DUBAI (AFP) - The group headed by Iraq's most wanted man Abu Musab al-Zarqawi hailed in an Internet statement what it said was the "start of the collapse" of the United States after the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina.

"Congratulations to the Islamic nation, to our sheikh Osama abu Abdullah (Osama bin Laden).. and to sheikh Ayman Zawahiri (bin Laden's deputy) for the destruction of America, which is at the forefront of evil. It is the start of its collapse."

The statement, whose authenticity could not be confirmed, was referring to the hurricane that has devastated New Orleans and left thousands feared dead.

Won't even be on the front page of any liberal newspaper. Probably be on page like Z10 or something, under conservative news or something, or wild and wacky and tin foil hat news. No, no one will hear it. But I'm sure President Bush has, probably will raise the ransom...like $3 billion on both Osama and Al-Zarqawi. Anything can be done with money.

This slime beyatch is just jealous, the people of NOLA still have a higher standard of living than he does.

[the tongue]

And 9/11 was the beginning of the end of Al qaeda, so what's your point, towel head?

[SeeRushToldU_So]

He so misunderestimates Americians.

All 'moderate' Muslims should stand up and denounce Zarqawi. Furthermore, they should take up collections in local mosques to help Katrina victims. That would go a long way toward rapprochement at least with 'moderate' Muslims.

Qatar has already pledged $100,000,000. But it would be nice to hear them publicly tell Zarkawi where to go.

...I hope that every responsible newspaper...

And which ones would those be?

"Congratulations to the Islamic nation, to our sheikh Osama abu Abdullah (Osama bin Laden).. and to sheikh Ayman Zawahiri (bin Laden's deputy) for the destruction of America

I always suspected Osama had control over our weather...Osama, I hope you really dump the snow on us this year...I just love the freezing cold...

[DB]

Well the DNC finds it self on the same side as our enemies, again...

[SonnyBubba]

...I hope that every responsible newspaper...

"that's an oxymoron"

[Hess28]

Is this clown dead yet?

[ncountylee]

To be safe, reserve a few for this puke!

[layman]

It is the start of its collapse

Maybe when we totally collapse Zarqawi will find the courage to climb out of his spider hole.

[snarks_when_bored]

I seem to recall the illiterate, one-eyed Mullah Omar saying something similar before we took down the Taliban in Afghanistan.

The butcher Zarqawi is not long for this world.

[CindyDawg]

We can multi task just fine, thank you. We are tired and cranky though. Try something while we are down, and see what happens. You think our young men and women are tough? You really don't want to mess with their middle aged momma and daddys , that raised them , right now.

[nicmarlo]

Was that Zarqawi, or Howard Dean?

.....or Katie Couric?

[rollo tomasi]

Has Abu Musab al-Zarqawi looked at our GDP lately?

[Kolb]

May 1,000 cluster bombs explode on your backside al-Zarqidiot!

[brewcrew]

Or, as the Great Karnack used to say, "May the lice of ten thousand camels infest your armpits!"

[varyouga]

No Zarq, it is the beginning of the end for you guys.

This storm might actually allow us to drill and refine our own oil. When that happens, we are free to nuke whatever oil-rich hellhole supports you.

Anyway, I though this clown was dead already?
