In this one, the Egyptian physician takes aim at the Pope and the President: New Message from Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri Advertised Discussing Bush, the Pope and Vatican, Darfur, and the Crusader War.
As-Sahab, al-Qaeda’s multimedia production arm, issued today, Friday, September 29, 2006, a 17:51 minute video speech featuring Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri and titled: “Bush, the Pope of the Vatican, Darfur, and the Crusader Wars”. He appears in two scenes: one, subtitled in English, with an office-setup background with a lamp, flag bearing “No God, but Allah”, and a cannon; the other is without a background, and depicts Zawahiri dressed entirely in white, without subtitles.
To U.S. President George W. Bush, Zawahiri questions: “why don’t you tell them how many million citizens of America and it’s allies you intend to kill in search of the imaginary victory and in breathless pursuit of the mirage towards which you are driving your people’s sons in order to increase your profits?” He also addresses the capture of Khalid Shaikh Muhammad and questions that if it helped in the “war on terror” then “why are your troops retreating in secrete from the south and east of Afghanistan?… Bush…be aware that the liberation of our captives is a debt on our shoulders which we must fulfill”.

Quotes from Fox News: “Bush, you are a lying failure and a charlatan. It’s been three and a half years since the arrest - what happened to us? We have gained more strength and we are more insistent on martyrdom.”

Allahpundit has a clip from the video with subtitles, and yes, parts are nearly indistinguishable from Democrat/moonbat talking points.
