Unlike Nazism where cutting off the head kills the beast, Islam just grows new heads. To slay this monster you have to destroy the body as well as the head and burn any trace of it, or it will come back to life and attack you again.

Still good job for the US, the only country that is showing some conviction in fighting this war on Islam.

In what possible way is the capture of ONE man, who may or maynot be someone of importance be damaging to LIBS???

It isn't going to change anything. The Iraqi parliment is still deadlock over the Sunni boycot. They are still going on vacation when there is important work to do. People are being killed or captured by the hundreds everyday.

And most important of all, it isn't going to make the American people think that Iraq is making progress at all.

In fact, the American people are getting pretty sick and tired of the whole Iraq debacle and they want a change. You can call it defeat or whatever. They don't care. And believe me, those rep up for re-election next year are going to be listening.

Re: "He said al-Mashhadani was a leader of the militant Ansar al-Sunnah group before joining al Qaeda in Iraq 2= years ago."

Why would he quit a legitimate Iraqi resistance group that has the overwhelming support of the Iraqi people and the people of the world, to join a fictional group of foreigners, who have zero support from anyone?

Do you suppose these coalition partners could be smarter than us? Couldn't be, probably they have run out of money and troops and we just haven't run out of money or troops ~ yet.

If, after 4-1/2 years, the best military force in the world still has not been able stablized Iraq, let alone anything more ambitious, it is time to say "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING HERE???"

Following the Bush strategy has brought us right up to the edge of collapse in Iraq. Guys being sent 4 and 5 times back. Guys so badly wounded but unable to be properly cared for because the VA is swamped.

Time for a change in strategy. Change in NOT equivilent to defeat. And only a narrow-minded idiot would think so. Real defeat would be following the same strategy that has brought us to the edge of the cliff right over the top.

Thank you, well said. I have been saying the same thing. Keeping this strategy is a receipe for losing a lot more than Iraq.

For anyone that believes the ridiculous escapades of abu-Mossad al-Zarqawi, whom they have also apparently dug up for this silly article, recall that, 'Zarqawi' was allegedly "killed in a U.S. airstrike in Diyala province in June 2006 and was replaced by al-Masri."

Go have a look at the footage of those airstrikes, and then at the Zarqawi corpse photos. The (2) 500lb laser-guided bombs were shown to have obliterated the "Zarqawi" hideout, yet "Zarqawi" allegedly lived through the bombings for a period, and then died with a wound on his face that looks more like a freezer-burn than a bombing injury.

The 'al-Qaeda-in-Iraq' claims look like pure, fabricated B.S. to me. There is no 'al-Qaeda-in-Iraq'. There never was, and there never will be, in my opinion.

It is the people of Iraq that our soldiers and agents are torturing, raping, soddomizing, raping, maiming, and/or killing, and the people of Iraq have every right to defend themselves against invaders and collaborators.

The Sorrows of Young Dumus, Art. XX:
Successful crime knows nothing of satiety. Both the exhilarating momentum of conquest, and the need to distract the populace from the escape of ibn Shaitan demanded the subjugation of Mesopotamia. In this adventure, the Oligarchs inflexibly pursued two paramount objectives. The first of these was the establishment of a docile client state firmly garrisoned by the Hegemon in the very heart of Dar al-Islam. The second object, urged in part by the thirst for more energy resources (Art.XI), was the complete control of the wealth of the country by the Oligarchy. No sacrifice of the populace, however bloody, and no crime, however brutal, would deter the Oligarchs from these goals. But at the outset, Mesopotamia appeared as a rich fruit, ripe for the plucking. The tyrant, Nur ud Din, had made himself odious to mankind by his blatant cruelties. The strangulation of Mesopotamia by the elder Dumus had impoverished the country and rendered it defenseless, while its reserves of hydrocarbon energy resources were second only to the House of Saaud. Even better, the land could be exploited as a royal demesne with much of the public revenue diverted to the imperial clique of Dumus. The gold, thus plundered, fed a cloud of delators, worm-tongues, and agents of provocation; all dedicated to the extinction of the last embers of freedom within the Hegemon. As a final advantage, Persia could be attacked from the west as well as from the north and east.

Absolutely no one is talking about a surrender. Absolutely no one is suggesting that we do not need to be aware and alert to terrorism. Absolutely no one wants America to become isolationist.
What most thinking Americans are asking, however, is that we get some leadership that has a clue about how to deal with terrorism abroad so it doesn't follow us home, because the present leadership, orchestrated by Cheney, has made sure that the terrorists will follow us home. What most thinking American areasking, isthat we get some leadership that has a clue about how to deal with the threat of terrorism here, because the present leadership, orchestrated by Cheney and Rove, have tried to red herring us out of finding out how really unprepared we are. Of course, we have not had an attack on our soil yet, the Saudi's have not decided it necessary yet.
