TERRORISM: WAR WILL SWITCH TO U.S. SOIL SAYS AL-QAEDA NO. 2

Doha, 30 Jan. (AKI) - Qatar-based al-Jazeera Arabic satellite TV network has aired a new video featuring al-Qaeda's second-in-command, Ayman al-Zawahiri. In it he confirms that he survived the US airstrike targeting him in Pakistan earlier this month, and calls US president George W. Bush "the butcher of Washington and a failure" with reference to the attack. "The war will be transferred to Bush's soil," al-Zawahiri warns.

Al-Zawahiri, an An Egytpian doctor by training, says of Bush: "You are not only a liar, but also a failed crusader and a traitor." - a similar message to that of his last video, also broadcast by al-Jazeera, which predicted Bush's defeat and "the victory of Islam" in Iraq.

"I cannot die if God does not want this. My life does not depend on you, but is in God's hands," al-Zawahiri says, apparently directing the remark at Bush. "Do you know where I am now? I am amongst Muslims, who are protecting me," al-Zawahiri continues.

1. If I lived in Texas I would not like

"Bush's soil"

Just a thought.

2. I imagine he will

Nothing else is working for them right now so naturally they are going to play up the terrorism angle.

3. They trotted this video out in honor of the SOTU

They've been sitting on it for two weeks or possibly manufactured it themselves. All they have left is to scare the wits out of witless fools in the heartland with the threat of another terra attack that has absolutely no chance of affecting the witless fools in the heartland.

I hate it when the sworn enemies of my country are right, and its leaders are so, so wrong. I hope they're not capable of bringing a war here. I just want to stop the one going on there.

We have got to get Bush out of office. I don't think we can survive another 3 years of his bungling.

4. They wouldn't have spent all that time making it if they didn't want

to use it to bolster his failed Presidency

6. Y'know, I just keep thinking...

Maybe Rove thinks by having the 'terrists' slam chimpy in the videos, that Americans will somehow 'rally 'round' the shit-fer-brains president.

5. What he REALLY wants to reference is Alito's confirmation

If we can filibuster for one day I'll be happy. It will be a defeat for Bush and a small victory for the Dems. Of course, totally defeating Alito would be great.

7. "butcher of washington" ??

Like butcher of Baghdad? Come on, CIA, time to hire some new writers.

sotu will be allll about terra. Here, I'll write it out for you so you don't have to actually watch. "We're facing many challenges. And there are people who think those challenges are too great. And I understand that. I don't agree, heh, but that's what Americuh is all about. But the Americuhn people need to unnerstand, see, that there are evil people out there, that don't believe in Freedom. And Democracy. And they must be stopped. And we're winning that fight. But it's gonna take time. And sacrifice. But there is no greater cause....blah blah blah...Freedom....blah blah...great country...blah....be afraid, be very afraid....thank you and Godd Bless Americuh.
