#2 So now Osama has some Furqars forming a Furqan Army to bail him out?

Lotsa Furqan luck with that Osama.

#3 The Furqans were always associated with "Al-Qaeda in Iraq." They ran a website in English until last June. Most Iraqis view that Saudi/London based group as outside agitators, who put civilians in jeopardy. This means: yet another failure for bin Laden, the world's worst loser.

#4 You know twas must be OWG becuz/when even the Islamists want a COMMISSION. OSAMA's CALL > LIKELY MEANS INTENSIFICATION OF DIRECT ATTACKS ON US UNITS PER SE, to kill US soldiers AMAP, AND ONLY US SOLDIERS, vv experience of Israel's IDF in Lebanon 2006 + espec reports of USG budgetary and DOLLAR troubles. IOW, OSAMA WANTS BIG B-I-G BBBBIIIIIIIIGGGGGGG GOVT INCLUDING A DRAFT IN CASH-DEFICIENT? AMERIKA, BY "ANY MEANS NECESSARY".

In any case, iff AL-QAEDA = RADICAL ISLAM does indeed possess WMDS, they will prob use 'em via Terror proxies once a US-IRAN WAR occurs, ala "justified" anti-US "retaliation".

#5 Even an Army of Furballs will not be able to stave off the imminent collapse of the insurgency in Iraq.

#6 The only ones who can save the insurgency in Iraq are the American press, and they're giving it their best shot.

#10 The neo-marxist left of center Sunni militant group Moveon.org 'The Army of Furqan' has welcomed Osama bin Laden's latest call late on Monday to leaders of the insurgency in Iraq to bury their pursuit of true representative government rivalries and drive out the US-led coalition.

There fixed it for you.

#11 Osama's plea for reinforcements—falling, as it does, right on the heels of al Qaeda murdering Sunni Sheikh Abdul Sattar Abu Risha—is likely to fall upon some rather deaf ears. Playing the sympathy card so soon after such a tremendous gaffe displays truly monumental contempt for those that bin Laden is appealing to.

#13 "In enterprise of martial kind, when there was any fighting,

He lead his regiment from behind, he found it less exciting,

But when away his regiment ran, his place was at the fore-o,

That celebrated, cultivated, under-rated nobleman - the Duke of Plaza-Toro."

W. S. Gilbert, "The Gondoliers"
