Iraq Terror Leader Recruits Scientists
By PATRICK QUINN , 09.28.2006, 11:42 AM
"In a new audio message Thursday, the leader of al-Qaida in Iraq called for explosives experts and nuclear scientists to join his group's holy war against the West. He also said that more than 4,000 foreign insurgent fighters have been killed in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003.
That comment was believed to be the first major statement from insurgents in Iraq about their losses.
"The blood has been spilled in Iraq of more than 4,000 foreigners who came to fight," said the man, who identified himself as Abu Hamza al-Muhajir - also known as Abu Ayyub al-Masri - the leader of al-Qaida in Iraq. The voice could not be independently identified"...
Would sound about right, from the past numbers. There were never more than 5,000 foreigners suspected of being there, at any given time.
ReplyDeleteBut that only gives US a 2 to 1 advantage, at the cost of $500 Billion USD.
$100 Million per Foreign Fighter?
Better raise that bounty on Osama, accordingly. $1 Billion USD.
He's got to be worth ten times the money, no?
Scary math DR.
ReplyDelete20,000 for $500 Billion, let's do the math...
ReplyDelete$25 Million USD per enemy combatant KIA in Iraq. No wonder there are no takers on Osama, we are offerring foot soldier money for him.
So the value for the years between the '93 WTC attack to the 9/11/01
ReplyDeleteThose seven years, were priceless then, as well.
Credit where credit is due.
If a lack of attacks on the Homeland is the Standard.

If you want to know the real story of how we got where we are read this.
ReplyDeleteTHE PLAN
In the beginning was the Plan.
Then came the Assumptions.
But the Assumptions were without form, And the plan was completely without substance.
And the darkness was upon the faces of the workers. So they spoke unto their group heads, saying: "It is a crock of shit, and it stinketh!"
And the group heads went unto their section heads, and sayeth: "It is a pail of dung, such that none can stand it!"
And the section heads went unto their managers, and sayeth unto them: "It is a container of excrement, and it is very strong, such that none here may abide the odour therof."
And the managers went unto their Director, and sayeth unto him: "It is a vessel of fertilizer, and none may abide its strength."
And the Director went unto the Director-General, and sayeth unto him: "It contains that which aids plant growth, and it is very strong."
And the Director-General went unto the Assistant Deputy Minister, and sayeth unto him: "It promoteth growth, and it is very powerful."
And the Assistant Deputy Minister went unto the Deputy Minister, and sayeth unto him: "This powerful new plan will actively promote the growth and efficiency of the department, and this area in particular!"
And the Deputy Minister looked upon the plan, And saw that the plan was good.
And the plan became policy..and that how shit happens.
