More Bad News For Democrats

Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid won't sleep very well tonight if they read this.

Osama bin Laden's latest call for Iraqi insurgents to unite against Americans fell on deaf ears this week in Ramadi, the city that al-Qaeda leaders once declared the seat of a new Islamic caliphate and capital of the Iraqi insurgency. Rather than rise up against them, the people of Ramadi Tuesday invited U.S. forces to watch a massive parade.

Poor Democrats, they can't even count on Al-Jazeera to get their message out.

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.

No wonder the Democrats say that they're going to go around the mainstream media and take their message directly to the voters.
