Al-Qaida in Iraq claimed in a new audio tape Friday to be winning the war faster than expected in Iraq, saying it had mobilized 12,000 fighters. The leader meanwhiled vowed his fighters will never rest until they have blown up the White House.
The group also said it welcomed the Republican electoral defeat that led to the departure of Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld.
Abu Ayyub al-Masri, also known as Abu Hamza al-Muhajir, also urged the U.S. to stay in Iraq so his group would have more opportunities to kill American troops.
"The al-Qaida army has 12,000 fighters in Iraq, and they have vowed to die for God's sake," a man introduced as al-Muhajir said in an audio tape made available on militant Web sites.
Al-Muhajir became the leader of al-Qaida in Iraq after Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was killed in a U.S. airstrike in June.
The tape could not be independently verified.
The speaker praised the outcome of Tuesday's elections in which Democrats swept to power in the House and the Senate, in large part due to U.S. voter dissatisfaction over the handling of the war in Iraq.
"The American people have put their feet on the right path by ... realizing their president's betrayal in supporting Israel," the terror leader said. "So they voted for something reasonable in the last elections."
Describing President Bush as "the most stupid president" in U.S. history, al-Masri reached out to the Muslim world and said his group was winning the war in Iraq faster than expected due to U.S. policies.
He urged Bush not to withdraw U.S. forces so al-Qaida could have more opportunities to fight U.S. soldiers. "We haven't had enough of your blood yet," he told the U.S.
The speaker also referred to Rumsfeld's resignation and called on "the lame duck (Bush) not to hurry up in escaping the same way the defense minister did."
"They are getting ready to leave, because they are no longer capable of staying," the al-Qaida leader said, referring to U.S. forces.
"Remain steadfast in the battlefield, you coward," he said, addressing Bush.
Actual traslation: Allah be praised, the one who has led the kicking of our a$$ is gone. We have 12,000 recruits to replace most of our losses. On to the land of the Great Satan!
Already watched 'em do it in 1975. Now they're going to do it again.
Allowing Democrats to "do their thing" in America during a war is akin to allowing Charlie to "do his thing" inside the firebase perimeter during a firefight.
How I miss Rick Santorum and George Allen already!!
Nancee
Exactly.
There are certain unwritten rules that gentleman have always
played. Bushes seem to play that role. Even Reagan
when he took on his opponents was gentle about.
The libs break all the rules. CLinton in no statesman.
Society lacks manors and does not want it from its leaders.
Indeed! This says it all!
Nancee
Wow, he's really got the Demagogue talking points down cold.
Calling Neil Boortz!
Well there you go...elect democrats and create more terrorists. And here her Pelosiness kept telling us it was Bush who was creating more terrorists. (Now if only all those muslims would adopt the democrat sacrament of abortion, we could start decreasing the number of terrorists)
....and Nancy Pelosi shouts, "Allah Akbar!"
"When I am abroad I always make it a rule never to criticize or attack the Government of my country. I make up for lost time when I am at home."
Along with 31,000,000 AINOs who voted "D."
The Terrorists think that this is Spain. Little do they know.
A haiku:
Terrorists rejoice
as their leftist enablers have given voice.
As we breathlessly await the DemocRAT plan for the War on terror AlQaeda tells us of theirs. Pull the troops (maybe leaving some of them in Kurdish territory) now because the Democrats do not have a plan for victory. The Shiites will take care of AlQaeda and the Iraqi Sunnis in short order.
That's funny... Not one word in this article about Osama. Hmmm... As a matter of fact, shouldn't we have heard ol' Osama weigh in on this election by now?
The Democrat plan for victory: "redeploy" our troops to America.
The al-Qaeda plan for victory: redeploy THEIR troops to America.
Abandoning Iraq will be much worse than abandoning Vietnam. Charlie, after all, didn't want to chase us back to America and kill even more of us.
"The Terrorists think that this is Spain. Little do they know."
??? We aren't? What do you think Tuesday was? I haven't heard any DEMS come out against this threat, you know something like, "do not underestimate our unity in fighting you."
Not to worry,Kerry can go over and talk French to them.That will do it.
