Took them a while, but it frankly doesn't matter who's President to them, they just needed to find a story to fit. Heh, yes kiddies! Obama has a Muslim father and betrayed his heritage. Oh, yes, of course you don't tell the kiddies that his father divorced his mom one month after Barack was born, and was a pretty poor example of a Muslim dad.

Oh, and he didn't live the Black experience, so he's not a good Muslim like Malcom X (oh no, not the "not Black enough" argument again), and is just the same old (oreo) Crusader.

The first thing President Obama should do is to direct ten B52s to fly over northern Pakistan and drop a full load on their huts - that'll send the appropriate message to Al-Qaeda. Then they'll have a reason to denounce him.

You might be right, Birch. Maybe we should fight on their terms. Every american is a soldier in their war. Evryone who died on 911 is a casualty of war. We bomb them until they surrender Bin Laden? What should be the terms of surrender? Most in the
pakistani mountains are most likely sympathetic,at least,to Bin Laden. Much like most in Hiroshima and Nagasaki were sympathetic to their country.

[Actually, according to this CNN commentator, even now there are lots of nasty incinery objects falling on the Al Qaeda (italics mine)]
Commentary: Why haven't we heard from Osama bin Laden?

By Peter Bergen
CNN National Security Analyst

"......U.S. intelligence officials tracking al Qaeda had been expecting a similar message from the al Qaeda leader in the run-up to this presidential election. Yet, bin Laden did not appear.
There could be several reasons for this. First, the bin Laden tape might still be in the pipeline and will surface in coming weeks after having wended its long way via a chain of couriers from his hide-out on the Afghan-Pakistan border to be uploaded to a jihadist Web site or delivered to an Arab TV station.
Second, bin Laden may have concluded that, given the widespread expectation that he would deliver an election-eve tape, discretion is the better part of valor and for security purposes, now is not the time to make an appearance on the world stage.
Third, militant targets in the tribal regions have been the subject of more than 20 American missile attacks this year -- nine in October alone, according to a count by CNN's Pakistan bureau -- and that may have spooked the al Qaeda leadership, which has not been the subject of such intense missile strikes previously.
Those attacks are designed not only to disrupt al Qaeda's operations, but also to increase the radio or phone communications between militants -- signals intelligence known as 'SIGINT' -- that can be traced by American spy agencies, according to U.S. intelligence and administration officials who track al Qaeda....."
