Pakistani Taliban vows White House assault
Group also claims responsibility for police academy attack
DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan - The commander of the Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility Tuesday for a deadly assault on a Pakistani police academy and said the group was planning a terrorist attack on the White House that would "amaze" the world.
Baitullah Mehsud, who has a $5 million bounty on his head from the U.S., said Monday's attack on the outskirts of the eastern city of Lahore was retaliation for U.S. missile strikes against militants along the Afghan border.
"Soon we will launch an attack in Washington that will amaze everyone in the world," Mehsud told The Associated Press by phone. . .

Not to say it could never happen, but I think the guy needs to stop watching "24" on Fox.

The attack was cancelled when they found out how much POTUS hates us too.

Did anything happen in 2009 that weakened the American military, destroyed the economy or reduced our status as a super power?

He obviously realized that the POTUS was wreaking more destruction against the American people than any Muslim terrorist ever could. Small wonder Obongo has a 72% approval rating amongst Muslims. I wonder how many terrorists that number includes?
