“because our civilian strategy has not honored their courage and bravery, and we have put them in a situation in which it is hard for them to succeed.”

At first this didn't make sense to me but after rereading Al Zawahiri's taped message they sound so much alike.

The tape, apparently aimed at an American audience, contains English subtitles and a warning that American civilians are responsible for Bush policies because they "chose Bush twice."

Maybe I'm just paranoid. The whole Osama/Obama thing bugs me. And who is Zawahiri referring to when he says the one who exams the president's personality finds two other faults? They've been busy little beavers researching the president.

Inquiring minds.
