Thread: Al Qaeda in Iraq: Favors the Democrat Party?

'Al-Qaeda recording' threatens to destroy White House
Saturday, November 11, 2006



A purported audio recording by the leader of Iraq's Al-Qaeda wing gloated over the resignation of US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, as a top US general said the military was preparing to recommend strategy changes. Abu Hamza al-Muhajer, also known as Abu Ayyoub al-Masri, said in the recording posted on the Internet Friday that the group had 12,000 armed fighters and 10,000 others waiting to be equipped to fight US troops in Iraq.
"I tell the lame duck [US administration] 'do not rush to escape as did your defense minister ... stay on the battle ground,'" he said, adding that the group would not rest until it had blown up the presidential mansion in Washington.
"I swear by Allah we shall not rest from jihad until we ... blow up the filthiest house known as the White House," the voice on the recording said. He appealed to major Iraqi Sunni insurgent groups, notably the Army of Ansar al-Sunna, the Islamic Army of Iraq and
the Mujahideen's Army, to endorse the self-styled state and* pledge allegiance to its emir.
Stung by a thumping defeat in Tuesday's congressional elections, President George W. Bush said Rumsfeld had resigned because there was a need for "fresh perspective" in Iraq.
The Pentagon's top general said Friday that US military leaders were preparing to recommend changes in Iraq strategy but Rumsfeld's departure would not have a direct effect.

Earlier in the day, Iraqi soldiers arrested the leader of an Al-Qaeda cell in Anbar Province, Abu Muhayyam al-Masri, a pseudonym meaning, "the Egyptian," a Defense Ministry official said. Two deputy leaders of the cell, Abu Issam al-Libi, or "the Libyan," and Abu Zaid al-Suri, "the Syrian," were also arrested, along with nine other fighters, said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity. The official said Suri confessed to being responsible for organizing at least one suicide bombing in Baghdad. A large quantity of weapons was also seized in the raid, he said.

I am unsure whether Masri, who took over from Zarqawi, and al Qaeda favor Democrats or not. In his tape recorded message, Masri complained how much dislike he has for President Bush and Secretary Rumsfeld but what do you think? Does Al Qaeda like Democrats better than Republicans?

I think they hate you for being an American, republican or otherwise... just a hunch.

Well since they've said the American people have "done the right thing" by throwing out Republicans it would be hard to deny they hate Bush and the Republicans. If your a Democrat you will not touch this issue at all even though you would be correct in doing so.

Having Al Qaeda hate Republicans is a fantastic propaganda tool. "Vote for us beause we are Al Qaeda's nightmare" etc is very catchy. What few people realize is that Al Qaeda would probably stop attacking the US if it didn't emply such a barbaric forein policy. Both parties are responsible for this but more so the Republicans in this day and age.

"Danny you sound as if you want to appease the terrorists?" some would argue. Well, folks, it doesn't work quite like that. Look at it this way: a group of people have a legitimate quam with the US. A number of them are not content with peaceful means of resolution so they turn to terrorism. Does that nullify the quams of the peaceful people who chose not to use violence? I don't think anyone would argue that it does. Unfortunately if the US fixes the problem witht he peaceful people, it just happens to be the same thing the terrorists are demanding and politically its impossible to do.

Well sorry but if anyone wants to see meaningful conflict resolution in the ME, they will need to start thinking beyond the political rhetoric of "appeasing the terrrorists". The US would be giving into the terrorists they'd be settling a dispute with the peaceful people.

Do the terrorists prefer the Democrats? Yes. Does that mean Republicans are the better choice? No.

It is safe to assume that Democrats are favored.

It doesn't work. Democrats are favored because, Socialist leaning, they are al Qaeda appeasers and do whatever the Terrorists want.

Nonsense. We weren't even in Iraq or Afghanistan on 911. The Terrorists told us they plan to continue and you ignored their very claims.

Nonsense. It is the Terrorists who are to blame.

The Communist and Islammunist Terrorists would like us to fly Commie flags and pray to Saudi Arabia.

That is not going to happen so the War on Terror goes on. Appeasement was tried and failed.

What peaceful people? Your posts are vague and lack specifics about everything except that America is at fault.

This is exactly what the Terrorists have said.

I see. You just oppose the United States, period.

Please stay in Socialist Canada and keep the Terrorists up there long enough so that we can lock our borders down better.

I was gonna quote each one of your points as you did me but I cannot find anything meaningful worth replying to. All I can do is refer you to my previous post and ask you to read it again.
