Purported leader says in speech troops can leave without being attacked
The Associated Press Dec 22, 2006
CAIRO, Egypt - The purported leader of al-Qaida-linked insurgents in Iraq offered a one-month truce for U.S. troops to withdraw from the country without being attacked, according to a speech posted on an Islamic Web site Friday.
The leader of the Islamic State of Iraq, Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, said his fighters were now launching a new offensive, “the offensive of the strong.” He said the offensive would last until the final day of the Muslim feast of Eid al-Adha, which should finish about Jan. 3.

Addressing the United States, al-Baghdadi said: “We are announcing today our orders for you, so obey them before you regret it.
“We order you to withdraw your troops immediately, using troop carriers and aircraft, and taking only your personal weapons. Don’t withdraw any heavy weapons. Instead you should hand over those and your military bases to the holy warriors of the Islamic State,” he said.
He said the withdrawal period should not exceed one month, and during that time “we will allow your withdrawal to proceed without being attacked by explosives or any other form.”
Washington had two weeks to respond to the truce offer, he said.
Calls Bush 'a liar'
Al-Baghdadi referred to a warning by President Bush in an October speech that militants aim to establish an Islamic state from east Asia to Spain. “He spoke the truth, although he is a liar,” he said of Bush.
Al-Baghdadi claimed that Washington tried to open a channel of negotiation with his group through the Saudi government, but said he had rejected the initiative.
“The giant has started to fall. It is looking for an escape and seeking to negotiate with all the other groups and parties,” al-Baghdadi said.

| Quote: | Al Qaeda Sends a Message to Democrats
ABC News 12/22/2006 The Blotter
Brian Ross and Hoda Osman Report:
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.
Zawahri calls on the Democrats to negotiate with him and Osama bin Laden, not others in the Islamic world who Zawahri says cannot help.
"And if you don't refrain from the foolish American policy of backing Israel, occupying the lands of Islam and stealing the treasures of the Muslims, then await the same fate," he said.

open invitation by terrorists to the Dems, wonder if Zawahri has a preference on who the Dems should send to 'negotiate'

The enemy thinks that the recent elections with the Democrats taking control of both houses of congress have cut the legs out from under G.W.
I hope they have a big surprise coming.
Anyone read Nelson DeMille's book...Wildfire? Good one.
