Iraqi Militants Threaten Attack on Kuwait

]Iraqi militants threaten attack on Kuwait

Associated Press, THE JERUSALEM POST
Aug. 14, 2005

A previously unknown Shiite group warned Kuwait Sunday to pull its troops back to the pre-1991 border or face attacks.

The statement by Islamic Jihad, read by a masked man in a video obtained Sunday by The Associated Press, came amid criticism by some Iraqi officials of Kuwaitis trying to encroach on Iraqi land.

"We call them to return to the pre-1991 border otherwise we will attack border posts, border patrols and carry out attacks inside Kuwait," said the masked man sitting between two other masked gunmen. "We will also attack Kuwaiti citizens in Iraq."

In 1993, two years after a US-led coalition drove the Iraqi army out of Kuwait, a UN border demarcation commission redrew the frontier. The upshot was that Kuwait received 11 oil wells, some farms and an old naval base that used to be in Iraq.

The Associated Press and Al Jazeera are only too willing to give faceless terrorists a global voice.  May they and their associates rot in hell.

I am glad the world now has a calibration on these maggots of the media. If I worked in the Pentagon, I would be watching these pro-terrorist organizations very closely...along with the ACLU -- :-)

Looks like I can add the Jerusalem Post to that list.

Why does the Jerusalem Post think it's necessary to give voice to such animals?

Good question - but we know GOOD NEWS does not sell -- BAD NEWS does sell. The media in general, stinks.

Appeasing Islam never ends. Next demand--back to the early days of Adam and Eve, when only Muslims redsided there. The rest of the world had better submit. Daggers and daggers are at the hands of the modern day Muslim kilers.

The terrorists are getting their assess kicked in Iraq and think they can move to Kuwait and stir the pot there. Kuwait seems to pick up on these terrorists threats within their border pretty quick. If they get their hands on a terrorists he will wish he had been sent to Gitmo.

Just what, pray tell, is a "Iraqi militant"?


Rag heads from Iran? From Syria? From Saudi Arabia?

It must go something like this...

Ring... ring... ring... Click

Hello, Jerusalem Post, One Card Shy of a Full Deck speaking.

Yes, ah who would I speak to if I wanted to give a terrorist statement?

Has your organization called in before, or are you a new client?

Well, we haven't called in before, but we have thought your coverage of other terrorist statements was some of the best.

Just a moment while I see if Sucker For a Good Line is in.  She handles new clients.  Just a moment...  Click.

Click.  Hi, sorry to put you on hold.  Sucker isn't in today, Never Learns over at the general client desk will have to help you.  Just a moment.

Never Learns, may I help you?

Yes, my name is Diseased Jackel.  I'm calling from a very large terrorist group called Islamic Jihad.  (Third party in the background: No you idiot, it was supposed to be the "Islamic Liberation Front" declaring an Islamic Jihad.  Third party is his uncle.  Two cousins and a cat with mange listen in...)

Excuse me, I didn't hear that last part.

Oh nevermind Never Learns, I have a statement for you.

Okay, go ahead please.

Islamic Jihad is declaring Kuwait to be too sympathetic to the west.  They're in for it.

Alrighty then.  Let me read that back.  Islamic Jihad is declaring Kuwait to be too sympathetic to the west.  They're in for it.  Have I got that right.  I don't want to get your message wrong.  We don't want to damage any of our working relationships with terrorists, oops, freedom fighters.

Yes, that's right.

Okay then.  Here's our 800 number for when you call in next time.

Now, I'd like to ask you a few quality assurance questions. Do you mind?

No. Go ahead.

Have I shown proper respect toward you, as a follower of Mohamad?

Yes, very good.

Have I taken care of your needs?

Yes.

Have I answered all your questions?

Yes.

Is there anything else I can do for you?

No.  Holy camel dung, you've been great.

Okay good-bye.

Good-bye Never Learns.

Uncle and cousins, you're right, they never learn.

I agree. Lots of clueless, only know what they see on tv. And I bet VERY few Americans have any idea what's about to go down in Gaza.

Thanks for the ping to the thread, by the way. :)
