It can't be true.

Al Qaeda is NOT in Iraq.

The MSM told me so.

Running and hiding has aged him quite a bit.

He called on al Qaeda fighters to provide “a head of an American as a present to the trickster Bush” in a month-long campaign that he called the “Attack of Righteousness”.

Sigh...if this is true, I guess his boys will have to settle with HIS HEAD, when we give it back to 'em.

In the meantime, I imagine all the sub-dude commanders are scattering cause they know he'll give 'em up. The sub-dudes will now be subdued.

Glorious day in "This War that Cannot be Won Militarily" (Hillary's tough wisdom)

I wonder if this is not all suspect...yesterday we had this:

Report: Al Qaeda in Iraq Leader Identified With Photo

********************EXCERPT*****************

CAIRO, Egypt —  Al-Arabiya television reports it has identified the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq and the network broadcast his photograph.

The Dubai-based network, citing an Iraqi police official, said the real name of Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, who allegedly heads the Islamic State of Iraq, is Hamid Dawoud al-Zawi.

**********************************

And on this thread:

BBC: Iran hardliners condemn Khatami - ( dispute over "exporting the revolution")

at post #9,..I posted the Photo news,...at post #14..DJ said this

“Report: Al Qaeda in Iraq Leader Identified With Photo”

Propaganda piece. Disinformation...

******************

And at post # 19...DJ responded to my question as who was behind the propaganda....he said:

AQ

They are still trying to put an Iraqi face on the leadership of AQI...

In use. Howard Dean is preparing to strap Hillary to it.

LOL, I'd pay a dollar to see that.

I'm sure it's just a matter of time before the MSM starts claiming he was just an Al-Qaeda wannabe.
