Al-Qaida anger at Jazeera on Laden tape

I don't think I'd ever live to see this day.  But Osama Bin Laden criticizes the insurgency in Iraq and it's really pissed people off at the people who broadcasted it:  Al-Jazeera.

Al-Qaida sympathizers have unleashed a torrent of anger against Al-Jazeera television, accusing it of misrepresenting Osama bin Laden's latest audiotape by airing excerpts in which he criticizes mistakes by insurgents in Iraq.

"It's not about Al-Jazeera, it's about their shock from bin Laden," said Diaa Rashwan, an Egyptian expert on Islamic militant groups. "For the first time, bin Laden, who used to be the spiritual leader who gives guidance, became a critic of al-Qaida and is confessing mistakes. This is unusual."

But...but...Osama is supposed to praise us at all times!  We never do anything wrong!  With the insurgency splintering in Iraq, Al-Qaeda members are starting to get worried and pissed that their almighty leader would dare criticize them.  Their world is changing, and hopefully, we can drive a wedge between them and the leadership.  Fracturing Al-Qaeda from the inside is as much fun as it would be if they were on the receiving end of a Tomahawk missile....well almost.

Now with Al-Jazeera, they have both sides of the terrorism coin pissed at them.  It's pretty much win-win for us.
