Al Qaeda Vows Revenge for Gaza Ayman al-Zawahiri Vows to Avenge Deaths of Palestinians By MADDY SAUER

Jan. 6, 2009—

Osama bin Laden's top deputy in al Qaeda has released a new tape in which he threatens the United States and vows revenge for the deaths of Palestinians in Gaza.

"We will never stop until we avenge the death of all who are killed, injured, widowed and orphaned in Palestine and throughout the Islamic world," said Ayman al-Zawahiri in a new 10-minute audio recording released today on extreme Islamist Web forums.

The message is entitled "The Massacre in Gaza and the Siege of the Traitors".

Zawahiri refers directly to President-elect Barack Obama saying he has partnered with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, whom Zawahiri labels as a traitor to Islam.

"What you are facing today is just occupation and settlement that is limited to one area or one country, but is part of a series in the Crusaders war against Islam," says Zawahiri. "These air strikes are a gift from Obama before he takes office, and from Hosni Mubarak, the traitor who is the primary partner in your siege and murder."

So Al Qaeda is going to take out Hussein? That’s like deciding whether to root for Russia or China in Olympic wrestling! Oh well, may the better Muslim win!

"Whew... is it just me or is it getting warm in here?"

Death. That's all these cutthroats talk about. Death and killing.

We kill you, we kill you....a thousand times we kill you!!

I guess when you embrace the culture of death as the West has done, sometimes it comes to you in unexpected and unwished for ways.

“We will never stop until we avenge the death of all who are killed, injured, widowed and orphaned in Palestine and throughout the Islamic world,” said Ayman al-Zawahiri, “we will, therefore, send the “Army of Allah” suicide bomber brigades to Sri Lanka and blow up men, women and children who have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA where Palestine is or that anything out of the ordinary is occurring. We will, then, proceed to the furtherest reaches of New Zealand and attack the native people living in total reclusiveness and inaccessibility who will have ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE AS TO WHO YOU ARE OR WHAT YOU ARE DOING — AND — we will insult your leader's pets and choice of tie on Inauguration Day, as well as little old ladies on pensions.”

So, there!!! That ought to bring the world to its knees, suddenly see the light and convert the infidels.

I thought Osama bin Laden was the AQ leader... shouldn’t *he* be making these statements?... or is there some other reason we have not seen him for four years?

I wonder...

Okay, the assault on Gaza began 11 days ago. So at that point Smelly Samir jumped on his ass and rode it for five days up narrow, twisty mountain paths to Zawahiri’s cave to tell him about it.

Zawahiri then issued this official threat that we’ve all just read, whereupon Smelly Samir jumped back up on his ass and rode for five days carrying Zawahiri’s message back down the same narrow, twisty mountain paths that he had taken earlier.

This ought to help us pinpoint his whereabouts; namely, he’s in a cave, somewhere along the Afghan/Pak border, five days from the nearest television set, as the poor donkey hoofs it with one smelly Samir on his back.

Mr. Oboma has stepped into a riled up hornets nest.
He truly has no idea of "out of the frying pan and into the fire" that he has got himself into.

As long as we’re counting, how many defenseless civilians has Al Qaeda killed? And we won’t stop until Al Qaeda is a bad memory and al-Zawahiri is particles.
