Today's tape from Al Qaeda makes it evident that the U.S. is fighting Al Qaeda in Iraq:
Abu Hamza al-Muhajir, also known as Abu Ayyub al-Masri, said in the recording posted on the Internet on Friday that the group had 12,000 armed fighters and 10,000 others waiting to be equipped to fight U.S. troops in Iraq.
"I tell the lame duck (U.S. administration) do not rush to escape as did your defense minister...stay on the battle ground," he said.
He said his group would not rest until it had blown up the presidential mansion in Washington.
"I swear by God we shall not rest from jihad until we...blow up the filthiest house known as the White House," the voice on the recording said.
The Dems agree that Al Qaeda is a legitimate target for the U.S. If they were to pull out of Iraq, they would be seen as betraying their own goals in the war on terror.
