Fisking Zawahari Video

HEADLINE READS: Bin  Laden still leading war: Zawahri video al reutersVideo here

(note how al reuters and every other major news outlet report it as fact. Every headline reads the same)

Qaeda's leader  Osama bin Laden is still alive and leading a holy war against the West, the group's deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahri said in an Internet video on Wednesday.

Hmmmmmmm, really? Than why are you making the video and not him asshat? - Atlas

    "I bring a message of joy to all Muslims and mujahideen that al Qaeda, thanks to God, is spreading and expanding and strengthening," Zawahri said in a video posted on a Web site frequently used by militants.

You bring many things dear, but never joy, well maybe joy to Howard Dean..

"Its prince Sheikh Osama bin Laden, may God protect him, is still leading its jihad," he said, speaking against a white background to an interviewer off-camera who said the interview was to mark the fourth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks on U.S. cities -- carried out by al Qaeda.

And who are you? Cyrano?

"(Qaeda) has transformed into a popular organization confronting a new crusader Zionist campaign, in defense of all violated Muslim lands," said Zawahri, who was wearing a black turban and white robe.

The violater blaming the violated. Much like when they sentence a young girl to prison or even death after she's been raped her because she is dishonored and shamed. Oh yeah and don't forget the ulululululul chant "blame the jooooos".

Zawahri said the new "crusader" campaign by the United States and its Western allies was failing as evident by U.S. losses in Afghanistan and Iraq.

uh yeah that is why you are believed to be hiding in the border regions of Pakistan and Afghanistan  since the 2001 attacks and you weaseled out of your spider hole to make this fabulous film. The sun is coming up you better hurry home Dracula. Insert purple middle finger here.

"America and its crusader allies have not achieved anything. Its forces in the battleground are receiving blows each day."

I just read this somewhere. This guy must be giving his talking points to the "commenters" on the Howard Dean bitchslap thread.

"The (Iraqi) government is begging Americans not to leave because they know the day Americans leave is the day they are finished."

Ya think?  That and their innate desire to be free and get their fledgling democracy off the ground you ass hat.

UPDATE: December 7 1:18 pm

Al Jizz up to its old tricks [yawns, scratches head, walks away];

A videotape claiming Osama Bin Laden is still "alive and fighting" dates back to September, Arab television channel al-Jazeera has admitted.

Al-Jazeera's editor-in-chief, Ahmed Sheikh, said his channel had broadcast the footage by mistake. BBC

"The (Iraqi) government is begging Americans not to leave because they know the day Americans leave is the day they are finished."

Well this guy is simply misinformed. If he was to actually read the wise commenters on this blog and learn something, he would know that there is only a handful of people in Iraq that want us there. ;)

OBL has been moved from the cold. clammy, cave to a Petri dish in al Zawahiri's pocket, where he flourishes.

[Amador]

He's wearing a black turban and a white robe but he can't come to the phone because he's delivering a blow to the American forces as we speak. I can't help it, these freaks are so far down the food chain it's a wonder they remember who they are from day to day.
It would be laughable if they weren't actually killing people.

Always remember the Seventh of December.
obl seems to be about as potent as Hirohito after August 1945.
Mr. AssHat sounds like a Bagdhad Bob talking inaction figure. Crawl back into your frozen cave you foul cretin.
