Al Qaeda issues video of U.S. pilot killed in crash

An al Qaeda-led group in Iraq appealed to Americans on Thursday to reject the policies of President George W. Bush and issued a video apparently showing the remains of a U.S. pilot killed in a crash last year.

The video posted on the Internet by the media arm of the Islamic State in Iraq showed the body of a dead man in a flight suit wearing a parachute harness and lying in an open area.

"O people of America, Iraq has taken many of your soldiers and Bush is the cause of this," said an off-camera insurgent on the video, which also included footage of Iraqi children it said were killed in a U.S. air strike.

The video also showed an Air Force ID card bearing the name of Troy Gilbert, a U.S. pilot whose plane crashed in November 2006. Originally listed as missing, he was declared dead based on human remains found at the site of the crash, according to a U.S. military Web site.

"It is your president (who is responsible). The one who deceived you regarding the war in Iraq. And his deception continues," the insurgent said on the video, issued shortly before a major speech by Bush on his Iraq policies.

They're missing a bet publicizing it through al-Reuters. The NY Times would happily give them a whole page at a hefty discount.

If there was any doubt that these psychos pick up on the left’s bleating and talking points, this should put that to bed. Oh if only this would be widely reported and a picture drawn for the American people. I can see an ad running quotes from this asking: who said the following, Al Queda or Ted Kennedy/Charles Schumer/Harry Reid, etc? The quotes are indistinguishable.

I wish you were in charge of this war.

You expressed the way I feel exactly.

These Al-Queda aholes remind me of moveon.org,
Code Pink, The Daily Kos types, and the rest of the
anti-American moonbat left, as well as Harry Reid,
Murtha, Nancy Pelosi, Teddie Kennedy, Kerry, etc.

I know our guys in Iraq are killing Al-Queda operatives on a daily basis, and the thought of these Al-Queda scumbags getting smoked puts a smile on my face.

Please remove my #10. I posted to the wrong thread by mistake and it is most inappropriate here.

When are they going to post the video of them fleeing their impenetrable mountain fortresses in Afghanistan? You know, the ones that it was going to cost tens of thousands of American lives to invade. The problem with Osama is that he is so tall he is one of the fastest cowards in the world. To find a quicker and more useless person you have to look to the top of the democrat party.
