| Another Iraqi group’s gunning for Zarqawi |
| 2004-07-10 |
| A previously unheard of militant group had threatened to kill al-Qaeda-linked Jordanian operative Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi, the second outfit to do so in three days, Al-Jazeera satellite television said. Al-Jazeera broadcast a video showing seven masked men, carrying guns, as one of them read a statement. Calling itself "Seif Allah" (the Double-Edged Sword of God), the group threatened to kill Zarqawi and accused him of "treachery and allegiance to the (deposed) regime of Saddam Hussein". It said it would "pursue Zarqawi and his supporters everywhere they go". On Tuesday, a group calling itself the "Salvation Movement" vowed to execute Zarqawi unless he and his henchmen left Iraq immediately, according to a statement read out on the Al-Arabiya satellite news channel. |

| #17 DBT, Let me ask you a question: Have you ever worked with or on nuclear weapons? I have.BTW, I'm asking you now, don't tell us 'you know' and quote one of the many excellent and reliable books or websites available. Anyone can do that. It's been my experience that those who have never been up close and personal with the damned things tend to be the ones who suggest their use first. And if your response is, "well, it was simply rhetorical', that's even worse, because you either know what they're capable of and what their use represents then said it anyways, or you hadn't the faintest clue...and then said it anyways.

| #16 If you care about American security, then you will work for the nuclear annihilation of Fallujah and Najaf,.. I'd settle for a massive JDAM attack on insurgent nests in the Fallujah area. Nothing that has happened there so far rises to the point of a nuclear response, and I can't see a scenario that would. |

| #15 If you care about American security, then you will work for the nuclear annihilation of Fallujah and Najaf, to be followed by the forced Secularization of Iraq. Dog Bites Trolls, how many supporters do you have for your proposal? If you have no supporters at all anywhere, then maybe you ought to rethink your position. . |

| #13 Got proof of any of those wild accusations about President Bush, DBT? We'll wait. ***crickets*** |

| #12 Let me liberate you from your ignorance. 1. After WW2, the Allies implemented a "De-Nazification" plan for Occupied Germany, because Nazis were the main enemy. 2. After GW2, the Bushies implemented a "De-Baathization" plan for Occupied Germany, because the Bushies refuse to recognize Islamofascism as an enemy ideology. 3. Bush is a pathological anti-Secular, who still pays consulting fees to terrorist front groups like the ISNA and CAIR. 4. By effectively outlawing Secularism in Iraq, the Bushies delivered a window of opportunity to Islamofascists of both the al-Qaeda and Bisaji (Shiite) varieties, creating anti-American terror bases in both Fallujah and Najaf. 5. The Bushies have allowed as many as 10,000 Iranian animals to make pilgrimages to Iraq, each day, even as Iran's tyrants were inciting violence against America. (Numerous Iranians have been arrested as terror suspects in De-Secularized-Bush Iraq. 6. Because of the Bushies enabling of cultural-unification of the Iran terror state and Shiite Iraq, the elections next year will be directed by Iran, who will use its captive Shiite majority to enable Iranian occupation of Iraq. At that point, Iran will begin exterminating Iraqi minorities, and will - thanks to Bush's ideological stupidity - possess over 60% of all Middle East oil. 7. Bush indulgence of the Islamofascist enemy, will make America the laughing stock of the world. If you care about American security, then you will work for the nuclear annihilation of Fallujah and Najaf, to be followed by the forced Secularization of Iraq. You will also work for the over-throw of the Iranian, Saud and Paki tyrannies, that are either protected or subsidized or served by the Bush family clowns. |

| #11 #10--- There was group named Thul Fiqar al-Batar which translates into "the double-edged sword" carried by Grand Imam Ali. This group rose up to oppose Sadr. |

| #10 Think back. Wasn't the "Double Edged Sword" of whoever name used before? It sounds familiar. |

| #9 Hell, we ain't never found D. B. Cooper, neither. Proves nothing. What a "gang of thugs" can do is use nastier methods of getting to Zarqawi... methods that would make reporters and Democrats swoon. (Not that it takes much to make them swoon.) |

| #8 "If the US with all its mighty force can not get him, how do you think a group of thugs will?" -did it ever dawn on any of you that maybe *we are* behind this. Imagine the possibilities. |

| #7 If the US with all its mighty force can not get him, how do you think a group of thugs will? Iraq is a big place, and even Saddam wasn't found in a day. What's more, a group of thugs can blend right in with the population, while uniformed U.S service personnel stick out like a sore thumb. |

| #4 What would be really encouraging is for Iraqis dressed in government uniforms, without masks, to announce and carry out aggressive operations against Zarqawi, criminal gangs, and Ba'athists (or whatever the hell they're called now that they don't even have a bogus ideology to wrap around their tribally organized avarice and power lust). There's some video I'm looking forward to .... |

| #3 I dunno if the "group of thugs" can get him, but I like the idea of them kaing Zarqawi nervous and jumpy. Someone here a few days back pointed out that in a way, this isn't such a good thing -- last thing Iraq needs right now is a bunch of new vigilante groups running around. I tend to agree -- after Zarqawi gets bagged. |

| #2 See the Thulfiqar Army, Anon -- did you say that never could the US make Tater give? Actually, we only had to pay off those who already bristled under his Islamist yoke >=3 Re: Seif Allah -- GO YOU! Well, until you turn against the US, in which case we'll have to kill you, but until then, TAKE ZARQAWI'S HEAD! |
