CAIRO, Egypt The U.S. airstrike that killed Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq, was just a stroke of luck, according to a Web statement posted Tuesday in the name of the umbrella group for Iraqi insurgents.
The statement from the Mujahedeen Shura Council, or Consultative Council of Holy Warriors, was an attempt to discredit reports from the U.S. and Iraqi authorities that Zarqawi was known to be meeting key advisers at a house in a grove of palm trees north of Baghdad when U.S. fighter-bombers blasted the building last Wednesday evening.

These loons seem to think that the USAF blows up a random house every day, and just got lucky this time. Amazing.

Well. I'm glad they cleared THAT up. I feel so stupid thinking the army actually tracked they guy down over the course of several months.
I feel so much better having all that factual data be erased by a simple 'explanation'.

"Luck" must be Arab for "God loves us more than you".

The U.S. airstrike that killed Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq, was just a stroke of luck, and not because any of us sold him out, according to a Web statement posted Tuesday in the name of the umbrella group for Iraqi insurgents. ;)

Good morning.
Yeah, good luck and a Delta LRS team.
Oh, and a couple of skilled F-16 pilots.

Oh yeah, we just happened to bomb some isolated house in the middle of nowhere out of dumb luck. LMAO. It figures Arabs would say this. They know nothing of military skill and military prowess only having suffered humiliating defeat after humiliating defeat over the decades. No, they're so feckless they can't wrap their little medeval minds around the idea that a military force can be skilled, talented and achieve real victories. I can understand why the incompetent would question skill.

Man. It must be nice to be a "web poster" with a taste for Jihad. Your posts get picked up the AP wire and the whole WORLD gets to see it!
It's almost like the AP is the myspace of Islamic Jihad.
