#1 Sadly, in a way he's right. Al Quaeda in Iraq blew up the Samarra mosque which lit off the higher intensity Iraqi in-fighting and pretty much stopped central Iraq progress, which made Joe Average American feel Iraq couldn't be helped. And AQI contributed to the steady death count of Americans, which made Joe American feel even trying to help Iraq wasn't worth the price. It's a clever and effective strategy to use against the US. It takes advantage of our impatience for progress, our compassion for even our enemies, and our internal politics/media in a kind of jiu jitsu fashion.

#2 Zawi's message all but officially affirms that the Dems = DemoLeft are de facto enemies of America - THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THEY ARE ALSO VIEWED AS INCOMPETENT OR OUTCLASSED in comparison to Radical Islam. As said times before, 9-11 > SYMBOLISM OF COLLAPSE OF TOWERS > BOTH THE US RIGHT + US LEFT, etal. ANY AND ALL ARE GONNA GO DOWN FOR THE COUNT, BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.. Once the US Right is destroyed, the US Left, etc, will follow; once the USA is destroyed the West = World will follow.

#3 Did any of the network news repeat Zawahiri's claim? I'd like to know since the networks have dutifully repeated every other AQ threat and boast.
