CAIRO, Egypt – Al-Qaida's No. 2 leader used a racial epithet to insult Barack Obama in a message posted Wednesday, describing the president-elect in demeaning terms that imply he does the bidding of whites. The message appeared chiefly aimed at persuading Muslims and Arabs that Obama does not represent a change in U.S. policies.

Ayman al-Zawahri said in the message, which appeared on militant Web sites, that Obama is "the direct opposite of honorable black Americans" like Malcolm X, the 1960s African-American rights leader.

In al-Qaida's first response to Obama's victory, al-Zawahri also called the president-elect — along with secretaries of state Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice — "house Negroes."

Speaking in Arabic, al-Zawahri uses the term "abeed al-beit," which literally translates as "house slaves." But al-Qaida supplied English subtitles of his speech that included the translation as "house Negroes."

The message also includes old footage of speeches by Malcolm X in which he explains the term, saying black slaves who worked in their white masters' house were more servile than those who worked in the fields. Malcolm X used the term to criticize black leaders he accused of not standing up to whites.

In Washington, State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said the latest message was just "more despicable comments from a terrorist."

The 11-minute 23-second video features the audio message by al-Zawahri, who appears only in a still image, along with other images, including one of Obama wearing a Jewish skullcap as he meets with Jewish leaders. In his speech, al-Zawahri refers to a Nov. 5 U.S. airstrike attack in Afghanistan, meaning the video was made after that date.

Al-Zawahri said Obama's election has not changed American policies he said are aimed at oppressing Muslims and others.

"America has put on a new face, but its heart full of hate, mind drowning in greed, and spirit which spreads evil, murder, repression and despotism continue to be the same as always," the deputy of al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden said.

He said Obama's plan to shift troops to Afghanistan is doomed to failure, because Afghans will resist.

"Be aware that the dogs of Afghanistan have found the flesh of your soldiers to be delicious, so send thousands after thousands to them," he said.

Al-Zawahri did not threaten specific attacks, but warned Obama that he was "facing a Jihadi (holy war) awakening and renaissance which is shaking the pillars of the entire Islamic world; and this is the fact which you and your government and country refuse to recognize and pretend not to see."

He said Obama's victory showed Americans acknowledged that President George W. Bush's policies were a failure and that the result was an "admission of defeat in Iraq."

But Obama's professions of support for Israel during the election campaign "confirmed to the Ummah (Islamic world) that you have chosen a stance of hostility to Islam and Muslims," al-Zawahri said.

Well, I'm trying to figure out how history will look at the long era of conflicts in the Mid East. Since 1967 marks the point of the final or current geographical situation in the Middle East, as the outcome of the "six day war", i figure that is the beginning. The goal then simply using classic multiparty game equilibrium theorem isss that they eventually have to return to the borders of pre-1967 geographic positions....yes nerdy. anyways, since we are always involved there on the side of Israel (no matter what our intentions), as soon as that happens a more solid peace treaty is more likely between the Israelis and Suni Muslims, not necessarily Shi'ites. But of course it doesn't mean perfect peace but rather the diminish of a common conflict between the two factions of Islam. Soooo, I'm wondering if that in addition with the Iraqi problem can be clustered for the same finish date... the Israelis are willing but the GOP is not from what I know.

Only 20% of Americans own a Passport, the Iraq War making Americans virtual prisoners in their own country because terrorists like to shoot anyone they find with an American Passport or Credit Card travelling overseas.

Problem with a Holy War is that once declared, it could go on for hundreds of years because the enemy is difficult to find.

The old wars were pretty simple, the British fought Americans and all you had to look for was a blue or red uniform before you set off your rifle. Battles did not last very long, because most soldiers died from excessive loss of blood.
