Al-Zarqawi's Group in Iraq Changes Name
Associated Press
CAIRO, Egypt - Tawhid and Jihad, the Iraqi militant group of terror mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, apparently has changed its name two days after announcing its merger with Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida organization.
An Internet statement released Tuesday under the purported new name, al-Qaida of Jihad in the Land of Two Rivers, claimed responsibility for an attack on a U.S. military convoy west of the Iraqi city of Fallujah the same day. The two rivers in the new name refers to the Euphrates and Tigris rivers in Iraq.

What does "al Qaida" mean in English?

announcing it's mergerHorse hockey, they've been in cahoots for months if not years. This makes it sound like a company buy-out for cyin' out loud.
Once, just once I'd like to see a paper print something more like, "after finally admitting publically that they are joined together in their declaration of war on civilization...."
I'd buy a subscription. But it's too much to expect, I know.

What does "al Qaida" mean in English? "It's raining men."
It really means "the base". Or son of/from the base.

Omar and Osama have been "room temperature" for some time now. We bombed Omar's suburban just outside Kabul as it was heading for the hills. Anyone who wants to see Osama should find the stain on the highway.

Well I'll be darn, finally someone in the MSM figured out that's all Al-Qaida has ever done, change their name. It's the same damn fools running around with ski-mask on beheading people. Al-Qaida has always been more of an ideology than just the people in it.

They're taking a democRAT page out of the playbook of political correctness. Maybe the heartburn medicine factories will spread the truth about the problems of creating the vaccine and that IT'S NOT GEORGE BUSHES FAULT!

So will the MSM Kerry campaign transcription service play along and change the name or just stay with the old one. We await the Kerry spokesman's direction on this vitally important issue.
As if I care what the terrorists call themselves. They are all Islamo-Facist terrorist, regardless the name.
