US-Born Al Qaeda Cleric “Proud” to Have Taught Fort Hood Shooter and Christmas Day Underwear Bomber
As Obama said in the wake of the Fort Hood Islamic terrorist attack, “We don’t know all the answers yet and I would caution against jumping to conclusions until we have all the facts.”
Uhm… Is it still too early to jump to conclusions?
US-born cleric Awlaki “proud” to have taught al Qaeda operatives
By Bill Roggio – April 27, 2010 – The Long War Journal
An American-born Muslim cleric who is a senior member of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula admitted to training two terrorists who carried out attacks against the US over the past six months.
Anwar al Awlaki, an American citizen who is based in Yemen and serves as al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula’s mufti, said he was “proud” to have trained Major Nidal Hasan, the US Army doctor who murdered 13 soldiers at a deployment center at Fort Hood, Texas, and Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian who failed to detonate a bomb on an airliner over Detroit on Christmas Day.
“I am proud to have been their teacher,” Awlaki said in a videotape aired by Al Jazeera.
Awlaki also accused the US military of carrying out attacks against civilians as part of an effort to get the Yemeni tribes to oppose al Qaeda.
“Several US generals have met local tribal leaders,” Awlaki said. “They want to set up Awakening Councils to set Yemen’s tribes against al Qaeda, just as they have done in Iraq. To do this, they are carrying out attacks against civilians and blaming us for them.”
Awlaki’s statements were made public just one day after videotape was released showing Abdulmutallab training at an al Qaeda camp in Yemen and issuing his martyrdom statement.
On the tape, Abdulmutallab said that “others like me” have been trained in al Qaeda camps to carry out attacks against the US and the West. “The enemy is in your lands with their armies, the Jews and the Christians and their agents,” he said.

Any good Muslim would be proud of training terrorists. Be like Mohammed, or get another religion.
BTW, I profiled this moon god worshiper, and he looks just like the enemy.

Any reason why this POS hasn’t been arrested as an accessory and a traitor, since he was born here?
This clearly illustrates the pitfalls of having people living in our country who have zero allegiance to our country, who have no concept of what a great freaking GIFT it is to be an American.
Pity the fools, then throw them the hell OUT!
