Thanks for that article, Nadine. I wonder how many anti-war Americans will read it, and put it into their thought process. I am not hopeful they will.

>>>>>"Six months ago, Zarqawi and Osama bin Laden were different," he said. "Osama did not consider the killing of Shiites as legitimate. Zarqawi did that. Anyone -- Christian, Jew, Sunni, Shiites -- whoever cooperates with the Americans can be killed. It's a holy war."<<<<<<

>>>>>"They think jihad will stop if they kill hundreds of us in Iraq," Abu Ibrahim said with a note of defiance. "They don't know what they are facing. Every day, more and more young men from around the Muslim world are awaking and coming to the jihad principle.

"Now the Americans are facing thousands, but one day soon they will have to face whole nations."<<<<<

>>>>>Their goal, he said, is restoration of the Islamic caliphate, the system that governed Muslims before the rise of nation states. Abu Ibrahim said he regarded Afghanistan during the Taliban rule as one of the few true Islamic governments since the time of Muhammad.

"The Koran is a constitution, a law to govern the world," he said.<<<<<

If the last two days of news out of syria has any truth to it, i suspect the next major battle might be there. Would the Israelis be taking out hizbollah simultaneously would become the $64 question. Joint take out of syrian regime and hizbollah does more to neuter iran than any bunker busters would. What do you think Nadine?
