al Qaeda web ad threatABC News is reporting on a new al-Qaeda threat that is posted on the internet as a web ad promising a ‘big surprise’ and ‘Soon … God willing’.

A new al Qaeda propaganda ad, headlined “Wait for the Big Surprise” and featuring a digitally altered photograph of President George Bush and Pakistan’s President Pervez Musharraf standing in front of a burning White House, was posted on the Internet today.

The brief clip from al Qaeda’s “as Sahab” propaganda arm juxtaposes the doctored photo of Bush and Musharraf along with previously seen images of al Qaeda’s top leadership — Osama bin Laden, Ayman al Zawahri and Adam Gadahn — as well as a photo of an SUV in a motorcade.

There is no additional information provided in the ad, and it closes with the words, “Soon — God willing,” written across the screen and repeated several times.

It looks like Musharraf is getting it from both sides. al-Qaeda is threatening to kill him and have tried to kill him several times AND Barack Obama says he’ll move the war on jihadists out of Iraq and into Pakistan.

The leftists are already gnashing their teeth claiming that there will be an attack just to divert the American people from the 2008 elections. They have an entire paranoid scenario set up in which this will be ‘just like 9/11′ and ‘have the American government finger-prints all over it’. In their minds, apparently, it’s all planned to put the United States under marshal law and the evil control of the Bush administration. Whatever. As usual, they would rather come up with these outlandish schemes than believe we have so determined an enemy that literally wants to kill them.

Another ABC News article from July reports that al-Qaeda still views tall buildings and mass casualties as high priority targets.

“Their intentions are mass casualties larger than 9/11 inside the United States,” Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell said in an interview with the D.C. radio station WTOP. “A very large building. The Sears Tower, or some large building in Seattle or L.A. or Dallas.”

There are multiple, credible reports that al-Qaeda cells are either on their way or, more likely, already in the United States preparing for attacks.

McConnell joins other officials, including Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, in voicing his concern of al Qaeda’s threat against the U.S.

“We do worry about whether they are rebuilding their capabilities,” Chertoff told the editorial board of the Chicago Tribune last week. “We strike at them; we degrade them; but they rebuild.”

al-Qaeda has shown some sophistication in their ability to plan and follow through with attacks. They have also shown some sophistication in their ability to use the internet as a front in the war.

My concern is that with the obstructionism and child-like denial on the left and the lack of leadership and apparently head-long rush towards appeasement on the right leaves us in a very precarious position. If these clouds continue to gather and darken as they have been for years now, we could very well find ourselves having to fight for the very existence of our country in the not so distant future.
