Why Zawahiri is Optimistic

"President Obama can forget all his ambitious plans to improve relations with the Muslim world. A new audiotape from al-Qaeda reportedly promises Bin Laden and Zawahiri followers victory in Afghanistan and Iraq, and that these wars will eventually lead to a battle to liberate Jerusalem. Zawahiri is optimistic because he knows Obama's plans coincidentally fit into al-Qaeda's.

Remember Obama's plans that went from refusing to call Islamist terrorists radicals all the way to the top of NASA's agenda? Millions of dollars were to be poured into programs. Well, he and his administration should brace for a deterioration in relations. Bin Laden and Zawahiri have figured it out. But I'm not sure Obama has. What's the development? The U.S. is making or about to make a mistake that pretty much nothing can fix for the next several decades."
