Al Qaeda Sends a Message to Democrats

Brian Ross and Hoda Osman Report:
Al Qaeda has sent a message to leaders of the Democratic party that credit for the defeat of congressional Republicans belongs to the terrorists.
In a portion of the tape from al Qaeda No. 2 man, Ayman al Zawahri, made available only today, Zawahri says he has two messages for American Democrats.
"The first is that you aren't the ones who won the midterm elections, nor are the Republicans the ones who lost. Rather, the Mujahideen -- the Muslim Ummah's vanguard in Afghanistan and Iraq -- are the ones who won, and the American forces and their Crusader allies are the ones who lost," Zawahri said, according to a full transcript obtained by ABC News.

Zawahri calls on the Democrats to negotiate with him and Osama bin Laden, not others in the Islamic world who Zawahri says cannot help.
"And if you don't refrain from the foolish American policy of backing Israel, occupying the lands of Islam and stealing the treasures of the Muslims, then await the same fate," he said.
To those agaist this war, I hope you are happy. They can't beat us on the battlefield. However, they know to defeat the U.S. is to divide the homefront, isolate the U.S., and turn the media into their propaganda mill. Seems they are making headway on that......If I was president, this war would be over with in 90 days, and it would be VERY ugly for the enemy. Most would not survive. Seems folks have forgotten we got attacked 5 years ago. You harbor, support, or turn your back or show a deaf ear, a pale horse will gallop toward you.
BTW, some previous poster stated to the effect of "..sounds like you have been in the military.."
I am still in...and fixing to most likely go back to Iraq for trip #2.
