We vow that we will not cease sitting around and laughing it up until America is reduced to rubble, he continued.
Al-Zawahiri, who is seen in the video reclining back in his chair, putting his feet up, and flipping on CNN, later shouts Allahu Akbar! when a story is aired about the decade-long trend of stagnant wages among American workers.
The FBI has also warned that numerous al-Qaeda agents may have established sleeper cells for the purpose of getting a kick out of the nations downfall on American soil. The bureau urged U.S. residents to use caution around schools, hospitals, legislative bodies, prisons, and other decaying institutions whose imminent failure terrorists may wish to observe up close.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, one high-ranking U.S. counterterrorism official has described the present situation as a massive failure of intelligence.

(5,902 posts)This, you may remember, is the part Cheney's goons tried to censor:
"We are continuing this policy in bleeding America to the point of bankruptcy. Allah willing, and nothing is too great for Allah," bin Laden said in the transcript.
He said the mujahedeen fighters did the same thing to the Soviet Union in Afghanistan in the 1980s, "using guerrilla warfare and the war of attrition to fight tyrannical superpowers. We, alongside the mujahedeen, bled Russia for 10 years until it went bankrupt and was forced to withdraw in defeat," bin Laden said.
He also said al Qaeda has found it "easy for us to provoke and bait this administration."
"All that we have to do is to send two mujahedeen to the furthest point east to raise a piece of cloth on which is written al Qaeda, in order to make generals race there to cause America to suffer human, economic and political losses without their achieving anything of note other than some benefits for their private corporations," bin Laden said.

(34,845 posts)Well, the truth is we pissed away 4 trillion dollars on invading Iraq and hardly noticed it.
I'm honestly not sure what to make of that.

(19,926 posts)did you ever see the TV show That's My Bush? It was a total send up of GWB, way ahead of its time. Done by Matt Stone and Trey Parker of South Park fame. So hilarious, but still so true really. You can see Dubya doing most of what they had him do. Only ran one season of eight episodes. If you can catch it anywhere it is so worth the watch.

I just wonder how they (AQ) got in bed so quickly with the Republicans (US Taliban). Was it money or was it sex?

(39,909 posts)but Bin Laden and Al Qaeda got everything it wanted and more.
They successfully predicted George Bush's overreaction to a handful of Saudi criminals paying rent to a Afghan Warlord to hide in their desert.
In 1993, terorists bombed the WTC for the first time.
Bill Clinton's administration, using International Law Enforcement, caught them, prosecuted them in American Courts, and Jailed those terrorists.
He did so:
*without Starting a WAR
*without Invading any sovereign countries
*with a death toll of ZERO.
*with NO "Collateral Damage"
*without driving the country into debt
*without sending our youth to a foreign desert to die.
I'm no fan of Bill Clinton (primarily for his Trade Policies, deregulation, and leaving Organized LABOR hanging) , but I give him high marks in catching and prosecuting the first WTC terrorists.
