| Al Qaeda’s chief terrorist in Iraq is trying to bring in hundreds of hardened Islamic fighters from Chechnya to help launch his offensive against U.S. forces, The Post has learned. Documents discovered on a computer disk of a captured high-level al Qaeda courier revealed that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the military commander of Ansar al-Islam, has proposed transferring up to 2,000 jihadi veterans from Chechnya to Iraq over the next few months, U.S. officials said. This ain’t good. Those Chechens fight harder and better than your average al-Q cave dweller. The officials said al-Zarqawi needs the Chechen fighters to help him carry out a terrorist campaign aimed at promoting a religious civil war inside Iraq in the run up to the June 30 deadline for the sovereignty transfer. In the face of this news, go here for a good laugh at an asshat of denial and lies. |

| #5 The Chechen language is of the Caucasian group, which includes Ingush, Georgian, Mingrelian, Abkhaz, it is not TUrkic, nor are the Chechens themselves. |

| #4 "Al Qaeda’s chief terrorist in Iraq is trying to bring in hundreds of hardened Islamic fighters from Chechnya..." If true, you're fucking welcome Putin (you stand-on-the-sidelines, French-licking, German-sucking pimple), for draining your swamp for you, and putting up U.S. & coalition members' kids to handle your domestic concerns. Nice pass... |

| #3 They are very different ethnically (mountainers from Caucasus) and their language is from the Turkish group while Arab is semitic and Kurdish is Indo-european. They would stand about as clearly as Michael Jordan (Peace and Blessings upon him) at at congress of Ku Klux Klan dwarves. |

| #2 Are Chechnyans ehtnically seperate enough from Arabs to the extent that they can be easily picked out? If not, I doubt they effectively speak Arabic with a Baghdad accent. |

| #1 Are there even 2000 Chechnyans left? I thought it was the "widows club" that has been the boomers of late in that neck of the woods. |
