New Tape: Al Qaeda No. 2 Wants 200,000-300,000 U.S. Dead in Iraq
Ayman al-Zawahiri Says Al Qaeda Wants to Spill More U.S. Blood Before America Withdraws
By BRIAN ROSS

May 5, 2007 —

In a new video posted today on the Internet, al Qaeda's number two man, Ayman al Zawahiri, mocks the bill passed by Congress setting a timetable for the pullout of U.S. troops in Iraq.

"This bill will deprive us of the opportunity to destroy the American forces which we have caught in a historic trap," Zawahiri says in answer to a question posed to him an interviewer.

Continuing in the same tone, Zawahiri says, "We ask Allah that they only get out of it after losing 200,000 to 300,000 killed, in order that we give the spillers of blood in Washington and Europe an unforgettable lesson."

Based on the references to the bill, the tape, produced by al Qaeda's propaganda arm, as-Sahab, appears to have been made after Congress passed the legislation last week but before President Bush vetoed in on Thursday.

2. Bush will vow to outfox Zawahri, not to be dictated by Zawahri - Bush will send more troops.

3. Chris Wallace sez
Edited on Sun May-06-07 10:25 AM by Emit
al-Zawahiri sez bill (Congress bill setting a pullout timetable for U.S. troops from Iraq) is evidence of American failure -- repeated X 20 with guest, Pres. candidate Chris Dodd (D), as in: "But, Senator Dodd, al-Zawahiri sez bill is evidence of American failure, wahh, whah, nananabooboo, 111! ..."
