Al-Zarqawi's Group in Iraq Changes Name

Associated Press

CAIRO, Egypt - Tawhid and Jihad, the Iraqi militant group of terror mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, apparently has changed its name two days after announcing its merger with Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida organization.

An Internet statement released Tuesday under the purported new name, al-Qaida of Jihad in the Land of Two Rivers, claimed responsibility for an attack on a U.S. military convoy west of the Iraqi city of Fallujah the same day. The two rivers in the new name refers to the Euphrates and Tigris rivers in Iraq.

We can just call them Kerry's Commandos, or scumbags for short.

Sounds like a lame rock band that goes back out on the road but due to legal reasons has to preface the name of the group with the name of the lead singer.

LOL how about we call them "the terrorist formally known as Tawhid and Jihad"? If Prince can do it, so can these terrorists!

I'd like their name to be Al-Quaida of the brand new glass parking lot in the Middle East.

al-Queda of Jihad? In the land of two rivers? The Euphrates and the Tigress? Would that be Iraq? Claiming responsibility for attack near Fallujah? That would make al-Queda in Iraq, wouldn't it?

This wouldn't sound like a connection between Iraq and al-Queda? Iraq and OBL? Nah. Quite a stretch.

Now you know OBL is dead.

He wouldn't have agreed to this. He's not as corny as Zarqawi.
