There’s nothing to see here. Just move along. It’s just another video from a bearded attention-seeking dumbass who is filled with rage because he didn’t get a pony as a child:

“We shall continue to target you at home and abroad just as you target us at home and abroad … ,” Gadahn — also known as Azzam the American — says in the video provided to CNN by www.LauraMansfield.com, a Web site that analyzes terrorism.

Later in the video, which is about an hour long and takes the form of a documentary, the self-proclaimed American jihadist makes explicit threats against the United States and U.S. interests, singling out embassies and consulates. Video Watch a silent excerpt of the video »

“These spy dens and military command and control centers — from which you plotted your aggression against Afghanistan and Iraq and which still provide vital moral, military, material and logistical support to the crusade — shall continue to be legitimate targets for brave Muslims … until and unless you heed our demands: Stop the crusade and leave the Muslims alone,” he said.

I think he is probably pleading their followers, giving them broad direction, more than anything else. You can download the video, which is provided by Laura Mansfield, here. (Now available above – John)
