Al Qaeda still Targeting US

American al Qaeda figure Adam Gadahn called on Muslims to support jihad with ?men and money,? while claiming that the West was now on the verge of collapse under the strikes of the militants.

Gadahn?s comments came in a one-hour and 30-minute video produced by al Qaeda?s media wing As Sahab and released on the Internet on Monday.

?The enemy under the leadership of the unbelieving West has began to stagger and falter, and the results of its unabated bleeding has began to show on its economy, which is on the brink of failure,? said Gadahn.

Gadahn appeared dressed in a greyish Pakistani traditional dress, and sitting at a desk with two computers to his right and a Kalashnikov and a suicide belt hanging on the wall behind him. He looked a little thinner than usual.

He dismissed efforts by U.S. President Barack Obama to improve relations with the Muslim world, saying that his predecessors had all made the same claim but all, including President Obama himself, have maintained the same policies and the same approach towards Muslims.

?Obama?s own statements contradict his claims,? Gadahn asserted, as he referred to the U.S. president?s assurances to Israel that Jerusalem will remain its undivided capital, and his pledge to increase U.S. forces in Afghanistan. - CBS News Story

I guess he didn't get the memo of us not fighting the war on terror anymore. This is just yet more proof that we are still very much in the cross hairs of terrorists.
