"Die, Infidels!"

Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri is still in Pakistan, a Pentagon official said Wednesday, following the release of a video in which Osama bin Laden's successor blasts the United States.
"We have no information to indicate that he is anywhere else than in Pakistan," Pentagon spokesman George Little said.
Zawahiri, a veteran Egyptian militant and long-time Al-Qaeda number two, took over the jihadist network after bin Laden was killed in a clandestine raid by US Navy commandos in Pakistan on May 2.
...Zawahiri -- in the 62-minute video entitled "The Dawn of Imminent Victory," and which featured a speech by bin Laden -- said he was praying this year's Arab Spring would be followed by a "gloomy, bitter-cold American winter."
"The popular revolutions, he stated, are a form of defeat for the United States, just as the 9/11 attacks and its alleged lack of success in Afghanistan and Iraq were also defeats," the US monitoring service SITE said. Zawahiri was only shown in a still picture in the video, which was released by Al-Qaeda's media arm, as-Sahab, and posted on jihadist websites Monday.
The Pentagon said the footage of bin Laden in the video appeared to be the same material found in the US raid on his Pakistan hideout in May, which Washington released but without its soundtrack.

And if we try to get Assad out, it will be a melt-down.
"Die, Infidels!"
Not surprised at all..
time to send in the choppa! (and ensure it gets back in one piece)
What worries me more is that they have theIslamicbomb — that’s what the Pakis call their nukes. We need to eliminate that danger somehow.
you said it.
Wouldn’t be surprised if the aid persists to keep certain channels open . . .for an October ‘12 surprise. Obama tested those waters to see if his political clout would jump when OBL was taken out. His numbers tanking, he’s desperate enough to need another major boost, close enough to the 2012 election to close the deal. Presumably, our military has a fully charged laser bindi fixated on Zawahiri’s zebiba - patiently awaiting permission from the white house to pull the trigger .
