Osama Bin Laden Journal Reveals His Worries About Al Qaeda

» 13 comments

Among the various items recovered from Osama bin Laden‘s Pakistan compound is a handwritten journal kept by the terrorist leader.

The journal includes revealing information about the state of Al Qaeda. For instance, bin Laden, evidently concerned over increased fragmentation within the terrorist network, encouraged the group’s members to find new ways of attacking the United States, urging them, for example, to look into targeting smaller American cities and trains in addition to airplanes.

Bin Laden’s journal also reveals just how involved he was within the network, playing a role in every attack the terrorist organization has waged across the globe. He was also aware of efforts to bring him down, but was undeterred, pressing those within the network to kill as many Americans as possible in an effort to get the U.S. to withdraw its forces in Muslim nations.

This hands-on approach to the network’s various plots shows that bin Laden was not, as the U.S. had previously thought, merely a figurehead within the network, but rather an integral part of its inner workings.

    It was a great day for America when the Navy SEALS put this pos out of business. Can’t thank them enough.

    How touching. It would seem Osama and Obama have a lot more in common than their muslimness.

    Another place another time these two over the top vainly narcissistic, yet insecure girly guys could have been BFF’s forever.

    Are you off your Thorazine drip and do the RN’s know about it?

    He must have loved the American left until Obama got elected. Now we’ve got a whole new country we’re killing Muslims in, but on the other hand, we may just turn it over to his crew, so that could be a wash. I’ll bet he was quite confused until we eased his mind…right out the side of his head.

    I’m just glad OBL finally got it through his head that we are serious about his defeat!

    The fact that he began each entry with “Dear Diary” seems a little weird.
