America, a paper tiger?

Osama's number two man has been in the studio and has released his latest rant which al-Jazeera is all to eager to show. Ayman al-Zawahri says Bush's troop withdrawal indicates Americas defeat in Iraq. I have read the transcript and al-Reuters news report and I can't for the life of me understand why there are still some people in this country who believe we must withdraw troops and bring the disenfranchised fraction of muslims to the table and understand their position. From what I've read, this religion wants islam to be the rule of global law. The cut and run crowd should be very happy with the progress they've made in getting us war mongers to understand them!
