<strong>Al Qaida claims 'defeat' for US troops in Iraq</strong>
Baghdad, 18 April 2008 (Gulf News)

<p>Al Qaida has released a new audio recording saying that US troops in Iraq have failed.</p>

<p>The 16-minute message from Al Qaida deputy leader Ayman Al Zawahiri was posted on Thursday on several websites linked to militant Islamists.</p>

<p>"Where the American invasion stands now, after five years, is failure and defeat," Al Zawahiri said in the recording, the authenticity of which could not be immediately verified.<br />
</blockquote></p>

<p>Gee, glad he didn't <a href="http://smallwarsjournal.com/blog/2008/04/pentagon-study-current-events/"><strong>call it a debacle, too</strong></a>. That would have stung.</p>

<p>Hmmpf. The tape was as big a yawner over here <a href="http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/national_defens.html"><strong>as it was back home in kat-country</strong></a>.  </p>

<p>ZaWahabi would've gained a tad more cred if the tape hadn't sounded like it was recorded inside a sewer pipe...</p>]]>

Sewer pipe… Hey, you’re talking about Michael Moore’s Minuteman. You have heard the old saw: “One man’s terrorist is another man’s turd.” Or, something like that. 8 ^ )

Oh well, I never liked the guy anyway. Bill, if you get a chance will do us a favor and flush the old log away.

        Uhhh, yeah, right, I&apos;ll believe that one when I see it. We&apos;re there, until it&apos;s over. It ain&apos;t over until it&apos;s over. But we should not go to war unless, we DECLARE WAR, under absolutely no other circumstances. This is the Constitutional standard.

        Humpff how long before he is telling us &quot;There are no American infidels in Baghdad. Never!&quot;

The more they lose the more they make the most execrable bluffs.  So perhaps it is good news he brings.
