CAIRO, Egypt - Showing that the United States failed to kill him in a recent missile strike, Al-Qaida No. 2 Ayman al-Zawahri said in a videotape aired Monday that President Bush was a “butcher” and a “failure” because of the attack.
Al-Zawahri, shown in the video wearing white robes and a white turban, said the Jan. 13 missile strike in Pakistan killed “innocents,” and he said the United States had ignored an offer from al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden for a truce.
“Butcher of Washington, you are not only defeated and a liar, but also a failure. You are a curse on your own nation,” he said, referring to Bush. “Bush, do you know where I am? I am among the Muslim masses.”
An airstrike hit a building in the eastern Pakistan village of Damadola, killing four al-Qaida leaders. Thirteen villagers also were killed in the strike, angering many Pakistanis.
The video was Zawahri’s first appearance since the strike.
“My second message is to the American people, who are drowning in illusions. I tell you that Bush and his gang are shedding your blood and wasting your money in frustrated adventures,” he said, speaking in a forceful and angry voice.
“The lion of Islam, Sheik Osama bin Laden, may God protect him, offered you a decent exit from your dilemma," he said. "But your leaders, who are keen to accumulate wealth, insist on throwing you in battles and killing your souls in Iraq and Afghanistan and — God willing — on your own land.”
The video came in the wake of a Jan. 19 audiotape by bin Laden in which he warned that al-Qaida is preparing attacks in the United States but offered a truce “with fair conditions” to build Iraq and Afghanistan.
That tape — aired on Al-Jazeera — was the first message from bin Laden in more than a year.
This is the best news from the Freedom Fighters Front that we've heard in such a long time. Okay okay, all that "a beheadin and a sawin", and all those obliterated men, women and children in the name of RIFT, AQ, Taliban, Muslim Oppression and so on, is nothing to snub your nose at Allah at, but really this Hymen news is just so heartwarming and RIFT-hugging.
Let's all gush apologetic for Hymen, RIFT, AQ, Taliban and the rest of these lil' scamps(aren't they cute???), because we know that Bush "the butcher of Washington" is the Satanic-root of all suffering in the world today.
