Al-Qaeda keeps its date
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/845847.cms

DUBAI: Ayman al-Zawahri, the number two figure in al-Qaeda, appeared on a new videotape aired on Al Jazeera on Thursday, ridiculing US forces as stuck in a quagmire in Iraq and Afghanistan.

"In both countries, if they continue they will bleed to death and if they withdraw they lose everything," said Zawahri, the right-hand man of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

"East and south Afghanistan have become an open arena for the Mujahideen (jihad fighters). The enemy are limited to their capitals," the Egyptian-born Zawahri said.

"The Americans are hiding in their trenches and refuse to come out to face the Mujahideen, as the Mujahideen shell and fire on them, and cut roads off around them. Their defence is only to bomb by air, wasting US money as they kick up dust."

If Bush were to be 1/10 as smart as Osama, he'd have to be twice as smart!

The chimp has exposed the limits of the superpower. There is no more money, no more soldiers and hardly any political will to fight another war let alone win it.

6. We sure do. Send them to bleed to death and kill innocents.
They don't even know who the enemy is. They can't speak the language, they are not in their own country, and they are not fighting with moral authority. It's Viet Nam all over again. Only this time, the enemy will not be the docile victor that the Vietnamese were. this enemy is going to hound us for the rest of our lives.

3. Capturing Osama would be as devastating to the military budget.....
...as the dismantling of the Berlin wall was.
