Spain, England.... now France
Al-Qaida joins Algerians against France
By JOHN LEICESTER and OMAR SINAN, Associated Press Writers
PARIS - Al-Qaida has for the first time announced a union with an Algerian insurgent group that has designated France as an enemy, saying they will act together against French and American interests.
Soldiers patrol the area around the Eiffel Tower in Paris. A radical Algerian Islamist group that has singled out France as its sworn enemy has officially placed itself at Al-Qaeda's orders, vowing to support the terror network's war on "crusaders" worldwide.
In his video, Al-Zawahiri hailed "the joining up" of the GSPC with al-Qaida as "good news."
"All the praise is due to Allah for the blessed union which we ask Allah to be as a bone in the throats of the Americans and French Crusaders and their allies, and inspire distress, concern and dejection in the hearts of the traitorous, apostate sons of France," he said.
"We ask him (Allah) to guide our brothers in the Salafist Group for Call and Combat to crush the pillars of the Crusader alliance, especially their elderly immoral leader, America."
Folks, it does not get any clearer than this!
Comments
Remember this from Grifdrift? "Libertarians do not want your children to fight or die in a foreign war. Libertarians do not want terrorists targeting your city in order to gain revenge on a meddling U.S. government."
Yep, its all our fault....our "meddling" around the world has brought about this situation. We should just let the oceans protect us, no one could ever cross them to attack us.

Senator, this has nothing to do with the Libertarians. The person you are quoting isn't even a Libertarian.

I didnt see any Libertarians defending the honor of your party when he made his original comments.

Senator, not that many of my fellow Libertarians read this site. A few do, but not many.
He also said that he didn't read the platform before posting that. Not to mention that it's a national issue. Not a state issue.
Also, the party supported Afghanistan. It opposed Iraq and I can see why.

Jason, I am glad he is not a Libertarian. I can think better about the party again now that we have that cleared up.

Keith,
I have banned you. I'm tired of your crap.
Liberty and responibility go hand and hand. I've said that many times. You continue to misrepresent the Libertarian Party.
I am convinced that you hate freedom and an individual's right to live for his own sake.
You are part of the problem with the country.
