They are afraid of Abu Musab [Zarqawi], but he is just one man; in the resistance there are many, and they are prepared to fight and die until the invaders are expelled." Correct on one point; wrong on another.
Where this guy is right: if these facists want to keep on fighting, we'll keep on killing them until they are exhausted, out of ammo and dead.
Where he is wrong: We are not "afraid" of Zarqawi. We may respect his viciousness and disregard for decency as well as his ability to harness fanaticism in the cause of evil, but that is quite different from fear. Zarqawi will be captures or killed, and soon, if my guess is right.

It's just the expected liberal hand-wringing...

These are Saddam's top people who live in the triangle of death. They also have the Iranian intelligence there. I've been reading about how dangerous this area is on one of the Iraqi blogs for a long time.

More defeatist reporting from the Lefty nutcases in Britain. They need to STFU.

Good post on "Macho Jacko."
Any idea what a "surface to air mortar" is?

Zaquai is a hero to The Independent. He'll soon be a dead hero.

OK I detest the independent in general, but I thought this article wasn't so bad, or I wouldn't have posted it. There were a lot of direct quotes from military commanders, so even if they snuck something backhanded in, it was worth reading just for that. Again I haven't been reading about this particular battle anywhere else.

It all helps in giving a clearer picture of what is going on in Iraq. I stayed on the site to read the link about Sir Michael "I'm not going to start WWIII for you" Jackson.

Bump, You are right they mistake our respect for fear, I respect any people who fight hard against me, but that does not mean I fear them. Any worthy opponent gains respect in the sense I do not wish to crush someone, so I have some respect for them for being a worthy opponent, that being said I will crush them respectfully because I come to win the game.

There is the nice little bit about Lt Col Smith saying that they caught two senior terrorist leaders.

" Zarqawi will be captures or killed, and soon, if my guess is right. "
I believe that history has shown that there are two countries that really will get you if you pi$$ them off enough. United States and Israel.
It may not be immediate but it will happen. The U.S. will let things go and let things go and then something just does it and you are toast. You never really realize when it is, and it may seem like you are safe, but you are toast.
Ask your brave cohort Ossama. He has had a few years of living in caves. Ask how he likes it.... or his high associates all who are now dead or at club gitmo. We will get you. Pablo in Columbia thought we were a joke. He is dead.
Mr. Zarqawi your time has long past and you are a dead man walking.
