AL-QAIDA IN IRAQ CLAIMS IT'S WINNING WAR

Where would they get that crazy idea?

AP reports: Al-Qaida in Iraq claimed in a new audio tape Friday to be winning the war faster than expected in Iraq and said it had mobilized 12,000 fighters who had “vowed to die for God’s sake.”

On the audio tape made available on militant Web sites, the al-Qaida in Iraq leader also welcomed the Republican electoral defeat that led to the departure of Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld. He added that the group’s fighters would not rest until they had blown up the White House.
. . .

“We will not rest from our Jihad until we are under the olive trees of Rumieh and we have blown up the filthiest house — which is called the White House,” al-Muhajir said. It was not clear what Rumieh was referring to.
. . .

“The American people have put their feet on the right path by … realizing their president’s betrayal in supporting
Israel,”
the terror leader said. “So they voted for something reasonable in the last elections.”

Describing President Bush as “the most stupid president” in U.S. history, al-Masri reached out to the Muslim world and said his group was winning the war in Iraq faster than expected due to U.S. policies.

DNC Chairman Howard Dean, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Michael Moore, all concurred with al-Muhajir sentiments, which echoes their own oft-repeated remarks about the President and the war.
