Aljazeera just released a video of Dr. Ayman al Zawahiri, bin Laden's loyal sidekick, delivering a message taunting President Bush. Earlier this month, a CIA predator drone failed to assassinate al Zawahiri in a village near the Afghan-Pakistan border.
"My first message is to the butcher of Washington, Bush: You are not just defeated and lying about it, but you are, with God's help, a loser. You are bad luck to your people. You brought them disasters and catastrophes, and you will bring them even more disasters."

CNN left out this part of the message, which can be found in the English version of the Aljazeera website.
"Bush, do you know where I am? I am among the Muslim masses," he said.

I saw a clip of the video on CNN, and it looks as though this were filmed in a studio. The black background reminded me a lot of the Charlie Rose show. Zawahiri is definitely chilling at some safehouse with a mini studio.
So much for Bush trying to claim that we're winning the war on terror. I wonder if this tape will change tomorrow's speech?
