Now available: the latest Al Qaeda video

If you want to see something that'll make you sad, watch this video. It's 48 minutes long, 44 minutes of which is an American Californian who converted to Islam and moved to the Middle East. He's not an Al Qaeda spokesman who spends his time saying things like:

For your own sake, we invite all Americans and other unbelievers to Islam, wherever they are, and whatever their role and status in Bush and Blair’s world order. And we send a special invitation to all of you fighting Bush's crusader pipedream in Afghanistan, Iraq and wherever else 'W' has sent you to die. You know the war can't be won and that the condition of America’s war machine is going from bad to worse. You know you're considered by Bush and his bunch of warmongers as nothing more than expendible cannon fodder – a means to an end as evidenced by their mass mailing of rubber stamped form letters of condolence after your buddies died for them, and by their callous recall of the meager compensation they paid those of you crippled in the wars.

Very sad.
