Al-Qaeda gloats over mid-terms and taunts Bush
"We will not rest from our jihad until ... we have blown up the filthiest house -- which is called the White House" - al-Muhajir (Abu Ayyub al-Masri)

THE WASHINGTON TIMES: BAGHDAD -- The head of al Qaeda's Iraq operations yesterday gloated in a new audio tape over the resignation of Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and praised U.S. voters for punishing President Bush and the Republicans in Tuesday's midterm elections.

Abu Hamza al-Muhajir, in the first public statement by a senior al Qaeda figure since the vote, said in an Internet-posted recording that his group now had 22,000 armed fighters and reserves in Iraq and taunted Mr. Bush not to copy Mr. Rumsfeld and "flee the battlefield."

Al-Muhajir, also known as Abu Ayyub al-Masri, urged the United States to stay in Iraq so his group would have more opportunities to kill American troops. Al Qaeda gloats over U.S. election by Christopher Bodeen

Oh, isn't that just wonderful! AQ is praising American voters for casting a ballot for their own demise.

Well unfortunately, Always, American voters have played into Al-Qaeda's hands. It's all very sad, really.

It seems to me that neither the US nor the UK have gone in there with the objective of winning. They have been too gentle. When you fight, you fight to win, or else you leave it alone.

Have returned from extensive internet connection problems...

And the Americans had the nerve to accuse other nations of cowardice in the face of the enemy!

It's a disgrace. And now we can look forward to the global disaster of a Hillary Rodham Clinton presidency!

And just wait til Gordon Brown gets his pudgy fingers on the keys to Number Ten...

BTW: lots of my leaflets promoting your site and others have been "left" on buses, trains and other suitable places. Hope they do some good!
