News From The Arab Mujahideen Inside Iraq
2003-04-25
This just in: Baghdad Bob seems to be writing copy for Rightword(?). Translated by JUS.
Much of it looks like a rehash to the message from Abu Iyad, Amir of Mujaheddin, the other day. It's probably taken this long for JUS to make any sense of it...
The Arab Mujahideen in Iraq have started to release reports and statements about their operations against the Anglo-American troops as the result of the lack of reliable news sources and the dominance of American biased media in Iraq since the fall of Baghdad. The Mujahideen indicated that the evacuation of the Iraqi troops from Baghdad took place after intense consultations between the headquarter of Arab Mujahideen and the Iraqi government after they realized that the Americans would use illicit bombs on Baghdad, some that weigh 10,000 tons and have the destruction power of a small nuclear bomb without radiation, and after they had incurred significant losses and casualties all over Iraq even in Um-Al-Qasr which is a small city on the borders with Kuwait.
Yep. The mujaheddin just tore 'em up in Umm Qasr. 'Course, that was because the Merkins and the Brits had brought the wrong weaponry. M16s and tanks and .50 cals are for use against soldiers, and this job needed varmint guns...
The Iraqi government consulted the Arab Mujahideen before evacuating Baghdad in a tactical surprise that puzzled the Americans. The report asserted that the American troops could not find the Iraqi weapons including 150 Iraqi war planes and 150,000 Iraqi fighters beside Iraqi police and Republican guards is evidence of the success of the evacuation plan.
That's a windy way of saying they ran like hell, to live to fight another day...
The report confirmed that the Iraqi fighters and Arab Mujahideen had moved to underground military shelters that gather in certain areas that cannot be reached by the enemy. The Iraqi resistance will launch their Guerrilla war operations against the aggressors from these underground areas that were not mentioned for the safety of the Mujahideen.
Yeah. That's what the first press release said. They've become troglodytes, and they're gonna pop up out of holes in the ground like prairie dogs, pot a few infidels, and then pop back down, never to be seen again. Sometimes they're going to fly out of the holes in their aircraft. Every once in awhile a destroyer will come bubbling out, to sweep the Navy from the seas. That's why the water was off for so long...
The report declared that a number of Al-Qaida and Taliban fighters had successfully entered the Iraqi territories and joined the other Mujahideen in a surprise that boosted the morale of all the fighters.
"Hurrah! Hurrah! The Talibs are here to help!"
They asserted that the headquarters of the Mujahideen were separate from the Iraqi troops and will struggle for one goal; to pave the way for an Islamic state in Iraq. The communiqué indicated that since the beginning of Anglo-American aggression, the Mujahideen leaders organized the groups of Guerrilla fighters for two reasons; first, to estimate the points of strength and weakness of the enemy and select the best places for potential operations; Second, to exhaust the enemy's troops with significant losses.
They'd better hope they did the former better than they did the latter...
The Mujahideen promised that they will adopt new techniques in the coming operations that will inflict the aggressors with great losses. The report illustrates the current situation in Iraq including:
  1. The Americans depended to a large extent on the psychological war so that it compelled the reporters and journalists to enter Iraq with their troops. The enemy tried also to hide any piece of news about its losses so that it killed some journalists who revealed the truth about the losses and the deteriorating morale of the American soldiers. The Americans have repeated in Iraq the exact scenario of their war in Afghanistan where they deceived the world with a victory in a limited period and not showing that their troops incurred losses in the battles and all their casualties come from friendly fire. Nevertheless, and despite the American dominance of the media, it cannot conceal that it failed to achieve any of the goals it declared before the war; the Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was not arrested nor any Iraqi military leader or ministers. Therefore, they resorted to hide this failure by arresting a number of former Iraqi ministers that had retired from the political life in Iraq long time ago.
    Like Tariq Aziz...
  2. .The American troops control all the desert areas and the nearby cities that are easy targets for their warplanes, and they erected their camps in these areas. On the other hand, they control nothing in the towns; they cannot even protect their soldiers. In big towns like Basra, Moussel and Baghdad, the British troops empty their locations and moved to the outskirts of these areas as soon as they encounter any resistance in order to start intense bombing on the resistance locations. In small towns, the Mujahideen chose to refrain from performing any operations against the enemies for fear of their retaliation that will inflict losses among Iraqi civilians.

  3. The oil refineries are always guarded by special units of the American troops which form easy targets for Mujahideen attacks. As soon as the oil companies enter the oil fields with their equipments, the Mujahideen surprise them with their attacks which compel the American troops to send more forces to these areas, and that is what the Mujahideen wish.

  4. The ammunition lines of the Americans are intensely attacked by the Mujahideen. These Ammunition lines prove that the Americans are staying in the deserts because they cannot control or settle in the towns.

  5. Although the Mujahideen have not yet started to launch organized military operations against their enemy, and all their previous attacks were aimed at testing and selecting the best plans, areas and techniques, the American soldiers are afraid to enter the towns such as Baghdad, and the majority of them showed their disobedience to their leaders. This disobedience pushed their headquarter to replace these troops with others under the pretext that the Marines will hand over the Iraqi capital to the American army which is illogical because any forces that occupy a place are more suitable to stay in it because they become acquainted with its resistance and its points of strength and weakness beside the safety of roads and the suitable techniques.
Sorry for the length, but I love a good fairy tale.

#5  10,000 TON bombs? Carried by what?

"......gather in certain areas that cannot be reached by the enemy"
Don't tell me, I can guess this- where Wendy and Peter fly to help the Lost Boys, the Mujahideen are hiding in NEVERLAND!

Man I hope the average Ali is buying this line of BS just like they swallowed Baghdad Bob's sh-t. The more shattered delusions, the BETTER!

#4  C78.That's why they're called "illicit bombs". Illicit must be Arabic for "friggin' huge".

#3  I say we drop one of these "10,000 ton bombs"...Let me sipher this, let's see, carry the naught... 20 MILLION lb. bombs, on the bunker hiding 150,000 Iraqi fighters and 150 warplanes.
Gosh, that would even give 70+ year old Rummy a stiffy!
I am looking forward to seeing the "delivery device" for the 20 million lb bomb at the upcoming airshow.

Obviously someone not familiar with the history of the Marine Corps and Army during island-hopping in WW2.

Thanks for the amusement.
