Alleged Zarqawi Video Slams Bush
AP ^ | July 2, 2005

Posted on 07/02/2005 12:56:46 PM PDT by West Coast Conservative

Militant Muslim Web sites have posted a video showing homicide attacks against U.S. and Iraqi forces. The film's narrator apparently is terror suspect Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

The narrator calls American soldiers cowards and easy targets. The voice sounds similar to al-Zarqawi's previous audiotapes. He heads the group calling itself Al Qaeda in Iraq, and has pledged allegiance to Usama bin Laden.

The 46-minute video opens with old footage of bin Laden. The narrator says the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq was unjust and refers to President Bush as an "idiot" for announcing an end to major combat in May 2003. The voice says the war "has just started" and declares that the U-S aim is to "humiliate Muslims and to obliterate the rituals of this religion."

If these so-called "insurgents" are so brave, why do they
hide and cover their faces? Zarqawi - YOU'RE the coward.

Funny how we've never seen Kennedy and Zarqawi in the same place at the same time . . .

Hmmmm . . .

1) The war started in 1979.
2) Muslims don't need any help humiliating themselves. They do just fine on their own.
3) Obliterate muslim rituals? Honor killings, rape, torture. Okay, here I agree.

Everyone is saying 'Don't doubt who'll finish it'. To this statement I ask a question: Is the mexican border closed yet?

Don't be too confident folks. Those in power don't give a rat's ass about us. Keep your powder dry. We'll be fighting on US soil soon enough.

It's nice to know that liberals and terrorists agree.

...the U-S aim is to "humiliate Muslims and to obliterate the rituals of this religion."

Since the "rituals" of the Muslim religion include killing innocent Americans, Jews, and Christians across the globe, I'd say well, yes, we do aim to "obliterate" certain of Islam's rituals. If they get "humiliated" in the process, then it sucks to be them.

What? Zarqawi's group is named "Al Qaeda in Iraq"?

Can't be. Iraq has nothing to do with the GWOT! The Dems tell me so!

"...to obliterate the rituals of this religion."

The BEST example is NOT Gitmo! Gitmo is our first faith-based detention facility.
