Not dupes.. just much recent background.
Excellent news and it is about time. God bless our troops.
This is getting serious. Harry and Nancy won`t be able to stop the War before Bush and the Troops win it. Is that unfair or what?
This must be that "political solution" we were told is imperative.
The traitors and defeatists have invested everything they have in the defeat of the US, once we win this war, and we are going to win it, the democrats will become a minority for the next 20 years.
OK, thanks updated the keywords on them..so one can find them again...
JV, thanks for the positive, pro winning comment and for all your work on Iraqi translations...keep up the fight.
God bless and protect our brave fighting men.
The only political solution I embrace is putting Mooki in a box.
Iraqi Security Forces: al-Qaeda leader detained (The leader of the Islamic State in Iraq Captured)
not confirmed yet though?
Nothing yet that I have seen on BBC, Reuters, or the AP .
Likely waiting for the Coalition or Iraqis to say he is who they think he is....
I greatly hope that this is true.
Anytime :)
"This is a great success for the Iraqi security forces, comparable to the killing of Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi," the Salaheddin provincial administration in the town of Tikrit said in a statement.
See #16.
Confirmation at the Local level...
...works for me!
Excellent! I will still wait for a final confirmation from the US forces, hopefully in the next 24 hours.
Report: Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, leader of Islamic State of Iraq, captured
******************************EXCERPT *******************************
From Bil Roggio:
The report has not been confirmed by the U.S. military at this time.
Al-Baghdadi's real name is reported as Muharib Mohammed Abdullah, and he is “a former legal expert from the city of Balad.” Baghdadi's capture would be a largely symbolic victory, as al-Masri is the real power behind al-Qaeda and its Islamic State.
However, his arrest would signal that U.S. and Iraqi intelligence is penetrating al-Qaeda in Iraq's security. And Baghdadi may have information on the whereabouts of senior or mid-level al-Qaeda leaders and members of the Islamic State's Shura (or execute council).
