He was looking for martyrdom. No matter who he would fight and no matter where, Afghanistan or Iraq, he was looking to be a martyr

I'm glad we could help. Your welcome, you jihadi loser.

“There are tens of Saudis in jail because either they wanted to go to Iraq, were caught trying to get in or were collecting money for people going to Iraq,”

Wow! Tens of jihadists in jail. That's some crackdown.

I've never read a field manual or participated in training
where you were supposed to die at the end of the exercise.

ehat does this mean?----"Restore Muslim Honor"------here's Islam's method for doing that----

"Blow yourself up in an area where you can kill as many Infidels as possible"...

"Allah will reward you with martyrdom and an eternal place in Heaven"...

What other religion teaches this?

Whether intended or not, the Iraq invasion has caused a large number of the jihadists to run off to Iraq, where or military already is, and get themselves killed. The more we kill over there, the fewer there are to attack the U.S. itself.

"Harithi followed the same journey as many hundreds of Saudi men who are believed to have slipped away to fight in Iraq, angered by the US military occupation and driven by a desire to restore Muslim honour. "

Bull$hit excuse if I saw one! The only reason these sad excuse for men leave their families in pursuit of "nartyrdom" is because they cannot accept their lot in life. Raising kids in a miserable environment is a lot tougher than playing "cowboys 'n muslims"! Too bad they do not know what cowboys are all about.

We helped 24 more of these zealots to their eternal reward today. As our great President said, "Bring 'em on!"

“We are quite concerned about those who may return after the end of the conflict in Iraq with a new ideology even worse than the ideology which came from Afghanistan”.

That's a problem we can help with, fer shure, courtesy of the U.S. Army and Marine Corps.

We have plenty of .223 ammo. Too bad they won't let us use any of the ammo that the Israeli's made.
That would be poetic justice. Anyway, we have enough to put all their name on two or three, just to make sure.....

Half of this war is Saudi Arabia. The other half is Iran. Eliminate them as sponsors of terror, and the rest of the war will be a mop-up operation. Saudi will be a tougher nut to crack than Iran. Iran is ready to go democratic. Saudis seem to be insane fanatics. And we can't occupy the place and pacify it slowly, 900 million Moslems would go insane. I'm not sure what our long term strategy is with Saudi Arabia, but we need a plan to eliminate the dissemination of wahabbism inside and outside Saudi Arabia.

...he estimated up to 2,500 Saudis have travelled to Iraq since the US invasion in March 2003, 400 of whom may have died there.

Ya know, nuthin like a bullet to ruin that whole "jihad" thing....2100 more to go.

They ought to change the name to ROTO-Reuters News service, because they can really move the CRAP, can't they?
