DUBAI: The head of an al Qaeda-led group in Iraq said the country has become a "university of terrorism" producing highly qualified warriors since the 2003 US-led invasion.

In an audio recording posted on the internet, Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, leader of the self-styled Islamic State in Iraq, said his fighters were successfully confronting US forces in Iraq and have begun producing a guided missile called al-Quds 1 or Jerusalem 1.

"The largest batch of soldiers for jihad. . . in the history of Iraq are graduating and they have the highest level of competence in the world," Baghdadi said.

"From the military point of view, one of the (enemy) devils was right in saying that if Afghanistan was a school of terror, then Iraq is a university of terrorism," said the leader of the group set up last year by al Qaeda's Iraq wing and some other Sunni groups.

1. So al Qaeda is making these statement for world consumption?!

This is a no brainer. The bushies were not smart enought to figure this possibility out. Most on this site, and for sure I am not a brainstein, realized that our invasion of Iraq could produce this kind of reaction from the terrorist.

Yet bush continues to say we are fighting them over there so we don't fight them here, ugh. Our country looks like idiots are running it and even the terrorist know this.

The bushies have lied to us and we fell for his bs and that makes our country look extremely dumb. It is time to get rid of the republicans in every area of government for at least 15 years to get rid of the stupid.

Saw Grover, Norquist that is, this a.m. on c-span and just felt sick. He had a couple of dorks behind him grinning with the Norquist sinning comments and jokes. Grover was making some radical statements about the taxing of the rich. Ya, if one makes millions in one year running a corrupt corporation like Insurance, Pharmaceutical, weapons, etc. they need to pay for the priviledge of running our country 'cause that is what is happening. We the people damn sure don't.

Edit: Course this Baghdadi person is suspect, ya think? Still, this banter is due to the idiocy of the bushies. It appears to be a game of who is the most radical, the bushies or the al qaeda types, or wanna bees.
