In an audio message posted on the web Wednesday purported to be from Al Qaeda leader Ayaman al-Zawahiri, he called President-elect Barack Obama a “house slave” while criticizing his proposed policies in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Al-Zawahiri is the organization’s No.2 leader. During the message, which lasted 11 minutes and 23 seconds, the speaker also contrasted Obama with Black Muslim leader Malcolm X, calling him the “direct opposite of honorable Black Americans” like Malcolm.  He went on to say that Obama along with former Secretary of State Colin Powell and current Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, can be categorized as “house slaves,” by Malcolm X’s description.  The message included old clips from Malcolm X’s speeches. The speaker went on to paint a gloomy picture for Obama. “You have reached the position of president, and a heavy legacy of failure and crimes awaits you,” he said. “A failure in Iraq to which you have admitted, and a failure in Afghanistan to which the commanders of your army have admitted,” he said. He also said Obama’s plan to move more troops into Afghanistan “is a policy which was destined for failure before it was born.” The leader talked about Obama’s Muslim father and Obama’s current faith, Christianity. “You were born to a Muslim father, but you chose to stand in the ranks of the enemies of the Muslims…And so you promised to back Israel, and you threatened to strike the tribal regions in Pakistan, and to send thousands more troops to Afghanistan, in order for the crimes of the American crusade to continue.” Officials have not confirmed the tape’s authenticity. Both Al-Zawahiri and Osama Bin Laden are believed to be hiding in Pakistan.
