Fallujans deny al-Zarqawi in their midst

[Geo55]

"The American invader forces claim that al-Zarqawi, and with him a group of Arab fighters, are in our city," a masked man read from a piece of paper on Friday.



"We know that this talk about al-Zarqawi and the fighters is a game the American invader forces are playing to strike Islam and Muslims in the city of mosques, steadfast Falluja."

Obviously , they would say this.....true/not ?

[SKKY]

1. Of course he's in Falluja...

They're protecting him, which is why he's made it this long. When these guys loose their protection/support base, they're done (Saddam Hussein??). Why is this guy who's reading the statement masked? That's the question I'm asking myself. Why doesn't he want to be recognized? If al-Zarqawi ISN'T in Falluja, what's the danger of this guy being recognized? Hmmmm...

[Geo55]

2. if you were fighting people occupying

your country....would you want them to know your face?

[stickdog]

8. Unless he had plastic surgery recently,

they already know what Zarqawi looks like.

Try again.

Of course, he's probably long dead so the point is moot.

11. I didn't say it was Zarqawi n/t

4. So why would you assume it HAS to be himself in the photo, behind the mask

which could also conceal everyone ELSE in the world, most especially someone pretending to be the man, for pro-_Bush propaganda purposes?

[Ms. Clio]

5. Of course he's not

Your post makes little sense (Saddam Hussein is in custody, remember???). I don't believe al-Zarqawi is in Iraq at all--who is he, anyway? And why trust the same people who told us that Saddam had WMDs and the Iraqis would welcome us with flowers?

7. Iraq is there protection/support base

"When these guys loose their protection/support base, they're done"

Just like Viet Nam. A popular resistance can't be defeated, just delayed at tremendous expense.

[leftchick]

10. hey scotty... have you read this?

according to the organizers of the Iraqi Resistance 10% are "foreign fighters". The rest are Iraqis who want the US occupiers out of Iraq as was predicted to happen long before the US invaded.... It does not support idiotface*s constant mantra of al-zarqawi and "al-qaeda" in Iraq now does it... :eyes:


'The liberation of Baghdad is not far away'
By Alix de la Grange

<snip>As we have foreseen, strategic zones fell quickly under control of the Americans and their allies. For our part, it was time to execute our plan. Opposition movements to the occupation were already organized. Our strategy was not improvised after the regime fell." This plan B, which seems to have totally eluded the Americans, was carefully organized, according to these officers, for months if not years before March 20, 2003, the beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

The objective was "to liberate Iraq and expel the coalition. To recover our sovereignty and install a secular democracy, but not the one imposed by the Americans. Iraq has always been a progressive country, we don't want to go back to the past, we want to move forward. We have very competent people," say the three tacticians. There will be of course no names as well as no precise numbers concerning the clandestine network. "We have sufficient numbers, one thing we don't lack is volunteers."

<snip>But the most efficient weapon remains the Kamikazes. A special unit, composed of 90% Iraqis and 10% foreign fighters, with more than 5,000 solidly-trained men and women, they need no more than a verbal order to drive a vehicle loaded with explosives.

What if the weapons' reserves dwindle? "No worries, for some time we have been making our own weapons." That's all they are willing to
disclose.

3. What do you expect filthy Terra-ists to say?

Lets just bombem and then sort it out!

/end disgusting freeper impersonation

6. My read

of this suggests the masked man, a resistance fighter, is not denying resistance; he's decrying the "spin" the bush camp is trying to make, stating this resistance is tied to al_Zarqawai; hence, AQ. the m/m is clarifying that this is an IRAQI resistance to a foreign invasion.


personally, i think the zark is a bogeyman invented or inflated by the cabal to deflect inquiry about OBL.

[Eloriel]

9. Yup, that theory has some credibility, IMO

Esp. since Zarqawi was supposedly DEAD already, months ago.

[Disturbed]

12. Keepin' it simple...

for the simpletons. BushCo and the Media need a "bad guy" for the TV generation. Zargawi is the latest "bad guy". Faluja is the "new" Warsaw Ghetto.

The US Puppet Govt. will fail because the Iraqis know colonialism when they experience it. Most Americans are mushrooms.
