Ayman al Zawahiri, al Qaeda's second in command, has sung the praises of former Pakistani Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud on a videotape produced by As Sahab and distributed on jihadi forums.

The following translation is a portion of Zawahiri's tape:

sounds like old Dr. Ayman is getting a little cranky because we keep killing his jihad buds with our Predators. Of course we have already taken out one of poor Ayman’s wives, narrowly missing the coward as he fled. Hiding out in those caves must be making him a little crazy.

He’s cranky or being highly suggestive, or code words...who knows.

As for the caves...I doubt he spends a lot of time in those (personal opinion from reading sites on the internet).

I’ve always been a fan of the big picture and a nice photo album.

Thank you The Comedian.

We 'sploded Baitullah Mehsud
What was left hit the ground with a thud
'Twas the rockets' red glare
Flying limbs through the air
On his gravestone: "He blew up real good."

You truly are poetic Bill The Drill.
