DUBAI (Reuters) - Al Qaeda's second-in-command told Muslims not to be fooled by U.S. President Barack Obama's policies which, he said on an Islamist website on Monday, are no different to those of his predecessor, George W. Bush.

"America came to us with a new face, with which it is trying to fool us. He is calling for change, but (he aims) to change us so that we abandon our religion and rights," Ayman al-Zawahri said in an audio recording on the website.

Zawahri said Obama's election was an acknowledgement that Bush's policy had failed.
"Obama did not change the image of America among Muslims...America is still killing Muslims," said the Egyptian militant leader.

Obama has vowed to continue fighting terrorism, and has promised a change in U.S. policies under Bush, who waged a war against terrorism after al Qaeda's 9/11 attacks in 2001.

2. is by saying...

... that the United States does not and will not negotiate with terrorists then yes they are similar

8. The US does not negotiate with terrorists?

What history books have you been reading?

Arms for hostages, arming central american death squads, the mujahadeen, the Northern Alliance... heck, the list of terrorist organizations we *haven't* negotiated with is probably shorter.

Here's a starting point: The Reagan administration, arming the Iranians (the same ones in power today), in order to fund central american groups that executed entire villages.

3. The Bush Family Evil Empire's partners want more wars to enrich

the already wealthy (like that crook).

4. Yet ANOTHER AQ #2. Aren't we now into the thousands (of #2s) calling for Jihad or killed/captured?

Just the ones that keep coming back from the dead should have been an indication that this is a "war" we can't win. Containment is looking better every day.

Forget being a cockroach in the next life, I wanna come back as a #2 and live for-friggin'-ever.

5. No, he has been #2 since the beginning. It is #3 that is the temporary spot
