al- Zawarhi Reaches Out to Democrats

I'll consider this his rebuttal to the State of the Union address. No word on how many times he blinked per minute.

Al Qaeda second-in-command Ayman al-Zawahri warned Americans of a reprisal "far worse than anything they have seen" unless Washington changed its policies toward Muslim states.

"You are facing the Islamic rage...what awaits you, should you press on (with current policies), is far worse than anything you have seen," Zawahri said in a video posted on the Internet on Wednesday.

Leaders of al Qaeda, which carried out the September 11, 2001 attacks in U.S. cities, argue that "terrorism" is justified as a way to change pro-Israel U.S. policies and to punish Washington for its wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

"I will talk to you in a language you understand; if you want to live safely you have to accept reality and reject the illusions that (U.S. President George W.) Bush is trying to deceive you with," he said in the video.

"If we are struck and killed then, God willing, you would most certainly be struck and killed."

Zawahri said Americans should study "faiths and history as they really are and not as portrayed by the clowns of Bush."

Here's a maniac willing to kill any and all Americans, and the pathetic thing is, there are plenty of people in this country more than willing to listen to him and who consider George Bush the enemy.
