But I thought he was willing to die for the cause? No suicide belt? No shootout? All talk and no action?

Another fearless brave Arab leader follows his own exhortations and fights to the death as an inspiration to others to become glorious martyrs.
Whoops, that isn't what happened. Big mouth became big chicken. Again.

Interesting that the Russians say he was in Baghdad.
Was he trying to escape for exile to Iran?

Outstanding news if this is true.

From earlier today:
"I am ready to sacrifice (myself) and I call on the (Iraqi) people not to allow my death to cause the collapse of the fight for freedom and an end to the occupation,"
Typical muslim chicken-sh!t...
To: threat matrix
Dead would be better. Hopefully the IGC arranged this and is flexing it's authority. Maybe this mess has given them more legitimacy in Iraqi eyes.
