Ayman al Zawahri is the third al Qaeda leader in a week to release a video on the internet:
CAIRO, Egypt - Hundreds of suicide bombings in Iraq have "broken the back" of the U.S. military, al-Qaida's No. 2 said in a video posted Saturday -- the latest in a series of messages from the terror network.
The video by Ayman al-Zawahri, posted on an Islamic militant Web forum, came within the same week as an audiotape by al-Qaida's top leader Osama bin Laden and a video by the head of al-Qaida's branch in Iraq -- a volley of messages by the group's most prominent figures.Al-Zawahri, an Egyptian militant believed to be hiding in Afghanistan or Pakistan, also denounced the leaders of Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Iraq as "traitors" and called on Muslims to rise up to "confront them."
He said that U.S. and British forces in Iraq had bogged down in Iraq and "have achieved nothing but loss, disaster and misfortune."
Zawahri has also called for the overthrow of Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf. From Reuters:
Zawahri also called for the overthrow of Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, who has survived several al Qaeda-inspired assassination attempts since allying himself with Washington. Pakistan has captured or killed hundreds of al Qaeda members.
Since bin Laden and al Zarkawi released their internet audio and video, Dahab, Egypt was bombed. The Middle East may be under attack again soon.

Looks like al-Whiners are t... (Below threshold)1. Posted by Wanderlust | April 28, 2006 11:04 PM | Score: 0 (0 votes cast)
Looks like al-Whiners are trying desperately to prevent themselves from fading into irrelevance.
Hey, Muslim Unity, here's a message for your splodeydope friends back home: tell them that if they ever hope for the West to take them seriously (other than for the two-legged parasite insects they act like right now), they must immediately do the following, without condition or reservation:
1. lay down their arms (including IED's and bomb belts);
2. immediately cease targeting civilian and tourist areas (otherwise they can't bitch about the Iranian "milk factories" or "aspirin factories" that will get bombed when those are located on top of buried nuclear weapons production sites);
3. submit themselves to working with whatever governments or rebel groups they claim to represent or upon which the act as proxy; and
4. recognize that the nation of Israel isn't going anywhere, despite their wet dreams of a "greater palestine".
If they do these, then the West might - just might - take them seriously, and begin talking to them over the negotiating table.
Until then, military and special forces operations in the area will continue. And in a war of attrition, the only option for al-Whiners is to continue losing command, control, and communications (C3) personnel and infrastructure. You know, the things a military force needs to actually FIGHT a war successfully.
Haven't you noticed how easily Bush and other US leaders roam the planet, without fear of any strikes by your beloved al-Whiners or their proxies Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, Muslim Brotherhood, etc., etc.? Or how relatively few US military installations or personnel are targeted?
And if the best an "insurgency" (read: proxy war) in Iraq can do is net 2400 soldiers out of 150,000 over three years' time, them's just plain sh*tty results.
If I were bin Laden, I'd bomb the whole lot of what was left of my inept C3 structure and start from scratch.
Perhaps with a few mercenaries trained by Western militaries. Cause Allah knows, what passes for military knowledge, control, and discipline by forces coming from Muslim countries is just plain sh*t - almost as if the whole lot of them prayed to Allah and got nothing more from him in reply than a lukewarm blessing and a left-handed handshake.

He seems to be channeling John Murtha. Both are stupid, old, and irrelevent idiots.

Odd, the translation I first saw of this tape said that Family Guy isn't a funny show, lacking plot based jokes and sorely lacking in character developement.
