‘Twould seem that Al-Qaeda has officially claimed responsibility for the July 7 London bombing. You know, as if you had any real doubt. And it wasn’t some anonymous twit trying to make a name for himself; apparently Al-Qaeda #2 Ayman al-Zawahiri was on video. (My Arabic is rusty, so I guess I’ll have to trust the translation and transcription by Reuters.)

I heard on a stupid local show this morning that they already have.
Apparently radical imams have said that Katrina was divine justice for the invasion of Iraq, and that, by Allah, oil would jump to US$100 by the end of the year. Oh, and Katrina has been given a military rank, too.
You excerpted an article on your 8/28 10:58 pm post that painted an unflattering picture of Nagin & his initial response to the hurricane.
You provided a link to wwltv.com.
FYI, that link now goes to a *completely* different article, dated August 30 (one which covers Nagin ordering a mandatory evacuation, rather than saying Blanco interrupted his dinner, he was thinking about busing people out, etc.)
I have tried looking around on the wwltv.com website but I can’t find the text you copied onto your webpage anywhere.
Thought you might like to know. Your blog is documenting something that some people may be trying to bury.

I’m just waiting for Al Qaeda to take credit for Katrina.

This is all from a very unreliable source.

Actually, a government official in Kuwait said Katrina was working for Allah, but not Al Qaeda.
Too bad we drove Iraq out of Kuwait in 1991. That guy would be in Abu Grahib right now with a car battery hooked to his testicles.
