Why isn't this in the U.S. papers?

AlJazeera has published an article on a recent speech from al Qaeda's no. 2 man, Ayman al-Zawahiri. In the tape, Zawahiri asks the Democrats to speed the removal of troops from Iraq and councils the current governments of Iraq and Afghanistan that they "must face their inevitable fate, and face up to the inescapable facts. America ... is about to depart and abandon them, just as it abandoned their like in Vietnam."

Update: Powerline has the actual video tape of the speech and provides an insightful analysis.
