Other papers suggest Bin Laden ordered his militants to look out for opportunities to assassinate President Obama or David Petraeus during any of their visits to Pakistan and Afghanistan. Mr Petraeus, now CIA director, formerly commanded international forces in Afghanistan.
But Bin Laden warned them not to bother targeting Vice-President Joe Biden because "Biden is totally unprepared for that post [of president], which will lead the US into a crisis."
That may give President Obama more credit than he deserves, but still. What Ace ignored and what I found interesting was this little nugget buried near the bottom: "Al-Qaeda media adviser Adam Gadahn described ABC News as 'all right, actually it could be one of the best channels as far as we are concerned', but he said Fox News 'falls into the abyss' and 'lacks neutrality'." I don't watch Fox News much myself, but it does seem to be the best of the mainstream/cable news organizations, in that they actually are attempting to report the news some of the time, rather than working as unpaid press secretaries for the Obama Administration (or cheerleaders for the culture of death, in the case of the media blackout of Kermit Gosnell's trial). They were also the one news organization which did not appear to be outright celebrating during the 2012 election when it became clear that Obama would be back in power for another 4 years, so I give them credit for that.
