Swamp TV--U.S. nabs top Iraqi in al Qaeda

Someone in the Al Qaeda safe haven in Pakistan just got promoted.

Here's a link to a great video on our young Republic chicken hawks.

This is hilarious.

They caught this guy about two weeks ago.
I'm not surprised that they waited until exactly ONE DAY after the Senate held an all night debate about W.'s civil war in Iraq to announce this "great capture", it keeps the faithful 28% scared to death.

Al-Qaeda only accounts for about 3% of the violence in Iraq, so it figures that W. and Little Dick would start playing the Al-Qaeda FEAR CARD again. They want to keep this war going until Jan 09.

And he'll be nabbed a couple more times again in the next 12 or 18 months.

Pity we have to think that way but it's what we've learned to do from past experience.

Hmm. This guy was captured on July 4th!! Today is July 19th and we are just hearing of it.

Thanks Loon:

The few the proud the I gotz, an ouwie!

Like dubya the deserter and 5 deferrment darth - nothing is impossible for the chickenhawk who doesn't have to do it.

Doug is back to full Doogie mode. Yo Doogie and the rest of the real chickenhawks, most in the military come from conservative Republican families, come from the
"red" states and are Christian, and usually of the Christian Right. So, who are the real chickenhawks? And is Slick Willie a Chickenhawk then in your definition? I mean he bombed and went to war and he ran away from the military too?
And worthless John E., please provide some proof that Al Qaeda is "only 3 percent of the violence in IRaq."

Loon,

Hilarious, yet frightening. Like Jay-Walk Allstars meets Jesus Camp.

Better to be a chicken hawk than a chicken. Don't believe it? Ask any chicken.

BiFF,

How many times do I have to repeat myself to you?
IRAQ IS IN A CIVIL WAR....and we (USA) are an OCCUPPYING FORCE!

Historically, countries don't like to be OCCUPPIED, would you like it if it was being done here?

I don't see any of these so called "Al-Qaeda guys" wearing uniforms or name tags, do you?

Johnnny E., please explain how Iraq is in civil war. You Lefties keep saying that, but that is not the reality. Hmmm, just the today, headlines read Sunnie return to Iraq parliamentary. You have each Iraqi faction part of the military and government. It may not be the happiest relationship, but most of the factions are together.
Al Qaeda has been behind much of the bombings, trying to pit Shia against Sunni. And to some extent it has worked. Problem is, both Shia and Sunni are tired of being killed by Al Qaeda folks helping Shia kill Sunni and Sunni kill Shia. Both groups are now helping the U.S. military and Iraqi military against the Al Qaeda troublemakers.
So, John E., how about thinking for once, opening your mind and listening? Rather than spending all your free time and efforts snooping into my life, use that energy to learn something, OK? Believe me, it'll do you wonders!

The most startling example was his insistence that Al Qaeda is primarily responsible for the country's spiraling violence. Only a week before Mr. Bush said this, the American military spokesman on the scene, Maj. Gen. William Caldwell, called Al Qaeda "extremely disorganized" in Iraq, adding that "I would question at this point how effective they are at all at the state level." Military intelligence estimates that Al Qaeda makes up only 2 percent to 3 percent of the enemy forces in Iraq, according to Jim Miklaszewski of NBC News. The bottom line: America has a commander in chief who can't even identify some 97 percent to 98 percent of the combatants in a war that has gone on longer than our involvement in World War II.

Of course, anytime juanD sees facts he doesn't like, he merely dismisses them as evidence of liberal bias, or simply insults the person that posted them. But it never hurts to show the truth anyways.

"BAGHDAD, Iraq--Americans keen to understand the ongoing struggle for a new Iraq can be guided by the example of their own history. In the 1860s, your country fought a great struggle of its own, a civil war that took hundreds of thousands of lives but ended in the triumph of freedom and the birth of a great power. Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation signaled the destruction of the terrible institution of slavery, and the rise of a country dedicated, more than any other in the world of nation-states then and hence, to the principle of human liberty.

Our struggle in Iraq is similar to the great American quest, and is perhaps even more complicated."

"We have entered into a war, I want it known, against militias that had preyed upon the weakness of the national government and in the absence of law and order in some of our cities, even in some of the districts in Baghdad, imposed their own private laws--laws usually driven by extremism and a spirit of vengeance. Some of these militias presented themselves as defenders of their own respective communities against other militias. We believe that the best way to defeat these militias is to build and enhance the capabilities of our government as a defender of the rights of our citizens. A stable government cannot coexist with these militias."

NOURI AL-MALIKI June 13, 2007

Prime Minister Al-Maliki presumably understands what's going on in Iraq, don't you think?

He says it's a civil war, He admits they are fighting Iraqi based militias. Why don't you?
