Heroes and Anti-Heroes

Who gave these instructions, Karl Rove or al Qaeda?

The most important thing is that you continue in your jihad in Iraq, and that you be patient and forbearing, even in weakness, and even with fewer operations… Do not be hasty. The most important thing is that the jihad continues with steadfastness and firm rooting, and that it grows in terms of supporters, strength, clarity of justification, and visible proof each day. Indeed, prolonging the war is in our interest, with God’s permission.

Where would the Republican heroes be without their al Qaeda anti-heroes?
