A purported audio recording by the leader of Iraq's al Qaeda wing said outgoing U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld quit to flee the Iraqi battlefield.
Abu Hamza al-Muhajir, also known as Abu Ayyub al-Masri, said in the recording posted on the Internet that the group has 12,000 armed fighters and 10,000 others waiting to be equipped to fight U.S. troops in Iraq.
"I tell the lame duck (U.S. administration) do not rush to escape as did your defence minister ... stay on the battleground."
Stung by a "thumping" defeat at Tuesday's Congressional elections, U.S. President George W. Bush said Rumsfeld had resigned because there was need for "fresh perspective in Iraq."
Bush said he was open to any idea for a new approach and publicly reaffirmed a belief that "victory" was possible in Iraq. The change of guard raised speculation it was meant to pave the way for a swift U.S. troop withdrawal.
The speaker vowed allegiance to Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, the head of a Sunni Islamic state comprising Iraq's mostly Sunni Arab provinces which was announced in October by al Qaeda and groups affiliated to it.
"I say to ... the ruler of believers (Baghdadi) I vow allegiance to you," he said. "I put under your command 12,000 fighters who are the army of the al Qaeda," he said.
The speaker called on fellow Sunni insurgent groups in Iraq to join ranks under the Islamic state.
I tell the Americans they should surrender to the will of Allah (Most Merciful, Most Gracious) and say the shehada and if they do these things we will deal with them in a brotherly way once the last American Soldier pulls out from Iraq
I tell you, "you can define victory any way you want."
Terrorists at home and worldwide are celebrating.
Individuals here who are not yet armed should consider the probable future and act accordingly.
If that's true we can expect our vehicles, warships, and buildings to start spontaneously combusting again.
I'm getting in the gas line now.
I have often wondered if any really crazy antiwar people in America were giving information and advice to the insurgents in Iraq to raise the US body count as was done in Vietnam.
If the American soldiers killed in combat decreases substantially in the next few months; I think I have my answer.
Point being in regards to the November 7 election.
I learned it back in 1992....if people haven't figured it out by now, they never will. DUmba$$es!
OK...how about this. You bring your guys out of hiding in dark corners. We'll go against your varsity man for man, just to make it "fair." We'll settle this in no time.
Back to you Katie....
Al Qaeda - the new democrat constituency.
U.S. Servicemen & Women, please send this Al Qaeda chief a response!
This coming from the king of the cowardly booby trap.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated. I'll do what I can.
"couple thousand or so soldiers" -
and the Lamestream Media will gleefully, shrilly and triumphantly trumpet each and every death with gusto, influencing the election of "cut and run" politicians, and then pat themselves on the back for bringing peace . . only in this case, the scriptural reference to simply saying peace and safety, peace and safety and then cometh sudden destruction will probably be a very good description of what could happen. - The media was especially vitriolic and unrelentingly vicious this go around.
We seem to have some really good news.
"Acting on a tip-off, soldiers descended on a building in the city of Rawah, 275 kilometers (175 miles) northwest of Baghdad, where they arrested local Al Qaeda commander Abu Muhayyam al-Masri, whose name is a pseudonym meaning, "the Egyptian," a Defense Ministry official said.
"Aides Abu Issam al-Libi, or "the Libyan," and Abu Zaid al-Suri, "the Syrian," were also arrested among nine other members of the cell, said the official, who asked that his name not be used because he was not authorized to speak to the media."

Yes.
The American electorate has rewarded Kennedy, Durbin, Murtha et. al. for their slanders against our troops. Republicans made mistakes, but this is beyond disgusting.
Just as Democrats didn't realize the enemy was listening when they launched their partisan attacks, they didn't realize that Bush's "stay the course" resolve was aimed at our enemies. They twisted it into some kind of autocratic stubbornness and unwillingness to listen to THEM. I guess Churchill was stubborn too! How many times did they ask him what mistakes he made in WWII?
THE DEMOCRATS DON'T UNDERSTAND WE ARE AT WAR. THE REPUBLICANS DO.
God help us.
