Jamal Al-Gheidhani: The paper contends that Al-Gheidhani, an Egyptian writer, is the real author of two books supposedly penned by Saddam and that he received $50,000 per month for his efforts.

Abd Al-Bari Atwan: "The father of nationalism" and famous for his unflinching support of Saddam Hussein. The paper reports that it obtained a secret document asking for "the reasons for the delay in depositing the monthly sum of $50,000 in City Bank in Amman
" The paper also reports that "this explains the secret of his fierce defense of Iraq and the Arabs. It was a paid-for defense
"

Yemen's President Muhammad Abdallah Saleh: "Wholesale grants."

Jasim Al-Ali: "The final cluster in the money tree." According to the report, Al-Ali, who had been the representative of Al-Jazeera TV in Baghdad, received "tempting monthly amounts from the former Iraqi government
"

• A soldier who was shot while on patrol in the al-Mansour district of Baghdad.
• A female soldier who died when a roadside bomb exploded about 300 yards (meters) from the main U.S. base in Tikrit, Saddam’s hometown.
• A soldier who died after a rocket-propelled grenade attack on a convoy near Samara, 60 miles (100 kilometers) north of the Iraqi capital.

* First, he calls on "brothers in Jihad" to try to seize power in Muslim countries where the present regimes are regarded as weak. He singles out Pakistan as "ripe for liberation." Al-Zawahiri's analysis is based on the assumption that the pro-Jihad elements in the Pakistani army and secret services would help the radicals win power in Islamabad. As the only Muslim country with an acknowledged nuclear arsenal, Pakistan could put the Jihadists in a new league.

* The second segment of al-Zawahiri's strategy is focused on what he calls "lands of war," meaning Afghanistan and Iraq. There, he envisages years, if not decades, of war pitting the United States against Jihadists. The aim is to weaken America in preparation for its eventual fall. Reading between the lines, it is clear that al-Zawahiri hopes that a future U.S. administration would get tired of involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan and withdraw from both. And if and when that happens, the only organized force capable of seizing power in Baghdad and Kabul would be the Jihadists.

* The strategy's third segment focuses on what al-Zawahiri regards as unstable Muslim countries, including Indonesia, Yemen and Somalia. All three suffer from tribal, ethnic and sectarian feuds dating back centuries - feuds that Islamists could exploit to weaken the established order before administering the coup de grace.

If you think that David Kay’s report on Iraqi WMDs can be adequately summarized by idiotic headlines such as: "No Illicit Arms Found in Iraq," then you need to read this report. If you believe the following "news analysis" by David Sanger in today’s New York Times summarizes the findings of David Kay, then you need to read this report. Sanger’s piece is, in fact, political propaganda disguised as analysis, presumably designed to obscure and distort the evidence that you can read with your own eyes. His opening paragraph culminates in a simple untruth:

The preliminary report delivered on Thursday by the chief arms inspector in Iraq forces the Bush administration to come face to face with this reality: that Saddam Hussein’s armory appears to have been stuffed with precursors, potential weapons and bluffs, but that nothing found so far backs up administration claims that Mr. Hussein posed an imminent threat to the world.

That is not what the administration claimed. (The Times has even had to run a correction recently correcting their attempt, retroactively, to distort and misrepresent the administration’s position.) The administration claimed that Saddam had used WMDs in the past, had hidden materials from the United Nations, was hiding a continued program for weapons of mass destruction, and that we should act before the threat was imminent. The argument was that it was impossible to restrain Saddam Hussein unless he were removed from power and disarmed. The war was legally based on the premise that Saddam had clearly violated U.N. resolutions, was in open breach of such resolutions and was continuing to conceal his programs with the intent of restarting them in earnest once sanctions were lifted. Having read the report carefully, I’d say that the administration is vindicated in every single respect of that argument. This war wasn’t just moral; it wasn’t just prudent; it was justified on the very terms the administration laid out. And we don’t know the half of it yet.

Voice of Judea Commentary:
Moshiach [The Messiah] must be coming very soon. The Israelis have now invented a bomb detection pig? What next? Israel will succeed in inventing a peace loving Palestinian? Who knows, what the Jews couldn’t do, maybe the pigs can do.

What halachic justification could the Jewish Legion find to raise pigs in the Holy Land?
(Good question. However, the Torah only says that Jews are not supposed to EAT them.)
While saving lives is the number one mitzvah what will the Arabs say, and what will the liberal Israeli left have to say about offending Islamic sensitivity to pigs?
(Whatever the hell the liberals say, just point to the first part of this sentence and ask how serious they are. Whatever the hell the terrorists say, just shoot them.)
One thing is for sure Arab terrorists aint gonna appreciate getting sniffed out by wild pigs.
(They don’t appreciate dogs either, but that hasn’t stopped the formation of K-9 units.)
It would be truly a historic chain of events if the secular pig-raising Lahav Kibbutz joins hands with Yesha settlements to fight off Arab terrorists with pigs under the auspices of the Jewish Legion.
