Al Queda Letter to Zarqawi validates Bush Strategy, Reveals Left Defeatist Tactics

How many times have you heard some looney tune lefty claim that "Iraq has nothing to do with the war on terror?" Well, apparently chief bin Laden lieutenant, Ayman al-Zawahri, didn't get that memo. In this letter to master butcher Abu Musab al-Zarqawi (which you can read in it's nauseating entirety here) Zawahiri pretty much confirms every word that President Bush stated in his excellent strategic review of the war (speech excerpts here).

You will also notice parallels between what Zawahiri says and what is frequently cited as preferred policy by that great strategic thinker: Muther Sheehan.

Using the media, playing on the history of Vietnam and working to remove the United States from any defensive posture is the goal of both groups.

The consequences of what amounts to an unholy alliance (excellent treatise ) between the left and the Islamists would be the horrific deaths of millions of innocents and a new dark and evil age descending on the earth.

BREITBART.COM - Just The News: "'Things may develop faster than we imagine,' Ayman al-Zawahri wrote in a letter to his top deputy in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. 'The aftermath of the collapse of American power in Vietnam _ and how they ran and left their agents _ is noteworthy. ... We must be ready starting now.' ...

"It has always been my belief that the victory of Islam will never take place until a Muslim state is established ... in the heart of the Islamic world," al-Zawahri wrote.

The letter laid out his long-term plan: expel the Americans from Iraq, establish an Islamic authority and take the war to Iraq's secular neighbors, including Lebanon, Jordan and Syria.

The final stage, al-Zawahri wrote, would be a clash with Israel, which he said was established to challenge "any new Islamic entity."
...

"More than half of this battle is taking place in the battlefield of the media," he wrote. "We are in a media battle in a race for the hearts and minds of our umma," or community of Muslims, he wrote.
