Fox News (AP) ^ | 1/7/2009 | n/a

CAIRO, Egypt  —  An intelligence monitoring center reports that Al Qaeda's No. 2 leader is blaming Barack Obama and Egypt's president for the Israeli offensive in Gaza.

The SITE Monitoring Service says the audio statement by Ayman al-Zawahiri was posted on militant Web sites Tuesday.

This is al-Zawahiri's first comment on the crisis since the war began eleven days ago.

In a transcript of the statement released by SITE, he calls the Israeli offensive a "Crusade against Islam and Muslims" and "Obama's gift to Israel" before he takes office.

Al-Zawahiri also calls Egypt's president, Hosni Mubarak, a "traitor" for keeping his borders closed to Palestinians.

there might be some good from the obama win. Democrats will finally have a stack in the success/failure against terrorism. Previously, they act as watchers and blame everything on Bush, ignoring Clinton years

Nice to see that we only have one POTUS and it is not #43, GWB for this blame.

I have to find my "hot air pop corn" popper. I know it is somewhere in one of those kitchen cupboards. LOL

How many times have I been told here that al Qaeda and Shites hate each other and that there is no way they would collaborate... Well Hamas is Iran's Shite proxy and obviously al Qaeda supports them here.

Wow! I guess that whole thing that the world will hold hands and sing songs was just a myth?

Will this cause the MSM to no longer support Al Qaeda?

How will the MSM back both Obama AND Al Qaeda?

My guess is Obama and Al Qaeda will soon be on the same side.

This is an historic day in the annals of history. Mark it on your calendars so that we can celebrate a year from now . . . the FIRST TIME the MSM blamed Barry Zero!

Party, party, party. It’s “Obama’s Fault.”

Yep, and it’s delicious how Obama is already being blamed. Now he knows what President Bush has gone through.
