#1 I don't think this letter is false in any way, but I wonder why we don't make up things like this. Then again, I am sure we are doing just those type of things - we're probably just a lot better at making it seem believable. The propaganda war is tough to win in this case with the other side much more ready to believe anyone else except us.

#2 Dan, if you're lurking, what's your take on this "message to Garcia" - Authentic or Psyop?

#3 This is good news. Will help split AQ cuase internal dissent. Besides the fact that Zawahiri is more PR and realistic sounding were as Zarqawi a good foot soldgier but a Zealot that believes his own hype and pursuit of that with a brutality that is rather phychotic. Personally I like Zark in charge he is emotional and that is a weakness we can play on. Our boys been doing a good job so far too.

#4 I'd be slipping out rumors that Bin laden's syphalis is acting up again. That he's alive, and can speak a paragraph or two but is generally bat-shit insane and may have led the entire movement to destruction but that Al Queda will continue to hide that fact (as was done with Arafat) for now.

That and a picture of Bin Laden or two with a carefully placed, subtle, bottle of wine nearby.

#7 is it really possible to slur Al-Qaeda? Buncha pussies and cowards who hide in women's clothes, partake of each other's bodies, kill and torture innocents and civilians....and their mothers were whores too.

#8 C'mon, Frank. There's no way their mothers were whores. No one that diseased and ugly could make a living walking the streets.

#10 Here - let me translate that for you:

Everything in the letter attributed to Ayman al-Zawahiri is false

"Shit! Caught again!"

get ready now, before you are overtaken by events, and before you are surprised by the conspiracy of the Americans and United Nations and their plans for filling the void when they leave

"I'm afraid we won't be able to depend on our supporters in Hollywood and the Democrats to force American forces to leave on our timetable."

Geez, this is incredibly easy. ;-p

#11 This letter is the work of the infidel Al Capone goverment. This Bush will soon feel our wrath.
