What Is It The Democrats Dont Understand About "Jihad"?
New Al-Qaeda video mocks Bush
Cairo, Egypt - Al-Qaeda's deputy leader mocked President Bush's plan to send 21,000 more troops to Iraq, challenging him to send "the entire army," according to a new al-Qaeda videotape released Monday by a U.S. group that tracks terror messages.
Excerpts from the video were distributed by the Washington-based SITE Institute, which said it had intercepted the footage of Ayman al-Zawahri. The tape had not yet been posted on Islamic militant Web sites, where his messages are usually placed.
Al-Zawahri said the U.S. strategy for Iraq, outlined by Bush in a Jan. 9 speech, was doomed to fail.
"I ask him, why send 20,000 (troops) only - why not send 50 or 100 thousand? Aren't you aware that the dogs
"So send your entire army to be annihilated at the hands of the mujahideen (holy warriors) to free the world from your evil," he said, "because Iraq, land of the Caliphate and Jihad, is able to bury ten armies like yours, with Allah's help and power." In the video - which showed al-Zawahri in a full gray beard and wearing a white turban, in front of a black backdrop - Osama bin Laden's top lieutenant said it was the "duty" of all Muslims to take up arms against the enemies of Islam or support those who do.
SITE did not elaborate on how it received the video and it wasn't immediately possible to confirm its authenticity. U.S.
intelligence had no immediate comment. CIA normally analyzes tapes once they air to determine whether they are authentic.
In the excerpt - about 90 seconds from the 14-minute tape - the Egyptian militant appeared more sedate than in past videos, not wagging his finger as he often does.
The message was the first reaction from al-Qaeda's leadership to the new Iraq strategy. The U.S. has said the extra troops aim to crack down on al-Qaeda fighters and other Sunni Arab insurgents in Iraq, as well as Shiite militiamen blamed in the country's spiraling sectarian violence.
It was the third message by al-Zawahri in just over a month and it helped to underline the increasingly rapidity with which the terror network comments on events in the news. In the past, new videos would often refer to events dating back months before the message's appearance.
In an audiotape posted on the Web on Jan. 5, he urged Somalia's Islamic militants to carry out suicide attacks on Ethiopian troops fighting in their country.
In the latest video, he vowed that mujahideen would "break (the) backs" of the Ethiopians in Somalia, according to a full transcript of the tape released by SITE.
Al-Zawahri also contended that the al-Qaeda and Taliban were regaining control in Afghanistan, denying claims that his terror group no longer has a safe haven there.
"Al-Qaeda and the Taliban under the command of the commander of the faithful Mulla Muhammad Omar are the ones who have deprived America of safe haven in Afghanistan." Al-Zawahri repeated a call he makes often in his messages, for Muslims to turn against secular and nationalist leaders and fight for Islam.
He said Muslims should try to free Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, an Egyptian militant cleric imprisoned in the United States after being convicted in a plot to attack New York landmarks. He also warned that "Americans must expect to pay the price for everything they have done to" detainees held at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Why dont the Democrats see this war for what it really is? "Jihad" against EVERYBODY!! If this doesnt prove Iraq is the central front in the war on terror I dont know what else does. AMERICA: WE MUST KEEP OUR RESOLVE. Things are going to look really bad, really soon, and we have to keep our wits about us and keep the faith we have in our Troops to pull us through this. We have to remember everything we are seeing on tv is NOT going on all across the Country of Iraq. There is NO other option, we MUST support our Troops during this fight. We will NOT let the terrorist's in Iraq win. President Bush and our Troops have my unshakeable resolve. There is only one option: WE WIN, THEY LOSE!!!

I forgot to add, I wonder what Secretary Rice would think of that racist remark by Mr. Lincoln. And Colin Powell.
See, Marie, even great men say stupid things in relation to the times in which they live.
Night,
Oh the Liberals See and Hear the Evil but choose to ignore it, refuse to believe it, or just dont give a rats ass about it!
Mrs. Green,
Any student of Lincoln knows that he also said this:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What does that have to do with the subject at hand?

I know you like to change the topic, but what does any of this have to do with the Lunatic Left undermining the Military and Damaging the Morale of our Troops during Wartime?
This vote against the President for instance that the House and Senate want to pass, is a direct slap in the Military's face as far as I am concerned!
It show's they have no confidence in our Military's ability to complete this mission.
Why dont they just take a vote of "No Confidence" against the Military? They may as well, because that is the message they are sending!!
Hi Marie,
Liberals are fleas, they are for smacking up side their small heads with no brains.
Want to hear something else About the Libs Marie, I am going to send you a nice choice article via email.
You'll love this one, involves another scam by the Liberals.
Try this: al-Qaeda recognizes the war on terror is raging in Iraq and wants America OUT OF IRAQ.
White-flag-waving retreat-in-defeat elected officials want America out of Iraq because they do not believe the war on terror is happening in Iraq, so they say...
In any event, isn't it odd that those supporting the idea that America should get out of Iraq are the terrorists and the white-flag-waving retreat-in-defeat elected officials.
It appears said leaders are taking the terrorist's side in this war, doesn't it?
Marie, I was commenting in response to the photos of Kennedy and Kerry with the Lincoln quote on it. Where else could I comment on it?
Night Rider,
Remember this. The Lincoln Republicans were with Lincoln, until he signed the Emancipation Proclamation, then they switched to the Democrats in the south. When Johnson signed the Civil Right Act of 1965, they left the Democratic Party and became the Southern Strategy.
It was never Democrats vs. Republicans. The south was always ALWAYS been conservative.
It was the conservatives in the south who were always against Civil Rights. Remember?
Ronald Reagan called the Civil Rights Act an insult to the south, and he opend his presidential campaign in Philadelphia, Mississippi, where Civil Rights workers were murdered.
On his way to California's governorship, he opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Reagan declared, "I believe in states' rights." States' rights was the cry of Southern segregationists.
Reagan did not mention Chaney, Goodman, and Schwerner. He did effusively praise John Wayne, saying: "God rest his soul. I don't know whether John Wayne had this experience or not, but I wish he had, because I don't know of anyone who would have loved it more or been more at home here than the Duke would have been, right here."
Wayne, like Reagan, represented a "younger" America. In a 1971 Playboy interview, Wayne said: "We can't all of a sudden get down on our knees and turn everything over to the leadership of the blacks. I believe in white supremacy until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility. I don't believe in giving authority and positions of leadership to irresponsible people." Wayne was also asked his opinion of Indians after wasting so many of them in the movies. He said: "I don't feel we did wrong in taking this great country from them, if that's what you're asking. Our so-called stealing of this country from them was just a matter of survival."
George HW Bush was against the Civil Rights act before he was for it.
Nice.
Mrs Green,
I must say that your revisionist propaganda amuses me especially coming from the Liberal Democratic Party who for years didn't want to sign the Civil Rights. But please do keep up your funny revisionist propaganda because I don't get much more to laugh at these days and I find it very funny.
Mrs. Green what is it that you don't understand about being a democrat? algore Sr and a majority of democrats opposed the civil rights act of 1964 and if it hadn't been for Republicans there would be no civil rights act of 1964. Pretty hypocrtical now don't you think?
If democrats hadn't been such a racist bunch and would have had the same mindset as Republicans they would have agreed with the Republicans and the words of Benjamin Franklin when he said " I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it.
Instead, democrats came up with the "Great Society" to further reduce the confidence and ambition of blacks so they like the racist democrats would believe that blacks couldn't possibly pull themselves up because they are incapable and that mindset is still espoused by the democrats today.
As far as the two men at the top of Marie's blog, there are hardly two better examples for young Americans to see of what it is like to become morally and spiritually devoid. It is best put this way to describe men like them and many in the democrat rank and file "Moral courage is the most valuable and usually the
most absent characteristic in men" General George Smith Patton
No Mrs Green Lincoln was far from perfect but he went about changing things they way they should have been done. He did the things he had to do over the objections of many of the citizens and especially over the objections of Northern Democrats. They were not conservatives they were whiners like those that we have today. They are afraid of the commitment it takes to overcome hardships and difficult situations in favor of political expediency just like they are acting today.
I do not need to supply you with any links to back up what I say Mrs. Green because I have learned to formulate my own opinions and walk tall and say it like it needs to be said. I do not need to rely on anyone else's information or prove what I say because what I say is what needs to be said in the face of power hungry and corrupt politicians like Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi neither of which deserves nor is qualified to hold their positions and are there merely by default.

Roxie,
Yes it appears the Terrorist's and the Democrats are on the same side, pathetic isnt it?
Mrs Green
Marie, I was commenting in response to the photos of Kennedy and Kerry with the Lincoln quote on it. Where else could I comment on it?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I know that, I meant why discuss a different quote of Lincoln's that hasnt got anything to do with Damaging Troop Morale and undemining the war on terror?
Funny how Zawahiri sounds exactly like a Democrat.
Also amusing that your moonbat in chief decided to remind everyone about the racists in the Democrat Party....
Why? I'm not sure.
Once again, Mrs. Green's articulate and interesting perspective is off-topic. So far, we don't have anyone defending the Democratic understanding of the global jihad (such as it is), or why cutting and running in the face of our enemies is such a good idea.
What we get is an attack on Abraham Lincoln, just as we got attacks on contemporary Republicans when the topic of the Fairness Doctrine came up.
Why is that, do suppose?
