This is a key part of his message. "Go to Sudan, young terrorist" is his new exhortation. He is calling for a strategic retreat from Iraq, while cloaking it in the "positive" rhetoric of jihad in Sudan. It's clear that the "foreign fighters" who streamed into Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan in order to fight the infidels are having their butts kicked rather severely. It's coming at them from all sides. Not only are they getting decimated by American and British air and ground attacks, but they are also getting the Shiite kicked out of them and are being Sunnied to death, while the Pakistani government troops use them for bayonet practice.
If Osama is still alive, or if and when his sound-alike surrogates gather in the outhouse that serves as his 'recording studio', it is clear that when the occasional camel courier arrives they must be getting frantic reports of despair, and not of glorious victory, from their idiot minions on the battlefield. His answer: get them the hell out of Dodge City and send the barbarians instead to a more welcoming excrement hole in Sudan where they don't have to dodge the UAVs and the locals (yet). This is clearly a retreat by the demoralized remnants of a much-diminished force in the face of massive battle casualties.
The droids in the MSM can not afford to acknowledge that aspect of the message, because it flies in the face of their death-to-the-great-Satan-America-and-Bush group-think, but it is clear nevertheless...
Exactly right - But you won't hear one second of this type of analysis by any on the MSM -
