Why do you think they put out a two-year old audio tape of Zawahiri reciting poetry, with no visuals and no dates or current day events mentioned.

I don't know. But I sure as hell don't believe they released this obviously dated tape to convince anyone that Zawahiri was still alive.

They're evil, not stupid. Looking at the gaping hole in the NYC skyline reminds me to never underestimate these bastards.

Yes they did. What, do you think they released Zawahiri's poetry reading right now just for the halibut?

I wouldn't say they were particularly bright.

Arab culture is to deny the obvious. It's been that way for a long time.

Just look at Baghdad Bob...
