Al-Qaeda media arm produces promotional mug

[KJF]

As-Sahab, al-Qaeda's media arm, has produced a promotional mug bearing its logo. The mug, black with a gold logo, debuted in a recent video from al-Qaeda spokesman Adam Gadahn, who called for attacks on President Bush during his trip to the Middle East.

Screengrabs of Gadahn with the mug can be found here:

The "mug shot" was highlighted by terrorist Analyst J.M. Berger, who comments:

I'm sorry. I am as patriotic as the next guy, but I simply must have an As-Sahab Productions coffee mug.

...

How "on the run" can al Qaeda be if they have time and energy to make promotional items for their staffers? And that laptop with Bluetooth mouse is nicer than mine. (Although given al Qaeda's alleged computer security prowess, you'd think Azzam would know better than to be running Bluetooth.)

2. I know why Blackwater is fighting al-Queda now

They are siphoning off customers from their proprietary branded coffee mugs, t-shirts, baseball caps, and other assorted crap that has a huge markup.
