The Crusaders mobilized their big armies
and used the most destructive and
lethal weapons and the most deadly and
hurtful poison gas together with their stooges

CAIRO, Egypt
The al-Qaida leader in Iraq purportedly criticized U.S. and Iraqi forces for recent fighting in northern Iraq, where hundreds of insurgents were killed or captured, and urged his fighters to prepare for a "final" battle in an audiotape posted Sunday on the Internet.
The recording attributed to Abu-Musab al-Zarqawi claimed that the insurgents inflicted casualties on the allied troops in the Tal Afar battle. U.S. and Iraqi forces attacked the insurgent stronghold on Saturday and by Sunday night reported 156 militants were killed and 246 captured.
"The Crusaders mobilized their big armies and used the most destructive and lethal weapons and the most deadly and hurtful poison gas together with their stooges," he said. "But God made them drink at the hands of the mujahedeen the different kinds of death and made them face horrible things that they will never forget."
The voice could not be authenticated, however it was similar to previous recordings attributed to the Jordanian-born al-Zarqawi. The tape was posted on an Islamic Web site often used as a clearinghouse for militant statements.
U.S. officials could not immediately be reached for comment, but the Americans have consistently denied using poison gas in warfare.
The man on the audio recording urged his fighters to be ready for a "final" battle and show no kindness to the Americans, whom he called "cowards who always seek to run away."
He also referred to Iraqi effort to adopt a new constitution that their U.S. backers hope will be a step toward stabilizing the security situation in Iraq and allowing foreign troops to withdraw.
"Your enemy is now witnessing his worst days on the land of Iraq, seeking to get out of it but he can't find the way out; trying to get out of the swamp through the oppressive constitution," the speaker said.
"Be aware and keep your fingers on the triggers. The final and decisive battle is approaching and we are determined to uproot them and make them taste the horrors of the battle," he added.
The speaker also called the Hurricane Katrina disaster in the United States an answer to prayers.
"The hurricane was the result of a prayer from a father who lost his son or from a woman assaulted in the land of Iraq or Afghanistan. Heaven's door was opened and the response came from God," he said.
He's all sh*t and no g*t.

Another one of those, "Mother of all battles" is coming?
I hope when our Warriors find this shithead they gut him in front of his followers and then throw his dead body in a truck full of Swine
Lots of talk about poison gas in northern Iraq the last 2 days. I know troops there have been on alert for a possible chem attack for some time now in Mosul. Just makes me wonder--and worry.
I LOVE THE SMELL OF VICTORY !
Must be getting desperate.
guttin him is too good-please behead that son of a bitch and make sure we broadcast it all over the world-
Is this final battle like Saddham's Mother of all battles?
One could only hope.
But its odd him talking about final battles unless he is getting pretty desparate. Urging his minions on to their death while hiding in Syria makes for fewer and fewer minions.
It would seem the last push into Tel Afar has hit a bigger nerve than initially thought.
Abu-Musab al-Zarqawi is losing!
Why can't we just use our superior warriors, use our true force and end all this bullsh*t already. We are wasting too much time pussyfooting around.
Yeah but will that coward be fighting with them?
As long as he promises to make the battle 'final', we can even let him pick the venue. I've been waiting for a final battle against these sheet wearing suicidal 21st century rejects for 4 years.
Just rember one thing. These guys are not Superman. They are just murdering thugs that think they serve some purpose that that really don't understand anyway.
