DEMS DENY IT?

I'm waiting...it's been twenty four hours, so far...to see the U.S. Democrat Party officially reject the Al-Quaeda's explicit statement that it was they who are responsible for the recent electoral results. We've heard all the U.S. postmortem blather, but now Ayman al Zawahiri weighs in with the REAL answer.

Al Qaeda has sent a message to leaders of the Democratic party that credit for the defeat of congressional Republicans belongs to the terrorists.

In a portion of the tape from al Qaeda No. 2 man, Ayman al Zawahri, made available only today, Zawahri says he has two messages for American Democrats.

"The first is that you aren't the ones who won the midterm elections, nor are the Republicans the ones who lost. Rather, the Mujahideen -- the Muslim Ummah's vanguard in Afghanistan and Iraq -- are the ones who won, and the American forces and their Crusader allies are the ones who lost," Zawahri said, according to a full transcript obtained by ABC News.

It'd be real nice, even reassuring, if the Dems had fallen all over themselves, yelling "NO, WE'RE AMERICANS. WE WON'T DEAL WITH YOU SCUM UNDER ANY CONDITION."

Maybe now that the Blogs are covering the statement, and their lack of response, they'll blame the bloggers and then deny it.

See a wetted finger in the wind before they comment. "Which way is it blowing? What will Iran think? Who's side are they on anyway? Shia? Sunni? I forgot. O never mind."

Another blogger said it this way:

I wonder how it feels to be a recently elected Democrat, knowing that your electoral success is perceived by al Qaeda to be their handiwork? And I assume that this message was intended for the newly empowered Democrats as well:

In an audiotape posted on Islamic Web sites Friday, a speaker identified as Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Mujahideen Shura Council, said that if U.S. forces begin withdrawing from Iraq immediately and leave their heavy weaponry behind, "we will allow your withdrawal to complete without anyone targeting you with any explosive or anything else."

"We say to Bush not to waste this historic opportunity that will guarantee you a safe withdrawal," al-Baghdadi said on the audiotape.

The United States was given two weeks to respond to the offer.

The Mujahideen Shura Council is an umbrella group formed in late 2005 that includes several terrorist and insurgent groups, including al Qaeda in Iraq.

There is simply no escaping it: al Qaeda is in Iraq, and the recent elections in America (and the recent ISG report) have them feeling downright giddy.
