Yaacov. How about this. Prez Bush has managed to get a good portion of the musolm crazies in one place....way to go George. And at least the muslum crazies are shooting at soldiers who have guns and can shoot back instead of an infant in a crib or working citizens going about their daily lives.

'Iraqifada' attracts
recruits globally
Islamists coming from around world to fight U.S.

Middle Eastern and Asian intelligence sources agree a new so-called "Afghani syndrome" is developing around the "Iraqifada" – with Islamist recruits traveling from around the world to fight the U.S. infidels, Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin reports.

"Iraqifada" is the name, coined by G2 Bulletin, for the guerrilla war being waged against U.S.-led coalition forces since the overthrow of the Saddam Hussein regime.

According to reliable sources in Ankara, Tel Aviv, Cairo and India, many young Muslim radicals are trying to reach Iraq, says the premium online intelligence newsletter created by the founder of WorldNetDaily. The assumption is that a similar mood to the one that prevailed in the Muslim world during the Afghani war against the Russians is now evident again – this time against the U.S.

According to a source in Tel Aviv, Israeli intelligence has monitored the movements of Asian Muslims through Syria and into Iraq, reports G2 Bulletin. It is believed this trend is not yet organized under one umbrella, but more by small ad hoc groups, especially organized in madrassas – Islamist schools, most of which are funded by Saudi Arabia.

Among those who have reached Iraq and took part in clashes with the U.S.-led coalition forces were Pakistanis, Afghanis, Yemenis, Syrians, Indonesians and Egyptians.

In some cases, Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein has been described by agitators in maddrassas as a great Muslim leader, suggesting that responding to his call for Jihad is the duty of every able-bodied young man.
