Al Qaeda Sends a Message to Democrats

December 22, 2006 2:28 PM

New_tape_nr_1Al 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.

That's exactly what I have said.

Every nation that has been attacked by Al Qaeda has then elected a pro-terorist government.

Spain. Italy.

And now the USA.

Is anyone shocked? I'll bet you a dollar that the Dems are right now trying to figure how to sit down and talk with al Zawahri and OBL. Nice job libs!

Many Americans have wondered for a long time when the press and the democrats would realize the enemy reads the papers and views American television broadcast. Now that we have proof, can the media stop their Traitorous activities.

If this doesn't send a message that scares the Democrats into recognizing that discussions only serve the interest of our enemies, what will?

I always said the democrats were the party of the weak. The terroists truly believe that as well. Hopefully it wont be my daughter or me thats killed in the next terroist attact.

Well, when they are right...they're right. The Dems are in a no-win situation with their victory.

And to think, the bumper sticker "Annoy the terrorists, vote Republican" was actually correct! Real swell job there US voters, real swell.

Should make the Dems real happy to have al Qaeda confirm they are on the same side.

Posted by: Paul Veazey | Dec 22, 2006 3:01:25 PM

Anyone really surprised?

Thank you Democrats, now its going to hit the fan.

They want to negotiate with the Democrats now? I'm surprised, I thought they had been doing that for a few years.

Democrats are the party that represent Al-Qaeda - So he's wrong. they both actually won.

Posted by: Don Ho | Dec 22, 2006 3:04:45 PM

We should not negociate with terrorists.

Those Congressman who do should be run out of office.

VOTER

Maybe Hillary's presidential campagin slogan should be, "If we can't beat them, join them."
