New Al Qaeda Tape From Ayman al-Zawahri

Via AP:

Al-Qaida No. 2 Ayman al-Zawahri condemned President Bush in a video statement released Friday, calling him a failure and a liar. “Why don’t you tell them how many million citizens of America and its allies you intend to kill in search of the imaginary victory and in breathless pursuit of the mirage towards which you are driving your people’s sons in order increase your profits?” al-Zawahri said in a portion of the video released by the Virginia-based IntelCenter.

It said the message was titled “Bush, the Pope, Darfur and the Crusades.”

Sounds like he’s stealing Democratic talking points again. So, once again is the number two man who speaks. Does this add to suspicions of last weekend’s rumor of Osama’s death by typhoid?

My Pet Jawa offers a partial translated transcript. Here is a bit of it.

The murderer and spiller of Muslim Blood , Bush, has stated that he has secret prisons in which he holds dangerous leaders of the group Qaida al-Jihad. Including the Mujahid brother Khalid al-Shaykh Muhammad (may allah free him). (and) He has stated tjhat during the three years after Khalid al-Shaykh Muhammad’s arrest the interrogators have been able to get from Khalid al-Shaykh Muhammad valuable information which helped the Crusaders to kill and arrest a number of leaders of al-Qaida.

But I ask this lying Failure who are the leaders of al-Qaida who’s killing or capture was facilitated by the information extracted from Khalid al-Shaykh Muhammad? And I say to him you are a lying failure. What is the extent of your losses? After the capture of Khalid al-Shaykh Muhammad(may Allah free him).

Bush – you deceitful charlatan! Three and a half years have passed since your capture of brother Khalid al-Shaykh Muhammad. So how have you found us during this time? Losing and surrendering? Or, by the grace of Allah, attacking, seeking martyrdom, advancing and injuring you on a daily basis, with Allah’s help.

The Strikes of the Mujahideen have deprived you the pleasure of quenching your thirst for revenge with the capture of our champions those who repeat what Abu Firaas said. I have been captured but my friends are not defenseless in war. Nor is my horse a foal or it’s master unskilled. But, if the elimination of a man is decreed, then neither earth nor sea can save him.
