Al Qaeda in Iraq's binding resolution
While our Parliament of Whores chicken fights about how best to help lose the war but not get blamed for it, our enemies are under the impression that the battle is still ongoing. Our sad little collection of money-grubbing swine have interrupted their Porkfest long enough to try to cobble together some meaningless, political, ass-covering document saying "It's not our fault". At the same time our enemy has their own plan, which like the President's has victory as it's goal.
"We [hereby] inform the Sunnis of a [new] plan called the Plan of Honor, which is more comprehensive and more perfect [than the existing plan] and includes not only Baghdad but all parts of the Islamic State [of Iraq]... [This plan] will end with Bush announcing the failure of his [security] plan and signing an agreement of defeat... The goals of the plan are: to defend our people and our honor; to rout out the invaders and eradicate the remaining pockets and bases of heresy; to butcher the wounded Crusader tyrant and take advantage of the collapse of morale among [the Crusader] soldiers and commanders; to unite the ranks of the mujahideen and to strengthen the foundations of the Islamic State [of Iraq].
That is a bracing bit of reading, and sadly one we seem incapable of matching as far as will. Even sadder is that the defeated wing of the left would look at this as proof we could never win against these savages, as opposed to proof we can't afford to fail. The invaluable MEMRI has the whole thing which calls for all kinds of good terror to rout the infidels and get to expanding the New Caliphate. Excerpts and commentary after the jump.
On February 3, 2007, Islamist websites posted a 23-minute audio recording by Emir Al-Muaminin (i.e. Commander of the Believers) Abu Omar Al-Baghdadi, whom Al-Qaeda has appointed "head of the Islamic State of Iraq." The recording, dated February 2, 2007 and titled, "Victory from Allah, Victory is Near," was issued by the Islamic State's media company Al-Furqan. In his address, Al-Baghdadi announces that the jihad arena will be extended beyond the boundaries of Baghdad. He also calls on Sunni youth to join the war against the "Crusader" forces, urges the mujahideen who have not yet done so to pledge allegiance to the Islamic State of Iraq, and declares war on the "Persians," whom he characterizes as an enemy worse than the Christians.
The following are excerpts from his speech:
"We [hereby] inform the Sunnis of a [new] plan called the Plan of Honor, which is more comprehensive and more perfect [than the existing plan] and includes not only Baghdad but all parts of the Islamic State [of Iraq]... [This plan] will end with Bush announcing the failure of his [security] plan and signing an agreement of defeat... The goals of the plan are: to defend our people and our honor; to rout out the invaders and eradicate the remaining pockets and bases of heresy; to butcher the wounded Crusader tyrant and take advantage of the collapse of morale among [the Crusader] soldiers and commanders; to unite the ranks of the mujahideen and to strengthen the foundations of the Islamic State [of Iraq].
"Oh Muslim youths, remember the cut up bodies of the children, the voices of their bereaved [parents] and the anguished cries of the elderly. Let the volcano of your wrath burst forth. Burn the ground beneath the feet of the Jews and their helpers, eradicate their army, destroy their equipment, down their planes, ambush them in their homes, in the wadis and on the roads. Hide in the darkness of night and turn their morning into hell... We are not afraid of your coalitions...We have drunk blood [in the past], and we find no [blood] sweeter than that of the Byzantines [i.e. Christians]... Roast their flesh with car bombs, cut off their supply lines with [explosive] charges and tear out their hearts with sniper fire. Know that offense is the best [form of] defense, and be careful not to lay down your weapons before the war is over... We are not fighting out of nationalism, but with the aim of making Allah's word supreme.
"To the mujahideen who have not yet pledged allegiance to the Islamic State [of Iraq], I wish to say that they are our brothers and we defend them with our bodies and tongues and do not [mean to] accuse them of heresy or corruption. But we regard their tardiness in rising to the demand of the hour - which is to unite, to adhere to the [way] of Allah and to join their brothers in the Islamic State [of Iraq] - as defiance, especially now that the infidels have united their ranks...
"O Islamic nation, we now stand where the Prophet and his companions stood in the beginning of the Medina period [when the jihad began]. Our war with the Persians has [now] begun just like our war with the Byzantines, only the Persian rule is [even] more depraved and despicable than that of the Byzantines...
"Your brother,
"Abu Omar Al-Qurashi Al-Husseini Al-Baghdadi
"Muharram 14, 1428 [February 2, 2007]"
The defeateds think Abu Omar has already won, and we should cede him the battlefield. If that is the case why is he calling for renewed efforts? Why is he exhorting his troops to kep fighting a tyrant he himself calls only wounded? Better than the defeateds, Abu Omar knows that this one hangs in the balance. He knows that our lack of will outweighs our ability to think or act strategically. The media has managed to overwhelm the populace with the 24/7 death and destruction reports and now Congress will sway with the breeze of public opinion. Unable to muster the stones necessary to fight an important battle to victory they will piddle on the flames and say they tried to help.
I have said a number of times we have an executive control over war-making in the form of a Commander in Chief for a good reason. This is it. War is not a popularity contest to be started or stopped based on the mood of the people. Moods are for cattle. When the monumental decision to go to war is made and Congress authorizes it, then the ball stays in the President's court until victory or defeat. If Congress wants to change that, they have every right to vote to halt combat operations at any time. Absent that action, which the weak-kneed wussies in Congress don't have the spine for, they ought to go out of their way to show the rest of the world that they support the efforts of those who will fight and die to achieve victory. Currently the only contribution our Congress is making is aid and comfort, some for our troops, but right now a big french kiss to our enemies.
