The Apologizer-in-Chief's Election Is a Victory for Al-Qaeda, Declares al-Zawahiri

Barack Obama's election as US president has failed to lift America's status in the Muslim and Arab world,

Ayman al-Zawahiri is quoted as saying (shookhran to Hervé),

and is a victory for Al-Qaeda.

Mentioning Vietnam, Ayman al-Zawahiri went on to confirm that he is a subscriber to the New York Times and that every day, he sits down to watch mainstream media broadcasts.

"Obama's victory is nothing more than the recognition by the American people that (former president George W.) Bush's policies had failed, and that the administration was lying when it claimed to have defeated the mujadeen (holy warriors)," al-Zawahiri says.
