In a recent tape from most wanted terrorist Osama Bin Laden he ominously mimicks Democrat calls for withdrawal and retreat from Iraq:
"Your President is misinterpreting public opinion polls which show that the vast majority of you support the withdrawal of your forces from Iraq," bin Laden said.
"He (Bush) disagreed with this desire and said the withdrawal of troops will give the wrong message to the enemy and that it is better to fight them on their ground than on our ground."
"Reality shows that the war against the U.S. and its allies is not just restricted to Iraq as he claims, but Iraq has become a gravitational point and a recruiting ground for qualified (mujahideen)," he added.
The later statement can be likened to those on the left, such as Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry, and Jack Murtha, who claim the invasion of Iraq has emboldened the terrorists.
Bin Laden also is warning of new attacks on America, as well as calling for a truce, which US officials will likely reject.
