New Video From Al Qaeda No. 2
July 04, 2007 3:09 PM
As Americans celebrate the 4th of July today, Al Qaeda's top deputy Ayman Zawahiri is appearing in a new internet video praising jihadi fighters in Iraq and elsewhere. Dressed in all white and sitting before a news studio background, Zawahiri warns Americans that "Today, the wind - by grace of Allah - is blowing against Washington."
In the hour and half long video, which surfaced today on the website Strategic Translations, a translation and terror analysis firm, Zawahiri urges his followers to hurry to Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, and Somalia.
He also offers a message of confidence to the jihadi fighters in prison saying that victory in Iraq and Afghanistan will come soon.
"You must be patient and steadfast," he says. "Rejoice, for victory is near, with Allah's permission, and the herds of crusaders have begun to split up and their sole concern has become searching for a way out."
Entitled "The Advice of One Concerned," the video has English subtitles and includes clips from other videos and news broadcasts, including one from Al Furqan, the video production arm of the Islamic State of Iraq. There is a brief clip of Thomas Kean, chairman of the 9/11 Commission, speaking about the security challenges facing the United States. Also appearing on the tape is a clip of Abdul al-Bari Atwan, the editor of a London-based Arabic newspaper. In the clip, from an appearance on an Arabic news channel, Atwan declares that al Qaeda has become stronger since the September 11th attacks and that is truly an international organization.
The video does not reference the thwarted in attacks in London and Glasgow, but appears to be more of a 'state of the ummah' style address intended to try and provide advice to the Muslim world in a manner similar to the fireside chat.
Zawahiri offers what he calls his "reflections" on the scene in Iraq, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and elsewhere. Sometimes using charts or referring to lengthy excerpts, including one from Bob Woodward's book "Plan of Attack," the video is part-seminar, part-call to jihad.
At one point, Zawahiri even pauses to crack a joke about an article he read in an Egyptian newspaper that refers to a fax allegedly sent from a political prisoner there who renounces his extremist views from prison.
"Do the prison cells of Egypt now have fax machines?" he asks disbelievingly, "and I wonder, are they connected to the same line as the electric shock machine or do they have a separate line?"

There is a saying "Never pet a snake". America first helped these snakes in war in Afghanistan against the Russians and now, they are biting back. The solution which many people won't agree is kill the snake. Now, Iraq was a bad war tactic on part of current administration and we are facing this severe problem in Iraq. In Afghanistan, we are still very much in with a chance, but, the thing is the whole region including Pakistan has to improve. A strong and liberal Pakistan is necessary for peace with India and Afghanistan. For Iraq, I have no clue

Ayman Zawahiri has stole all the 9/11 footage from the pentagon surveillance cameras. That's why there is no footage of a plane hitting the pentagon.

There is a great American wind blowing toward Washington. The difference is we believe in justice by law (even though we give the President the right to commute or pardon). A wind of terrorism is short and will hurt your people in the long run (Iraq, Afganastan). If you really want to fight pick your best, let the Marines pick their best...pick a spot...for all the marbles.

A phobia is an IRRATIONAL fear of something. As such, islamaphobia does not exist, since islam (lowercase intentional) has given free societies ample reason to fear it. So rather than calling islamo(a?) phobia, lets call it: justified-fear-o-islam. Hows that. Heres a hint, if you want to stop being "discriminated" against, then stop blowing up innocent people.

What most Americans don't get is that we are engaged in a neo-colonial war to subject the Muslim nations that aren't under our thumb to our imperium. That is to say, to put them under our thumb. They are fighting back as any sensible people would when some foreign nation tries to dominate them. But stupid Americans think they are "attacking" us without reason. They have plenty of reason; Americans are too stupid to understand that.

Nothing irritates me more to hear about "this mess in Iraq". Are you kidding me? We have lost 3500+ soldiers after 4 years and people are complaining about a "mess". Give me a break! They are just repeating what the left wing media tells them everyday. That same media that so quickly made sure not to show the aftermath of 9/11 so we "could get over it".
The Muslim world would quickly concede and move towards self government if they felt the American people were still completely behind this President. But, the American people, after being brainwashed constantly about this "mess in Iraq", find it hard to stay the course. If I understand correctly, in past wars, we lost more than 5 - 6 thousand soldiers in one day. Yet we stayed in those wars and brought our soldiers home victorious. For some reason, there is a strong constituentcy in America that will not allow victory only because it might create some type of an allegiance to those in power or the instruments thereof.
A guy told me the other day: "The way you end this war, when we capture a terrorist we then kill the terrorist and the terrorist's family, including uncles, cousins, aunts, and grandparents. You would need to do this 3 - 4 times. After that, every relative in the world would be giving up their terrorist brethren".
Today, July 4th, 2007, we, as Americans, are out celebrating and enjoying ourselves. No one is worried about a terrorist event in this country. You know why? Because this administration is making sure it doesn't happen so that we can continue to do the things we do. I thank God everyday for that protection. Why don't you?
Posted by: Jay | Jul 4, 2007 6:03:11 PM
How long do they have to say "God willing" before they realize that God isn't? Apparently, they don't have "Allah's permission" to do what they're doing because we're killing them at every turn. We're kicking their tail and, YES, we're winning militarily.

It's an infringement on my space...Their videos aren't newsworthy, they are filled with vile hate for our way of life and you fan the flames and make them IMPORTANT by showing this trash and reporting it on your website..you an all the other MSM newsrooms who are going downhill fast.

That way even the less intelligent people like Chris here can get a taste of what it is they are helping to defend...
Posted by: Stevie-D | Jul 4, 2007 6:10:04 PM
I agree, we are not winning, we are losing. The liberal mindset has set in over the years. Even though our country is still great, it is drastically different than even 20 years ago. Times have changed as we know. Even the terrorist know this and they see it, as well as Iran sees us becoming a very weak country in a lot of ways. Overall in general our nation is becoming more and more interested in our own greed, looks, self worth, than winning the battle against terrorism and possibly humanity. But what can we do. I personally feel that what is happening now is all in God's final plan.

It doesn't really matter what jokes he makes or what he has to say or what he believes, because there is only one entity greater than the prophet Muhammed, and that is Allah Himself, and Allah does NOT look kindly on anyone recommending the killing of His children of any faith. This hypocritical infidel will suffer a terrible fate for his sins.

Zawahiri and bin Laden are both dead. Don't be fooled by their missives. They are both dead and the current leadership of Al Qaeda is inexperienced and unorganized. They can only resort to fake, old videos and trickery. The USA and our Allies will fight the small terrorist cells as best as we can and will continue until all the whimpy killers of peace and freedom are destroyed. Al Qaeda has become irrelevant and cannot stand up to the mighty sword of American justice!

I find it odd that #2 Al Qiada has been doing all the speaking since the day before the Tsunami. Did the "wind, by the grace of Allah" send Osama to the bottom of the Indian Ocean? The next thing I see, is the Al Qiada didn't have to put out tapes prior to 911 to get recruits. Are they having a recruiting problem? Numbers are down for "green recruits" to blow themselves up for a cause that even the leadership will not consider doing? Just too many problems with Zawahri appearing today. It reflects the failures of the Al Qiada netwark

Al Qaida is not attacking the world, it is fighting to liberate the Muslim world from US and UK neo-colonialism. But our Washington warmongers don't want you to understand that so you don't. Most Americans are very easily duped, as are the US media. Now I don't expect this post to appear since it is far too truthful for ABC to permit to appear.

It recalls in my mind a scene from "Apocalypse Now" in which Martin Sheen's character finds written notes by Col. Kurtz; "drop the bomb, exterminate them all" is highlighted. I'm not advocating genocide, but I am underlining what some people might be thinking at the moment.
I do not support this idea, and I'm sure neither was Coppola; it is out there as an idea that a lot of people might be thinking since there seems ton be no exit from this insane world. Let's pray we all come to a mutual understanding and love for one another.

If Zawahiri can get out a tape so can bin Laden. There is not doubt in my mind that bin Laden is dead. All this time and no audio or video tape. I would have to be an idiot to think he is still alive.

Hey "Chris," whose side are you on? Since when are we losing? Just because we're taking casualties, we're losing? If that's what you think, you have no idea how to fight or win a war. There's only one way to win a war with zero casualties, and that's to surrender. If you want someone like Zawahiri as your supreme leader, then go on over there with your hands up (just hang on tight to your head because it might be coming off soon thereafter).
GO AMERICA!!!

The repulsive cave dweller speaks the truth about our country splitting up. Our Democratic left is made up of cowards who in the face of their inability to recognize that we need to step up to the plate and squash these Al Quaid bugs - they hide under their desks in Congress - vote themselves pay raises - and leave the rest of the world to swing in the wind. We need to vote out anyone who is not for the complete annialation of Al Quaida around the world. Al Qaeda's top deputy Ayman Zawahiri's head on a sick would be a wonderful thing.

Chris, whose side are you on, anyway? We may not be decidedly "winning" the war against terror, but we sure as heck are NOT losing. If you think we're losing just because we're taking casualties, you have no idea how to fight or win a war.
THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO GET THROUGH A WAR WITH ZERO CASUALTIES: SURRENDER. If that's what you think we should do, then I invite you to book a ticket to Iraq and go waive your white flag to the terrorists yourself. Just be sure to hang on tightly to your head (the heads of "infidels" like you are known to pop off around Al Quaida folks, so watch out man!). As for me, I'll continue cheering on our brave men and women in uniform who are working hard to rid the world of these terrorist scumbags.

Okay, has any body noticed the Osama has not come out of hiding, Why is Zawahiri doing a the PR. Either Osama is a Sissy Boy in Hiding or he's Dead.
I like to give him a little more lee way in the guts departmant, He has to be Dead, no way would he stay out of the Lime Light.
The Man is Dead he's bag a bones in Tora Bora. Unfortunately, we have no proof, just the libs saying we didn't get Osama.

It's attitudes like that that created the mess we're in in the first place. Al Qaeda has repeatedly said that the U.S. is a paper tiger - to paraphrase, "bloody up a few of their boys and they'll go crying home." The defeatists have NO sense of history or scale. Iraq would not be lost if we let the military run things instead of the politicians (on both sides of the aisle).

In February 1884 Ronald Reagan withdraws from Beirut. Cutting and running, was the Gipper’s solution to the terrorist bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut. Syrian backed terrorist learned that America presidents had no staying power if terrorist inflected looses against American military of political interests.
America keeps feeding the monster at will grow in to a global terrorist movement. Ronnie sends in money to help Bin Laden’s fight the soviets. We armed and trained the terrorist who now want to tack us.
On August 1998 Clinton fired missiles targeting Afghanistan at Bin Laden's camps around Khost and Jalalabad. Conservatives didn’t support this preemptive attack of terrorist. Conservatives chided Clinton.
Our war in Iraq started as a neo-conservative fantasy of Pax Americana. The goal was using an American hegemony to force democracy on Iraq and democracy, like a weed, would consume the Middle East.
Thanks to Bush, we are stuck with two poor choices. We can stay the course and not pull out. This would be the manly option. This option is a great recruiting tool for terrorist. Our military has been over extended. The costs of maintaining military in Iraq are about to increase geometrically. We leave Iraq, we really look like losers and civil war will rage to the point it disrupts the global oil supply. Iran would love to control Iraq’s oil. Iran and Venezuela don’t need us. China will buy all the oil they produce.

It's apparent to me whom they serve and it's not the "Author of Life" So it only makes sense to me that these arrogent murderers will be defeated by those whom they think they are masters of....women.

Will someone please email this story to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid so they can see up close the affects of their plan for a time table to turn tail and leave Iraq? They have lost the war for us whether you like it or not the results of their anti war effort has helped the enemy. The evidence is very clear.

We Are Not Scared of you Zawahiri!
We can lose some of our US soldiers, but we killed more of your Jihadists.
It's hard to keep Iraq or Afghanistan in control when we don't know who is our enemy or ally.
We need support morally to our soldiers who are fighting and losing their lives for the reason we have in our National Anthem "The Land of The Free and The Home of the Brave!"
And we will continue so for the rest of our History as Brave People!

The USA should have stayed out of Iraq . All but for good PR presented by George Bush we would have , At the bare minimum he should have followed his fathr's wisdom and pulled out after Saddam was history . The world has been shown that the only way to win a war is to obliterate the enemy , in total . The Bible and the qoran say the same thing . Death and total destruction of an enemy removes the chance for rebirth and eventual retribution .

We were when clinton and carter were in charge. Bush takes over and does what has to be done and he is chastised for it. OBL has been worm food ever since that bunker buster rattled his cage early on. Now, we have Muslim doctor idiots trying to blow up Mercedes and themselves and they are too stupid to even succeed there. If Hillary gets in, installs her ridiculous healthcare system for all, they are the kind of doctors we can expect. She makes about as much sense as Zawahiri. Go right ahead liberals and finish off this country for our grandkids.

If Al Qaeda was truly winning, they'd be sticking video of Bin-Laden under our noses instead of Al-Zawahiri. Why haven't we seen Bin-Laden in 4 years?? One reason and one reason only---HE'S DEAD!! If we could just put the Chris's and Harry Reid's and Nancy Pelosi's on the other team, we'd be so much better off.

This video surely proves Osama is dead. The Infidels have won! The devil is done. Ding Dong.

Yo, scholars. The "war" has been over for three years. Do you need reminding that the Iraqi Republican Guards were smashed, the Baath Party destroyed, Saddam deposed. What war? It's the "peace" that's troubling. We find ourselves in the middle of a religious schism. You retread hippies are really annoying.

Say your prayers, - you boys who hide behind your women and children, and live like a pack of dogs, - your martyrdom is coming soon...
And Happy Independence Day to my fellow freedom loving brethren all over the world! Keep the good fight!

Be patient... there will come a time very soon that Iran, Russia (which will be hooked in the jaw by the "...stans"), Turkey and Egypt will attack Israel and 5/6 of the Muslim armies will literally be wiped out. There will come an end to radical Islam and Islam in general. Until then, do not try to employ democratic justice to those that desire Sharia law and hold supreme the Koran. For those Muslims that declare themselves enemies of the US, they must be eradicated - there is no rehabilitation. If you were in their hands, they wouldn't hesitate to cut your head off.
