CAIRO, Egypt - Al-Qaida in Iraq on Thursday denounced Iraqi Sunni politicians who met recently with Jordan's King Abdullah II, calling them and the monarch "traitors."
The statement, posted on an Islamic militant Web site, did not mention a summit Thursday between Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and President Bush. Both leaders met separately with King Abdullah before their talks in Amman, Jordan.
Instead, al-Qaida in Iraq - the country's most feared Sunni Muslim militant group - lashed out at a string of Iraqi Sunni Arab politicians who held talks with Abdullah ahead of the summit.
"The traitors of Jordan's meetings, whether they know it or not, have entered today in a pact with Satan to fight the men of God," al-Qaida in Iraq said in its statement.
The authenticity of the statement could not be confirmed. It was posted on a Web forum often used to issue militant statements and was signed by the "Islamic state in Iraq," the so-called Islamic government that the group declared earlier this year and that now issues all its messages.
Al-Qaida has long demonized the U.S.-allied Jordanian monarch and in the past has targeted Iraqi Sunnis it sees as cooperating with the Shiite-led Iraqi government or the United States.
The statement called on "the lions and free men of Jordan" to prepare themselves to confront the king.
Abdullah met earlier this week in Amman with Harith al-Dhari, head of the influential Association of Muslim Scholars, a hardline Sunni Arab group known to have links to some factions within Iraq's 3-year-old Sunni-led insurgency. The king also met with Iraq's Sunni Vice President Tariq al-Hashimi and Iraq's most powerful Shiite politician, Abdul-Aziz al-Hakim.
["The traitors of Jordan's meetings, whether they know it or not, have entered today in a pact with Satan to fight the men of God," al-Qaida]
Can you imagine the good hearty laugh that Satan is going to have when those who think that die & poof- wake up to see the evil one staring them in the face? Jokes on you al Qaeda! http://sacredscoop.com
Sounds to me like alQaeda-in-Iraq knows what the US press refuses to admit- that the insurgency is floundering, its rats are leaving the terrorist ship, and the potential ones are refusing to get onboard.
I hope you're paying JimRob for the advertisement opportunities. ;-)

OPINION: I hope you're right.
The global jihad is connected by the internet.
The internet is their global community.
Cut the jihad from the internet, limit their
fundraising and endless propaganda and the
global jihad will not end, but it will be diluted.
I think the hot spots right now (regarding the
global jihad) are Thailand, Somalia and North Waziristan;
however Iraq is stil one of the top 10 hot spots,
in my opinion.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm yes piasa- just like i pay EVERY other forum that allows links in posts- NOT- but glad to see you're right on top of things there-
