Reuters Revives the Bogus Mr. Baghdadi as AQI Spokesman By Mark Finkelstein | December 4, 2007 - 12:07 ET

Can I get an "argh"?

As detailed here, "Abu Omar al-Baghdadi" was long-ago outed as a figment of al Qaeda-in-Iraq's imagination, a transparent attempt to give a home-grown flavor to the foreign-controlled AQI operation by claiming that the non-existent Baghdadi, supposedly an Iraqi, was AQI's leader.

But despite the debunking of the bogus Mr. Baghdadi, the environmentally-sensitive Reuters recycles him today in its story "Al Qaeda-linked leader orders Iraq bombings".

(Excerpt) Read more at newsbusters.org .

Is this the same Baghdadi-dadi ? He is a figment of Reuters, yet delivers speeches saying there is only 200 AQ left? Something is fishy here.

Al Qeda in Iraq chose this actor to portray him as the leader of the “Islamic State in Iraq” so they give their terrorist movement and Iraqi face. Regardless, the man says what Al Qaeda is telling him to say. So this latest speech and other speeches are “AL Qaeda” speeches regardless who is the person delivering them.

Of course it’s fishy. They are just waiting for us to stand down and then they’ll be back.

Yes, we won the ‘war’ - it’s the occupation that’s going to be the problem. Wars don’t stay won in the ME. That’s been the case for centuries and it ain’t gonna stop now.
