Al-Qaida's deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahri called U.S. President George W. Bush a "butcher" and a "failure" in a videotape aired on Arab television Monday, his first appearance since an American airstrike that targeted him this month in Pakistan.
Al-Zawahri, shown in the video wearing white robes and a white turban, said the Jan. 13 airstrike killed "innocents" and said the United States had ignored an offer from al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden for a truce.
"Butcher of Washington, you are not only defeated and a liar, but also a failure. You are a curse on your own nation," he said, referring to Bush. "Bush, do you know where I am? I am among the Muslim masses."
The airstrike hit a building in the eastern Pakistan village of Damadola, killing four al-Qaida leaders. Thirteen villagers were also killed in the strike, angering many Pakistanis.
Hasn't Dean already voiced this opinion?
Has he asked Harry Belafonte to intertain HIS troops yet?
The DNC must know where he is. They are obviously sending him the daily talking points.
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.
Too bad Al-Zawahri missed the festivities in Caracas. He could've delivered his message with applause from Hugo Chavez and Cindy Sheehan.
"You are a curse on your own nation."
No THAT would be the liberal socialists who sided with Joseph Stalin and now side with YOU against the United States.
What's the word for someone who hides behind children and targets innocent civilians?
There is a slight moral difference between collateral damage and intentional targeting. Terrorists deliberately expose children and innocents to collateral damage, using them as unwitting human shields. If we could just kill terrorists, we'd be a lot happier and sleep a lot easier. Terrorists on the other hand want to expand their attacks to include more innocents.
Al-Zawahri ping.
I guess I was wrong.
Hugo Chavez will be upset when Zawahiri releases his own makeout video with Mother Sheehan.
I blame Google for his beliefs.
I see that Al Queda is still on the DNC's fax daily talking points fax list.
Hey, having dinner with Al Qaida is kinda like going clubbing with the posse from Death Row Records. It might be fun for a while, but don't be surprised when the shooting starts.
P.S. Maybe that is why the DNC has their panties in such a wad over the NSA monitoring of overseas phone calls.
" I am among the Muslim masses"
Well, that clears up alot of things. let's get some W88s ready...
Eenie, meenie, minee, moe. Either we'll get him or the "masses" will spew him out, eventually.
It looks like we missed one HVT.
There's something very, very childish and insecure about this man. He's terrified and taking refuge amongst women and children. He's filled with rage but can only vent it on the lens of a video camera, bringing his temper tantrum to the world through a videotape while jumping at every sudden noise, living in paranoia of every strange face, and panicking at every sound of aircraft in the sky. And he thinks he's right on top of things, LOL.
Ahem...
Does the word 'irony' mean anything to them?!
