Iraq-Jordan
Zarqawi sez he's behind latest violence
2004-07-12
"I dunnit an' I'm glad!"
The group led by suspected al Qaeda ally Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has said it carried out an attack in Iraq last week that killed five U.S. soldiers and two Iraqis. "On Thursday one of the lions of Islam from the 'martyrs' squadron' entered a citadel of the American forces and the so-called National Guard in Samarra, completely destroying it," the statement from Zarqawi's Tawhid and Jihad Group said.
Every time they say stuff like "lions of Islam" I squirt coffee out my nose...
The statement, posted on an Islamist Web site Sunday, said the Jordanian-born militant's group pounded U.S. and Iraqi forces with mortars when they rushed to the scene, and claimed a much larger death toll than that given by U.S. officials. The U.S. Army said Thursday that five U.S. soldiers and two Iraqi guards were killed in a mortar attack on the Iraqi National Guard headquarters in Samarra, north of Baghdad. It said 18 U.S. soldiers and four Iraqi guards were also wounded in the attack, in which mortar fire severely damaged the National Guard building, which is also used by U.S. troops.

#17  Its about time someone said something worth reading like the big article above. So many Moslem men are assholes. God damn their souls! The women are not much better. Intolerant Intolerant Intolerant of other religions. Not much different than the Catholics during the Middle Ages. To much power corrupts.

#16  Destroying Mecca and Medina will prove that Islam is a false religion with Allah being a false god to these people. It is just another cult. Possibly one of the most violent threats to world peace. Everyone should read the Koran to see how much hate it teaches to kill Christian and Jews. This war is not going to stop for many years as the Moslems breed like flies by there treatment of women like breeding mares. They are causing their own hardship and misery by over population in arid lands putting more strain on very limited water and food supplies. The Palestinians are probably the worst at breeding like flies to cause their own misery blaming it on the Israelis. Stupid hypocrites! Then there is Arafat - a greedy terrorist/murder leading a hate filled people thinking he is so great while pocketing a billion dollars for himself. Give me a break! Many moslems say they will drive Israel into the sea. Well ignorance is bliss! Moslems are one of the least tolerant people in the world. They can only exist by themselves. The people of Europe are now learning this truth, especially in the Netherlands where the population is now 5.5 percent moslems. Many of these men are brainwashed by a belief you go to heaven by being a murder. How outlandish! This type of belief can only be stamped out by using a very strong hand to crush and kill such monsters. Hunt down terrorists killing them and taking no prisoners to let them fight another day. Until that attitude is taken this terrorist war is going to last many years. Because this hate is taught to the moslem children year after year creating the next generation of killers by studying the Koran. The only solution is to destroy there so-called holy cities to prove their little god Allah is a hoax like so many other world cults are. Only Hebrew God/man Yashua is the only Real God who created the universe and all things known by his Greek name Jesus along with his father Yahweh. Moslems are taught from the Koran that Yashua/Jesus is only a prophet and will kill you to say he is God. Many Jews think the same way!!! The United States military men were so humiliated by the Saudi government when not allowed to bring Bibles into Saudi Arabia during the first Gulf War with U.S. politicians so weak minded that they put up with such intolerant heathens as the Saudis to protect their asses from Saddam. The teachings coming from the Koran must be defeated or the world will be destroyed by this hate filled false religion out of Saudi Arabia. The Imans (religious leaders) fan the coals of hate constantly there. Until they are stopped this war will continue. The Israelis know how to deal with Arabs. The only way is with a strong hand, because moslems have no ability to forgive once wrong with their eye for an eye mentality. The only solution is kill all the men as was done in ancient times by the people of Israel. This taking of hostages is the same tactics used in ages past by them. They are simply brutal people filled with hate and jealousy blaming the west for all their ills.

#15  Nuke Mecca and Medina will rid us of this Moslem problem. Moslems are stupid as their prayers are not answered and they live in darkness praying to a God that does not exist. What morons!!!

Wash times today, indicates that US troops withdrew from Sammarra, and that Iraqi National Guard has been reluctant to challenge insurgents cordon, so Sammarra (or at least much of it) has effectively been in hands of (Baathist) insurgents. Within last couple of days US movement into Sammarra faced insurgents mortars, lost 5 Americans, insurgents attacked (no casualty numbers given) City is apparently currently be contested, as well as Baquba, and Ramadi.

#13  Glad to see you may it past the drano antiwar!
I'm hearing the US crusaders are getting ready to start attacking kindergartens again and will most likely use mewling kittens to bring their innocent targets out in the open.
We know how you feel about kindergarteners... how do you feel about kittens?

#7  Presumably Anonymous also regards the Iraqi police as occupying forces. What a moron.

#6  How can it be the Iraqi Resistance when it is composed of foreign fighters? Oh, logic and truth are not your point. Well, quit typing and rush to join your brothers in arms.

#5  It is either under the control of occupying forces or in the hands of Iraqi resistance!

#4  Does anyone know the current status of Samarra, like in who is running the city?

#3  A mortar attack becomes a triumphant march into the "citadel of American forces" and it's "completely destroyed." Yeah. Zarqawi is such a dimwit. He can't help but take credit for a minor attack, one in which, by the way, he kills Iraqis. That's sure to get him in tight him to the home folks.

Sympathies to the families of the brave men who died because of this asshole.

Sooner, not later, someone is going to give the right people the right tip...and Zarqawi is vaporized, probably in Fallujah.

#2  The sooner this butcher's death wish is fulfilled

Too late. The ball is in the Iraqis' court, but they haven't learned to play yet.

#1  The sooner this butcher's death wish is fulfilled in the form of a toe tag, the better for our troops, those of the Coalition and Iraq as a nation trying to rebuild itself from the years of Saddam.
