| Web shows Iraqis joining forces with al-Qaida |
| 2006-10-13 |
| A Web video posted late Thursday showed Iraqi insurgents conducting a traditional ritual to join forces with tribal chiefs under an umbrella group that includes al-Qaida. The two-minute video shows six men wearing long white robes and headdresses, sitting in a circle on the floor. They reach out and dip their hands into a bowl of liquid simultaneously. The footage was stamped with the emblem of the Mujahedeen Shura Council, an umbrella organization of insurgent groups that include al-Qaida in Iraq. All the figures in the video have their faces concealed, and they do not identify themselves or their factions. |

| #1 Either they want freedom and democracy or they are the terrorist enemy. How will future generations look at our alliances with Pakistan, Shiite-Iraq and Pashto-Afghanistan? The Tokyo fire bombing, the nuking of Hiroshims and Nagasaki, the flattening of Dresden and government sections of Hanoi, are all exemplaries of mass killing. We get accused of doing it anyway, in spite of our restraint in war. I am in the 'fifties generation. Why do you young people have a problem with mass killing? If it is necessary, I sure the hell don't. Think like this: enemy life is cheap. |
