Brian Ross and Hoda Osman Report:
Al Qaeda has sent a message to leaders of the Democratic party that credit for the defeat of congressional Republicans belongs to the terrorists.
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 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.
Zawahri calls on the Democrats to negotiate with him and Osama bin Laden, not others in the Islamic world who Zawahri says cannot help.
"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," he said.

Their leader speaks!
You do realize the irony of your words. ;)
Didn't these fools know that the democrats are on their side...They will give them the Red Carpet treatment and invite them to Washington for a peace meeting..Then turn the whole country over to them without firing a shot..or in their case cutting a head off..
Brian Ross is the only one to have this story? Where is this "message"? Was it sent via ABC only? Where's the rest of the story?
They don't and they're not.
Those who VOTED for the DIMS, against the GOP or stayed at home, remember what YOUR GIFT of AIDING and ABETTING the enemy has wrought!!
Holy Moly notwithstanding, if they were not embarrassed by Bill Clinton, this is not going to do it either. No hope.
Why don't they just invite them over for palestinian blood soaked bread and tea? al Qaeda lives right next door after all. http://sacredscoop.com
Al-Qaeda offers US safe passage from IraqFrom correspondents in Dubai

THE head of an al-Qaeda-dominated group in Iraq offered to give US troops a month to pull out free of attack in an audiotape posted on the internet overnight and demanded an answer within two weeks.
Abu Omar al-Baghdadi also charged that Washington had attempted to open communications through Saudi intermediaries but said he had rebuffed the overture, in the voice recording whose authenticity could not immediately be verified.
"We are offering you the opportunity to withdraw your troops in complete safety and we are expecting your response within two weeks,'' said the voice purporting to be that of Baghdadi, leader of a self-proclaimed Islamic emirate in western and north-central Iraq that is dominated by al-Qaeda supporters.
"We appeal to President George W. Bush to seize this historic opportunity which should allow your troops to pull out in safety,'' it said.
Bush has faced intense political pressure to overhaul his Iraq policy, following the rout of his Republican party in mid-term elections, rock-bottom approval of his management of the Iraq war and mounting US combat deaths.
A policy review by the Iraq Study Group, a bi-partisan panel, recommended that all frontline US troops be withdrawn by early 2008.
But Mr Bush made it clear Wednesday that he was opposed to any precipitate withdrawal from Iraq and that in the short term US troop numbers might even rise.
"I want the enemy to understand that this is a tough task, but they can't run us out of the Middle East; that they can't intimidate America,'' he said.
The voice recording also charged that US officials had made contact with the al-Qaeda front organization through Saudi intermediaries in a bid to open up communication but said that the overture had been rebuffed.
"The giant has begun to collapse and is seeking to negotiate through various parties, particularly through its agents,'' it said.
"It conveyed to us through the Saud family (the royal family in Saudi Arabia), the dictators of the (Arabian) peninsula, its desire (to negotiate), claiming already to have sat down with all parties apart from us.
"But we told it: 'We don't negotiate with those who have shed the blood of our children'.''
US officials have expressed readiness to open up communications with insurgent groups in Iraq but have always excluded those with links to al-Qaeda.

I bet you a lot Dems in Congress & their brothers in the MSM would go for this
I second your words!!
The ironic part is, how many of them are actually considering negotiating with Osama Bin Laden.
You know Jesse Jackson wants to, John Kerry, countless others.
I wonder how democrat voters feel about this? Any buyers remorse?
Aha. Now the treasonous nature of the Dmocrat Party comes flying to the fore. I wonder how many of the liberal socialist crowd have back channels to Zahwhari? It is likely the prime reason they were caterwalling so loudly about the Presidents telephone surveillance program.
I think that Pelosi , Feinstein, and all the other hoover goobers in the Dem party should immediately cast themselves on the tender mercies of both Zawhari and Bid Laden.
They are dhimmis all ready, so why hesitate?
The RATS are willing and eager allies of al-qiuada.
A victory for democRATs is a victory for al Qaeda.
"Enemy of my enemy is my ally."
I will never understand why anyone wants to be a Democrat.
Their first high level communique was intercepted. Very cryptic.
"Reporting for duty.
Help is on the way."
