Qaeda's Zawahri says Iraq bill shows U.S. defeat

DUBAI (Reuters) - Al Qaeda's second-in-command Ayman al-Zawahri said a U.S. 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," Zawahri said.

Expect Zawahri to be quoted by Kristol, Krauthammer, Hannity, and Limbaugh.

I sure looks like the political debate in the U.S. is going to get really ugly. See also Greenwald observations about the new wewintheylose.com website, where they write:

Congress has passed ... the Iraq Surrender Act of 2007.
