CIA (former agent on FNC)- "he will move hard and fast and swift"
Buckle up.
Just damn.
If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
Someone get us a screen grab on MSNBC
(09-09) 11:27 PDT CAIRO, Egypt (AP) -- Osama bin Laden's deputy, Ayman al-Zawahri, claimed mujahedeen, or holy fighters, have taken control of much of Afghanistan and driven U.S. forces into the "trenches," according to a videotape aired on Al-Jazeera TV Friday.
Southern and eastern Afghanistan have been wracked by the fiercest resistance to U.S. military forces and there have been frequent attacks on Afghan election workers preparing for an Oct. 9 presidential vote.
However, no Afghan provincial government is considered in jeopardy of falling and Afghan and U.S. forces have largely controlled the country.
Wearing a white turban, the bespectacled Egyptian surgeon said "southern and eastern Afghanistan have completely become an open field for the mujahedeen."
"As for the Americans, they are now lying in their trenches, refusing to come out to meet the mujahedeen, despite the provocation of attacks, hits and carjacking," he said.
It was not immediately clear when the tape was made or how it was obtained by Al-Jazeera.
President Hamid Karzai has said recently that he considers infighting among pro-government warlords a larger threat to the nation's stability than that posed by the remnants of the Taliban regime.
Thanx.
Waiting..........
Fox showing video. Zawahari sitting in front of a tarp with an AK varient at his right side.
He looks tanned...look for clues on the tape....anything look odd to you post it.
FOX NEWS showing tape...
One look, and I started shaking.
I shouldn't let them get to me, but they do!
There is a pesky fly in the video too.
It's ok sissy..
There's been tens of these things...and never Osama.
Could be just another off the shelf Al Jazeera videotape, or another paste and cut job from older videos.
This is a trigger...
AP (Cairo) translation: "Mujahadeen has taken control of much of Afghanistan and driven the US forces into the trenches..."
I'm afraid so...
Just saw the video on Fox... just want to know how Al Zawahiri gets his white so white....looking for laundry tips Ayman.
I agree with you, Tree of Liberty. Considering the timing....
In their freaking dreams...
What's on his forehead? (target marking?)
Could have been made a year ago. If no mention of specific current events, this is assured.
Jazeera disinformation, profit motive, plug for Kerry, who knows?
