Bring it on. This would be very interesting if it were anything more than bluster.

[in hoc signo vinces]

BWAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA...yep, drawing the enemy out to fight in the open (if this claim by AQ is good) is exactly what we want.

[Maceman]

Uh-oh!

They've been holding back all this time, but now they're REALLY STEAMED!

Maybe we should just leave Iraq before they get even madder.

[Sthitch]

Good, that means that our men can kill more of theirs in less time.

[Semper Paratus]

They must have a couple of car bombs ready to go.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

"Conquest of Vengeance." AQ must've hired some writers from North Korea...

[Proud_USA_Republican]

Blah, blah, blah, we've heard it all before. Typical arab military strategy. Make insane claims of victory in the face of agonizing defeat.

If your such a brave little allah's warrior, why have you been hiding like a little bitch for months now?

Common Zarqawi, act like a man for once in the pathetic existence you call a life.

[Semper Paratus]

Didn't al- 'whats-his-name' warn the US to stop or else 2 days ago?

[airborne]

Time for us to launch - "OPERATION: INFINITE A$$-WHUPPING!!"

[jveritas]

The terrorists are hurting very badly in this ongoing US/Iraqi offensive in the Anbar province. Operation “Steel Curtain” is killing and capturing a lot of their fighters as well as destroying a lot of the terrorist infrastructure they built in Anbar.

'After that they will only see from us the worst and something that's going to make the earth tremble under their feet,' the earlier statement said.

Blah Blah Blah

[Cap Huff]

fyi

[Whitewasher]

Good. It looks like the plan to smoke out AQ is working.

Smoke them out then just plain smoke'm.

[Sprite518]

This just means more Women and Children will die. We all know Al Qaeda is not MAN enough to put their troops against ours. What a bunch of cowards!

[Always Right]

Al-Qaeda's Iraq operation, led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, said it was launching an offensive in the west of Iraq in response to a major US and Iraqi military operation on the Syrian border.

Hmmm, I thought Al-Qeada and the war in Iraq had no connection.

[freedomson]

A good strategy would be an all-out FRONTAL ASSAULT!

Our troops would never be able to survive that and I sure hope they don't try it.

[DoctorMichael]

Damascus should be made to mysteriously disappear.

[Renegade]

Sounds like Hali Salasi ( sp) attacking German Panzers with camels and spears .

Al-Qaeda's Iraq operation, led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, said it was launching an offensive in the west of Iraq in response to a major US and Iraqi military operation on the Syrian border.

English translation: Al Qaeda has identified some vulnerable Shia civilian targets to launch a disgustingly bloody terror campaign against.
