Perhaps someone else can clarify-------seems he mocked the time frame for a pullout and wants to be able to kill more Americans before they pull out, giving the 200 to 300K no. Also, he is agreeing with Bush's position-----which puts him as supporting Bush and putting the blame on Bush and providing a way for the Dems to comeback on the Bush Administration. Of course, we know that is a bunch of bunk. In any case, he is attempting to have influence with his statements. "New Tape: Al Qaeda No. 2 Wants 200,000-300,000 U.S. Dead in Iraq Ayman al-Zawahiri Says Al Qaeda Wants to Spill More U.S. Blood Before America Withdraws By BRIAN ROSS May 5, 2007 — In a new video posted today on the Internet, al Qaeda's number two man, Ayman al Zawahiri, mocks the bill passed by Congress setting a timetable for the pullout of U.S. troops in Iraq. "This bill will deprive us of the opportunity to destroy the American forces which we have caught in a historic trap," Zawahiri says in answer to a question posed to him an interviewer. Continuing in the same tone, Zawahiri says, "We ask Allah that they 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." Based on the references to the bill, the tape, produced by al Qaeda's propaganda arm, as-Sahab, appears to have been made after Congress passed the legislation last week but before President Bush vetoed in on Thursday. According to Laura Mansfield, a counter terrorism analyst with Strategic Translations, an organization that monitors al Qaeda postings, the tape was posted on the Internet this morning and covers the usual range of Zawahri's topics including Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine."
