The 20-minute recording was posted Friday on a Web site used by Democratic activists and the speaker is identified as Nancy Pelosi, who takes over leadership of the US Congress after Dennis Hastert resigns in January. Calling President Bush a "lame duck" the speaker tells Bush not to "run away as your lame defense secretary ran away," referring to Donald Rumsfeld, who resigned Wednesday. ~ "Come down to the Congress, you coward, we'll use you for target practice," the speaker on the tape says, adding that the Democrats will not stop their jihad "until we blow up the wicked house known as the White House." The speaker claims her army has 12,000 legal advisors, strategists, consultants, lawyers, columnists, White House Press Corps, Hollywood celebrities, and TV comedians, with thousands of Angry Left activists waiting in the wings to join them. She pledges those troops to the service of the Democratic Party, calling for the ACLU, NLG, NARAL, NAMBLA, International ANSWER, and other progressive groups to join with them. "We have to be unified by the righteous struggle, even though disagreements exist between us," said the voice on the tape. The recording and its "far-fetched" claims came as the media announced resignations of Ken Mehlman and other Republican leaders after the six-year-old bloody siege by the Democrats, which has grown increasingly unpopular with the voters. The voice on the tape praised the Democratic victory, saying: "The American people have given us a mandate to dismantle their country." Experts consider the audio message to be an attempt to exact maximum propaganda benefit from the results of Tuesday's midterm elections. White House spokesman Tony Snow said the Bush administration had no comment on the tape whose authenticity could not be verified.
