DUBAI (Reuters) - Al Qaeda's deputy leader said in a videotape broadcast on Sunday that governments could not stop al Qaeda attacks and that the security of the West depended on respect for Islam and an end to aggression against Muslims.

Ayman al-Zawahri also said in the tape broadcast by Arab satellite television Al Jazeera that the "new crusader campaign" would end in defeat as other had in the past.

Whatever...

Update:
CAIRO, Egypt — Al-Jazeera television aired a videotape Sunday purporting to show Al Qaeda No. 2 Ayman al-Zawahri denouncing U.S. calls for reform in the region and urging the West to respect the Islamic world.

Al-Zawahri, who appeared sitting on the ground and in front of a brown background, said the U.S. military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, "explains the truth about reforms and democracy that America is allegedly trying to impose in our countries."

"Reform is based on American detention camps like Bagram, Kandahar, Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib, it will be based on cluster bombs and imposition of people like Karzai and Allawi," he said, referring to Afghan President Hamid Karzai and Interim Iraqi Prime Minister Ayad Allawi.

"Real security is based on mutual cooperation with the Islamic nation on the basis of mutual respect and the stopping of aggression."

Join the world Asshat and see what happens. Stop killing people that have nothing to do with what you think is oppressing you and maybe you will get what you want. You won't be able to control people, but you may be able to live.

Update: Continuing the theme of big bloggers being hours behind me (scroll down), OTB gets this story about 2 hours after me. Heh. Let's see how long it is until they get the two stories above this one.
