I can add you... Usually only send out pings to the new thread. I have been busy lately myself, and haven't been on so much. I should probably give Cindy a copy of the list to utilize it more.
Actually, I'd like to be added to your list as well if you could.
Yesterday, the "Islamic State of Iraq"--an Al-Qaida-dominated umbrella coalition of extremist Sunni insurgents in Iraq--issued several policy statements regarding ongoing events outside of Iraq. Responding to this week's release of the findings of the Iraq Study Group (ISG), the Al-Qaida faction formerly led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi had this to say:
"The military leaders of the crusader coalition forces, realized the necessity of withdrawing from the bog they put themselves in 4 years ago, because of the stupidity and recklessness of their government, and after the U.S. policy in Iraq reached a dead end; and, after the Bush administration realized too late the impossibility of achieving victory in Iraq, and impossibility of establishing a democratic state in Iraq serving as a model for the large Middle East led by Israel. After all these dreams vanished... the politicians in the Crusaders coalition stopped talking about victory or defeat in war, but all their talk and their imagination now is about one and only demand, and that is: not enabling the true mujahideen and Muslims from winning the fruits of this blessed jihad, and this is what the recommendations of the so-called "Baker-Hamilton Committee" are based upon. This committee is trying to do the same thing as the Sykes Picot accord, which was held around a century ago."
"Sykes Picot agreement came to divide the Ottman Caliphate and the region to secular countries loyal to the Crusaders occupied countries and circling around them, but Baker-Hamilton's committee came to confirm this division, and to make sure that Muslims do not cross these borders (Sykes Picot borders) in their jihad. And sadly some Muslims, mainly raised on weak positions by their clerics, they still dream of Sykes Picot's Iraq, secular national Iraq, but not the Islamic Iraq. According to their view, there is no Islamic Iraq which can be part of the large Islamic state--instead, their ultimate goal is to attain a united Iraq or a united Arab world!! But creating a Caliphate [Islamic empire] on Islamic land and working towards uniting Muslims from China to Spain does not even cross their mind--to the contrary they might reject it, because it opposes their national orientation which has been adopted by some Islamists without knowing it... All our mujahideen brothers should be aware of maneuvers and gimmicks, and not be up for grabs to the crusader enemy. And they should not enable the climbers and opportunists to grab the fruits of the blessed jihad."
In a second separate statement, the Al-Qaida-led coalition in Iraq offered its congratulations to the Islamic Courts militia in Somalia on the recent reported "victories" against their "crusader and apostate" enemies:
"We were delighted and filled of joy after hearing the good news from the jihad land in Somalia. And recently, the brothers in the Islamic Courts--may Allah grant them victory--rebuffed a large attack carried out by the apostate Somalia government's army, supported by the crusader Ethiopian army on the city of Dinsor. And we ask Allah to enable the brothers there to defeat the apostates and their allies, and to establish an Islamic State in the land of Somalia which Allah founded from jihad."
