Zarqawi Tape Says Falluja Victory Certain-Web Site
Reuters ^ | 11/12/04 | Unattributed

Posted on 11/12/2004 10:49:59 AM PST by mojito

An audio tape from al Qaeda ally Abu Musab al-Zarqawi urged insurgents in Falluja to resist U.S.-led attacks on the rebel city, saying victory was certain.

"We have no doubt that the signs of God's victory will appear on the horizon," said the speaker, who sounded like Zarqawi in the tape posted on Web sites used by Islamists.

"O you heroes of Islam in Falluja ... don't be selfish with your lives," said the voice, which the Web sites said was Zarqawi. "America and those with them felt the winds of jihad (holy war) which will shake their thrones and foundations."

"I speak to you my nation as the blood of your sons is flowing in Iraq and especially in Falluja after the onslaught of crusaders," he said.

Supporters of Zarqawi's Al Qaeda Organization of Holy War in Iraq are reported to be among the insurgents fighting U.S. and Iraqi forces in Falluja.

Another insurgent organization, the Army of Ansar al-Sunna, said on its Web site it had joined Zarqawi's group and the Islamic Army in Iraq in a rare joint attack on a government building south of Baghdad.

Zarqawi's group has claimed responsibility for hostage beheadings and some of Iraq's bloodiest suicide attacks.

The Army of Ansar al-Sunna has kidnapped and killed several hostages, including 11 Iraqis it said were National 12 Nepalese men and several Iraqi Kurds.

The Islamic Army has claimed several attacks and kidnappings, including the abduction of two French journalists.

"O you heroes of Islam in Falluja ... don't be selfish with your lives."

Apparently, Zarqawi is being selfish with his, from the safety of the little garret this evil man has crawled into.

Funny -- he flees Fallujah and then urges the stupid slubs that remain to fight on to the death.

"Zarqawi Tape Says Falluja Victory Certain"

He forgot to mention that victory is certain for the US troops.

If memory serves, Baghdad Bob tried to surrender to the provisional authority (way back when), but Centcom wasn't interested in him ...

Those signs on the horizon are M-1 Abrams tanks, Abu.

Wasn't that a hit song in the 70's. "Achmed Don't be a hero..."

Oh, they're not being selfish at all. 18 dead on our side, over 600 on theirs.

Falluja - the Hunt

Kind of amazing how this fight, with the terrorists fleeing and all, matches so closely what the President said years ago; "We're gonna smok'em out of their holes, get'em runnin', and bring 'em to justice".

Abu...Abu...hmmm?

Wasn't that the name of that little monkey in the Disney movie "Aladdin"?

Is there a harmonic convergence here?

Isn't there some old story of a King asking a Wise Man if he should attack? The wise man knew if he gave bad news to the king, he would be killed, so he said, "If you attack your enemy tomorrow, this field will be the site of a great victory!" (And of course, it was...for his enemy.) Maybe that's it...the hole-dwelling loser just isn't saying for whom victory is certain.

Well, if the guy's definition of "victory" is a size 16 USMC combat boot inserted up to the tonsils then yeah, I suppose victory is at hand.
