Make no mistake. We will grill the bellies of the Americans on our gates once again. We have them surrounded and our superior secret weapons are at hand. We will open a can of Hoop Ass on the imperialists.

Osama Bin Laden's deputy has said the defeat of US-led forces in Iraq and Afghanistan is only a matter of time. In a video aired on Arabic TV station al-Jazeera, Ayman al-Zawahri said the Americans were "between two fires".
"If they continue they will bleed to death, and if they withdraw they lose everything," he said.
Al-Jazeera reported that he talked about the situation in Sudan's Darfur region, indicating that the recording was recent.
Zawahri, a bespectacled former Egyptian surgeon, is believed to be Bin Laden's spiritual adviser.
He is believed to be hiding with al-Qaeda leader Bin Laden on the Afghan-Pakistan border.
America's defeat in Iraq and Afghanistan has become a matter of time
Ayman al-Zawahri
Al-Jazeera said it had received the tape exclusively, without giving any details.
The tape was aired two days before the third anniversary of the 11 September attacks on the US, which were blamed on al-Qaeda.
The attacks led to the US invasion of Afghanistan aimed at destroying al-Qaeda camps and the Taleban regime that hosted them.
The tape was also released just hours after Pakistani jets bombed a training camp on the Afghan border, believed to be used by foreign militants.
The Pakistani military said more than 50 people were killed in the camp in South Waziristan. They said most of the dead were Chechen, Uzbek and Arab militants with suspected al-Qaeda and Taleban links.
'Upside down'
In the video message, Zawahri was wearing a white turban and had a machine gun at his side.
According to al-Jazeera, he said the era of security for the US had gone, and Americans would not enjoy it again if their government did not stop what he called its crimes against Muslims in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Palestine.
The TV channel added that Zawahri claimed there was a plan to tear apart the Arab and Islamic worlds, including the Arabian Peninsula, Egypt and Sudan.
In comments broadcast by the channel, he said US troops were lying low in east and south Afghanistan, which had become an "open arena for the mujahideen".
"The Americans are hiding in their trenches and refuse to come out to face the mujahideen, as the mujahideen shell them, fire on them and cut roads off around them."
Zawahri said their only defence was aerial bombing, which succeeded only in wasting American money.
"As for Muslim Iraq," he added, "the mujahideen in it has turned America's plan upside down after the interim government's weakness became clear.
"America's defeat in Iraq and Afghanistan has become a matter of time, God willing."
Sentenced to death
Zawahri is believed to be the architect of the al-Qaeda ideology.
In 1998, he was the second of five signatories to Bin Laden's notorious "fatwa" calling for attacks against US civilians.
He was a key figure in the Egyptian Islamic Jihad group, which later merged with al-Qaeda.
Zawahri's wife and children were reported killed in a US air strike in late November or early December 2001.
He has been indicted in the US for his alleged role in the 1998 bombings of US embassies in East Africa, and was sentenced to death in Egypt in absentia for his activities with the Islamic Jihad group in the 1990s.
Defeat??
LOL someone get this guy a dictionary.
Actually, it was Dan Rather in a burka.
1. This guy is obviously not dead, as some of our brethren have suggested.
2. This guy is obviously not living in a cave in Afghanistan or Pakistan. Judging from the video that was released, I'd say he's in an Iranian palace.
I see Baghdad Bob has found a new position.
Come 'n Get Us you swine-humping diaper head.
Well they been getting the idea that they are winning from John Kerry himself
US soldiers are not innocient school children. We are coming for you and you know it...
I see this man is obviously a graduate, with honors, from the Baghdad Bob's School of Public Affairs. He learned well.
They have two choices.
They can send themselves to Hell.
Or we can send them to Hell.
Make no mistake, you attack us, you'll wish you hadn't.
Poor al-Z, he doesn't yet understand that his grandchildren shall bow on bended knee before the Cross of Christ confessing sin and pledging fidelity to Christ.
He's not only a member, he's the president! LOL
He really does wrongfully feel as though sKerry is going to win doesn't he?
Make no mistake. We will grill the bellies of the Americans on our gates once again. We have them surrounded and our superior secret weapons are at hand. We will open a can of Hoop Ass on the imperialists.
LOL -- I knew that guy was bound to show up on this thread :)
This could be serious. The feet of an Arab are more potent than their toilet hands.
Someone needs to point out to Sarah Brady that the enemies have machine guns. We should send her over there to start a "buy back" program.
The above may be true if we continue on present course.I hope and pray that the POTUS will shake off the shackles of political correctness and do what is necessary to pacify Iraq. It can be done but it will take ruthlessness. No war has been won without it. The enemy must be demoralized as well as weakened by its losses. We are not nearly at that stage. And there will be wails of protest in Iraq and by the left at home.They must be ignored!!The important thing is that we can win! But only if there is the will to do what must be done! Otherwise, we may as well withdraw our troops now, save their lives, and let Iraq go to hell, rather than wage a no-win war, losing still more troops, only to withdraw down the line with the same disastrous results.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Zawaturban is kidding himself! Man his life is going to get even more miserable on Nov 3rd when the electorate give GWB a second mandate to
KICK YOUR RAGGADDY ASS!!
Another rag headed optimist. Are these Muslims all idiots?
