The Left's State of Denial



I didn't realize that Ayman al-Zawahiri was slated to help Bob Woodward hawk his new book.

Yesterday, al Qaeda's number two man called President Bush a "lying failure."

That sounds like it came straight from the mouths of the Dems, the lib media, and the lib glitterati drooling over Woodward's latest, State of Denial.


DUBAI (AFP) -- Ayman Al Zawahiri, the Al Qaeda number two, branded US President George W. Bush a liar who had ‘failed in his war against Al Qaeda’ and launched a scathing attack on Western targets including the pope and the United Nations.

In an 18-minute video posted on the Internet on Friday, Zawahiri called Bush an ‘executioner, responsible for the spilling of Muslim blood’, and said he had failed in his war against the terror organisation headed by Osama bin Laden.

Zawahiri begged Muslims to support the mujahedeen in Iraq and Afghanistan by all possible means because these countries were what he called the battlefield of the contemporary Crusade.

‘The Islamic nation must realise that Afghanistan and Iraq are the field of battle in the confrontation against the contemporary Crusade,’ he said. ‘The nation is therefore bound to support the mujahedeen in these two countries using all means at its disposal.’

He hit out at ‘defeatist’ Arab governments and Muslim preachers, and called for rejection of all resolutions recognizing the ‘Zionist entity’.

On Thursday, Islamist websites on the Internet had said there would be a new video message posted by Zawahiri entitled ‘Bush, the pope, Darfur and the Crusades’.

Zawahiri branded Pope Benedict XVI an ‘impostor for his attitude to Islam and the Arab world.’

He was referring to the pope’s September 12 speech in Germany in which, critics say, the head of the Roman Catholic Church seemed to link Islam and violence.

Benedict quoted a medieval Christian emperor who equated Islam with violence, remarks that sparked outrage across the Muslim world.

Also in the video message, the righthand man to Bin Laden called for a holy war in Sudan’s Darfur region against the ‘crusaders... of the UN’. Zawahiri called on ‘Muslims to join a jihad in Darfur against the forces of the crusaders related to the United Nations’.

The United States has been leading international efforts to force Sudan to accept the deployment of a 20,000-strong UN peacekeeping force to halt ethnic violence in its western Darfur region.

...The UN Security Council passed a resolution last month mandating deployment of the peacekeepers to replace an underfunded and ineffective African Union force in Darfur, but Sudan has rejected the demand.

Addressing Muslims directly, Zawahiri said: ‘The (Islamic) nation must admit the helplessness of the governments which usurp power in Muslim countries... These governments recognise the legitimacy of the United Nations, and this constrains them to protect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Israel.’

He urged Muslims to ‘throw anathema at all resolutions and conventions of the surrender, beginning with the resolution on the partition of Palestine, including Camp David and Olso all the way up to Resolution 1701. All these resolutions recognise the legitimacy of the Zionist entity and incriminate jihad against this entity.’

In a previous video posted on the Internet to mark the fifth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the US, Zawahiri warned that the Gulf and Israel would be Al Qaeda’s next targets.

‘You should worry about your presence in two areas,’ he said in the message addressed to Western powers. ‘The first is the Gulf, from where you will be expelled, God willing, after your defeat in Iraq, and your economic ruin will be achieved.

‘And the second is Israel, because the jihadi reinforcements are getting closer, with God’s help and power, and your defeat there will put an end to the superiority of the Zionists and Crusaders.’

In his latest video, Zawahiri called on Muslims to ‘wage a popular jihadist war against the Crusader campaign’ because ‘that is what the enemy fears the most’.

Wow.

Does that make you want to run out and buy Woodward's
State of Denial?

I wonder.

Do Leftists enjoy being on the same page as sworn enemies of the United States?

It would make me uncomfortable.

Do Leftists squirm when their words are echoed by al Qaeda's number two guy?

I know that would bother me.

Do Leftists take pause to reevaluate their positions and their statements when they learn that terrorists have the same views?

I certainly would take time to reconsider my beliefs if I were thinking like a member of al Qaeda.

Who are America's enemies?

Go to your local bookstore. Watch C-SPAN.

It's very clear to me.

I think the Left is in a "state of denial."

The links are cut off! How am I suppose to steal pictures if I can't get to the link? :)

The terrorists have been stumping for the Dems since this whole thing started... or is that visa versa? Hmmmm.....

Don't worry, Kate. I'll post the pics that Pero was so generous to share. :)
