Azzam the American -- CIA asset?

Good grief, he's a complete joke. His oratory belongs in "Airplane!" or "Naked Gun" with corresponding noogies from Leslie Nielson. On second thought the CIA could do much better in their sleep.

Ghadan's quirky demands almost rise to the level of the Hamas Mickey Mouse in their stupidity. Surely bin Laden is dead if this is the best they can do.

That said, we should not downplay this too much as it could be the proverbial signal to the sleepers. Or to Sleepy. Sorry.

But any level of critical thought should suggest there's no reason to attack America right now. We're literally crumbling from within and new attacks run the risk of reversing that trend and making Bush a hero again, or even worse, evoking sympathy from the America-hating countries again. The only attack that makes any sense would be the big one--an attack large enough to cripple the country and force a full retreat. Since he mentioned something of that nature cred must be given.

So, on that note let's hear from our esteemed candidates about this. Edwards just said we needed to put down the hot dog and put up a protest sign and refers to the GWoT as a bumper sticker. Obama said we're on a disastrous path in Iraq and voted no on funding the troops. Does he agree with Azzam? Does the term "Afghanistan trap" adequately describe the just war? And, is this that blow back stuff Ron Paul keeps talking about? If so, what would Ron do?
