| Fallujah Resistance Gave US Troops Three-Day Grace Period to Remove Checkpoints |
| 2004-05-25 |
| From Jihad Unspun Earlier in the week, the Iraqi Resistance in the city of al-Fallujah gave US aggressor forces a grace period of three days, ending on Friday, 21 May, during which time they were to removed all their checkpoints and roadblocks around the city. Resistance fighters had noticed the Americans setting up checkpoints to the north, east, and west of the city and therefore sent word to the American invaders telling them that they needed to remove such roadblocks before the end of Friday congregational prayers at midday on 21 May. To demonstrate that the Resistance threats are in earnest, the Resistance fighters destroyed an American tank, killing all the aggressor troops who were aboard it west of al-Fallujah on Wednesday. This attack compelled the US invaders to remove their troops from some of the checkpoints and to take down the earthen embankments they had set up at those locations. ... The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam in al-Fallujah reported late on Friday that US aggressor forces were re-establishing their checkpoints on the al-Fallujah bridge east of the city, the point considered to be the main entrance to al-Fallujah. .... This measure is regarded as a new provocation by the US invaders who clearly are trying to damage the morale of the Resistance fighters in the city, Mafkarat al-Islamâs correspondent writes. Amid these developments, al-Fallujah residents ask whatever happened to the so-called Islamic Party of Iraq, a party that collaborates with the US invaders but which helped to broker the cease fire that allowed for the lifting of the US siege on the city. The resurrection of US checkpoints leading into the city are in clear violation of the cease fire agreement. The latest US measure has moved al-Fallujah residents to wonder if the cease fire was in fact nothing more than a means to allow the Americans to extract themselves from a no-win situation as they besieged a defiant city and took heavy losses in the process, and indeed to rescue themselves from an eventual defeat. Iraqi Resistance fighters in al-Fallujah on Friday destroyed an American tank by firing three rocket-propelled grenades at it after sunset. The Resistance had observed the tank north of al-Fallujah in the area of the railroad tracks. The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam in al-Fallujah reported that this attack was the first Resistance attack by the al-Fallujah Resistance fighters after the end of the grace period they had given the US aggressor forces during which time they were supposed to take down their barriers and checkpoints around the city. That grace period ended with the Friday congregational prayers at midday. The Resistance had threatened that if the Americans did not remove their barricades by that time, they (the Resistance) would begin attacking the invaders. |

| #10 Well, when Islamic pseudo-men-who-deserve-to-die--you know, the ones who are (constantly) trying to "assert" their (nonexistent) masculinity?--come up against the American soldier, who's a real man, they go into severe psychological shock. And the American soldier just has a gun, most of the time. Can you imagine the shock they experience when they see an Abrams ? Ha! Bet they never (ever) get over it! Their little "news" stories are pathetic attempts to compensate. ed: Yes, they do sit all night in darkened caves and think up this crap--and their "prophet" 'Ham-Mud was the biggest liar of all, so it follows that they'll do the same. I almost hope "the Resistance" attacks the Marines again, so we can blow them all away and be done with it. |

#9 and took heavy losses in the processI can tell they're lying - their lips are moving. The jihadis are the ones taking heavy losses. What a bunch of useless wankers. Give 'em some lead poisoning and send them on to their 72 devils in hell. |

| #8 The joke here is the claim to have destroyed an Abrams with 3 (count'em three) RPG's. No F**king way! The could have fired 300 to the same effect -- they'd all bounce off. You need a serious weapon (depleted uranium and a lot of propellant) to penetrate the armor on an Abrams. |

| #3 I think Kimmy sent his best news team to cover things in Falosera. Good thing they gave us that 'grace' period or our troops would have missed the Presidents speech. Nothing wrong here that some well placed munitions won't cure. |

| #2 In other news, an old Iraqi man glared at US troops, who then caused a massive traffic jam as they tried to flee from the city to the nearest port or air port abandoning much equipment to the glorious ass-hat Moon Cult rebels. Film at eleven! Sure habib, I'm sure thats exactly what happened. |

| #1 Do these idiots sit all night in a darkened room thinking up this crap, or does the Koran instruct them to lie, lie, lie? Oh, right, it's the Koran. Ishaq:519 âHajjaj said to the Apostle, âI have money scattered among the Meccan merchants, so give me permission to go and get it.â Having got Muhammadâs permission, he said, âI must tell lies.â The Apostle said, âTell them.ââ Ishaq:365/Tabari VII:94 âMuhammad bin Maslamah said, âO Messenger, we shall have to tell lies.â âSay what you like,â Muhammad replied. âYou are absolved, free to say whatever you must.ââ Bukhari:V5B59N369 âAllahâs Apostle said, âWho is willing to kill Kaâb bin Ashraf who has hurt Allah and His Apostle?â Thereupon Muhammad bin Maslamah got up saying, âO Allahâs Apostle! Would you like me to kill him?â The Prophet said, âYes,â Maslamah said, âThen allow me to say false things in order to deceive him.â The Prophet said, âYou may say such things.ââ |
