Al-Qa'ida on the Fall of Baghdad, Guerilla Warfare: 'Is the Most Powerful Weapon Muslims Have, and It Is the Best Method to Continue the Conflict with the Crusader Enemy'
Al-Nidaa, the Web site of the Al-Qa'ida organization, posted an initial reaction to the fall of Baghdad. The Al-Nidaa Web site, which is regularly knocked off the Web and thus its URL changes every few days,[1] is posting a series of articles on "The Crusader War in Iraq." The first article asks 35 questions, and the answers are published in the successive segments, at the rate of one every few days.
The seventh segment, dated April 9, 2003, was written after the American forces entered Baghdad and following the disappearance of the leaders of the Iraqi regime. It claimed that the only way to deal successfully with militarily superior forces is guerilla warfare:
"First of all, what is happening today, Wednesday, in Baghdad that is, Crusader forces entering the heart [of the capital] without fighting surprised no one who examined the events according to military parameters, because the entrance into cities was anticipated, sooner or later, and the situation in the field did not allow steadfastness by the Iraqi defense [system as long as it functioned as a] regular [army]."
"Yes, we cannot deny that we were surprised at the ease of their entrance into Baghdad, and [also] that there was no resistance whatsoever by the city. So far we are incapable of understanding where the tens of thousands of the regular troops disappeared to overnight. We expected some resistance, at least of the level that was demonstrated that was at Um Qasr. Although we don't know the reasons, we are convinced that if the resistance in Baghdad had been waged by regular forces, it would have collapsed, and fairly quickly. It appears that the Iraqi commanders were also convinced that the modus operandi of regular [forces], even if it were capable of putting up resistance for a few weeks, would collapse in the absence of elements for steadfastness. Iraqi Defense Minister Sultan Hashem said on the sixth day of the war that Baghdad would be besieged, but would not fall. The fact that they were convinced that there would be a siege was in itself sufficient to convince them that they could not withstand using the modus operandi of regular [forces] "
"We expected that the method of defense of regular or semi-regular [forces] would collapse, and it would be impossible to withstand. From the beginning of this series of articles, we have focused on the modus operandi of guerilla warfare. This is the most powerful weapon Muslims have, and it is the best method to continue the conflict with the Crusader enemy who has stripped the nation of all the meanings of [military] might, and there is no chance that in the years to come we will be allowed to possess the elements of strength. Thus, the best method of struggle for the weak against the strong is guerilla warfare."
"With guerilla warfare, the Americans were defeated in Vietnam and the Soviets were defeated in Afghanistan. This is the method that expelled the direct Crusader colonialism from most of the Muslim lands, with Algeria the most well known. We still see how this method stopped Jewish immigration to Palestine, and caused reverse immigration of Jews from Palestine. The successful attempts of dealing defeat to invaders using guerilla warfare are many, and we will not expound on them. However, these attempts have proven that the most effective method for the materially weak against the strong is guerilla warfare "[2]

Although not much has been said about it, the Islamic/Muslim world has declared a holy (read religious) war against the US .. the great Satan .. and as such, we are in a religious war.
With the war being all but over, we can declare victory and go on with our 'diversified' lives ... meaning, we can continue teaching Islamic consciousness and practices to the gov't school kids, but Jesus is still relegated to persona non-grata.
I guess we'll have to go to war with ourselves and win it so our Christian consciousness can then become part of the 'diversified' staus quo.
Oh the tangled web that has been woven.
Hint #1: Consider the word "BOOM!"
The French and other Europeans lost their colonial wars in the Moslem world because the U.S. did not support them. You, Al-Qaeda, have now ensured that the U.S. is now going to establish sufficient control over the Moslem world to stop further terrorist attacks on itself. Great thinking!
It surprised us, but not the Americans
"we were surprised at the ease of their entrance into Baghdad, and [also] that there was no resistance whatsoever by the city
We thought Saddam had at least a few loyal supporters.
"We expected that the method of defense of regular or semi-regular [forces] would collapse, and it would be impossible to withstand"
Forget what we said about being surprised, of course we knew we would be slaughtered, but think of how many virgins we obtained.
"we have focused on the modus operandi of guerilla warfare"
Because killing innocent women and children is easier than taking on US forces and we are cowards
"the Crusader enemy who has stripped the nation of all the meanings of [military] might, and there is no chance that in the years to come we will be allowed to possess the elements of strength"
Without war to kill the infidel, our lives are meaningless. We are now completely defeated and must kill innocent women and children to give our lives meaning.
the best method of struggle for the weak against the strong is guerilla warfare
Allah commands me to hide in my cave, but Allah commands you to martyr operations, blow yourselfs up and take some innocent civilians with you. This will teach the infidels that we are not afraid of doing really stupid inhumane and self defeating things.
"The successful attempts of dealing defeat to invaders using guerilla warfare are many"
Eventually the US will have a democrat in office. Then see how they run from our terrorists. We will not stop until we have driven the infidel from and reinstated evil dictators given to torture in all of the Muslim lands.
Then we will not stop until we have driven the Jews those Zionist pigs out of their ancestral homeland which we claim for ourselves because we want it.
Then we will not stop until we have caused the death of America and the West and have installed Islam across the world.
In this way, the whole world will be at peace and we will torture and kill anyone who says we are not.
Ya sure thing dipstick. And how did your brilliant military planning serve you when the George Bushs army showed up in Afghanistan and opened a can of whoopass on ya
Al Quada has never been so powerless as right now...their stupid stunt of taking down the towers has led to permanent US prescence right in their back yards, the down fall of their enabler Sadam and the Taliban...and humiliation of Arabs on the street...
Hey Al Quada...how is recruiting now that you have brought so much shame on the Arab street?
We rock...you suck
