TIKRIT, Iraq (Reuters) - Insurgents overran a police post near Saddam Hussein's home town on Tuesday, hauled 12 men outside and shot them in a dramatic show of force, a day after Osama bin Laden declared holy war on the U.S.-backed election.

The dawn massacre in Tikrit, where the guerrillas also blew up the police station, was the bloodiest in a spate of attacks in Iraq's Sunni minority heartlands north of Baghdad; at least five other policemen were killed and several National Guards.

1. "Really I'm not that concerned about Bin Laden"

[LynnTheDem]

2. "I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care."

"It's not that important. It's not our priority."

4. Bin laden, Who?

[LynnTheDem]

3. Transparent Attempt

By the NYT to establish a cause and effect relationship between OBL and Iraqi resitance.

[Tempest]

5. Correct

This kind of thing has been going on daily.

[HereSince1628]

6. Agreed, but sadly it will probably work.

Reason was left behind years ago.

7. Good call!

11. So it is your claim

That OBL has no influence or connection with the insurgency in Iraq ?

[ilovenicepeople]

13. It's my claim to

wait until OBL or Zarqawi prove that they are actually alive and working together to further "THEIR" agenda (that being to legitamize a pre-emptive war against a country that did not attack the country that is worshipping its EGO of DEATH) Until that time I will be chalking this up as further propaganda to help the stupid masses preen themselves with Luciferian Luster.

9. Zaraqwi wasn't approved by al Qaeda until AFTER bush's invasion of Iraq

But hey, only the Reality-Based Community (50% of America and 98% the rest of the entire world) cares about facts, anyways.

10. Why never any mention that bin Laden once worked for the CIA?

That would seem like an important piece to this puzzle.
