Al Qaida plays the race card

I see that Al Qaida's #2 Ayman al-Zawahiri came out with a new statement today going right at US President-elect Obama with some not so friendly racial statements:

By seeing the need to release the message, you could make a pretty good case that Al Qaida is afraid of how those they "inspire" will interpret the US embarking on such a significant movement for change. The reasons they "justified" attacks on the US may not exist for much longer if Obama has the chance to do foreign policy his way.
