It’s about time for al Qaeda to get some new material.

    What’s even more comical than their “damn all those who oppose us and oppressive dictatorships” nonsense is seeing these leaders with AK-47s propped behind them or with pistols strapped to their bodies. The guns are probably unloaded for fear they’ll shoot up the place. These guys probably run or soil their pants at the first sign of trouble heading their way.
