al Qaeda Tape Claims Winning in Afghanistan

Via In the Bullpen news of a new al Qaeda tape. Right: A still image of Ayman al-Zawahri from the tape. Fox News:

Ayman al-Zawahri (search), Usama bin Laden's right-hand man, appeared in a new videotape aired on Al Jazeera on Thursday, Reuters reported.
The number two figure in Al Qaeda (search) said U.S. forces have only limited movement in Afghanistan, Reuters reported.
Al-Zawahri was wearing a white turban with a machine gun at his side and spoke for several minutes in the videotape, Reuters reported.
It is largely believed that Al-Zawahri, an Egyptian doctor, is the brains behind the terror network.

Do I believe we are losing in Afghanistan? No, not on your life. But how can we win the minds and hearts of the Middle East as long as you have al Jazeera running stories like this? The image below is what Arabs see everyday. If you read this stuff and saw these images you would hate us too. Why do you think Noam Chomsky hates America?

Al Jazeera headline: US Bombing Kills More Fallujah Civillians

The caption with the above picture: "The US insists air raids are precise while civillians continue to die."

1 They keep shutting down Al Jazeera but without missing a beat, they are always up again. Pure bias against the US and especially President Bush - probably because they weren't invited to the RNC. As to the tape, I would imagine it's only there to further terrorize. "they are doing the maximum damage they can just about everywhere so that people in the US will not re-elect President Bush. Unfortunately that's just less than 2 months to go and you think it's nasty here? They are going to make it even nastier everywhere so people will think it's all his fault. ~C

2 What in the world is that weapon to his left? Looks like an AK with a granade launcher under the barrel. I've never seen it before.

3 The US attack on Fallujah looks bad, really bad. To me as an Australian citizen it appears the US is using it's Armed Forces to brutally murder innocent civilians in order to secure access to oil reserves. Oil that it is then going to use to pollute and kill the Earth. The world is scared, Bush is the real dictator. How can such an advanced country be sooooo stupid?????

4 The U. S. needs to pull out of Afghanistan and Iraq and let the people there sort the issues out without the christian crusaders.
