Zawahiri claims the Arab Spring is a by-product of jihad against the United States.
Egypt Independent reported:

The brother of Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri has said that recent Arab revolts would not have seen successful had not it been for pressure by Salafi jihadists who fought against the US and brought war to its soil through the September 11 attacks.

“We are bound by Islamic Sharia, we do not kill without a cause,” Mohamed al-Zawahiri told Al Jazeera Mubasher Misr late Tuesday, in his first TV interview. He noted that the attack on New York’s World Trade Center in September 2001 put the United States under pressure, because it led to the death of the FBI chief and forced the country to recant its support for a number of despotic Arab leaders.

Zawahiri admitted Al-Qaeda’s failure to reach Israel due to Arab rulers.

“If we have the chance we will hit it (Israel),” he said. He also denied the presence of any jihadist elements in Sinai.

He revealed that jihadists are continuously reviewing their doctrines, and that one former leader of the dissolved State Security Investigation Services had threatened to kill him if he would not accept security reviews of their ideas.

    Exclusive: Obama authorizes secret U.S. support for Syrian rebels
    By Mark Hosenball
    WASHINGTON | Wed Aug 1, 2012 5:58pm EDT

    (Reuters) – President Barack Obama has signed a secret order authorizing U.S. support for rebels seeking to depose Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his government, U.S. sources familiar with the matter said.

    Obama’s order, approved earlier this year and known as an intelligence “finding,” broadly permits the CIA and other U.S. agencies to provide support that could help the rebels oust Assad.

    This and other developments signal a shift toward growing, albeit still circumscribed, support for Assad’s armed opponents…

  2. Oh, oh, trouble coming,

    A big beard and a big belly,

    means

    a muzzie is on the way,

  3. I reach out to my Muslim bothers in arms and ask that they send me $30.00 before midnight. My campaign is going broke.

    I know that the US banking laws prohibit this type of transaction but maybe it could be routed through the Muslim Brotherhood. I am sure Eric Holder can help.

    Let me be clear, I cannot spend precious time answering questions about Zawahiri because I have a campaign to run. I can’t waste my time on keeping Americans safe because I am too busy fund rising! My campaign comes first!

    Sure, some of my donors are American Jews – so what? If I don’t concentrate on keeping my job who will? My fund raisers come first! Screw the Jews!

    My campaign bus is sucking air and David Axelrod has a new scam for my Jewish donors. Its a variation of the Taqiyya scam. It allows me to lie to the Jews while taking their money. It’s perfectly legal and its in the law. And, if I have to milk George Soros for every dollar he has to keep my job I will! The Jews always vote for me. I say screw them! I cannot answer any more questions. Good day.

  4. Re #1 — and check out who has joined those rebels…

    Al Qaida types and Muslim Brotherhood…please find article yourself, twice now my computer has shut down trying to bring link here –

    But Barry most likely realizes his pals – the MB in particular – need our help.

  5. Well there you have it straight from top command control. Obama and his ” Arab spring ” are working directly in favor of Islamic fundamentalist Jihad terror movements in complete opposition to traditional American interests around the world for free and tolerant societies. Soon Obama will make the blind Shiek a free man.

  6. Note to Obie: Can’t get Zawahiri? His brother’s accessible, it would seem…

  7. Dirka Dirka. Mohammed Jihad.

  8. The Fascist in the White House and his like-minded Sec of State side with the fascists in Syria, who want to kill the Christians and burn the churches, since they plan to come to America to do the same.

    Michelle Bachmann wasn’t whistling in the wind.

    Reuters has the story about Barack Hussein Obama’s efforts to make an Islamic Fascist Caliphate a reality:
