#1 The most important thing, oh sheik, is that you are there and that you remain a thorn in the mouths of the Americans and a thorn in the mouths of the apostates.

I heard news reports yesterday where they said that this line was praise for Zarqawi's continuing efforts, but it reads to me like an admonition from someone who has doubts. Especially when followed by this line:

The most important thing is that you donât hear from (only) one side, even if it were the closest person to you. Hear from all sides so that the truth can become clear to you.

Sounds like he's disappointed with Zarqawi and asking him to step it up.

#2 al-Yemeni you say? From the Basra al-Yemenis? When Iraq becomes the premier middle eastern power, there is going to a day of reckoning for those countries that sent all those suicide bombers and head choppers.

#3 It seems to indicate alot of problems. Disappointed jihadi syndrome is just around the corner for the letter's author unless he was already capped.

Dear Mike,

I hate this war and I need your help. I saw that you have a book about pissed off soldiers. I was hoping that you could take my letter and send it to as many people as possible about this war.

Thank you for your help in our cause.

To the sheik Abu Ahmed, may God keep him: (Quranic verses)

I advise myself first and then advise you to fear God in private as in public and that you donât worry about blame from anyone. I urge you that you let nothing stop you from jihad (holy war) for the sake of God ... and that you take refuge in God in all situations, in easy times and in difficult ones..................

#6 The situation is not the way it used to be in Fallujah, when you used to come and visit us and we used to enjoy sitting with you. The situation has completely changed.

Now, you dont even call, dudele. Would it be so hard to call, maybe once a week? I mean I know you're very busy, and don't have time for your old liebling, but maybe you could have rachmanes for a sick, old person? Ach, I never should have moved to Miami.

Thanks be to God for everything.
Still, I dont complain. Not me. If youve got youre health, youve got everything, right? Oy, but my leg is killing me. But I shouldnt go on, I know how BUSY you are, sweetie. But maybe you could call, no?

#7 ''The situation is not the way it used to be in Fallujah, when you used to come and visit us and we used to enjoy sitting with you.''

I think this verse right here should be posted on the wall of leadership in Washington on proof positive on why you dont fight war with boarders and never allow your enemy to have a safe place were he can rally. The best thing I heard when this war started was Bush ''We will attack the terrorist and all who support or aid the terrorist anywere they are'' Not exact quote but general point and that is how you win a war you kill and chase the enemy anywere everywere. When from day one you have to hide 24/7 like a roach and the meeting place always is chagin the last one got busted the faces always changing some dead some surrendered some captured and ratting makes a dangerous immoralizing feeling when you never know who is going to rat you out or who you can trust will the place I layed down last night be safe today. 24/7 pressure unlimited and the terrorist is feeling the heat. I tell you what it sure sucks when you jump on a paper tiger to only find out that the paper tiger was really a Lion the size of a elephant with bear claws rhino skin and porkupine stickers all over it that loves to eat those who attack it.
