This is Rich: Al Qaeda in Yemen rebukes ISIS

[LAGC]

(CNN) -- Al Qaeda's affiliate in Yemen -- al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula -- strongly rebuked ISIS in a video released Friday, declaring ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's declaration of an Islamic caliphate to be illegitimate.

The statement, delivered by one of AQAP's top clerics -- Harith bin Ghazi al-Nadhari -- is a significant setback to ISIS efforts to assume leadership of the global jihadist movement a week after groups in Egypt and Libya joined the ISIS fold.

ISIS and al Qaeda's top leadership in Pakistan had a bitter falling out earlier this year, and al Qaeda and ISIS fighters have been fighting each other in Syria, but AQAP had until now stayed above the fray, calling for both sides to reconcile and pool resources to strike the United States.

But when al-Baghdadi declared in an audiotape released last week his Islamic State had expanded to Yemen, as well as other Middle Eastern countries, it was too much for the AQAP leadership to stomach.

Damn, the way things are looking, the Western powers don't need to do jack-shit. Just pull the fuck out and let Allah's followers sort it out between themselves.

The only thing Islamic extremists hate more than Westerners meddling in Middle Eastern affairs is fellow Islamic extremists trying to muscle them out instead.

You just can't make this shit up.

Oh I don't know...Stargate SG1 did a pretty fair representation with the Goa'uld and Jaffa...unless they were inspired...

Hmmmm. Perhaps they will start killing each other?

Unfortunately we won't be able to stay out of it, as both groups are actively plotting to strike against the west and the United States. We just have to continue on with the airstrikes, and limit their capabilities as much as we can.
