| U.S. Condemns Iraq Attackers as 'Enemies of Islam' |
| 2013-08-12 |
| [An Nahar] The United States condemned the perpetrators of deadly attacks in Iraq Saturday as "enemies of Islam," in an unusually detailed statement following the latest violence in the war-ravaged country. The State Department said the boom-mobiles that tore through Storied Baghdad ...located along the Tigris River, founded in the 8th century, home of the Abbasid Caliphate... cafes and markets, as well as other blasts and shootings elsewhere, were "cowardly" attacks "aimed at families celebrating the Eid al-Fitr" holiday that marks the end of the holy fasting month of Ramadan. The violence killed at least 61 people and came just weeks after brazen assaults, claimed by an Al-Qaeda front group, on prisons near Storied Baghdad that freed hundreds of bad boys, and amid high daily corpse counts in Iraq. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki, however, went further, reiterating the $10 million award offered for Al-Qaeda in Iraq's purported leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who is believed to be sheltering in Syria. "He has taken personal credit for a series of terrorist attacks in Iraq since 2011, and most recently claimed credit for the operations against the Abu Ghraib prison outside Storied Baghdad, the suicide kaboom assault on the Ministry of Justice, among other attacks against Iraqi security forces and Iraqi citizens," Psaki said. |

AND * TOPIX > AL-QAEDA VOWS MORE IRAQ ATTACKS. The hell you say!? VERSUS * TOPIX > [Long War Journal] US STATE DEPARTMENT CONFIRMS AL-QAEDA IN IRAQ LEADER HAS RELOCATED TO SYRIA, ostensibly to visit his Boyz there. Thus of course proving he has no connection or linkage [wink-wink] to the latest attacks in Iraq??? |

| #4 I'm sure the holy rollers are interested in what Jen Psaki knows what is and is not islam, and that the flip side of the coin is the USA is the defender of Jen's idea of true islam. And knowing that this administration didn't go to the mat for the guy who found bin laden, why in the world would somebody accept this bounty? |

| #3 We've got two choices in this war. Wipe out Islam or get the muslims to wipe the terrorists out of Islam. I know which will be cheaper in treasure and blood however improbable, so I applaud the DOS for making even a feeble move in the right direction. |
