Al Qaeda Document: Zarqawi Came to Iraq Before The War To Prepare The Fight Against U.S
Al Qaeda document | March 16 2008 | jveritas

Posted on 03/16/2008 2:49:59 PM PDT by jveritas

On February 17 2008, Al-Ekhlaas which is the largest terrorist forum on the internet published an Al Qaeda document that talks about the life of Abou Musaab Al Zarqawi and indicates that Zarqawi came to Iraq before the war to prepare the terrorist insurgency against the US troops. According to the document Zarqawi arrived to the Sunni areas in central Iraq. This document was written by one of Al Qaeda top leaders called “Saif Al Adel”.

There were many accounts about Zarqawi presence in Iraq before the war in particular in Northern Iraq with “Ansar Al Islam” an active Al Qaeda affiliated terrorist group that was present in the Kurdish areas of Iraq long before the war started. The document also proves that Ansar Al Islam helped Al Qaeda members establish themselves in Iraq before the war started.

The author of the document wrote that there were no relations between Saddam regime and Al Qaeda but this does not negate at all the most important fact that Al Qaeda was in Iraq before the war for the sole purpose of preparing for its most important front to fight the U.S and it is now in Iraq where Al Qaeda is suffering its most crushing defeat since its existence.

It is very important to note that despite the author of the document denial of a relationship between Saddam regime and Al Qaeda it does not mean that Saddam regime was not aware of Al Qaeda presence in Iraq. In fact the documents clearly points out that Zarqawi went to the Sunni areas in Central Iraq before the war and these areas were totally controlled and loyal to Saddam regime and it very hard to imagine that Zarqawi stayed and prepared his terrorist sleepers cells in these Sunni areas without the approval of Saddam regime.

El-Ekhlaas terrorist forum is a password protected so you cannot access the document unless you are registered there as a member.

Below is a partial translation of Al Qaeda document written by “Saif Al Adel”.

" We started the work and the contact with the leadership, and we began to support and help the leadership again, and this was our goal after we left Afghanistan. We began establishing the fighter groups. On one hand to return to Afghanistan and conduct planned operations there, and on the other hand we began to study the situation of the groups and bothers to find new places for them. After long discussions, brother Abou Mussab with his Palestinian and Jordanian companions decided to go to Iraq because of their dialects they can quickly mix and assimilate in the Iraqi society. Our analysis was that the Americans were going to make the mistake sooner or later to invade Iraq, that this invasion will lead to the fall of the regime, and that we should play an important role in the confrontation and resistance, and that this is our historical chance to establish the Islamic State who will have the biggest role in removing injustice and establish justice in this world allah willing. I was in agreement with brother Abou Mussab regarding this analysis. There were no relation between Al Qaeda and Saddam regime that is worth mentioning, as opposite to what the Americans are saying so they can create excuse and legal justifications according to their laws that they imposed on the world that is enslaved by the West, the Israelis and the Anglo-Saxons.

The plan was to have our brothers enter Iraq from the North, where the road is not controlled y the regime, and then go down South to the Sunni areas where we have some of our brothers. Also the brothers in “Ansar Al Islam” showed their willingness to give us any help to achieve this goal.

The Americans noticed that the Iranians were having a blind eye against our activities in Iran so they began a media attack against Iran accusing them of helping Al Qaeda and international terrorism. The steps taken by the Iranians had confused us and had caused 75% of our plans to fail. Many of our comrades were arrested. 80% of Abou Musaab Al Zarqawi group members were arrested. There should be a quick plan to arrange the escape of Zarqawi and the remaining of his group, the destination was Iraq and the route was the Northern borders between Iraq and Iran. The goal was to reach the Sunni areas in central Iraq and the beginning of the preparation to confront the US invasion and defeat it allah willing. The choice was not arbitrary but a studied one.

When he said goodbye to me leaving for Iraq, Abou Musaab has added a new dimension to his personality. This new dimension focused on punishing the Americans for the crimes that they committed in their bombing of Afghanistan and that he witnessed in his own eyes, the hate and hostility that Abou Mussab had for the Americans guaranteed to form new traits to Abou Musaab personality."

End of partial translation.

No they are not. They are generally well educated and very well financed.

Yes, the right moment. The liberals had their saying about Al Qaeda and Iraq connections and now we have ours.

If this is true then why isn’t CNN stating that this is proof Al Qaeda was in Iraq before the invasion? (sarcasm)

So, it was really the 11 United Nations resolutions and the 18-month "rush to war" that caused Al Qaeda to enter Iraq, not the US-led attack on Iraq?

AQ was in America before 9/11. Why would anyone with common sense think that AQ wasn’t in Iraq before the war?

Purposeful denial. MSM stuff. Newspeak. Subversion. Treason. You know, the things that used to be important to the survival of a republic. Down the memory hole.

99% of the reason why these lies have prevailed about Iraq are a lying, biased MSM, a treasonous Democrat party, and traitors in the CIA. It was George Tenet who took the lead in saying that there was NO CONNECTION between Saddam and 9/11.

But I will never understand why Bush went along with it. He did little or nothing to contradict these liars who were tearing him down, and several times he even seemed to say that the critics were right.

History may never correct these errors, because the leftists have controlled history for a long time, and will likely continue to do so.

A childhood neighbor of mine, Peter Braestrup, who once worked for the NY Times, wrote a fine book on the Tet Offensive, pointing out that we had won. It was well published, and reasonably widely read. But the media simply ignored or pooh poohed it. Many people on FR now know that we won the Tet Offensive, and could easily have won the war if we had had the will to do so, but few people knew it at that time, and relatively few people know it now.

If anything, the lies of historians and teachers about American history are getting worse, and few growing up now know as much as we did. I thought that the history I had—or didn’t have—in my public school years was bad then! But the wreckers were only getting started.

The Saddam-9/11 connections was very much focused on by liberals and their media to cover and dismiss the other very important thing such as Al Qaeda presence in Iraq before the war started.
