"Our message is clear -- what you saw in New York and Washington (in 2001) and what you are seeing in Afghanistan and Iraq, all these are nothing compared to what you will see next."
"To the British, I am telling you that Blair brought you destruction in the middle of London and more will come, God willing," he said.
Well, Dr. Z, too bad you guys will be hit WORSE when you try your next attack. I imagine if you tried to pull a Beslan here, or attack our subways, or do more kamikaze dives with loaded airliners, we won't be so restrained. Also, the British endured the Blitz, Napoleon, and other invaders. England will outlast you also, Doc.
Al-Zawahiri, a 54-year-old Egyptian doctor, is bin Laden's closest adviser. After the September 11, 2001 attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people, the U.S. State Department offered a $25 million award for information leading to al-Zawahiri's apprehension.
He also warned the United States to "stop stealing our oil and wealth and stop supporting corrupt rulers."
"If you continue your politics against Muslims, you will see, God willing, such horror that you will forget the horrors of Vietnam."
Vietnam? Well, if you keep it up, we'll do stuff that will make Dresden come to mind. More like Hiroshima and Nagasaki times 30.
Al-Zawahiri reminded the United States and its allies of the "hudna" (truce) that bin Laden offered last year in return for the withdrawal of foreign troops from Muslim lands.
"Didn't Osama bin Laden tell you that you would never dream of peace until we actually live it in Palestine and before all the infidel armies withdraw from the land of Mohammed?
We remember truces. Those are broken every other week in Palestine by Hamas. Also, we recall "peace in our time," as Hitler committed to. Within a year, war happened. We're not waiting for you to make a sham peace. Withdraw our troops, means: You withdraw your foreign troops so our foreign mercenaries can take over and rule with an iron fist (Afghanistan, and failing to do so in Iraq)
Bush was unswayed. "He's saying, you know, 'Leave,'" he told reporters at his ranch in Crawford, Texas, where he had just met Colombian President Alvaro Uribe.
The U.S. president described the ideology of al-Zawahiri and his adherents as "dark, dim, backwards. They don't appreciate women. If you don't agree to their narrow view of a religion, you'll be whipped in the public square." (Full story)
Their goal, he said, is to spread their point of view throughout the world, starting in the "broader Middle East. And part of their goal is to drive us out of the broader Middle East."
But Bush said the United States would not bend to the threats of al Qaeda or of al-Zawahiri.
"They're terrorists, they're killers and they will kill innocent people trying to get us to withdraw from the world so they can impose their dark vision on the world. That's what they're trying to do, and the comments today by Mr. Zawahiri absolutely reinforce what I have just told you. We will stay the course; we will complete the job in Iraq."
Bush said U.S. troops would return only "when those Iraqis are prepared to fight. As Iraq stands up, our coalition will stand down."
He said Iraqis want to live in a free society. "Zawahiri doesn't want them to live in a free society, and that's the clash of ideologies: freedom versus tyranny. We've had these kinds of clashes before, and we have prevailed. We have prevailed because we're right, we have prevailed because we adhere to a hopeful philosophy and we have prevailed because we would not falter."
Well said, Mr. President. Way to call him out. Wait, Bush is not alone...
Mr Blair denies his policies provoked the 7 July bombs, which killed 56.
But Mr Blair has said the Iraq war is merely an excuse for those who want to attack the UK.
He has acknowledged Iraq is being used to recruit terrorists, but insisted the roots of extremism were much deeper.
Bravo, Mr. Prime Minister.
Well, the splodeydopes are making rumblings again, now we just wait and do not blink.....
