DUBAI (Reuters) - Arabic television al Jazeera on Friday aired an audio tape purportedly from al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri, saying the United States was defeated in Afghanistan (news - web sites) and his group was chasing Americans everywhere, including the United States.

"America has been defeated (by) our fighters despite all its military might, its weaponry...With Gods [sic] help we are still chasing Americans and their allies everywhere, including their homeland," said the speaker who sounded like Zawahri, al Qaeda's second in command.

Bold words, coming as they do from some guy hiding in a cave.

Ping for connoisseurs of trash-talk.

Hehehehe....Christmas message to the troops? A little Jihad Happy Talk to take their minds off reality?

Good ol' Al Z...always with the jokes.

Chasing? oh that's who that guy was following me, darn and I thought he was just a freak.

Mark Twain, describing a fight: "I threw him to the ground heavily on top of me, and planted my nose firmly between his teeth!"

[Steel Wolf]

Yep, staggering defeat. Defeat on the left, defeat on the right. Miserable failure all around. We're so busy running in fear we don't even have time to surrender.

Sounds like Afghanistan's Terique Azize (sp?); the same nut-case who has been spounting his delusional rhetoric since Gulf War I.

Baghdad Bob's replacement.

America has been defeated (by) our fighters despite all its military might, its weaponry...With Gods [sic] help we are still chasing Americans and their allies everywhere, including their homeland . . . "

. . . says Mohammed Custer to the Little Big Horn Gazzette.

You cant beat Mark Twain

[Just another Joe]

Defeated in Afghanistan, defeated in Iraq, defeated in the last election, I sure hope we keep getting defeated like this.

Bold words, coming as they do from some guy hiding in a cave.

He's in Iran, probably in a well-furnished house.

Cool ! Baghdad Bob is back in action at a new venue !

Where's my popcorn !

[Cobra64]

Chasing? oh that's who that guy was following me, darn and I thought he was just a freak.

I'm getting the impression that a lot of these sand-land, butt-sniffing, camel-jockey Arabs are freaks.

[Paradox]

I think this guy is just angling to get into a new line of business, like, say, an actors agent in Hollywood.

[Right Wing Professor]

Probably a message to one of their cells, initiating an operation. Al Jazeera is Al Quaeda's willing communications channel.

[DannyTN]

The new Baghdag Bob.

"Cool ! Baghdad Bob is back in action at a new venue ! Where's my popcorn !"

Great, new gags for the late night comedians!!! These guys have been smoking too much of their own dope.

That's funny, I don't feel defeated....
