to mention, he was at the helm of the FBI when 9/11 happened, which the Bureau could have prevented had HQ not stonewalled its own agents for corrupt purposes. Thousands died, which is way more than the fatalities in the Lockerbie bombing. How do you explain terrorists having a lower body count than you, Mr. Mueller.
Robert Mueller
Your negligence is downright bloodcurdling, as terrorists are boldly proclaiming they shall launch new attacks and I don't doubt they will try.
However, knowing you are in charge of national security should alarm anyone, after what you let happen the first time, on September 11th.
Washington, D.C., New York, New York and Los Angeles, California, among other cities, are prime targets for terrorists with no mercy, yet the FBI is still in a terrible state of disarray thanks to you.
I am of the belief, you could care less about criminals being freed, as you've illustrated with your negligent conduct in numerous cases, including the aforementioned. What you dislike is the fact a case you worked on as prosecutor, has been undone, via freeing a terrorist after 8-years of what should have been a life sentence.
Side Bar: Mr. Mueller, what about the Bush family's special relationship with the Bin Ladens, prior to Osama flipping his lid. Why was his family allowed safe passage out of America during Bush's term, right after 9/11 happened. Why was the CIA in bed with Bin Laden prior to the bombings. Why was the Iraq war, that was concocted by Bush and Cheney on deliberately flawed intelligence, fought for oil and not for freedom. If you are going to throw stones, Mr. Mueller, make sure you don't live in a glass house.
FBI chief's attack 'out of order'
Mr Mueller suggested that Megrahi's release showed support for terrorists. Former Scottish First Minister Henry McLeish has described comments by the FBI chief on the Lockerbie bomber's release as "totally out of order".
Scottish Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill freed terminally ill Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi on compassionate grounds on Thursday.
FBI director Robert Mueller said the decision gave "comfort to terrorists". Mr McLeish said it was an unfair slur on the Scots justice system. A former lord advocate said it was "appalling".
Megrahi, who has always claimed his innocence, served seven years, five months and four days of his life sentence for the bombing of the Pan Am jet over Lockerbie in 1988, in which 270 people died.
Since the 57-year-old's release, Mr MacAskill has been criticised for his decision, particularly from relatives of Americans killed in the bombing.
Mr Mueller, who was the US Assistant Attorney General responsible for the Lockerbie investigation, said he was outraged by the release, which he said made a mockery of the grief of the victims' families and undermined the rule of law.
In a letter to the justice secretary, he wrote: "Your action in releasing Megrahi is as inexplicable as it is detrimental to the cause of justice. Indeed your action makes a mockery of the rule of law. Col Gaddafi with Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi...
"Your action gives comfort to terrorists around the world who now believe that regardless of the quality of the investigation, the conviction by jury after the defendant is given all due process, and sentence appropriate to the crime, the terrorist will be freed by one man's exercise of 'compassion'.
"Your action rewards a terrorist even though he never admitted to his role in this act of mass murder and even though neither he nor the government of Libya ever disclosed the names and roles of others who were responsible."
However, Henry McLeish said Mr Mueller's intervention was "totally out of order".
"Let's as Scots, despite the adversity, be conscious that it is Scotland and our criminal justice system which holds its head high throughout the world," he told BBC Radio Scotland.
"It doesn't help if some ill-informed remarks are made by the director of the FBI towards that when it's, quite frankly, none of his business.
"It would be the equivalent of the Metropolitan Police chief writing to Barack Obama to complain about a decision that has been made.
"He has a view - fine - but that was a slur on the Scottish justice system that we didn't deserve as part of the wider debate."...
Why does the FBI keep trying to block the testimony of whistleblower, Sibel Edmonds. What happened to Freedom of Speech. Why is she not allowed to speak? Because she knows some of your dirty secrets.
During the 3 years I have covered the FBI in my widely read columns, I have witnessed astonishing lapses in national security, financial impropriety and absolute moral failure on the part of the Bureau.
My columns hinted at problems in the financial sector, where individuals were running ponzi schemes not, "Providing a true service not based in fraud, theft or speculation" and “trading what amounts to nothing.” Shortly after, Madoff and Stanford were indicted for ponzi schemes the FBI knew of for 10 years, but let fester to the detriment of taxpaying Americans and global citizens that invest in good faith.
The FBI’s chronic acts of criminal negligence, are a threat to national security and the prosperity of the United States and its allies in the world. If the FBI fails to correct its conduct, America will be left open to new terror attacks, centered on cities such as New York and Los Angeles, to name a few, famed for their wealth and architecture that symbolize Americana, which terrorists hate.
Furthermore, if the FBI cannot control a crazy pop star, stopping her from breaking the law, as they are constitutionally obligated to do, how are they going to control Al Qaeda and the Taliban.
The agency under Robert S. Mueller is ineffective, incompetent and weak. The FBI needs to be closed, with the U.S. Congress starting over with a new federal law enforcement agency. Time shall show it.
The FBI has been nothing but a taxpayer draining, unmitigated failure and embarrassment from day one. They left Martin Luther King Jr. to die and they left 9/11 victims to die (stonewalling their agents from an investigation that would have prevented the attack). They haven’t changed since the Civil Rights era. There is something very wrong there.
I don’t believe the FBI has foiled any real terrorists, who keep hinting through released tapes and videos that something terrible is coming. I think this is the quiet before the storm and sadly America’s first line of defense is Barney Fife:
FBI Director, Robert Mueller
DoJ Pressures Ohio Election Commission to Block Edmonds Testimony
8/7/2009 8:06PM - Long-gagged FBI whistleblower re-iterates request for citizen media in D.C. to show up at Saturday morning deposition...
The DoJ is now jumping into action, at least on behalf of covering the FBI's rear, if not yet to issue any "states secrets" claims to stop the scheduled testimony of FBI whistleblower Sibel Edmonds in D.C. tomorrow morning in the Ohio Election Commission (OEC) case of Schmidt v. Krikorian...
