Purported message from Al Qaeda's deputy leader insults Obama

[Jenna]

A purported message from al Qaeda's deputy leader posted on Islamist Web sites on Wednesday told President-elect Barack Obama that "a heavy legacy of failure and crimes awaits you."

Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri threatened President-elect Barack Obama in an Internet message.

In the video, Ayman al-Zawahiri, al Qaeda's No. 2, castigated Obama's foreign policy stances on Afghanistan and Israel and ridiculed the president-elect's worldview. Al-Zawahiri compared Obama unfavorably to the late Malcolm X, an African-American militant who adopted Islam.

Al-Zawahiri and Osama bin Laden are believed to be hiding in the tribal areas of Pakistan.

Al-Zawahiri can be heard saying, "In you and in Colin Powell, [Condoleezza] Rice and your likes, the words of Malcolm X (may Allah have mercy on him) concerning 'house Negroes' are confirmed."

"House Negroes" is the English translation of the Arabic term "house slaves."

The posting, which appeared on the Web on Wednesday, includes videos from Malcolm X speeches.

It shows a still image of Malcolm X on a Muslim prayer rug in a mosque; then images of Obama, wearing a Jewish skullcap, at the Western Wall in Jerusalem, and video of al-Zawahiri. It is entitled, "The departure of Bush and the arrival of Obama."

The audio message is more than 11 minutes long. CNN has not been able to confirm its authenticity.

"You have reached the position of president, and a heavy legacy of failure and crimes awaits you. A failure in Iraq to which you have admitted, and a failure in Afghanistan to which the commanders of your army have admitted," the message said.

The speaker also said Obama's stance of pulling troops from Iraq and sending them to Afghanistan "is a policy which was destined for failure before it was born."

"If you still want to be stubborn about America's failure in Afghanistan, then remember the fate of Bush and Pervez Musharraf, and the fate of the Soviets and British before them," the message said. "And be aware that the dogs of Afghanistan have found the flesh of your soldiers to be delicious, so send thousands after thousands to them."

The message said Obama appears "to be captive to the same criminal American mentality towards the world and towards the Muslims." The speaker cited Muslims' ire toward Obama's support of Israel.

The message said Obama represents the "direct opposite of honorable black Americans" like Malcolm X.

The message also made reference to Obama's Muslim father and his Christian religion.

"You were born to a Muslim father, but you chose to stand in the ranks of the enemies of the Muslims, and pray the prayer of the Jews, although you claim to be Christian, in order to climb the rungs of leadership in America.

"And so you promised to back Israel, and you threatened to strike the tribal regions in Pakistan, and to send thousands more troops to Afghanistan, in order for the crimes of the American crusade in it to continue," the message said.

Damn, and here I thought "the one" would bring immediate peace and a restored adoration for Americans throughout the world.

Al-Zawahiri can be heard saying, "In you and in Colin Powell, [Condoleezza] Rice and your likes, the words of Malcolm X (may Allah have mercy on him) concerning 'house Negroes' are confirmed."

Well, I suppose Ayman al-Zawahri has 'opened a dialogue' with Mr. Obama, rather than the other way around.

"You have reached the position of president, and a heavy legacy of failure and crimes awaits you. A failure in Iraq to which you have admitted, and a failure in Afghanistan to which the commanders of your army have admitted," the message said.

Did Obama actually say this? Why yes, Virginia, he certainly did. At least al Qaeda and Obama are admittedly in agreement here. There could be a dialogue after all, Obama and al Qaeda actually agree on one point, that America has failed. Unfortunately for them, facts do not support their opinions.

"If you still want to be stubborn about America's failure in Afghanistan, then remember the fate of Bush and Pervez Musharraf, and the fate of the Soviets and British before them," the message said. "And be aware that the dogs of Afghanistan have found the flesh of your soldiers to be delicious, so send thousands after thousands to them."

The Taliban has lost and estimated 165 insurgents for every 1 coalition soldier killed.
The 'dogs' are so well fed by terrorists, I doubt they've had an opportunity to sample Coalition fare...

"You were born to a Muslim father, but you chose to stand in the ranks of the enemies of the Muslims, and pray the prayer of the Jews, although you claim to be Christian, in order to climb the rungs of leadership in America.

Wow, even the terrorists realized this, yet Americans didn't?

And so it begins.

Yea, I thought he was going to do a group hug and then everything would be hunky dory.

[Five-0]

So is this one of the guys Obama is going to just speak with?

[Captain America]

A racial name against the all wise, all knowning leader of the Free World? Their in trouble now. I think we need to send Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and the NAACP over there to hunt them down for their evil comments against the Annoited One. They can take along a regiment of lawyers and file suits on them. Change is coming al Qaeda. What is wrong with you people. Don't you watch CNN?

Nah... he won't go. He's too busy awaiting his cabinet appointment.

Next thing you know they'll be singing Kumbaya.

[dadyswat]

I was going to rep CB on that one but I have to spread it around first.

[MacLean]

Got him for you.

I have it on good authority that the Afghan dogs like the Americans. The Afghans abuse and starve the dogs, the Americans feed them and accept them as pets. Before the Taliban start an attack all the dogs start howling and barking at them warning the Americans. Even their own dogs hate them.

What I'm curious about is where's the love? I thought that once we put an appeaser in office the world, including the Muslims would stop hating us. Methinks perhaps they hate us regardless except now we have a gutless wonder who will be running the show. Any bets on how long it takes for suicide bombers here after Jan 20?

[MacLean]

I wonder if the guy they got the other day with the Predator heard it coming before he was turned into dog food.

Whirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr BOOM

Jan. 21

Seriously, mid - June 2009, I expect some kind of attack.

I hate being a quibbler but it is Jan 20 at noon. http://inaugural.senate.gov/2009/

I agree with the time frame though, I expect a 9-11 anniversary hit at the very latest.

The short-sightedness of America is absolutely incredible...

The news is mortified that an al Qaeda leader calls Obama a 'house negro'... how offensive...

Have we forgotten that this is a murderous international terrorist organization responsible for the murders of thousands of innocents? Do you expect them to become 'humanized' with promises of dialogue and recognition? They are an enemy of the United States, (not to mention the rest of the free world).

I was offended in 1992 when they attempted to bomb US troops in Yemen. I was offended when they killed 6 innocents and injured 1042 others in the NY Trade Center bombing. I was offended when we learned of the Bojinka plot to blow up 12 American passenger aircraft simultaneously, and to assassinate Pope John Paul II, and the then-sitting US president, Clinton. I was offended when they bombed US embassies in East Africa in 1998. I was offended when they struck the U.S.S. Cole in 2000, killing 17 U.S. servicemen. I was really offended when they slaughtered 2974 people on September 11th, 2001.

Who gives a rat's ass who they call a 'house negro'? We have more than enough reason to kill them whenever, and where ever they are found.

Word is now that they are not equal oppertunity employers. No really, they pay arab members more on average than black/non arab members. All they have to do now is abuse some puppies and the liberals will really start frothing at the mouth. OOOOHHHH the humanity!!!

[Captain America]

It's simple : Appeasement to these people is a sign of weakness. Dialogue to these people is time to grow stronger. They are not interested in talking out differences. Their main stated and demonstrated time and again goal is to destroy all who were not born Muslim. Wake the fuck up to that fact or die.
