Al Qaeda Sends a Message to Democrats
2006-12-22
Al Qaeda has sent a message to leaders of the Democratic party that credit for the defeat of congressional Republicans belongs to the terrorists.
Just the kind of red-on-red fight I like to see

In a portion of the tape from al Qaeda No. 2 man, Ayman al Zawahri, made available only today, Zawahri says he has two messages for American Democrats.
"The first is that you aren't the ones who won the midterm elections, nor are the Republicans the ones who lost. Rather, the terrorist thugs Mujahideen -- the Muslim Ummah's vanguard in Afghanistan and Iraq -- are the ones who won, and the American forces and their Crusader allies are the ones who lost," Zawahri said, according to a full transcript obtained by ABC News.
"Nancy, call me so we can coordinate!"

"And if you don't refrain from the foolish American policy of backing Israel, occupying the lands of Islam and stealing the treasures of the Muslims, then await the same fate, you dhimmi punks." he said

#3  Did any of the network news repeat Zawahiri's claim? I'd like to know since the networks have dutifully repeated every other AQ threat and boast.

#2  Zawi's message all but officially affirms that the Dems = DemoLeft are de facto enemies of America - THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THEY ARE ALSO VIEWED AS INCOMPETENT OR OUTCLASSED in comparison to Radical Islam. As said times before, 9-11 > SYMBOLISM OF COLLAPSE OF TOWERS > BOTH THE US RIGHT + US LEFT, etal. ANY AND ALL ARE GONNA GO DOWN FOR THE COUNT, BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.. Once the US Right is destroyed, the US Left, etc, will follow; once the USA is destroyed the West = World will follow.

#1  Sadly, in a way he's right. Al Quaeda in Iraq blew up the Samarra mosque which lit off the higher intensity Iraqi in-fighting and pretty much stopped central Iraq progress, which made Joe Average American feel Iraq couldn't be helped. And AQI contributed to the steady death count of Americans, which made Joe American feel even trying to help Iraq wasn't worth the price. It's a clever and effective strategy to use against the US. It takes advantage of our impatience for progress, our compassion for even our enemies, and our internal politics/media in a kind of jiu jitsu fashion.
