CAIRO, Egypt

Al-Qaida in Iraq confirmed the death of its leader, Abu Musab al- Zarqawi, and vowed it will continue its "holy war" in a statement posted on the Web on Thursday.

"We want to give you the joyous news of the martyrdom of the mujahed sheik Abu Musab al-Zarqawi," said the statement, signed by "Abu Abdel- Rahman al-Iraqi," identified as the deputy "emir" or leader of al- Qaida in Iraq.

"The death of our leaders is life for us. It will only increase our persistence in continuing holy war so that the word of God will be supreme," it said.

And it will only increase our persistence in sending them straight to Hell

Uncle Sam vows to help them end it courtesy U.S. of A.

Their spin is about as lame as the Democrats and MSM. "Joyous news"? Your leader just got his ass blown away! Let's hope for more "joyous news", then.

Ditto.

"al-Qaida in Iraq Vows to Continue Holy War"

Like all the dumbass Japanese soldiers that "continued to fight the Holy War" in the forests of The Philippines until they were captured just a few years ago?
Their favorite tactic all those years?
Why these brave "warriors" fought the good fight by, wait for it, sneaking onto farms in the middle of the night, and stealing chickens.

With all this "Victory through defeat" crap, they sound like democrats.

[Kakaze]

Just about the response I'd expect from those who value death more than life.islam is a cult of death.

Keep lining up 'boys" and we'll keep sending you to your "reward"

[Jameison]

"Let's hope for more "joyous news", then"

Yep.
We need plenty more such "joyous news" for Al Quaeda
Its all them 72 Helen Thomas's they'll be ravishing that's making them so happy I think. :)

"The death of our leaders is life for us.

Funny thing though, I don't see these guys elbowing each other out of the way in order to become the next leader.

Word is they got 7 other leaders with the same attack. Now that's some good intel there.

Hopefully we've cut the head off the snake.

I hear they regularly log on the RATS web site to pick up the latest Al Quaeda talking points.
They were obviously listening in to the RATS yesterday when they got clobbered in the Cali congressional elections. :)

I think if this is their attitude, all of them should present themselves unarmed at their nearest US Firebase, bend over in front of a firing squad and kiss their pig loving arses goodbye.

[Cindy]

Yes, the snake head has been cut off (at least in Iraq) for awhile. There have been some weak little articles that have come out suggesting that AQ will carry on, blah, blah, blah.

Personally, I think Zarqawi out of the picture is very good news.

[Lurker]

I really want to see the guest list at the little party we broke up.

This is like Leno loosing all his writers.

The liberals will babble incoherently without anyone to feed them new "death to America" lines.

AKA our new 'Target Alpha.'

Finally, news I can join the al-Qaeda in celebrating!

Let's make this the first of many more such joyous announcements!

[Perdogg]

I guess one of his aides will be promoted.

[posterchild]

I wonder if the swiftness of the announcement of 'Abu Abdel-Rahman al-Iraqi' being in command means their highest commander is the webmaster.

[Cindy]

Yes, that would be nice.

[Jameison]

"AKA our new 'Target Alpha.'"

Yep.
Remember all them Hamas leaders the Israelis used to take out?
They'd appoint a new one, and he'd be blown to kingdom come in weeks.
After a while, they decided they were not so eager to see 72 virgins anymore, and suddenly stopped announcing who the new target...ummm...leader was. :)
