Dubai, November 19:: Al-Qaeda No. 2 Ayman Zawahiri warned US President-elect Barack Obama against sending more troops to Afghanistan, in an Internet audio message released on Wednesday.

"What you have announced before that you will withdraw US troops from Iraq and send them to Afghanistan is a policy that is doomed to failure," Zawahiri said in the message made available by the SITE Intelligence Group.

"If you still want to be stubborn about America's failure in Afghanistan, then remember the fate of US President George W Bush and Pakistan's former President Pervez Musharraf, and the fate of the Soviets and British before them," he added.

In a major interview aired on Sunday, Obama vowed no retreat from his campaign promise to begin pulling troops out of Iraq and switch the military focus to Afghanistan.

Better India Keeps off American Involvement in Afghan by sabtukalilima on 2008-11-20 06:21:34.822568+05:30
No matter who sits as the namkevaste Emperor of the American Empire, he must toe the line or ready to be pushed over by the Zionist corporations, because the American Emperor is a powerless slave to the Zionists and their associates. America needs an external enemy all the time either a created enemy like Al-Qaeda or a real one like the former communist regimes. America has about 700 military bases in over 100 countries, why the hell they have that many, because they got to bully the world, they look for soft targets to keep up the momentum, right now a poor third world country to be victimized is Afghanistan and unfortunately but immorally India is secretly helping Americans to try to fulfill their vicious desire in Afghanistan. Afghans may be poor, but in them we have one of the best fighting forces in the world, and the American-Zionist-Indian conspiracy in Afghanistan is sure to fail and will lead to humiliation as the brutal Russians had about 20 years ago.
