AL QAEDA: WE WANT THE U.S. TO STAY IN IRAQ [+] serious ballot by cranky ACTIVE Wed May 09, 07 - Mon Feb 01, 10 US is defeated in Iraq: Zawahiri May 6, 2007 Al-Qaeda's second-in-command Ayman al-Zawahiri said a US congressional bill calling for a troop withdrawal from Iraq was proof of Washington's defeat, according to a web video posted on Saturday. "This bill reflects American failure and frustration," Zawahiri said. "But this bill will deprive us of the opportunity to destroy the American forces which we have caught in a historic trap." A White House spokesman declined to comment on the video, which comes four days after US President George Bush vetoed a $US124 billion ($150 billion) congressional war-spending measure that would have required a troop pullout from Iraq to begin by October 1. "We ask Allah that they only get out after losing 200,000 to 300,000 killed, so that we give the blood spillers in Washington and Europe an unforgettable lesson to motivate them to review their entire doctrinal and moral system," Zawahiri said on the video, posted on websites used by Islamists. Zawahiri mocked Bush for saying that a US-backed security plan for Baghdad was showing signs of success. "The success is only for his pocket and Halliburton," he said, referring to the company once headed by Vice-President Dick Cheney.
