Translation: Bin Laden is dead, and Zawahiri and I are fighting over control of al-Qaeda. He controls the old operational network, but all of the new recruits come to me in Iraq. So, in order to legitimize myself, I'm going to claim that I'm the one who really is the inheritor of Osama's legacy.
Nice analysis. If true, it emphasizes the need to whack this clown before we aggrandize him to the same boogeyman status we accorded Ossama.
Also makes one hopeful that infighting among the boys may solve at least a few of our problems.
May the best terrorist loose!!!
bingo
Brilliant analysis!
