I love Idealists...

Welcome President Obama

Blacks are happy; Obama was elected.

Whites are happy, OJ is in jail.

Democrats are happy; George Bush is leaving office.

Republicans are happy: Democrats will finally quit saying George Bush
stole the election.

And all of us are so happy; The election is finally over!

Immediately after his inauguration, Obama will balance the budget,
revive the economy, solve the real estate problem, solve the auto industry
problem, solve our gas/alternative energy problem, stop the fires and
mud slides in California, ban hurricanes and tornadoes, stop identity
theft, reverse global warming, find Osama, solve the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict,get rid of corruption in government and achieve world peace. Then on
the 7th day, He will rest.

The deputy leader of al-Qaida�s branch in Yemen is a former Guantanamo detainee, according to a story in Friday�s New York Times.

The story identifies the leader as Said Ali al-Shihri, a militant suspected of involvement in a deadly bombing of the United States Embassy in Yemen�s capital, Sana, in September.

He was released from Guantanamo and sent to Saudi Arabia in 2007, according to the Times. There he passed through a Saudi rehabilitation program for former jihadists before resurfacing with al-Qaida in Yemen.

His status was announced in an Internet statement by the militant group and was confirmed by an American counterterrorism official.

�They�re one and the same guy,� said the official, who insisted on anonymity because he was discussing an intelligence analysis. �He returned to Saudi Arabia in 2007, but his movements to Yemen remain unclear.�

The development comes as the Obama administration has moved toward closing down the Guantanamo facility and moving its most hard-core inmates to U.S. prisons, where they�d have the same rights as American criminals. Critics fear that putting them on U.S. soil will also increase the risk of attacks and hostage taking designed to release them.

Of special concern is the fact that almost half the camp�s remaining detainees are Yemenis, and efforts to repatriate them depend in part on the creation of a Yemeni rehabilitation program � partly financed by the United States � similar to the Saudi one. The Times reports that, until now, Saudi Arabia has claimed that no graduate of its program has returned to terrorism.

That Pentagon has said that at least 60 � possibly more � of the detainees released from Guantanamo have rejoined terrorist cells and have fought once again against Americans.

We've finally regained momentum in the War on Terror - it's the battle for the hearts and minds that is the central front, and Obama is uniquely positioned to wage that fight.

I thought you guys on the Left scoffed at the term "war on terror". It's cool now though?

I guess the strategy to winning the hearts and minds includes that missle strike Obama ordered on Pakistan the other day, taking out children and relatives of the people targeted as well:
quote:
Security officials said the strikes, which saw up to five missiles slam into houses in separate villages, killed seven "foreigners" - a term that usually means al-Qaeda - but locals also said that three children lost their lives.

Eight people died when missiles hit a compound near Mir Ali, an al-Qaeda hub in Pakistan's North Waziristan region. Seven more died when hours later two missiles hit a house in Wana, in South Waziristan. Local officials said the target in Wana was a guest house owned by a pro-Taleban tribesman. One said that as well as three children, the tribesman's relatives were killed in the blast.

Bush = hawkish war monger. Obama = making progress and winning hearts and minds. Krypton, where you at man? I'm waiting for you to post pics of dead children and denounce violence like in the Gaza thread in the PDD.

Huh? Are you confused about who you're replying to?

That's simply not the central front. Whereas Bush used military might as the sole means, Obama is well positioned to balance military efforts with soft power projection - something that those of us "on the Left" of you think could turn the tide of the war.
