| Al-Qaeda releases video of "Top 10" attacks on US in Iraq |
| 2005-08-10 |
| A video showing a so-called "Top Ten" of bloody attacks against US forces in Iraq that were claimed by Al-Qaeda-linked groups appeared on an Islamist web site Wednesday. The 17-minute video is aimed at "those who like to see American crusader blood flowing," said the group calling itself the Islam Media Front which said it posted the footage. One segment shows American soldiers' bodies torn to pieces in an attack near the Syrian border that was claimed by the Al-Qaeda Organisation in the Land of Two Rivers (Iraq), the group of Iraq's most wanted man Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Another shows a US helicopter that was shot down and reduced to shreds of metal by a group calling itself the Islamic Army of Iraq. Yet another scene shows seven US soldiers whose bodies were pulverised in a landmine explosion, before other US soldiers come to collect their remains. The scenes are backed by an audiotrack of Koranic chants, war cries and calls of "Allahu Akhbar" (God is Greatest). The makers of the video call on their sympathisers to "spread the video on foreign forums so that Americans will be ashamed of themselves at the weakness of their army." Al-Qaeda-linked groups regularly use web sites to distribute shocking footage of kidnappings and slayings as a tactic to increase the psychological impact of their attacks. |

| #2 That's it! Calling for all video of C-130's bombing the jihadis, any on the ground video of us shooting it up with the jihadis (even in mosques), etc. These goons need to be taught a lesson. Let's get Michael Yon a video camera to film our guys in their next staged roadside bombing shooting up the jihadis who come to celebrate (w/ AK-47s in tow, no less)! Maybe we could set up a separate section (a'la Thugburg) w/ links to any US videos there may be out there (I'm sure Fred doesn't wanna host video himself, so we could just collect links). |

| #1 "spread the video on foreign forums so that Americans will be ashamed of themselves at the weakness of their army." To make our Army stonger, we need to follow allen and blow up children? Or would it help to use mentally disabled folks and canines to self-destruct? Mebbe we just all need frontal lobotomies? Eat sh*t, three meals a day, and live forever. In hell, that is. |
