In New Video, Al Qaeda No. 2 Mocks Congress Bill, President Bush

CAIRO, Egypt — Al Qaeda's No. 2 mocked both U.S. President George W. Bush and the U.S. Congress bill setting a pullout timetable for U.S. troops from Iraq, in a new insurgent video obtained Saturday by a U.S.-based group.

In the video, Ayman al-Zawahiri — who acts as Usama bin Laden's deputy — is shown in a white Arab robe and white turban, seated before a bookshelf, the Washington-based SITE Institute said.

Al-Zawahiri speaks sarcastically of the U.S. troop pullout tying war funding to a withdrawal timetable, said SITE, which tracks terror messaging. The one hour seven minutes long video was dated May and had English subtitles.
"This bill will deprive us of the opportunity to destroy the American forces which we have caught in a historic trap," al-Zawahiri says, adding that the bill is evidence of American "failure and frustration."

"We ask Allah that they (U.S. troops) only get out of it after losing 200,000 to 300,000 killed, in order that we give the spillers of blood in Washington and Europe an unforgettable lesson," al-Zawahiri added.

He made no mention of Bush vetoing the bill last Thursday — an indication the video may have been made after Congress passed the legislation but before the veto.

Wordsmith has a much better post on this with a lot more commentary than "ASSHAT!"
