Al Qaida Leader Caught in Iraq

[red states rule]

Like all the other false milestones we've been given so far we'll just have to wait a few weeks and see if this makes any difference in the situation in Iraq.

If it does then we should just be that much closer to completing our mission in Iraq according to the timetable that Democrats have layed out.

Nothing like support libs show for the troops and the war

This is why Dems are so anxious to get their surrender bill passed - the last thing they want is for progress to be made in Iraq

Iran is helping the terrorists in Iraq

Quit tap dancing. YOU said that Iran was helping Al Qaeda. Do you stand by that statement or would you like to retract it?

He's got to listen to Rush before he can answer that MM. RSR can't think for himself. He's got to tune into his favorite self-aggrandizing blowhard to see what today's talking points are!

With Al Qaeda looking for someone to take over the top spot they could make things easier by offering the job to mayne Reid, Pelosi, or Murtha

Since they want to surrender to terrorists anyway - it would save time for everyone concerned

Al Qaeda Bombs Found at Iraq Girls School, Media Couldn't Care Less
Posted by Noel Sheppard on May 4, 2007 - 10:05.
Are the media intentionally downplaying or ignoring reports that indicate a growing al Qaeda involvement in Iraq?

Late Thursday evening, CNN.com reported (h/t LGF, emphasis added):

American soldiers discovered a girls school being built north of Baghdad had become an explosives-rigged "death trap," the U.S. military said Thursday.”

This was a compilation of a report that CNN’s Wolf Blitzer did earlier in the day on “The Situation Room.”

However, Stars and Stripes actually reported Tuesday that military officials shared this information on Monday (emphasis added):

U.S. soldiers in Baghdad have found and defused “numerous” improvised explosives planted in a school for girls that was set to reopen later this month, military officials said Monday.

So, four days have passed, and with the exception of one CNN report and one short UPI article Thursday, no other American media outlet has covered this story. Is it possible that this final sentence in the Stars and Stripes article is the reason:

U.S. officials attributed the planted explosives to members of al-Qaida in Iraq.

In fact, the UPI report conveniently omitted this little detail.

For its part, CNN did include it at its website, and handled it thusly on “The Situation Room”:

MAJ. GEN. WILLIAM CALDWELL, MULTI-NATIONAL FORCE, IRAQ: And, Wolf, as we've gone through and removed these artillery shells from the school, we -- as I said, they were in the ceilings, which would have caused, you know, the explosion down and caused the other floors to cave in. They were found in the floors. They were at the doors to the classrooms, where the children -- the girls -- would have been in. I mean it was truly just an incredibly ugly, dirty kind of vicious killing that would have gone on here by al Qaeda.

WOLF BLITZER, HOST: Oh, you suspect al Qaeda was responsible for this plot?

CALDWELL: Well, we do. We do, because of the nature in which this thing had been put together, the sophistication in which it would have been pulled and laid out.

Any ideas why the media would ignore this?

An interesting question ... IS Iran helping al Qaeda? The chances appear to be better than average, IMO.

Sec. Gates: Proof Iran Is Helping Terrorists in Iraq

Serial numbers and markings on explosives used in Iraq provide "pretty good" evidence that Iran is providing either weapons or technology for militants there, Defense Secretary Robert Gates asserted Friday.

Offering some of the first public details of evidence the military has collected, Gates said, "I think there's some serial numbers, there may be some markings on some of the projectile fragments that we found," that point to Iran.

At the same time, however, he said he was somewhat surprised that recent raids by coalition and Iraqi forces in Iraq swept up some Iranians.

Just last week, Gates said that U.S. military officers in Baghdad were planning to brief reporters on what is known about Iranian involvement in Iraq but that he and other senior administration officials had intervened to delay the briefing in order to assure that the information provided was accurate.

I guess that's it MM.

It is the way it is simply because RSR says it is period!

It doesn't matter if it can't be proven now does it?

BTW these are the same people who have been lying to us about Iraq for four years now so they have a lot of credibility don't they?

Pentagon: al-Qaida Operative Captured

Apr 27 11:24 AM US/Eastern
By ROBERT BURNS
AP Military Writer


WASHINGTON (AP) - The Pentagon announced Friday the capture of one of al-Qaida's most senior and most experienced operatives, an Iraqi who was trying to return to his native country when he was captured.
Bryan Whitman, a Pentagon spokesman, said the captive is Abd al-Hadi al-Iraqi. He was received by the Pentagon this week from the CIA, Whitman said, but the spokesman would not say where or when al-Iraqi was captured or by whom.

The Pentagon described Al-Iraqi as an associate of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden and as someone who may have been targeting Westerners outside of Iraq.

The Pentagon took custody of al-Iraqi at Guantanamo Bay, the detention center for terror suspects, Whitman said. He is the 15th so-called high-value detainee to be taken to Guantanamo Bay after being held by the CIA in secret prisons abroad. The other 14 were sent to Guantanamo Bay last September and have since undergone military hearings there to affirm their status as enemy combatants eligible for military trials.

Whitman said al-Iraqi was believed responsible for plotting cross- border attacks from Pakistan on U.S. forces in Afghanistan, and that he led an effort to assassinate Pakistan's president, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, as well as unspecified officials of the United Nations.

Hey RSR....it's been a couple days since your little premature orgasm over the captured Al Qaeda operative in Iraq. I've been watching and reading the news hoping for some sign that this was a signifigant turning point in the situation over there but nothing seems to have changed.

Could it be that at this point we're screwed no matter what because our very presence there is creating ten more Al Qaeda operatives for every one we capture or kill?

Could it be that this is why your so called "liberal" media doesn't make too much of all this "good news" (meaningless milestones) in Iraq? Maybe the media chooses to stick a little closer to the truth which is.....even when news from Iraq is "good" it's still bad?

BTW....how many soldiers did we loose yesterday.

Bet you have no idea right?

Iran is helping the shiites in Iraq. AQ is a sunni organization.... do you understand that saying that Iran is backing Al Qaeda is NOT a truthful statement or do you just not really care?

I am smart enough to know that a shiite persian country with close ties to shiites in Iraq would NOT support an organization of sunni arabs that are killing those shiites in Iraq.

Why would you think such a silly thing? Why would you think for a moment that persian shiites whould give aid to arab sunnis who are killing their allies?
