Iraq Qaeda claims rocket attack in Jordan port-Web

DUBAI, Aug 23 (Reuters) - Iraq's al Qaeda said on Tuesday it was behind a failed rocket attack on U.S. Navy ships in Jordan's Red Sea port of Aqaba, according to an Internet statement.

The group, led by Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, said those who carried out the strike last Friday had fled to safety.

"Your brothers in the al Qaeda Organisation in Iraq have been planning the Aqaba raid for a while," the group said in a statement posted on an Islamist Internet site it often uses.

"The rockets were fired at their targets -- a group of ships belonging to the crusader American forces -- in Aqaba and Eilat.

1. Iraq Qaeda? Iraq Qaeda?
Sorry for the language so early in the day, but what the F**K is Iraq Qaeda?

Does this mean we have:
Saudia Al Qaeda?
Afghaniqaeda?
Pakistaeda?
Ameriqaeda?
Great Britaqaeda?

2. Iraq's al Queda ?
Is this a new recognition of the fact that through his program of Imperial "nation building" and "oil grabbing" our well-vacationed pResident has caused al Queda to re-locate to Iraq?

Wow, cool Global Strategergy. Not.
