Well, for anyone who though maybe Al Qaida would let up once Obama got into office ... think again. They'll take any opportunity to blame any U.S. leader to continue terror attacks on the U.S.

That most likely means if Al Qaida is blaming Obama then so will Iran and so will leaders in Afghanistan. Look, we all [should] know that Iran has been training terrorists for years and supplying Hamas with money and equipment. You know Iran's leadership has to be sympathetic toward any organization against the U.S. and its allies. I wonder if any diplomacy with Ahdaminejhad (sp) or any Afghan leaders will be effective now.

WOW! I had not seen this anywhere else.

I am a Republican and I am no fan of Obama's but I don't think that anyone can blame Obama for the current situation in Gaza! Give the man a break, he hasn't taken office yet.

I think that the Zawahiri statement just shows that he has little understanding of the American political process. He probably does not realize that there is a transition period to allow the new guy to get his team together.

On the other hand he may be trying to play America's political divisions against us. If so, it's a very poor attempt.

Absolutely. Also no fan of Obama, but for all those who wanted to elevate him to "president of the world", etc. and hoped he would somehow make all our enemies like us again, your hopes are dashed - even before Obama takes the oath of office.
