WASHINGTON, July 18, 2007 A captured al Qaeda in Iraq leader has admitted the networks followers have been duped into following the direction of foreign leaders, not Iraqis, a military spokesman in Baghdad said today.
Coalition forces captured Khalid Abdul Fatah Daud Mahmud al-Mashadani, thought to the most senior Iraqi in the al Qaeda in Iraq network, in Mosul on July 4, Army Brig. Gen. Kevin Bergner, a spokesman for Multinational Force Iraq, said. |

HA HA...this is why the rat congress are so scared. They know what we’ve got they know we’re winning and turning this situation totally around...they know if this happens they can KISS 2008 ELECTIONS....GOODBYE!!!
Well, Well. The Iraqis are waking up.
Maybe not just yet ... there will have to be a re-education of some ‘true believers’ ... but yeah ... they’re gonna find out ... and when they do, I predict some ME heads will (literally) roll.
Maybe that's why Sadr is back ... he knows he's f***** when they find out, so he's doing some CYA ... hoping to stay alive.
I think I hear the popcorn is done.
No wonder RATs could not sleep and tried to push another surrender resolution thrrough the konga-gresssss.
EXACTLY....I posted an article the other day “Bush Surprises Senate Aides With Unexpected Interruption of White House Meeting” and was so excited saying he’s keeping the course in Iraq...I thought that he’d gotten some really great news from Iraq. This is part of it!!!
Your keyboard to God's ears. What has been lacking up to now is a reliable means of disseminating this information that does not depend on the mosques. Iraq now has that.
Vietnam was always successfully (and not altogether accurately) portrayed as a nationalist resistance to foreign invasion. That has certainly been attempted in Iraq in the form of the "we're all Muslims fighting the infidel" theme, but two things have happened to weaken that theme - first, the foreigners who kill the Iraqis in bloody terrorist atrocities aren't American and everyone knows it by now, and second, that the Americans will work with the locals and al Qaeda won't except to threaten, dominate, and kill.
It's been a very long and painful road to place the Iraqis into a position where they can take their own country back. The Iranians have come to the party too late, IMHO, and when it finally gets to it young Mr. Sadr may have some serious explaining to do to counter the obvious fact that he's an Iranian puppet. Part of that is his current stridency in public and cooperation in private with the government in terms of his partisans' ending their boycott. Maliki is letting him get away with it, for now. But it's an elective government and Maliki isn't there forever.
He's feeling it. They're all feeling it. The people that are now fighting al Qaeda vote. Under the surface this thing is getting very interesting indeed.
I have to agree with you.
As far as Sadr is concerned, I always felt that he had to be brought into the process. He was and he showed his colors.
Isnt he hiding in Iran with his religious advisor Ayatollah Kazem al-Haeri Now?
Bump.
Another bump for some good news.
"Young", my @$$!!!
Sadr is already several years too old, IMO...
