I'm not the biggest fan of Barack 'Jesus is Back!' Obama for sure, but this is just so ridiculous as to be utterly stupid.
Al Qaeda's number 2 (what a shitty title) Ayman Al-Zawahiri is running off at the mouth again and flaunting not only the same old tired blame the US bullshit, but also an apparent ignorance of US politics. 
Bush hasn't even left office yet and already he's up Obama's rear end.
Al-Qaida's No. 2 leader lashed out at President-elect Barack Obama in a new audio message Tuesday, accusing him of not doing anything to stop Israel's offensive in the Gaza Strip, according to an intelligence monitoring center.
What in the hell is he supposed to do exactly? The Palestinians can't stop it...or rather won't, since they have an obsessive compulsive drive to blow up Israeli civilians with rockets (hey, it's more fun than Wii, right?)
The Israelis can't stop it now, because to do so would be a sign of weakness; something they certainly can't afford.
Bush can't stop it because well, ok, I'm not going to go there at the moment, but suffice it to say he can't.
So I guess it falls back on Barack Obama who's actually (sorry Ayman) not technically president yet.
Now I realize Obama's going to give us free gasoline, free college, and cater our turkey dinners every night for the next four years, all the while shooting laser beams out of His eyes and fighting injustice in a blue spandex suit, but give it a rest. There are limits to what Obama Himself can even do. 'Specially since, contrary to what every Democrat I know thinks, he really isn't actually President yet. Just saying.
al-Zawahiri described Israel's actions in Gaza as a "crusade against Islam and Muslims" and called it "Obama's gift to Israel...He kills your brothers and sisters in Gaza mercilessly and without affection."
Well, technically it kind of IS a crusade against Islam and Muslims. Just the ones who keep pissing in Israel's beer. And as for being Obama's gift to Israel, there he's just a dumb ass. It's kind of Hamas' new year's gift to themselves for years of kidnapping Israelis and blowing shit up in spite of agreements not to. I mean it's not like they randomly fire rockets into populated Israeli civilian centers or encourage suicide bombings from time to time or anything. That would be bad, and Hamas is the victim here, let's not forget.
As you can see, it breaks down like this.
Israel = Defends their territory and soveriegnty against Hamas, gets tired of being attacked and strikes back. Traditionally gives advance notice of retaliatory strikes in defiance of conventional wisdom and although not always successful, uses tactics designed to minimize collateral damage. This makes them evil Zionist crusader Nazis.
Make sense? Because that my friends is exactly how Zawahiri and the Palestinian cause want you to think.
This is not about Israeli Naziism. This whole affair, to paraphrase Reverend Wright, is a case of Hamas' chickens coming home to roost.
