Yes, these are the very guys that Obama wants to start a dialogue with!

(Fox News, Mar 31, 2009) The commander of the Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility Tuesday for a deadly assault on a Pakistani police academy and said the group was planning a terrorist attack on the White House that would "amaze" the world. Baitullah Mehsud, who has a $5 million bounty on his head from the U.S., said Monday's attack on the outskirts of the eastern city of Lahore was retaliation for U.S. missile strikes against militants along the Afghan border.

"Soon we will launch an attack in Washington that will amaze everyone in the world," Mehsud told The Associated Press by phone. He provided no details. Mehsud has never been directly linked to any attacks outside Pakistan, but attacks blamed on his network of fighters have widened in scope and ambition in recent years. The threat comes days after President Barack Obama warned that Al Qaeda is actively planning attacks on the United States from secret havens in Pakistan.

In his latest comments, Mehsud identified the White House as one of the targets in an interview with local Dewa Radio, a copy of which was obtained by the AP. In Washington, State Department spokesman Gordon Duguid said he had not seen any reports of Mehsud's comments but that he would "take the threat under consideration." Mehsud also claimed responsibility for a suicide car bombing that killed four soldiers Monday in Bannu district and a suicide attack targeting a police station in Islamabad last week that killed one officer.

Mr. Obama, I have been watching, with barely controlled rage as you and your corrupt marxist cronies have crapped on my country and perverted everything that was good and right and true. You're driving the country to bankruptcy, you're stealing from those of us who have worked hard all our lives to give to those who choose not to work. You're cutting our military so the country is defenseless, you insult our allies and whisper sweetly to our enemies. Now, to top everything else you could have even thought of doing, you shocked the entire world.

The President of the United States of America does not bow and scrape like a supplicant in front of a third-world dictator.

I'd like to make a couple of recommendations:

1. Talk to Bill Clinton or Jimmy Carter. (Yeah, I know they're both assholes, I don't like them either.) They at least know how to act like a president and can give you some tips.

2. Stay close to the White House and try to keep Biden and Pelosi with you as much as possible, plus as many more of the line of succession as possible. Send the Secretary of the Interior or someone uncorrupt to a safe location. A man named Baitullah Mehsud or his representatives will contact you at the White House.

Hope and Change
