Al-Qaida's leader on Friday marked the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks by calling on Muslims to strike inside the United States, with big attacks or small, using any opportunity they can to "bleed" America financially.
In an audio message released two days after the 12th anniversary of the attacks, Ayman al-Zawahri said America is not a "mythic power" and that the mujahedeen - Islamic holy warriors - can defeat it with attacks "on its own soil."
Al-Zawahri, the successor to Osama bin Laden, used the anniversary to argue that the United States can be defeated by targeting its economy. At the same time, he also addressed the ongoing upheaval in the Arab world. Pointing to a power struggle going on within the rebellion against Syria's regime, he warned jihadi fighters in that country's civil war not "compromise" with more secular or moderate rebel factions, who he said would eventually turn against the al-Qaida-linked radicals.
Al-Zawahri, who is believed to be hiding in the Pakistan-Afghanistan border regions, said al-Qaida sympathizers should stage small attacks or a "big strike" against the United States, similar to the Sept. 11 attacks in New York and Washington, leaving America in "a state of tension" about when and where the next hit would come.
"We should bleed America economically by motivating it to continue its huge expenditure on its security as America's weak point is its economy,
On Syria's civil war, al-Zawahri addressed al-Qaida-linked jihadis - including many foreign fighters - who have taken an increasingly prominent role in the fight against President Bashar Assad's regime.
"I warn my brothers in Syria against any compromise with those factions. They have to learn the lesson of Egypt," al-Zawahri said. He was referring to the army-backed overthrow of Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood.

Are you sure it wasn’t someone in the White House or New York Times that said that?
Oh its much worse than that. Add in the unfunded liabilities and you’re at $100 trillion +/-.
“”Well they’ve already infiltrated the White House””
The enemy is inside the wire. Point your weapons inward and open fire. Broken Arrow....I repeat Broken Arrow...
Maybe his Majesty will shut down all of the Federal offices in the US for a week once he hears about this....then reopen them and AQ then can go ahead with their plans.
I was wondering the same thing myself.
Zawahiri’s probably directing it all from the White House Situation Room
It seems that way, sometimes. But, the forces that shaped Obama worked on him a long time before Al Qaeda existed.
I should have been clearer that the unfunded liabilities is around $125 trillion. The $1 million figure I cited was each taxpayer’s share of that amount.
You’re right though that $17 trillion does not represent our true debt. This is a misleading number if there ever was one.
Thanks for the reply.
It could be but I think many people know about much of that... just Conservatives however. The low information voter... the obama base... they know little or nothing about anything.
What economy? Bring it on, most of the damage is already done by our dear leader.
Obama’s revenge on us?
What makes you think they haven’t?

Did this get published far and wide?
And to post on FR. You forgot that one.
Care to elaborate? If you think this is blog pimping I've got news for you. I've been posting on FR about that topic since 2001, long before I ever wrote a book on it. As it is, I pulled it from the market because I found so much more material, that I will be putting up for free, hopefully next spring.
Upon discovery, one simply has a responsibility to inform. If you have a problem with that, tough.
One of these days the world’s going to blow a gasket and the next day there won’t be any large muslim cities.
Here ya go—looks like the Jersey Shore fire is at east ‘suspicious’:

History says that is a never ending fight.
