A Path to Jihad: From Gitmo, To Saudi Arabia, To IRAN, To Yemen
by Andrew MarcusAmericans fancy the idea that while we might have been asleep prior to 9/11/2001, now our eyes are wide open and we are on alert. This is a pipe dream.
If people’s eyes were truly open, they would be closely examining the path Gitmo detainee Said Ali al-Shihri took to Yemen, where we are now learning he helped plan the Christmas Jihad.
Said reportedly left Gitmo, went through “rehabilitation” in Saudi Arabia, then moved to Iran before ending up as a leader of al-Qaeda in Yemen.
For example, Said Ali al-Shihri left Gitmo in 2007 and became a patient in Saudi Arabia’s terrorist rehabilitation program. Upon graduation, he went to Iran, and then became the deputy leader of Al-Qaeda in Yemen. Abdullah al-Qarawi following a similar path, also traveling to Iran after finishing the program, where he know oversees over 100 Saudi Al-Qaeda operatives. Mohammed al-Oufi, a former Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula commander, also was released from Gitmo. Luckily, he defected later and informed the Saudis about Iran’s secret involvement with Al-Qaeda in Yemen and a plot to bomb the Saudi oil infrastructure. [READ MORE...]
Iran and al-Qaeda have a common goal in Yemen: Destroy the Saudi Royal Family.
The United States has known for a long time about the Iranian al-Qaeda connection related to Said Ali al-Shihri, but you shouldn’t take an evil libertarian-conservative’s word for it. You can read all about Said Ali al-Shihri and his history operating in Iran, in the New York Times:
The other inconvenient truth for the Obama Administration and the Progressive Left as a whole, is that Said Ali al-Shihri and his fellow Jihad terrorists who went from Gitmo to Yemen, were probably clients of Eric Holder’s law firm, Covington & Burling.
More info on the Yemeni Jihad connection to Eric Holder’s law firm Covington & Burling is available at Gateway Pundit, and Jammie Wearing Fool.
Bush might have let them go, but does anyone seriously believe he would have ever done so if not for the constant pressure applied by the American Progressive Left?
These Yemeni Jihad terrorists are the Progressive Left’s chickens coming home to roost on all of us!

These were the guys the Left were proclaiming were innocent farmers and sheperds, who were unjustly imprisoned by that 'evil' Bush. If they were so innocent, how did they manage to move up in the ranks of Al Queda so quickly after being 'rehabilitated'?
"became a patient in Saudi Arabia’s terrorist rehabilitation program." – - – - really.. this stuff just can't be made up. if it weren't for the health of our country, this would make for priceless comedy!
Is anyone really surprised? If you were, wait, because I'm sure that you have not seen anything yet!
[...] Read moret…. [...]
If you do not think Al Queda does not have a plan you may want to look up what they published in 2000. They are sticking to it. They have 8 + years ti fine tune it.
The Fourth Phase Between 2010 and 2013, al-Qaida will aim to bring about the collapse of the hated Arabic governments. The estimate is that "the creeping loss of the regimes' power will lead to a steady growth in strength within al-Qaida." At the same time attacks will be carried out against oil suppliers and the US economy will be targeted using cyber terrorism.

Where did you get that photo?
A blue eyed jihidist with a plastic toy rifle? You sure that isn't some Poli-Sci/Poetry major from Berkeley at a protest?
Obama and the left are the best allies the Jihad terrorists could hope for. It is destruction of America from the inside and the outside.
End immigration and our support of Israel. More money, less problems, everyone is happy. So, why isn't this considered? Is our government so bought-off by AIPAC that our citizens and our liberties are to be sacrificed for these cultists?
are we all to believe the Saudis are truly our friends??? I think not. Don't trust them. Follow the money.
Wouldn't destroying the royal family of Saudi Arabia be in favor of democracy – the thing that people like Bush and Obama give lip service to? Let's see, supporting monarcies like Saudi Arabia and military juntas in Pakistan. What a bunch of hypocrites our government is making us out to be. Iran is on the right side of history.
exactly….the all know that it's against their religion for a Muslim to put another Muslim to death. That's why they want to close Gitmo and won't issue an executive order from BHO to kill these terrorists…..and AG wants them to keep protection of US court system.
we are war.. yet we still play games and our people die..
I think I am the one who has become radicalized! 8 CIA officers killed in Afghanistan, but these are just criminals and "isolated incidents. Awlaki – the Yemeni- is connected to flt 235 incident and Hasan at Ft. Hood, but this Administration refused to call it terrorism. Now, we are pressing forward to close Gitmo and have court trials. Un Fing believable. In truth, WWIII began 9 years ago. It is truly a global conflict that pits good vs evil, just like the last World War. It is the geopolitical equivalent of a cage match – ain;'t but one of us coming out alive. We had better start thinking and fighting like that or permanent darkness will descend on this planet. It is that black and white. We need some adult supervision here.
They have Dubai in their sights that's for sure. The United Arab Emirates.

In theory you're right, but in reality if you killed off the House of Saud an Iranian style Marxist/Arab Nationalist Theocracy would just spring up to take its place.
As corrupt as the House of Saud is at least they're not bat shit insane and can be reasoned with (or at least bought off).
The people of Saudi Arabia are pretty much screwed either way (as is most of the Islamic world until they abandon their totalitarian death cult).

The Progressive Left believed Bush to be evil anyway, so why bow to their pressure and release possible terrorists?
Bush should have stuck to his guns and kept the bad guys at Gitmo.
Proof that you should always do what's right and not what is popular or easier. It made him no friends on the left.
Eric Holder should be in jail.
Thank you for saying it .
Until they renounce their death cult (and that is all that Islam is) they are doomed to more of the same.
My solution is to simply destroy the rock they worship. With that gone, they have to start from scratch. And yes I know they don't really worship the rock, but it symbolizes all of islam. Without it, they are impotent.
That worked out real well for Carter in Iran didnt it you truther piece of scum.
Destroy the moon? That might be a little too drastic
(the joke here is that Allah was a pagan moon god at the time Mohamed co-opted his name for his own religion)
Truther scum
You exposed yourself with that little link you left on one of your other drooling posts (as if we really needed any more proof than your anti american anti Israeli rants)
Who flew the planes into the twin towers you piece of filth?
Was it the Mosad, the Bush Administration?
You people make me sick to my stomach, go hang with your buddy van jones you putrid piece of human garbage.
That IS a blue-eyed dude w/a plastic gun!WTF?
What do you expect from a bunch of over educated, under intelligent, agenda driven pussies with no real world experience?
Who benefitted? Bush and Mossad. Look at this terrorist gloating over it:
"We are benefiting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon, and the American struggle in Iraq,"
http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/975574.html
What's wrong with nationalism? You prefer globalism?
What do you know of the House of Saud? Nothing. Only national figure I hear that sounds insane is ours who think bombing people randomly will help matters. Let's see, when *they* bomb it is terrorism but when *we* bomb it is a good thing. That's crazy.
Zionism is a death cult.
Iran's revolution in 1979 is analogous to ours in 1776. We both overthrew kings.
It's all about Iran, folks. It has been that way since O-ama took over and found out all the secrets. That is why his West Point speech seemed so disingenuous; he knew he had to make the case about Afghan troops being needed so that Iran could be surrounded. Afghanistan is worthless, but Iran is not.
LAMO, we didnt overthrow a king you moron, we declared independence from a king, details kind of escape your pea size brain dont they?
In the case of Iran WE overthrew the shah, the PLO tried and failed it took us and our threats to get the shah to step down, and in doing so lost and ally and created one the greatest threats to peace in the entire region.
In it's place there is now a psychotic religious regime that is building nukes, what a genius you and Carter are, deluded minds think alike I guess.
Go back and tatoo yourself with another swastika and leave the world of big boy thoughts to your betters
Do you just parrot back what your betters say and change a few words?
Are there any thoughts in your head that dont come from the nazi and truther web sites you visit most of the day?
Truther piece of filth, you are nothing but an american hating neo nazi freak.
It looks to me like 0 has abdicated his responsibility regarding our national security. As Cheney said, just saying we aren't at war doesn't make it so. The connection of the detainees to Holder is very interesting. Had not heard this before. Could explain his lack of passion regarding the Christmas incident. This could be fun.
I try to understand viewpoints. This one just seems malignant to me. The logic and sanity necessary to actually form a viewpoint seem sadly absent. Name-calling, twisted history, wrong on facts. Done.
Terrorists CANNOT be rehabilitated. They must die and before they die they must be CASTRATED so they cannot enjoy their promised 72 virgins. For the Christmas underwear terrorist – a fitting punishment would be to put a stick of dynamite between his legs and light it while chanting – YOU LOSE.
Agreed. I think this Holder connection could be very damaging in mid-term elections and beyond. This is regardless of the lame MSM coverage we can expect. If this checks out, the word will get out.
More Chicago-style.
Your agenda is weakening America and transferring its wealth to foreign countries (including Israel which has attacked us and plots against us). I'm not the one who is hating America.
Lately, the fruits of Islam has been death for others. How long?
Apparently the only viewpoint you attempt to understand are the ones that claim Muslims are boogeymen and Israel is above reproach? Look at the founding principles of Israel and they are no different than Naziism.
HBO – TERROR IN MUMBAI – sit back and prepared to be awed!!! Learn and listen to what they preach and want –
I'll give yo a hint … they are not looking for HUGS or FLOWERS Mr. President …..
http://www.hbo.com/docs/programs/terrorinmumbai/
What allies? What is an ally? A country that helps us, not hurts us, for one. Israel certainly doesn't qualify since they hurt us directly and indirectly. Why do you hate the US military so much to side with a FOREIGN country that killed 34 Americans on the USS Liberty (to try to blame on the Egyptians).
I await Andanotherthing denouncing your post as name calling since you are the one actually doing it.
This is a great lesson. The Left will condemn a president for doing the very things they urge him (her?) to do. Better to stand strong.
Look up "Operation Ajax." The Shah was our Federal Government's (and the oil men's) stooge.
Israel's religious regime (with a religious symbol on their flag) are dangerous when they go around calling themselves the "Chosen Ones." Sound familiar?
We overthrew a SECULAR government in Iraq so don't pretend religion has anything to do with your choice of enemies.
Same for Zionism – which one is illegally occupying land?
Classic false-flag stuff – like the Brit soldiers caught red handed dressing up like Arabs and shooting up a checkpoint in Basra.
http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/september200...
Or like PEARLMAN and COHEN claiming to be "Al Qaeda"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsUtvOW6SR0
"we are war.."
A more revealing Freudian slip was never made. More like an Orwellian slip.
Repeat after me – we have always been at war with East Asia.
Israel says invade Iran so they do it. Sickening.
They can be created – like when we bomb people's family. How would you react?
this should be interesting.. are you mocking.. or do you disagree with history of mankind?
Look up operation DIPSTICK you will find a picture of yourself there, look up Santa Clause and you will find another fictional character.
Still having trouble with reality? Dont worry the black helicopters are on the way, you are too dangerous to be allowed to live, you have too much secret knowldge.
Why not lecture on the Illuminati and the Bildeberg group, the banking jews etc etc. etc.
It's a waste of time pointing out that the Israelis have parties that are religious but that the government is secular, or that your points have nothing to do with anything.
You are a typical useful idiot that the marxists use as a drooling soldier troll, no facts, plenty of fiction, and lots of random thoughts.
Probably because they're in better shape than you basic, garden variety, near starvation Yemeni peasants.
Mark Steyn had a feild day with it Monday and Tuesday while subbing for Rush.
Their ultimate goal is the Islamic holy sites in Arabia. It appears they believe who ever controls them, controls Islam.
Destroy the kabba and you've got a world wide war of religion on your hands.
Wish Granted
It's not name calling, it factual labeling. You are a truther, you hold neo nazi views, both or either of those ideologies puts you into the category of America hating and Jew Hating scum.
I have already pointed out that Carters little experiment in your flawed and juvenile ideology resulted in much more violence and the spread of radical jihad religion, to which your response is to simply screech that it’s the Jews fault, of course chances are that you are a Muslim yourself, if not just an admirer of the more violent ones.
Like most cultists you just drop the point you have failed to make and move to another, you are a zealot of hate and should not be allowed to walk among civilized men and women, step over the line, which you no doubt will and you will learn exactly how our military and intelligence apparatuses work.
Teaching Point : And ally for you would be any of the American or Jew hating groups, take your pick, plenty of them out there and I suppose you probably belong to most, you need not subscribe to 100% of what they believe, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, you understand that quite well of course.
You see in the real world DusselDorkus things are a bit more complicated and messy than in the fantasy landscape you have made up in your head, the one in which the entire world is at peace without Israel, and of course America but you won't admit that here.
Ahem,
The Jihadi in the picture is holding a toy gun.
You can see the molding line running from the magazine to the trigger.
You hate America, you hate Jews, you live in a fantasy world where evil is good and good is evil, if we are such a dispicable country head off to Iran and live out your dream.
Better yet take up arms against the "Zionist" but then thats what you are doing arent you? I wonder if you even have a clue on how transparent you are Johnny?
How in the world did Carter cause "radical jihad religion"? You are off the deep end. No, that was caused by BLOWBACK from the CIA's operation called "Operation Ajax." This is the CIA's term – not mine.
I hate to say it but obama will turn his back on israel at his fist opportunity , this will accelerate our slide as a nation to third world status and probably make the anti semites in this country happy byond beleif until the bill comes due
Oh and here is something from the left, make an interesting read for you Johnny
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?stor...
I have no illusions about Obama or DusselDork they both share a common ideology, DusselDork is just more vehment and honest about his.
Not only has he had the opportunity, but the DUTY to turn his back on Israel when they refused to stop the illegal settlements, yet he keeps sending them our tax dollars. If you will notice, our slide to 3rd world status started while we most supported Israel.
Obama has followed the Bush Doctrine to a tee, "dusseldork" has a completely opposite viewpoint.
It is very simple. We pervert their political system and place a puppet dictator there. They rightfully react and become more radicalized. The democratically elected government our rogue CIA overthrew was quite enlightened and Iran would have likely gone the same way as Turkey once was (and they have been derailed, too, after seeing how the West treats other nations).
Once again, I can CITE what I say – unlike you.

""Blowback" is a CIA term first used in March 1954 in a recently declassified report on the 1953 operation to overthrow the government of Mohammed Mossadegh in Iran. It is a metaphor for the unintended consequences of the US government's international activities that have been kept secret from the American people."
You can't imprison someone because they might be a problem. That's why Bush let them and others go.
You might be tempted to herd the asian population together after Pearl Harbor because they might be a problem, but it's not how our country was set up. We promote liberty here.
mooslims get on my nerves bunch a cowards, you want jihad bring it on losers
And now the right condems every action of the Obama Administration. It's called politics. It has little substance.
Funny thing is Obama is following the Bush Doctrine to a tee, even spending more on war than Bush.
He has continued Bush bank bailout program.
He is trying to expand on Bushes prescription drug program.
I would think the Republicans would be happier. Or could it be politics as usual?
That's what they want! They can run around with a cheap AK47 while they cost us trillions. We play right into their game so well.
False. You can't imprison an American citizen because he might be a problem.
We can do whatever the @#$% we want to war prisoners you dumb piece of @#$%.
You are trying to compare non American citizen war prisoners imprisonment to what we did to the Japanese that were American citizens in WW2. Are you really so @#$%ing stupid you don't understand that there are people in the world who are American citizens who have rights as American citizens, and then there are people who aren't and don't? Or are you just a @#$%ing progressive liberal piece of @#$%? Either way go to hell.
I pray to God everything you say to anyone anywhere till the end of time will fall on deaf ears and you will never be taken seriously again for the rest of your life due to your willful stupidity in your previous comment about us not being able to hold a terrorist war criminal prisoner and/or execute him for war crimes and then compared this to our treatment of American citizen Japanese and Germans in WW2.
All these roads lead right to Somalia.
Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to cut and run from there after all, huh Mr. Clinton?
Don't usurp the constitution. Our lovely congress never declared war. They authorized the use of military force. And we do follow the geneva convention, so no we can't do whatever we want to prisoners, atleast that's what our government agreed to.
War criminals face military tribunals. That's why Bush took care of the shoe bomber in the federal court system. It has nothing to do with being liberal or conservative, but rather the constitution.
What's wrong with closing GITMO?
That is funny but again it's just a picture … This would be somthign MSNBC would be complaining about …
80 murdered in terrorists car bomb but investigators want to know why is they guy holding a toy gun ?
I can see it now ….. Chris Matthews would be drooling over that !
It is true that Bush let them go, BUT AT WHOSE INSISTANCE and WITH WHOSE HELP? The left has done nothing but condemn every action of the Bush WH since the tragic events of 9/11.
what was that quote in the movie Patton:
"No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country.
He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country."
- Attributed to General George Patton Jr
It's all about Iran, folks. It has been that way since O-ama took over and found out all the secrets. That is why his West Point speech seemed so disingenuous; he knew he had to make the case about Afghan troops being needed so that Iran could be surrounded. Afghanistan is worthless, but Iran is not.
You see the problem is dorkendoff that US citizens actually care about our allies and interests, where as you just want to start up the ovens again.
You are a neo nazi truther piece of human gargbage, just like your friend Van Joke.
I am actually starting to suspect that you are an Obama administration Czar, pretty much the same rants come from those lunatics.
You really did just give me a laugh, so the CIA started the Muslim concept of Jihad?
LMAO, could you be any more stupid? Sorry rhetorical questions.
Its called principles, your politicians abandon them to fit their need. You are being one of the sheeple that go along with the Patriot Act, unjust wars… all in the name of safety.
We constantly meddle in other peoples countries and don't expect hostility?
I believe that two of the most fundamental rights are the right to life and the right to a natural death, so no I don't agree with the death penalty.
You can't hold war criminals if you haven't declared war. It's that simple. That's why Bush sent the shoe bomber to federal court.
"If people’s eyes were truly open, they would be closely examining…….."
While that may be true, it is not really the issue. It is the Constitutional duty of the GOVERNMENT to provide for the defense of the people. Even Napolitano doesn't seem to understand this. After the panty bomber incident, she said "the system worked", even in light of the fact that the problem was successfully dealt with without help from the government. The government are the ones who should have their eyes truly open in this regard. Sadly, national defense ranks nowhere near the top on Obama's agenda.
