I've Been Thinking:

The new video of Dr. Ayman al Zawahiri, Osama's # 2, is very telling.
Unfortunately, his message has been missed or dismissed by most of the West.
That's more than a shame. This video is a blueprint of future al Qaeda plans.

Dr. Ayman al Zawahiri spoke of 4 essential objectives:
# 1: To remove corrupt non-Muslim leaders in Arab lands.
Specifically, he identified Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.
# 2: To remove Crusader Forces from Arab lands.
Those are Christians, primarily the United States. That means Iraq. He refers to countries run by the US Embassies there. That means Jordan.
# 3: Not to be seduced by the ideas of democracy or by government reform.
Change happens only through violent Jihad, peaceful protests achieve nothing.
# 4: To convince Hamas to change their current policy and break the ceasefire with Israel. Israel must be defeated.

Pay attention. Al Qaeda hates Muslims more than we think.
Al Qaeda hates the US more than Israel.
Al Qaeda believes that the only true response is violence.
