On February 17 2008, Al-Ekhlaas which is the largest terrorist forum on the internet published an Al Qaeda document that talks about the life of Abou Musaab Al Zarqawi and indicates that Zarqawi came to Iraq before the war to prepare the terrorist insurgency against the US troops. According to the document Zarqawi arrived to the Sunni areas in central Iraq. This document was written by one of Al Qaeda top leaders called “Saif Al Adel”.
There were many accounts about Zarqawi presence in Iraq before the war in particular in Northern Iraq with “Ansar Al Islam” an active Al Qaeda affiliated terrorist group that was present in the Kurdish areas of Iraq long before the war started. The document also proves that Ansar Al Islam helped Al Qaeda members establish themselves in Iraq before the war started.
The author of the document wrote that there were no relations between Saddam regime and Al Qaeda but this does not negate at all the most important fact that Al Qaeda was in Iraq before the war for the sole purpose of preparing for its most important front to fight the U.S and it is now in Iraq where Al Qaeda is suffering its most crushing defeat since its existence.
It is very important to note that despite the author of the document denial of a relationship between Saddam regime and Al Qaeda it does not mean that Saddam regime was not aware of Al Qaeda presence in Iraq. In fact the documents clearly points out that Zarqawi went to the Sunni areas in Central Iraq before the war and these areas were totally controlled and loyal to Saddam regime and it very hard to imagine that Zarqawi stayed and prepared his terrorist sleepers cells in these Sunni areas without the approval of Saddam regime.
El-Ekhlaas terrorist forum is a password protected so you cannot access the document unless you are registered there as a member.
Below is a partial translation of Al Qaeda document written by “Saif Al Adel”.
… " We started the work and the contact with the leadership, and we began to support and help the leadership again, and this was our goal after we left Afghanistan. We began establishing the fighter groups. On one hand to return to Afghanistan and conduct planned operations there, and on the other hand we began to study the situation of the groups and bothers to find new places for them. After long discussions, brother Abou Mussab with his Palestinian and Jordanian companions decided to go to Iraq because of their dialects they can quickly mix and assimilate in the Iraqi society. Our analysis was that the Americans were going to make the mistake sooner or later to invade Iraq, that this invasion will lead to the fall of the regime, and that we should play an important role in the confrontation and resistance, and that this is our historical chance to establish the Islamic State who will have the biggest role in removing injustice and establish justice in this world allah willing. I was in agreement with brother Abou Mussab regarding this analysis. There were no relation between Al Qaeda and Saddam regime that is worth mentioning, as opposite to what the Americans are saying so they can create excuse and legal justifications according to their laws that they imposed on the world that is enslaved by the West, the Israelis and the Anglo-Saxons.
The plan was to have our brothers enter Iraq from the North, where the road is not controlled y the regime, and then go down South to the Sunni areas where we have some of our brothers. Also the brothers in “Ansar Al Islam” showed their willingness to give us any help to achieve this goal.
The Americans noticed that the Iranians were having a blind eye against our activities in Iran so they began a media attack against Iran accusing them of helping Al Qaeda and international terrorism. The steps taken by the Iranians had confused us and had caused 75% of our plans to fail. Many of our comrades were arrested. 80% of Abou Musaab Al Zarqawi group members were arrested. There should be a quick plan to arrange the escape of Zarqawi and the remaining of his group, the destination was Iraq and the route was the Northern borders between Iraq and Iran. The goal was to reach the Sunni areas in central Iraq and the beginning of the preparation to confront the US invasion and defeat it allah willing. The choice was not arbitrary but a studied one.
When he said goodbye to me leaving for Iraq, Abou Musaab has added a new dimension to his personality. This new dimension focused on punishing the Americans for the crimes that they committed in their bombing of Afghanistan and that he witnessed in his own eyes, the hate and hostility that Abou Mussab had for the Americans guaranteed to form new traits to Abou Musaab personality."
End of partial translation.
I will actually have a LOT of time this summer to help with a project like that. Just pretty busy till then.
I like Ikez 78 idea of having everyone blanket McCains press adviser with the same email.
That interview has helped people to understand what the Clinton administration knew before we invaded Iraq.
If she’s an editor she’ll definitely know about that!
Now we need to think about content...
Let us talk about it tomorrow over the phone if you have some time.
I’m going to stomp out mental illness at 2pm. I am available up till them.
Please give me a call in the morning when you have time. Thank you.
Right, Hillary is on the Senate Committee on Armed Services. She has more experience than Obama when it comes to foreign policy.
Dear Rachel Dean:

Dear America Hating Leftist Traitors,
You have steadfastly maintained ad nauseum that al Qaeda is NOT in Iraq. You forgot to send al Qaeda the message that they are not in Iraq.
Thank you,
Folks who don’t want to get blown up by Islamofascists

Pardon my ignorance, but what is MLA format?
“The Ekhlaas terrorist forum did not show a date on this document because they did not publish the full document. From the text it indicates that it was written by Saif Al Adel after the war in Iraq began. The document is a biography of Zarqawi by Al Adel.”
Thank you Joseph.
I was attempting to determine if the date on the document might tell us something. I am a little surprised that this document is on the website you found it on at this point in time. I presume it was posted as some type of propaganda for the terrorists. The only other thing that might make sense is if the document had been lost until recently. I guess I was wanting to see if there was a way to distinguish which way that ball bounced.
If you find the complete document at some later date, please ping me.
Thank you again FRiend.
Other than the introductory paragraph, if it sounds like a ready to use list of straight to the point one liners (all with citations), it'd be easy to memorize so easy to use, even in response to an unanticipated question.
He could have an aid do a quick fact check, then use the points as the backbone for a number of speeches.
It'd sure be worth a try.
MLA is Modern Language Association. They basically define the proper format for things like research papers, essays, reference citations, etc... They have established a set of rules that define how non-fiction material should be formatted. For example: Indents should alsways be 5 spaces, all text should be double spaced, etc... It seems trivial but for ‘official’ documents its rather important. And if you really study it it’s actually very nit picky about almost everything you could ever type on paper.
Hope that helps!

I will do so.
Took note and responded to A and V. Thanks.
Bump to break through the Obama monopoly of the news.
