| 2003-03-21 |
| The militant Islamic groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad urged Iraqis on Friday to carry out suicide bombings against invading U.S. and British forces in Iraq. "Iraqis should prepare explosive belts and would-be martyrs (suicide bombers) to combat the U.S. occupiers," senior Hamas leader Abdel Aziz-al-Rantissi told Reuters in the Gaza Strip. "The American aggressors, the American invaders are now on Iraqi soil, therefore, Iraqis must confront them with all possible means, including martyrdom (suicide) operations." "Yep. Yep. That's what you guys ought to do. You oughta kill yourselves..." "Yup. Like Abdul Aziz said, you guys oughta kill yourselves. We'll be right behind you..." The Islamic Jihad, another militant group that has carried out suicide bombings against Israelis, also took up the call. "We urge all fighters... to advance in their explosive belts toward the invading forces, to blow up their blessed bodies amid the new aggressive crusader forces," it said in a statement sent to Reuters in Beirut. "You'll never be victorious unless you're flying meat!" Thousands of Palestinians also voiced their anger over the U.S.-led war in Iraq by |

| #3 Rantisi and Yassin both need bullets in their heads. It's time for these two assholes to experience that which they call on others to do for them. |

| #2 OldSpook----Right on! We are playing "follow the money" with every tool we have in the box. Right now we are using the REAL BIG TOOLS in Iraq. Maybe we won't need to use them as much in the future. The sooner the money is taken away from the neighborhood terrorists and back into the local economies where it can be used for the betterment of the populace, the sooner the terror war will be over. |

| #1 Pretty Simple as to why Hamas and IJ are pissed - we just took their bankers away (Hussein/Iraq). They now will have to go directly to the funding source - the Saudis - or beg Syria to serve as the intermediary cash funnel between them and the Saudi Wahabbis. If we press Syria hard, and keep sending pictures of Baghdad to Rihyad, IJ and Hamas will find their funds dried up. |
