Speaker in Newly Released Tape Discusses 'Jihad Poet,' Reads Verses(Updated INFO)

An audio recording appeared today on a radical Islamist Web site, featuring what appeared to be Osama bin Laden's top deputy, Ayman al Zawahari, discussing the writings of a Muslim poet.

The tape surfaced a week after a U.S. airstrike in Pakistan that killed a top al Qaeda bomb maker and chemical weapons expert, but the speaker does not mention the incident. Analysts say that's potentially revealing because it calls into question Al Qaeda's ability to respond quickly in its propaganda war.

The tape appears to be an old recording, as it refers to the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan in October 2001, and moarns members of al Qaeda who were killed during that operation.

President Bush won't let them use the telephone anymore, even though the Democrats want him to let them.

Not just that .. they want to impeach him and put him in jail because he won't let the terrorist use the phone

It's a crime to deny the terrorists their rights .. so says Jonathan Turley at John Conyers Basement Hearing today

The sad thing is that we know Democrats would just love to have another attack here in America so that they can blame Republicans for not protecting us.


Maybe that's why they're doing everything they can to make it easier for the terrorists.

Zawahiri was living in Pakistan
When the missiles came he got up and ran
But he tripped on his turban
Fell flat like Dick Durbin
And now the dumb a$$ fits in a can

LOL. Great work, SY!

'Moarning' Becomes Al-Qaeda'...Al-Qaeda? Hell, it becomes the state/status of ABC/CBS/NBC

He shoulda written childrens books instead of silly poetry.

Then again, it didn't work for Tookie either.

Real new. Wasn't there an article about the "poet" in the JWR today?

[cake_crumb]

It IS an old recording. I've been SAYING that all day. with links....please wait

[Wasanother]

If a poetry tape is the best they've got for "propaganda" then Al-Qaeda is definitely losing more than this war, they're losing their minds.

[Dog]

Can you get me a link to that article..

[Alas Babylon!]

Maybe it is a code of sorts.....

"To all Al Qeada sleepers. You suckers are screwed!Anyway, Zawahiri's dead. Osama has immediate openings at the number 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ,7 ,8 ,9, 10, & 11 positions! No health or life insurance."

Don't be stupid, be much smarter,
Come and make yourselves a martyr!

I think Ayman al Zawahari has been Bin Laden's life line in supplying medical needs but with him dead Bin Laden's days are numbered and Binny knows it.

Similar to the BBC broadcasts to the French Underground before Operation Overlord.

It's a short drive to the NJ coastline. Should I look for an Armada?

Nothing like singing their own praises: "To know me was to love me was to know me was to kove me...."

Is this the one al Jazeera got caught fobbing to the public as a "new" one last September?? I am beginning to lose count of the damned things again.

[BeHoldAPaleHorse]

Vogon poetry at its finest!
