#1 Whatâs telling about this story is that they are FOREIGN fighters and NOT Iraqis. If there was such a ground swell against the U.S. (as reported dutifully by the LLL press) in Iraq wouldnât you think that they would have Iraqi Jihadis lined up around the corner? No they have to go to other countries to find some poor downtrodden kid and recruit them. I notice that the U.S. has started attacking âsafeâ houses in Fullujah and other cities in the Sunni Triangle. Sounds like the Iraqis are getting a little tired of these people and giving them up.

#2 Cyber Sarge,

Bingo! An Arab journalists few days ago, made a comment about the Arab Press calling those terrorists "Iraqi insurgents", when it should have been obvious to any native arabic speaker, that the "insurgents" were from the Nadj region of Saudi Arabia. Needless to say that the "insurgents" spoke a dialect only heard in that region.

#3 ...stamping him as the star of the new global jihad

The media loves stars. Look soon for Dan Rather to break out his old Afghan clothes and set up the exclusive meet.

#5 The hour-long production is part political manifesto, part recruiting campaign and part propaganda to tell the United States that its intense efforts to find the Jordanian-born militant leader have been a failure.

Saddam Hussein wasn't found overnight.

#8 I am happy to see these stupid, backwards throwbacks to the "great islamic past" blow their asses up in Iraq and not in my home town.
