Reminder: Al Qaeda wants us in Iraq
“This bill will deprive us of the opportunity to destroy the American forces which we have caught in a historic trap,” al-Zawahri said, according to a transcript released by the monitoring group SITE. The bill is evidence of American “failure and frustration,” he added.“We ask Allah that they (U.S. troops) only get out of it after losing 200,000 to 300,000 killed, in order that we give the spillers of blood in Washington and Europe an unforgettable lesson,” he said.
Al-Q is using Iraq to bolster its numbers, using the conflict there as both training ground and as a warning against American power. They'd love us to stay in Iraq. And the President wants to oblige them. Thank the gods I voted Democratic...
