Al Qaeda No. 2: Democrats Marching Into 'Abyss'

(AP) CAIRO, Egypt Al Qaeda's No. 2, Ayman al-Zawahri, called for Muslim unity and said American elections that gave Democrats control of Congress would not change U.S. policy in Iraq, in a new audiotape released Tuesday by a U.S. group that tracks extremist messages.

On the tape, al-Zawahri said recent congressional elections in the United States that elected a majority of Democrats would change nothing.

"The people chose you due to your opposition to Bush's policy in Iraq, but it appears that you are marching with him to the same abyss," al-Zawahri told the Democrats according to the transcript.

Al-Zawahri called what he described as Bush' failure in Iraq and the growing Taliban resistance in Afghanistan the "most important events" of the past year. He also said that "the people cooperating with the United States in Afghanistan and in Iraq would be abandoned by the Americans once they fail, the same way they did in Vietnam."

I think these al-Qaeda folks will say and do ANYTHING to keep the U.S. bogged down in Iraq, just so long as it keeps our focus off of Pakistan and Afghanistan.
