Al Qaeda To Democrats:

"All your victories are belong to us." Ayman al Zawahri, the big number two in al Qaeda, Told Democrats that their electoral victory was earned for them by the terrorists.

Al Qaeda has sent a message to leaders of the Democratic party that credit for the defeat of congressional Republicans belongs to the terrorists.

In a portion of the tape from al Qaeda No. 2 man, Ayman al Zawahri, made available only today, Zawahri says he has two messages for American Democrats.

"The first is that you aren't the ones who won the midterm elections, nor are the Republicans the ones who lost. Rather, the Mujahideen — the Muslim Ummah's vanguard in Afghanistan and Iraq — are the ones who won, and the American forces and their Crusader allies are the ones who lost," Zawahri said, according to a full transcript obtained by ABC News.

Gee, doesn't that give you a warm, fuzzy feeling just all over? Al Qaeda demands that the Democrats pay them back for the win by negotiating with them.

Incidentally, I agree with Ed Morrisey here. This is propaganda from al Qaeda. The Democrats did not court al Qaeda in the election. But it is also being perceived as a major victory for the islamists and Zawahri is trying to capitalize on that perception. That fact is very troubling. That our own media does not understand what they are doing when they accept al Qaeda's word at face value while doubting and discrediting America's is even more so.
