The Al Qaeda playbook!

[demlosers]

1) Incite people against the Shia and provoke sectarian war.

They've tried repeatedly and failed.

The media and Al Qaeda is soooo disappointed.

[Mo1]

the document says the "rank and file" of the mujahideen in Baghdad know their leadership does not have "a broad view" or "a well-knit plan" and that "this has led to strategic losses for us."

And the Democrats what us to leave .. when the enemy is losing

Ummm .. shows who side the liberals are on

[areafiftyone]

Jeeze why do they release this information to the media? It would be good if they could keep this stuff secret so that Zarqawi doesn't know we are on to him!

[thoughtomator]

How exactly did ABC news "obtain" a document about top secret military activities? Was it declassified?

[Enchante]

The MSM is delighted to have the latest version of the playbook so that they can continue to support AQ's strategy as effectively as possible.

[hattend]

Who needs Tokyo Rose or Jane Fonda when you have ABC News?

[CBart95]

We will want to adopt a healthy suspicion of anything and any story released by ABC.

Any number of "acts of deception" may be at play here...including ours of "going along" with a captured enemy document even though we have intelligence that causes us to believe that the document is bogus and meant to throw us off or create a momentary diversion.

This may prove interesting to follow as Al Queda must alter their game plan as we systematically eradicate them from Iraq...and launch pacification/liberation programs for IRAN after the regime fall in process now.

If nothing else, it may help provide cover as they steal out of Iraq to haven in Syria, Lebanon and other terrorist nurturing countries.

[ScreamingFist]

The five-page document appears to sketch out a new strategy for Al Qaeda in Iraq: Reduce attacks in the Sunni dominated areas in the West and concentrate attacks inside Baghdad.

My Word! Next the goat humping, western educated bad butts will discover the texts of Sun Tzu and the Art of War. Then we'll be really screwed....

I wonder if the plan they found was the one presented at the Jihad Convention that Zarkman was talking about over on IowaHawk a while back. The link doesn't seem to be working: iowahawk.typepad.com/iowahawk/2005/10/i_hate_my_boss.html
but I did some digging and I was able to find it in Google cache: Good times:

Saturday morning after continental breakfast we gathered in the Fallujah Room for the opening session which got started late because, as usual, nobody can remember to bring the freaking network cord for the projector. Then Zawahiri stands up and flashes the opening slide: “Restoring the Caliphate: A TQM Roadmap For Strategic Empowerment.”

Oh, man, I think. This ought to be good for some laughs. His big intro?

“Brothers, at the end of the day, to break through the strategic gap, we have to level-set all associates to tee-up a flat, service-focused organizational paradigm with benchmarks for long range results.”

At that point I basically knew where the whole f*&^ing weekend was going. So then he trots out his precious freaking ‘Five Point Roadmap.’ Get a load of this s&^%, which I cut and pasted from his actual PowerPoint:

1. Develop Skill-Set Synergies For Expelling Crusaders From Mesopotamia
2. Achieve Buy-In For Scalable ‘Bleeding Edge’ Regional Amirate Platform
3. Implement Adaptive ‘Win-Win’ Map To Break Down Intra-Regional Jihad Silos
4. Champion Mission-Critical Processes For Dis-Implementing Zionist Pigs
5. Pareto-ize Alpha Office for Stakeholder-Focused Global Sharia Capabilities

Then, I swear to Allah, 58 drilldown slides of this crap. Lucky I was at the back of the room with Minesweeper on my laptop, otherwise I would have volunteered for my own martyrdom operation just to end the misery. Finally, at around 11:30, Fearless Leader opens the floor for questions.

Yeah, I got a question, I thought. How many consultants did you hire to put together this box-and-arrow clusterf*&^? But, since it was close to lunch, I kept my mouth shut. Then Achmed the Saudi raises his hand. Now, you have to understand, Achmed is pretty much the team wiseass, so half the room was smiling and the other half was cringing when he stood up. “Imam,” he says, “let’s go back to phase number one on your waterfall chart. Ummmm, how does this expel-the-crusaders thing happen again?”

So Zawahiri just sorta stands there, mute for a minute, and says, “well, er, the vision statement is really very simple. We build mindshare with the masses with six-sigma beheading QC processes, and then the kaffirs will run away like in Vietnam. We just need to be ready for it, like the Vietnamese.”

Achmed just stands there and looks at him, completely deadpan.

“No seriously, this is exactly what happens with best-of-breed insurgencies, like Vietnam,” says Zawahiri. “It’s in all the books.”

So then, Achmed does this sarcastic confused look, and starts scratching his temple with his left stump. Man, it’s a good thing they broke for lunch, because I thought I was going to f^%$ing crack up.

After lunch, the next round of stupidity: another one of those retarded “team building” activities. These consultants divided us into color-coded teams, and gave us big bags of styrofoam cups and tongue depressors. The idea was that we were supposed to compete to build the highest cup tower. What the f^%$ this had to do with restoring the caliphate, I had no idea, but during the debrief the consultant finally said it was “an exercise to help you discover cooperation strategies.” Oh brilliant. Maybe you could have told me that before I decapitated those three idiots on the Blue Team.

Anyway, after tea break we shuffled back to the conference room for Session 3 (“Caliphate? Let’s Motivate!”) and I swear, that s^%$ was so bad it made me wish I was back in the morning session. First up was this middle aged infidel chick Cindy, who droned about how she came to support the jihad after we killed her crusader kid. I mean, this is supposed to be inspirational? We finally get one kaffir mom on our side, and she turns out to be a lunatic hippie egomaniac who won't shut up, and with a voice like nails on a chalkboard. Jeesh.

I guess the high point of the day is when the PR department showed some of our network media coverage from Satanland. That was hella cool, but then they had to follow it with fan mail from the some of the infidel websites, which was a complete buzz kill. Come on, man. Hitler had his Mussolini. The ‘Cong had their Khmer Rouge. Us? We get Michael Moore and a clown car of dipshits from Kos and DU.

INTERESTING OBSERVATION:
ABC "news" and the rest of the LameStream Media are so interested in what Al Qaeda "might" do, but they completely ignore the recently uncovered documents in Iraq apparently showing Saddam's pursuit of prohibited weapons....hmmm...

[randog]

The document complains that the losses of American forces in Baghdad "are hardly worth mentioning"...

Says you!! Why, the Western media is all too happy to dwell upon the tragic, needless death of that poor boy who couldn't find work so he joined the military just so he could feed his mother and family...

[nutmeg]

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.

[Interesting Times]

...the "rank and file" of the mujahideen in Baghdad know their leadership does not have "a broad view" or "a well-knit plan" and that "this has led to strategic losses for us."

Are they referring to their local leadership, or the DNC?

[NonValueAdded]

So naturally we let them know their plan is compromised so they can change tactics instead of walking into well-planned coalition ambushes. Sheesh.

Post #19 is interesting. Someone sure has no clue on classification of enemy documents.
