President Bush is expected to travel to Israel, the West Bank, Kuwait, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt from January 8-16, 2008. Prior to Air Force One leaving the tarmac on this journey, American al Qaeda member Adam Yahiye Gadahn renounced his U.S. citizenship, destroyed his passport and cited President Bush’s trip to the Middle East, Iranian boats threatened three U.S. Naval ships in the Strait of Hormuz, and two rockets fired from Lebanon struck northern Israel overnight. Jihadi Badr Brigades are thought to be the culprits for the attacks. On a positive note, U.S. and Iraqi forces launched, Phantom Phoenix, a major operation covering the entire country to strike against al- Qaida in Iraq and other extremists, in an effort to build on a recent overall reduction of violence and push militants from their strongholds.
