Pic Of Alleged Al Qaeda Group Head Shown

U.S. beef went on sale in Japan on Wednesday for the first time since the lifting of a ban imposed in January over mad cow disease. Inspectors on Tuesday opened the way for sales of U.S. beef to resume in the lucrative Japanese market by clearing a 5.1-ton shipment of beef imported from the U.S. (AP Photo/Itsuo Inouye) / file,AP Photo

The Iraqi government for the first time has displayed a picture of a man it says is the purported leader of an al Qaeda front group.

An Iraqi military spokesman showed the picture of a bearded man in a black T-shirt at a news conference on Tuesday. Maj. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi claims it's Abu Omar al-Baghdadi but gave no other proof of identity.

Iraq's government announced al-Baghdadi's capture last week but the claim met with skepticism due to similar announcements that proved false.

The arrest of the head of the Islamic State of Iraq could mark a setback to insurgents trying to intensify attacks after a relative lull.

Al-Moussawi says al-Baghdadi was arrested April 23 and security forces are trying to glean information from him.

We went to Iraq, with the full blessing of Congress, to clean up a mess we had created when we installed Hussein to power and the same with the Bin Laden agenda. We armed and financed both in their rise to power. It was after they become useless to us that it was time to eliminate them. And to say that Iraq was a failure, the people there don't think so. Hussein had embarked on his own version of ethinic cleansing killing over 600K of his own people, he had to be stopped. Posted by edward1975-2009

If we were minding our own business this would not have ever happened?

So actually we created these scenerios with other countries. Now we have to clean up the mess we made. So therefore it's now wrong for other countries to look at us the way they do? We should not be putting our noses into other countries businesses it wouldn't cost us so much to correct them.

Livinontheedge: Maybe it's time to come back to reality. You wish to be against the invasion of Iraq, that's your right. But this sorry rhetoric of it being illegal is nonsense. As far as it being safer, hasn't been an attack since 9/11.

Your comments belittle the sacrifice that our service men and woman have made to fulfill the mission they were given.

No, more like, oh say pre-WWII, pre-Shah, or even pre-CIA


Stop drinking the cool aid. WWII, the Shah and the CIA didn't create the Muslim Jihad. All of Europe would have fallen under the Muslim sword if it wasn't for the French, Christion Spaniards, Poles, Austrians, and a hodgepodge fleet thrown together by a Pope. You need to read a history book that goes back farther than your own life time.
