From The Blotter:
A new al Qaeda communique featuring Al-Qaeda's number-two man was released on the internet Friday morning.
References to last month's peace conference in Annapolis indicate the recording is recent. The message, in Arabic, has not yet been fully translated, but early analysis indicates it contains fulminations about Mideast leaders' positions expressed at the late November event.
Experts have authenticated the tape and confirmed the voice belongs to Zawahiri. It was released by As Sahab, the terror group's propaganda operation.
The recording – audio over a still photomontage showing images of Zawahiri, Bush and Middle Eastern leaders – is 20 minutes, two seconds long.
Al Zawahiri was last featured on an As Sahab release in early November, in an audio statement with an al Qaeda field commander. In September, al Qaeda released a videotape of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

In a way he's right. The Middle East is cowing to the US. Now with Iran and the Saudis meeting each other and with the Iran visit to Iraq maybe things will change. The US is like evil in the middle as the Middle East trying to join together for peace in comes Satan's workers Bush/Cheney to divide the people again.
The Saudis are never stupid. They see an attack on Iran as destablizing everything in the area worse than it already is.
I saw an article that Mohammad Khatami might try to come back as president. When he was president, there were many, many improvements in Iran and their economy improved, too.
