CAIRO, Egypt - The new leader of al-Qaida in Iraq said in an audio message posted on a Web site Thursday that more than 4,000 foreign insurgent fighters have been killed in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003. It was believed to be the first major statement from insurgents in Iraq about their losses.

"The blood has been spilled in Iraq of more than 4,000 foreigners who came to fight," said the man, who identified himself as Abu Hamza al-Muhajir - also known as Abu Ayyub al-Masri - the leader of al-Qaida in Iraq. The voice could not be independently identified.

So much for the Iraq war having nothign to do with the war on terror....

True, but the leftest view is that the insurgents were not in Iraq before we attacked, but rather, they went to Iraq in response to our attack. My response is BFD, if the insurgents weren't fighting us in Iraq, they would be trying to kill us someplace else like NYC, Chicago, LA, or Boston.

That translates into 288,000 virgins for their deeds.

From the profiles I have seen of the rank and file Islamist terror recruit I would say that they are the virgins.

That's what the Tsunami and some other earthquakes were from.

I think you gave them some bonus virgins. They really should have to earn those extra 8000 virgins....

Oh rats! It is 72 virgins, not 70. I was shorting them. Now there will be a jihad on me.

Darn!

Looks like the insurgents are looking for the WMDS as well and calling on insurgents to attacks our bases in Iraq with 'unconventional weapons'!

Saw an interview with some natives from Afghanistan. They said the Towelaban was better because they had more electricity and water than under the current government. Guess you have to get your priorities right!

I would think you are right. Our military has at least a 1 to 10 kill ratio, and probably more like 1 to 20 or even 1 to 40.
So that would be 30,000 on the lower end and up 120,000 at the high end.

Virgins who couldn't vote nor drive a car and with a pillow case on their head, and heavy eyeliner.

CAIRO, Egypt - The new leader of al-Qaida in Iraq said in an audio message posted on a Web site Thursday that more than 4,000 foreign insurgent fighters have been killed in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003. It was believed to be the first major statement from insurgents in Iraq about their losses.

"The blood has been spilled in Iraq of more than 4,000 foreigners who came to fight," said the man, who identified himself as Abu Hamza al-Muhajir - also known as Abu Ayyub al-Masri - the leader of al-Qaida in Iraq. The voice could not be independently identified."

After the main part of the War with Iraq was over. Some of our Freepers with special forces type of training, predicted that Iraq would be like lanterns drawing moths, the al Qaeda scum in Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia and Jordan.

So over 4000 have rushed into Iraq to be drawn into the "lantern flames" to burn out.

A non Freeper friend, former Green Beret, who consults with our SF people, compared Iraq to a huge electronic bug zapper. He said everytime we are near an electronic bug zapper and hear it Zap a bug, we can imagine that was what just happened to another al Qaeda scumbag in Iraq.

This friend said that every al Qaeda scumbag killed in Iraq or Afghanistan is one less terrorist, who might kill innocent Americans.

Nope. Nobody ever said they each get their own virgins. I think they all stand in line and share...

Key Words: "...4,000 foreigners who came to fight.."

As GWB said, fighting them there, so we don't have to fight them here.

I've actually thought of Iraq as a sort of giant bug-zapper.
