Al-Qaida's No. 2 Ayman al-Zawahri said in a new video posted Monday that the United States is trying to hide its failures in Iraq and warned that the mujahedeen there are increasing in strength.

"We are seeing a triple failure for the Americans in Iraq," al-Zawahri said in the 90-minute videotape. "No matter how much the gigantic propaganda machine in America tries to deceive the people, the reality is stronger and worse than all the deceptions."

He said U.S. forces were "defeated and looking for a way out," and Iraqi forces were unable to keep security.

Al-Zawahri denounced Sunni Arab tribal forces that the U.S. has backed in the fight against insurgent groups, calling them "traitors" to whom the Americans "pour oceans of bribes."

"The reports from Iraq tell of the growth of the mujahedeen and the collapse of the Americans' circumstances," al-Zawahri said.

He spoke in an interview with Al-Sahab, the media arm of al-Qaida. In the footage, al-Zawahri—wearing a white turban and robes—sat in front of shelves of Islamic theology and law books, answering questions from an unseen interviewer.

Al-Queerda’s propaganda machine is still going at full strength.

Cue Bagdad Bob in 3,2,1.....

“I’m Harry Reid and I approved this message.”

Who has the Baghdad Bob graphic?

“No matter how much the gigantic propaganda machine in America tries to deceive the people, the reality is stronger and worse than all the deceptions.”

... This sounds EXACTLY like something you would read at Daily Kooks or DummiesUnderground. This guy must work for Kucinich.

The Americans are preparing to hand over security to Iraq where and when possible. When this happens some will say the Americans were forced to withdraw. The Pres said that our military presence in Iraq is not intended to be forever. The military presence will end when oil commerce is safe for development.

Propaganda is getting old al-Zawahri — just like you, sir.

Speaking of old, al-Zawahri — you don’t look well.

Is moving around and looking over your shoulder getting old?

Do you ever worry about which one of your brothers is going
to turn you in (maybe soon)?

Al-Zawahri you have the face of a loser — a guy who knows he
has lost, but will keep spewing the propaganda until your last
dying breath.

[NordP]

George/Al Z: Well, you could move in with my parents/AMERICA IS FAILING IN IRAQ.

Elaine/Osama: Was that the ... opposite ... of what you were going to say, or was that just instinct? ( She squeezes G’s mouth between her fingers )

George/Al Z: Instinct.

Elaine/Osama: Stick ... with the opposite. ( Slaps G/AlZ on the forehead )

"We are seeing a triple failure for the Americans in Iraq," al-Zawahri said in the 90-minute videotape. "No matter how much the gigantic propaganda machine in America tries to deceive the people, the reality is stronger and worse than all the deceptions."

In an undisclosed video, al-Zawahiri also said that "Hillary Clinton is actually tripling her poll numbers in Iowa, despite the lies being propagated by the Zionist press!"

[Bahbah]

Al-Zawahri should come to Iraq and lead his brave forces personally.

[SCHROLL]

it reminds me more of Kevin Bacon’s character in “Animal House” standing on the street corner yelling “All is well” in the middle of the riot caused by the Delta’s Death Mobile.

[Squidpup]

[Qout]

the mujahedeen there are increasing in strength.

Translation: Last week there were only 200 foreign fighters and suicide bombers in Iraq. Today there are 240.

[jveritas]

Al Qaeda is utterly defeated in Iraq and not matter what their terrorist leaders say it is not going to change a thing. Anyway, I read parts of his speech in Arabic and he emphasized a lot on the importance of “Jihadi Media” i.e. the terrorist forums and websites in the fight against the US and the spreading of the terrorist ideology, and this is yet another reason why the terrorist websites and forums must be shut down.

[goldstategop]

If ol' Zawahiri is right, why are Al Qaeda's leaders being found and killled? Just like the Democrats: passing off defeat as the moral equivalent of victory.

[CaliGirlGodHelpMe]

The thought just ocurred to me - this guy must REALLY be sick and tired, after all these years, of being referred to in the press as “al Qaida’s No. 2”. It must make him feel like a steaming pile, especially since he’s running around loose and the No. 1 is holed up in some ghastly, freezing desert province.

[GOPJ]

Ayman al-Zawahri? ? That loser is still around?

[txflake]

Keep on truckin’, FRiend.

[Nachoman]

Hey z-man, did you clear this message with the boss?

[M Kehoe]

Zawahri sounds like Baghdad Bob. I wonder if they are cousins. I also wonder if they both have over-sized boots and do goats.

If there was a betting line, I'd bet both of them do sheep, little boys too.

Al-Qaida's No. 2 Ayman al-Zawahri is

[jveritas]

I shall do so FRiend :) I never stopped. In fact Al Sahab media wing of Al Qaeda published the names of the most prominent four terrorist forums where people can send questions to Zawahiri however two of the four I was able to them down in the last few weeks and they are still down :)

[CRBDeuce]

must be getting cold in Iraq, the local turban-terrorist-in-chief needs a warm room, his shivering is showing!

[NeoCaveman]

"We are seeing a triple failure for the Americans in Iraq," al-Zawahri said in the 90-minute videotape. "No matter how much the gigantic propaganda machine in America tries to deceive the people, the reality is stronger and worse than all the deceptions."

Zawahri or Harry Reid? You decide.

[sono]

Doctor Evil is channeling Baghdad Bob.

[fishergirl]

LOL!!! Good one!

[fishergirl]

“steaming pile” - excellent description!

[jveritas]

The banner published above on the terrorist forums is advestising to send questions to the terrorist leader Zawahiri from the period Dec/16/2007 to January/16/2008. They ask to send the question to the largest four terrorist forums on the internet. Al Ekhlaas, Al Hesbah, Al Boraq, and Al Firdaws. The good news is that Al Boraq and Al Firdaws are shut down, I was able to convince the Internet Service Providers (ISP) who host them to shut them down. The bad news is that Al Ekhlass and Al Hesbah are still up and they are both hosted by an ISP in Tampa Florida.

[ItsForTheChildren]

They are committing suicide at the gates of Baghdad. Yeah. That's the ticket.

[Ogrrre]

Do all of these yoyos go to the same school of BS that Baghdad Bob went to?
“There are no American troops in Iraq!” Translation: “We’re getting our asses handed to us.”
“We are destroying the tanks of the Invaders as we speak!” Translation: “I’m about to get an armor-piercing enema.”
“Americans are failing in Iraq!” Translation: “Americans are succeeding in Iraq.”

[sono]

Question for Doctor Evil ... How’re ya fixed for blades?

[Ogrrre]

“Jihadi Media”? Are you sure he wasn’t referring to ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, al-NYT, etc.?

[jveritas]

Excellent question :)

[sono]

Here’s a better one ...
Where is Adam Gadahn?

[sono]

Why the worst is probably over in Iraq.

[jveritas]

How about “Where are you damn coward and where is your master Bin Laden, you tell us that you are brave men but you hide like cowards, show us where you are dwelling” :)

[G8 Diplomat]

US failing in Iraq? Is this a video by al-Zawahiri or the Democrats in Congress?

[G8 Diplomat]

"No matter how much the gigantic propaganda machine in America tries to deceive the people, the reality is stronger and worse than all the deceptions."

Clearly he's never seen the US media in action. The MSM says exactly the same things he does--US is losing, we were wrong to go in, blah blah blah. The US "propaganda machine" (MSM) IS decieving people, and the irony is al-Zawahiri thinks it's decieving them against him when in fact it is doing just the opposite.

[G8 Diplomat]

Zawahri sounds like Baghdad Bob.

Where exactly is al-Zawahiri? Afghanistan? If so, I hereby dub him "Afghanistan Ayman."

[G8 Diplomat]

[G8 Diplomat]

If ol' Zawahiri is right, why are Al Qaeda's leaders being found and killled?

Exactly. Remember that article here where an AQ guy confessed to there being only 200 foreign terrorists left in Iraq? Al-Z's "propaganda machine" isn't convincing anyone....except the Democrats of course, but they've been with him all along.

[Enchante]

Does Al Qaeda get its talking points from Reid & Pelosi, or do our Demagogues get their talking points from Al Qaeda?

The similarities are just too strong to be mere coincidence....
