Bush: al-Qaida Threat Won't Deter U.S.

Associated Press Writer

CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) - President Bush said Thursday that videotape threats from Al Qaida's second-in-command will not drive the United States out of Iraq or the broader Middle East.

``We will stay on the offense against these people,'' Bush said of the comments by Ayman al-Zawahri.

Al-Zawahri threatened more destruction in London and said in a videotape earlier Thursday that the United States would suffer tens of thousands of military dead if it does not withdraw from Iraq.

``They're terrorists and they're killers and they will kill innocent people...so they can impose their dark vision on the world,'' Bush said as he stood alongside Colombian President Alvaro Uribe.

1. "...their dark vision on the world"
As opposed to Bush and his use of the U.S. military to kill innocent people, so that his ChristoFacists can impose their dark vision on the world.

Given a choice, I'm not sure which side I'd cheer on.

2. Bush looks no better than al-qaeda
We're killing tens of thousands of innocent civilians in Iraq, what about that? This war is catastrophic. We're fucked...that is so SCARY.

4. It's deterring the Brits. They have snipers on rooftops
first time since WWII.

Is it possible that we are experiencing WWIII and don't realize it?

5. echoboxing his Emmanuel Goldstein -esque dog and pony show
Pure propaganda. Al-Zawahiri and bin Laden are probably on his payroll.
