Not sure what to make of this.  Is this a response to all the claims that Obama is a closet Muslim?  Maybe their way of making him expose himself for self preservation?

Al Qaeda has never seemed to like Obama much, particular the house slave remark back in November, so I guess the loss of love continues now with the Pres Elect maintaining silence on Israel’s Gaza offensive:

Report: Al-Qaida No. 2 blames Obama for Gaza fight

Al-Qaida’s No. 2 leader lashed out at President-elect Barack Obama in a new audio message Tuesday, accusing him of not doing anything to stop Israel’s offensive in the Gaza Strip, according to an intelligence monitoring center.

The recording purportedly by Ayman al-Zawahiri was al-Qaida’s first comments on the Gaza crisis since Israel launched its offensive against the Islamic militants of Hamas on Dec. 27.

In the comments, which were posted on a militant Web site and obtained by the SITE Monitoring Service, al-Zawahiri described Israel’s actions in Gaza as a “crusade against Islam and Muslims” and called it “Obama’s gift to Israel” before he takes office later this month.

“This is Obama whom the American machine of lies tried to portray as the rescuer who will change the policy of America,” al-Zawahiri said, according to SITE. “He kills your brothers and sisters in Gaza mercilessly and without affection.”

As usual, the insanity of their comments is fairly predictable.  The only one not at fault is Hamas, and their firing rockets into Israel.  The fact they did so repeatedly has nothing to do with, and likewise, the fact that Hamas is using civilians as human shields has nothing to do with the casualties.

Even the fact they are cowering in schools is ignored.

The fact is that while no one wants a war, Israel is way down the list in terms of problems when examining this.

But since when do we expect Al Qaeda to make sense?

The only positive here is that maybe the Obama the Muslim rumours will dies down with this denouncement.
