In an internet video, Al-Qaeda's Zawahri says that the U.S. is in so much financial despair because of the wars we've waged in the Middle East. Here's an excerpt from Reuters:
"The ones shouldering the burden are taxpayers, whose money was spent to rescue senior capitalists and to protect the fraudulent interest-based system from collapse," Zawahri said.
Asked by an off-camera interviewer whether Washington would be able to resolve the crisis, Zawahri said: "They might be able to lighten their losses if they were to stop the insane hemorrhaging of funds which they are spending on wars against Muslims."
Zawahri said U.S. military action against militant tribal forces in Pakistan, who are allied with al Qaeda, would fail despite more troops being sent by President George W. Bush to neighboring Afghanistan.
"I challenge you (Bush), if you are really a man, to send the entire American army to Pakistan and the tribal regions for it to end up in hell," Zawahri said on the video, which carried English subtitles."(END OF EXCERPT) Read the full article here:http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSTRE4AR1LZ20081128
