It's amazing to see the extent to which Bush supporters are able to stick their fingers in their ears, close their eyes, and scream, "LALALALALALALA!"

So you're saying we should believe him? :rolleyes: Al-Qaeda & Co. deserve about 2 seconds of our attention when they put out tapes like this. They've been claiming the infidels and Zionists are about 30 seconds away from defeat for a long time now.

The only thing incriminating not from the mouths of Al-Qaeda would be this part, unless I'm missing something :
According to senior U.S. intelligence sources, groups of about 600 to 800 Taliban or al Qaeda fighters are able to roam in parts of Afghanistan, primarily in the south and east.

The southeastern portion of Afghanistan is controlled mostly by Pashtun tribes and poses one of the greatest security threats to U.S. forces in the country.


Most people already know that tribal warlords are a problem and that parts of the country in anarchy, even US intelligence sources do.

Do not go over Start. Do not get resources for free.
Next up, Iraq. Just wait until their puppet "President" has been assassinated ;)

You believe him? This is nothing more than pro terrorist propaganda. Al Qaeda is not getting Afghan. back. We in the US military are not yeilding a single inch of soil to them.

Who is this Al-Zawahiri that I, an member of the US military, should be afraid of him? Seems to me, Al-Zawahiri is nothing but a little man speaking great big words with nothing to back them.
I fear no one, if he wants a peice of me, I say bring it on.

He looks like crap. Must be the easy life he is living since our guys are hidden away. :rolleyes:

When gadging the area; it's probably best to listent to the shrubs version, then his and move it towards the middle.

Things are not good there. But, they are not what al-zaw says either.

There are glimmers of what might be as paved roads are getting built, etc....

That is why the US needs 150,000 troops in Iraq?

Someone once told me some very important words:

"be careful what you wish for, you just might get it"

You can't find him but maybe he can find you?

I'm pissed about this; I had an interview slated with Ridge tomorrow, and now, he's not coming to my university because he has to be in Washington. Stupid terrorists. :headbang:

He's going to be here at my University tomorrow to accept the 150th Anniversary Medallion of Honor tomorrow at 9:00 AM. Was supposed to be today but he was unable to make it today but will tomorrow. :)

To bad I have a 9:00AM Class tomorrow so I won't be able to see him :(

Do any of your rememeber Baghdad Bob?

Ya know "The Infedel is being massacred at the gates. The All mighty Allah has protected Iraq, and the Americans are feeling the wrath of a thousand burning suns, blah blah blah blah."


And then the next day we took Baghdad?


Yeah, c'mon now. I know people out there are stupid. But stupid enough to believe what the enemy says? Damn.

Doesn't anyone wonder why that big steaming pile of number 2 is the one on the tape, instead of Bin Laden?

By nodding along in agreement with al-Zawahiri's and bin Laden's fanatical rhetoric and predications of American failure while mocking Western leaders who stand firm against terrorism, leftists reveal their true colors.

Hi Michael! :)

Duh! Because Bush already has Bin Laden, locked away at Area 51 where he tends to our Alien Hybrids, that feed off of the hearts of hapless Middle Eastern Children that we ruthlessly blow up with our helicopter Gunships, because thats what Americans like to do.

He'll parade Bin Laden out a few weeks before the election, so he'll win in a landslide.



I mean, isn't it obvious? :rolleyes:

Guess what, he fears no one either.. I've listened to the whole tape in Arabic, and his message is basically: "We don't fear the Americans, if they want a piece of us, bring it on.."

Ironic.. isn't it? http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/images/icons/icon10.gif

It's just a matter of time.... just a matter of time.... you'll lose not only Afghanistan, but also Iraq..

Really? I thought the attitude that lead to 9/11 was not caring what terrorists did to US targets and allowing multiple acts of terrorism against the US go unanswered.
