Iraq says officer was suicide bomber, vows more to come BAGHDAD (AFP) - Iraq said the suicide bomber who killed US soldiers Saturday was an army officer, as deserters claimed President Saddam Hussein's forces were being ordered to carry out such attacks at gunpoint. "The whole Iraqi people, including its women, will transform themselves into fedayeen (martyrdom fighters)," Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan told a Baghdad press conference. "Anybody who carries out a martyrdom operation does not need orders" he said. State television said Ali Jaafar Musa Hammadi al-Numani was the man who had blown himself up in a taxi at a US army checkpoint near the holy city of Najaf, claiming 11 soldiers had been killed. US forces said four of its soldiers died in the attack. Numani wanted to "teach the invaders a lesson in the same manner of our Palestinian martyrdom fighters" who have carried out suicide attacks against Israel, the television said. "After kissing the holy Koran" he "drove a booby-trapped car toward enemy tanks and armoured personnel at the outskirts of Najaf," the television report said. "This is a blessed start." Numani was posthumously awarded two medals of honour, it said, including the Decoration of Umm al-Maarek or the Mother of All Battles, as Baghdad calls the 1991 Gulf War.

"What did the Bushies think?" They thought that Iraq would fight back and that they would use all means to do so. Iraqi combat troops have proven they have little regard for any life, not even their own. What do you think of suicide bombers? I do not like them. Do you think the "Bushies" like them? You "hate this for our boys"...but, does its occurrence and the effect upon the “Bushies” please you? Terrorist / gorilla tactics....just semantics. A personal suggestive way for YOU to "win" this war. Put your head back under the covers and just keep saying "Make it go away” and you will be safe. Keep watching the alphabet news stations as they report how we "struggle" against the fierce Iraqi Army...stay tuned to the lies. Prior to 9-11 many nations doubted our resolve to fight back or challenge the evil of this world. Clinton assured a policy of pacifism. Questioning the US resolve now is quite foolish. Victory, that will be measurable in countless ways, will be ours and the civilians of Iraq. Tell us what you know of victory; of winning a war? Tell all that you know about fighting and dying for something you believe in. Tell all of us that are gathered here.

COLUMBIA PROF WISHES DEATH FOR GIs The New York Post ^ \| 3/29/03 \| Clemente Lisi freerepublic.com March 29, 2003 -- American soldiers should suffer "a million Mogadishus" in Iraq, a Columbia University professor told thousands of students and faculty members at an anti-war forum. Nicholas De Genova said those inflammatory words - a reference to the Somali city where 18 U.S. soldiers were killed in the 1993 incident that inspired the movie Black Hawk Down - at an "anti-war teach-in" Wednesday at the school's Low Library. "The only true heroes are those who find ways that help defeat the U.S. military," said De Genova, an assistant professor of anthropology and Latino studies. De Genova also asserted that Americans who call themselves "patriots" are white supremacists. De Genova's hopes for an American defeat in Iraq was cheered by the crowd of 3,000 people who had gathered at the five-hour anti-war lecture. "If we really [believe] that this war is criminal then we have to believe in the victory of the Iraqi people and the defeat of the U.S. war machine." De Genova said the U.S. Army is composed largely of men and women with a "treacherous lack of prospects for a decent life." The 35-year-old professor's mention of the bloody Somali ambush where American soldiers were dragged through the streets was largely met with silence from the stunned crowd of peaceniks. Two professors who spoke after De Genova immediately distanced themselves from his explosive anti-American comments. De Genova could not be reached for comment last night. In a statement released yesterday, a Columbia University spokesman said De Genova "was speaking as an individual at a teach-in. He was exercising his right to free speech. His statement does not in any way represent the views of Columbia University." History professor Eric Foner, who helped organize the event, said he did not share De Genova's opinions on the war. "I disagreed strongly and I said so," he said. "If I had known what he was going to say, I would have been reluctant to have him speak." Foner said De Genova was a last-minute invitee and one of 25 speakers who "did not represent the general tone of the event - which was highly educational." With Post Wire Services
