Harry Belafonte’s latest press release:
Al-Qaida’s deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahri called U.S. President George W. Bush a “butcher” and a “failure” in a videotape aired on Arab television Monday, his first appearance since an American airstrike that targeted him this month in Pakistan.
Al-Zawahri, shown in the video wearing white robes and a white turban, said the Jan. 13 airstrike killed “innocents” and said the United States had ignored an offer from al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden for a truce.
“Butcher of Washington, you are not only defeated and a liar, but also a failure. You are a curse on your own nation,” he said, referring to Bush. “Bush, do you know where I am? I am among the Muslim masses.”
The airstrike hit a building in the eastern Pakistan village of Damadola, killing four al-Qaida leaders. Thirteen villagers were also killed in the strike, angering many Pakistanis.
Woops, I meant al-Zawahri…what was I thinking.
Funny how the man who hides behind Women and Children even dares to call Bush names but you have to hand it to him, he can come up with some amusing names.? “Butcher of Washington”….nice.
