From AP:
Al-Zawahri, shown in the video wearing white robes and a white turban, said a Jan. 13 airstrike in the eastern village of Damadola killed "innocents," and he said the United States had ignored an offer from al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden for a truce.
"Butcher of Washington, you are not only defeated and a liar, but also a failure. You are a curse on your own nation and you have brought and will bring them only catastrophes and tragedies," he said, referring to Bush.
... "My second message is to the American people, who are drowning in illusions. I tell you that Bush and his gang are shedding your blood and wasting your money in frustrated adventures," he said, speaking in a forceful and angry voice.
Moore and the rest of the far Left have been accused of encouraging the enemy. The use of their arguments by Zawahri documents that this accusation has merit.
But some of Al-Zawahri's speech shows his racist, genocidal aims:
"The American planes raided in compliance with Musharraf the traitor and his security apparatus, the slave of the Crusaders and the Jews," he said, referring to Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf.
... "The lion of Islam, Sheik Osama bin Laden, may God protect him, offered you a decent exit from your dilemma. But your leaders, who are keen to accumulate wealth, insist on throwing you in battles and killing your souls in Iraq and Afghanistan and _ God willing _ on your own land."
Are Moore and Sheehan ashamed of having the same views as Zawahri, who wants to kill their countrymen?
#1
#2It's a good point, Frank. I agree with you, and I've posted previously about my opposition to the impeachment of Clinton.
At the same time, your link is to something from 2002, and references a statement about Clinton that has nothing to do with Al Qaeda. Moore, Sheehan, etc., directly oppose the efforts GWB is taking against Al Qaeda, and Al Qaeda welcomes their support and uses their arguments.
Are Conservatives proud when Osama bin Laden echoes their arguments? For instance, when he says:
"Who can forget your President Clinton's immoral acts committed in the official Oval Office? After that you did not even bring him to account, other than that he 'made a mistake', after which everything passed with no punishment. Is there a worse kind of event for which your name will go down in history and remembered by nations?"
Or, as I suspect, does your argument only apply when it's liberals who are being compared to terrorists?
