We must eliminate the cross…the bearer of the cross is America

In a video posted by Tracking Terrorism and other news outlets, Nasir al-Wuhayshi, the leader of al-Qaeda in Yemen, proclaims “We must eliminate the cross … the bearer of the cross is America.”

Let’s see how America reacts to this statement. Is this country the “bearer of the cross” or will denounce that assertion in a futile attempt to appease the misguided souls of al-Qaeda?

U.S. intelligence sources say the 15-minute video appears to be recent and authentic, and added that they are surprised by the video. No doubt the video caught them by surprise, as Mr. Obama claimed some time ago that “al-Qaeda has been decimated.”

If Barack says it is so – lots of times – it must be true, right?
