More Action In Chechnya As Count Dooku Pledges More Operations During Ramadan
2007-09-25
Jihad Unspun. Salt to taste.
Moderator note: this is how you trim a JU article.
Just as “success” in Iraq is a myth, so is the ‘war is over” propaganda in Chechnya as the Mujahideen continue on the steadfast path with more attacks reported as Chechen President Dokku Umarov released a Ramadan statement on the state of affairs in the Caucasus.

According to reports from Qoqaz on September 10, 2007, a Russian official and 3 other soldiers were killed in Najiorot. The unit of Commander “Maqrabi” the leader in the Najirot quarter destroyed a military Jeep (Wazak) that was carrying a Russian officer along with three of his soldiers. All on board were killed in this operation that comes after careful tracking.

Officer Killed In Vendeno
In Vedeno, the intelligence of the Mujahideen tracked a house of one of the Chechens, where a Russian officer frequented to drink and gamble with his friend. Immediately, Commander Taifoon, one of the leaders of the Vedeno quarter, along with his assistant went to the house, raided it and killed the Russian officer. As for the owner of the house he accepted his mistake and declared his repentance and regret. He was released.

President Dokku Umarov, Assures The Steadfastness Of The Mujahideen And More Operations In Ramadan
Guess the check from Arabia cleared, huh?
President Dokku Umarov in a letter directed to the Muslim Ummah on the occasion of the blessed month of Ramadan that operations of the Mujahideen and their steadfastness in the face of the Russian occupation would continue. He said that the daily operations of the Mujahideen against the Russian army are harvesting what is unimaginable in lives and equipment. The greatest evidence for this, Umarov said is the banning of the media and preventing journalists from entering Chechnya, in fear that the world will see the failure that Russian army.

Chechen President Umarov also called on the Muslims Ummah, especially during the blessed month of Ramadan to stand by the Chechen issue and the Chechen Muslim nation who has chosen freedom and Islam over slavery and Russian imperialism that has resulted in occupation and the exile of its people.

Gotta love that predictive text thing. Sometimes it even gets it right.

#18  Its good to see that spike is back in form today.

I'd appreciate it if smart guy would troll without taunting my name though.

#16  He'd better not be, HalfEmpty. If you're right, the moderators will ban him again, and I'll feel as gullible as I did the last couple of times I mistakenly stood up for a troll.

#15  He's gaming you TW.

#14  All true. And Mike S., you're very good at not being a tendentious idiot when you want. ;-) Unintentionally rubbing people the wrong way on occasion due to the difficulties of non-face-to-face communication (like my own unintentionally egregious tactlessness more often than I would like), is not at all the same thing.

#13  I meant to say that #9 is really true.

#10 and #11 disappeared for a while and then reappeared.

#12  That's really true.

#11  Rantburg is a great website, where arguments and ridicule are shared, tolerated, indulged and enjoyed. The moderators themselves have thick skins, and so they are a good example for all Rantburgers. This is a website with a wide variety of opinions and perspectives.

#9  A few slip through, those are quickly purged.

#8  Moderator: Mike, don't be a tendentious idiot. At least, don't do it if you want to continue to enjoy the privilege of posting on Fred's site.

It would be a tragedy if Rantburg began allowing comments to be posted by tendentious idiots. Thank God that the moderators vigilantly stand guard against that remote but real possibility.

#7  ppl sure are getting mighty snippy on the comments lately

#6  Dr. Steve for once forgot to check the original, which was concise enough to post untrimmed. It's a nice little judgement call thingy. I try to err on the side of trimming, assuming that anyone who wants to read the entire thing can click through to the original. Mike S, you did that beautifully with that PDF document yesterday. (I didn't click through because I badly needed a nap, but I appreciated the exerpt.)

Cordially but pointedly,

#4  Moderator: this is how you trim a JU article.

OK, from now on I will follow Fred's example by posting 100% of a JU article. I will include every single word, just like Fred did here.

#3  but SW, trimming took all the stuff Sylwester likes out of it, the flowery pro-Islam stuff....

#2  Totten always boasts about his Muslim friends---the fact that he believes that they're his friends proves that he understands diddly.

#1  Another reason why TOTTEN is premature to say AQ = Radical Islamism has "lost".
