Al Qaeda in Iraq issues virulent manifesto (jihad goes on until doomsday)

http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/08/26/alqaeda.book/index.html

Al Qaeda in Iraq issues virulent manifesto
Document calls for violence, destruction of 'American empire'

(CNN) -- The group al Qaeda in Iraq -- which has been behind many of the worst attacks, beheadings, and kidnappings in Iraq -- has issued a manifesto in which it calls for violence and hate for all but "true Muslims."

Shiites do not belong among "true Muslims," the group says, calling their faith "a confession of polytheism and rejectionism."

It also declares: "We vow by the name of God that we are determined to destroy the American empire," adding that the insurgency is stronger than Washington acknowledges.

The document also warns there will be no end to the insurgency.

"The call for jihad goes on until doomsday, whether there is an imam calling for it or not."

4. and stuck in the middle is...
"While part of the document seems to have been written relatively recently, another part refers to to the government of Ayad Allawi, who was interim leader in Iraq until April."

6. Uncle Dick must have made a call to Their Leader, Osama
"Bush needs your help now more than ever, Osama."

"So when are you going to requisition some container nukes for me, Mr. Vice President?"

"Soon, but I need you to make an impact, NOW. Otherwise, no nukes for you."

"OK then, I'll issue an extremely inflammatory statement."

7. I'm afraid this threat has more teeth than most of us realize
.
.
.

Just imagine how many "recruits" there are among the bereaved and wounded, all victims of US aggression in Iraq

toddlers having seen their parents abused, maimed, dismembered and killed by American bombs, munitions and personnel . .

Generations to come will follow this jihad . .

with a vengeance

GW has signed the death warrant for the USA as we know it today

PLEASE . . prove me wrong , ,

(sigh)

8. This is sad. If true (i.e., is anyone else other than CNN reporting
this - I don't believe anything coming from CNN) - they are headed in the wrong direction.

TTheir promise is sad because all chances of peace are totally in the hands and hearts of angry Moslems. They are the ones who can change the world by calling for a truce and peace negotiations and help from other countries on this planet.

Our regime is incapable of it because they are profit and control determined and are going to go the full distance to conquer Iraq - all the clues are there. If pressured to negotiate and they refuse - the can be exposed for the liars, thieves, and killers that they have become.

We have hard headed, stubborn people fighting our hard headed, stubborn regime. And the little people are NEARLY compromised if we allow ourselves to be.

Someone has to convince the Moslems of the power they have in bringing peace to the world. This regime is not in the mood for peace.

11. AQ, more and more, seems an element of some shadowy neocon-agenda
Edited on Fri Aug-26-05 09:15 PM by Skip Intro
they are sooo convenient for cheney's regime, used time and again, currently headed by osama bin laden - "enemy numbe one," once emplyoed by our government, a member of a wealthy oil-rich Saudi family who are great freinds with a wealthy oil-rich Texas family who's son happens to be wearing the title of President of the United States.

:tinfoilhat:

"doomsday" - ???!!!

12. Little Mr. President, we told you it was a wasp pinata.
Something tells me, being separated by oceans, they'll strike the closest enemy. And I don't even like thinking about whom that might be.
