"The deputy leader of al-Qaida criticized both sides of the Palestinian power struggle in a video aired Wednesday, calling the Palestinian president "America's man" but also lashing out at the Islamic group Hamas."
"Al-Zawahri also told the United States on Wednesday that it was negotiating with the wrong people in Iraq."
"I want to tell the Republicans and the Democrats together ... you are trying to negotiate with some parties to secure your withdrawal, but these parities won't find you an exit (from Iraq) and your attempts will yield nothing but failure," al-Zawahri said on the tape, sections of which were aired in successive news bulletins."
Maybe we are talking to the wrong people because we are not making any forward progress in Irag since the fall of Bagdad. It is obvious that other measures must be taken and maybe this suggestion from Al-Zawhri has a small point....
