A couple days ago I viewed a video release of "sheikh" and "mujahideen" - of which he is neither - Adam Gadahn. The views have only nudged from 28 to 142, so perhaps he has lost his audience.
His look is a bit updated with what looks like the Sarah Palin glasses. He is too clean. His fingernails look nicely trimmed and hands soft and unburdened by real work, like the rest of us. The guy was a lazy oaf before, and a lazy oaf he remains.
He tossed a signal to his audience using a mannerism for which his master is noted. "October surprise?" But I do have to say that positioning the business end of a weapon toward his chin while speaking seems a bit imprudent. I am sure he knows why a donkey brays, Qur'anic whiz kid that he is....
Here's to you, Adam.
*As an editorial addendum, it is interesting to note that the second release of a video by Osama bin Laden in as many days is now showing with both Arabic and translation to the language of the camp. (Urdu, which is spoken in Pakistan) Oct. 2, 2010
