Militants loyal to Al-Qaeda in Iraq threatened to sharply intensify their campaign of violence unless government and US forces end a major offensive near the Syrian border, in an Internet statement posted Monday.
The statement also promised to destroy the homes of all Iraqi soldiers and government employees in response to recent comments by Defense Minister Saadun al-Dulaimi warning that those who sheltered insurgents in their homes would be considered targets.
"The organisation has decided to give the apostate government and itsmaster 24 hours to end their campaign against the Sunni people. After that they will only see from us the worst and something that's going to make the earth tremble under their feet," warned the statement signed in the name of spokesman Abu Maisara al-Iraqi.
a sure sign that we need to step up the pace.
Dear Zarq:
How do you like having your plums squeezed in a vice?
That's about right. I guess our guys must be doing a nice job kicking ass - he sounds desperate.
Wow, we really must be close to something important.
Stop kicking our asses or we'll smash our bodies into your bullets some more!
OOOh, I guess we better not double-dog dare them. We've been warned. If we don't stop beating their a$$es and surrender RIGHT NOW, they are REALLY going to get angry!
Very likely.
Squeeze the vice harder.........
boulderdash. You mean they have been holding back on us?
We have our fine military to respond to threats. Threaten away.............
So what has all the hubub been up to now if it is going to get really bad?
Al Qaeda is sounding more and more like Monty Python.
This is new news...
"The organisation has decided to give the apostate government and its master 24 hours to end their campaign against the Sunni people. After that they will only see from us the worst and something that's going to make the earth tremble under their feet."
So they are wanting to bargain for just a "little bit" of terrorism rather than "a lot of" terrorism?
This is very reminiscent of the communique's showing up during the Tal Afar operation. That time there was a chem warfare component to the pronouncements.
This is a likely indicator that AQI is getting hurt really badly, like at Tal Afar.
The sound of a lame-a@@ weenie screaming from the applied testicular pressure.
Squeeze harder.
This is a good measure of the extreme effectiveness of the offensive.
We should have blown the Sunnis to smithereens early on. They are the biggest problem of all for our troops. Get rid of them and they won't be able to harbor their beloved AQ goons.
