Zawahiri

Rattled a little?

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.

2. Defensive, aren't they?

Not exactly the chest-thumping bluster they showed under the former "Chimp-in-Chief", eh.

10. Indeed

releasing tape after tape after tape about how they will eat Americans for breakfast.

Knowing you've become a pawn in the chess game can give you that uneasy feeling.

3. "President Barack Obama's policies... are no different to those of his predecessor, George W. Bush."

Hey, he sounds just like the anti-Obama trolls here!

4. Obama hurts their recruiting. When there's less hatred for the U.S., who do they recruit?

...

They need a "bogeyman" as much as the Bush administration did.

5. Sounds like Repub talking points with a few choice words changed. n/t

7. Of course

They knew Bush was a coward. He called off the dogs at Tora Bora. He needed his boogeyman to stay alive to be able to destroy Iraq.

8. To paraphrase: "Continue hating the US so our ranks will swell! Please? Pretty please?"

9. They are so desperate for an unpopular American President. Sorry, that guy is so gone.
