Al Qaeda Threatens Big Surprise

Update by Rusty: I've added the image announcing the "big surprise" above.

Yawn.

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.

And the big surprise is?

Some Islamotard learned how to use Photoshop.

Sorry, I can't take these "ads" seriously anymore. Actions speak louder than words, and Al Qaeda (1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 combined) hasn't been all that successful in the action department lately.

All I see here is a desperate cry for attention, an attempt to distract from the fact that they're getting their asses handed to them in Iraq.

Oh, we'll have an attack at some point, it's inevitable, but not all terrorists are Al Qaeda (either 1.0, 2.0, or 3.0). With that fact in mind, I'll respond to this "ad" with the ol' reliable...

UPDATE by Rusty: AllahP wonders if one of the guys in the animated .gif above might be Adnan al-Shukrijumah who was allegedly charged by al Qaeda with the mission of getting in to the United States and setting off a dirty bomb.

The two look similar, but it's hard to tell. My gut instinct says no.

Geoff over at JYB offers some good insight into AQ's track record on carrying out their threats.
