Al Qaeda leader and unapologetic mass murderer Ayman al-Zawahiri releases a video bragging about how the 800 suicide bombings in Iraq have “broken the back” of America. FOX, CNN and the rest of the MSM run stories making sure the American news consumer knows what Al Qaeda wants us to know. It is with some irony that the Iraqi Government response to this latest evidence of terrorist self-delusion gets coverage by China View.
Iraq responds to Zawahri videotape: BAGHDAD, April 29 (Xinhua) -- Iraq's Interior Ministry responded on Saturday to the al-Qaida's No. 2 leader who issued a video saying that hundreds of suicide bombings in Iraq have "broken the back" of the U.S. military.The Al Qaeda leadership are educated intelligent people who understand that taking credit for muslims killing muslims is bad public relations. What the media is missing is that much of the violence in the region is purely to achieve political power and that means blowing up mosques and fellow followers of the Prophet, when needed.
The ministry said in a statement that a total of 500 out of 800 suicide operations that Zawahri mentioned in his videotape were carried out against Iraqi civilians in mosques, churches, popular markets, schools and government buildings, aiming at sparking sectarian strife among Iraqis. The statement said that more than 100 suicide operations were carried out against Iraqi security forces, while some 104 suicide operations were foiled by Iraqi security forces.
This is a reality the 5 Democrat Congressmen Arrested outside the Sudan Embassy need to understand. A quick review of Conflict History: Sudan, shows the country has been at some level of civil war almost continually since becoming independent in 1956. The American press is selling a version of the latest flare-up in violence as an Arab government committing genocide against Black Africans. This may not be a completely accurate characterization of what is clearly a horribly violent tragedy.
5 Truths About Darfur: 1 Nearly everyone is Muslim, 2 Everyone is black, 3 It's all about politics, 4 This conflict is international, 5 The "genocide" label made it worse.The Democrats should remember from the 9-11 Commission Report that Dr. Hassan al-Turabi is the person who nurtured Osama bin Laden and “urged him to transplant his whole organization to Sudan”.
Although analysts have emphasized the racial and ethnic aspects of the conflict in Darfur, a long-running political battle between Sudanese President Omar Hassan Bashir and radical Islamic cleric Hassan al-Turabi may be more relevant. … Meanwhile, Sudan is China's fourth-biggest supplier of imported oil, and that relationship carries benefits. China, which holds veto power in the U.N. Security Council, has said it will stand by Sudan against U.S. efforts.
Hassan al-Turabi: According to Ugandan columnist Abdul-Raheem Tajudeen, writing in New Vision newspaper, "Darfur is a victim of the split within the National Islamic Front personified by detained former spiritual leader of the organisation, Dr Hassan al-Turabi and his former protege, General Omar al-Bashir, the president. "Al-Turabi’s support is very strong in Darfur, and because of that Darfur is enemy territory for the government".
If Reps. Tom Lantos of California, James McGovern and John Olver of Massachusetts, James Moran of Virginia, and Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas want to be involved with this regional tragedy, then they should be very careful to keep their focus entirely upon humanitarian relief. Al-Qaeda sympathizers started this most recent rebellion that the Sudanese government is violently repressing. In my opinion, any congressional member providing political support for Al-Qaeda linked militia violence crosses the line into treason.
