I've Been Thinking:

Ayman Zawahiri, the number two man in al Qaeda, came out with a damning critique of President Elect Obama.
Zawahiri called Obama an abeed al beit.

What is an abeed al beit?
It is not, as the Western media and the al Qaeda video translated it to mean a "house negro."
It has a far more virulent and despicable tenor.
It is an Arabic term that smacks of slavery, a term that was used in the slave trade.
It means a "house slave."

The implications are so clear in the Arabic. Al Qaeda is implying that Barack Obama is not the kind of slave who worked the fields or with the cattle. He was more gentile and cultivated and would be used by the master in his house.
The implication is that Obama has a set of masters that direct him and control him and that own him.

We must understand, this critique of our president elect was not uttered for our ears, the audience for the tape was not DC or Chicago, it is the Muslim world.

Zawahiri is warning the Umah, the Muslims, not be excited and expect a change in Washington regarding the Muslim world.
Zawahiri is telling the Muslim world that the new president is a mere house slave, he is not the master of the house.
Zawahiri is saying the die is cast, so be it.
