#1 Then he should be giving press conferences before accredited journalists, not sneaking out videotapes to al Jazeera.

#2 He made no mention of U.S. forces in Iraq, which are fighting an insurgency against the U.S.-backed government.

Holy shit.

#3 "The Americans are hiding in their trenches and refuse to come out to face the Mujahideen, as the Mujahideen shell them, fire on them and cut roads off around them," he said. "Their defense is only to bomb by air."

I'll take that any day. A few well place JDAMs can solve this problem. He must be aware of the new article about our troops calling them girlie men for not coming out to fight in this very region (also posted on RB).

Ayman al-Zawahri, the number two number one figure in al Qaeda, appeared in a new videotape aired on Al Jazeera on Thursday, ridiculing U.S. forces which he said were "hiding in their trenches" in Afghanistan.

#5 "...Zawahri, the right-hand man of Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, spoke to camera for several minutes in the videotape, wearing a white turban..."

Wait a minute. This guy used to always wear a black turban. Who does he think he is anyway?

Such are the fickle dictates of high fashion.

#7 All the fashionable jihadis know that white is the new black. Especially when the blackhats keeped getting whacked. Guess Zawahiri isn't too keen about being reunited with his family, who, courtesy of the USAF, preceded him into Hell during the bombing of Tora Bora.

#8 The enemy are limited to their capitals," he said.

Um...isn't that where all the people are? What's the mujahideen doing, defending rocks?

"refuse to come out to face the Mujahideen . . . their defense is only to bomb by air."

so this asswipe is claiming victory just because we won't fight the way he wants us to?!

I think his turban may be too tight.

#15  He made no mention of U.S. forces in Iraq, which are fighting an insurgency against the U.S.-backed government. -- That, trenches, a different colored turban... So did he die in Tora-Bora too?

#16 The big black fly showed up really nicely on the white turban.

maybe it was a coded message, fly at two o'clock.
