lol at 'The leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq'. Just lol.

A sad loss some where.

That will put the Cat amongst the Pigeons...

'sup Akbar. I hope that you are well.

AS for him...well, will this be an end to it? I always thought that Ossy was the head of Al-quieda

OK he got his martyrdom and has now got his virgins.

The problem being that you cannot simply cut off the head and expect the body to die. They tend to thrash about a bit first, so expect even more atrocities to be committed in that poor country before it sees peace

It would be good if this did calm things down a bit - one does get the impression that there is a certain degree of incitement going on over there, and that's without the American soldiers showing ignorance to the locals (no offence to the US users of the site).

Does anyone know how the rebuilding effort is going? Some time ago, I saw that lots of people don't have decent water supplies or sewerage facilitys, but it wasn't getting rebuilt because it was too dangerous. I wonder if that's changed. People may be happier with the troops being there if they could see things getting better for them and their children.

Loved this quote "The prime minister urged Iraqis to join politcal dialogue rather than violence, vowing to "carry on on the same path... by killing all the terrorists".

Hello Viney, i'm very well thankyou. Hope you're all good!

TBH, I don't believe that the loss of this guy is in any way going to affect the situation in Iraq. Me thinks the whole 'leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq' is a bit of campaign to involve people in the whole terrorist threat campaign.

I really don't buy the 'we've liberated Iraq for the people, now we just need to get rid of these few terrorists that are wreaking havoc'. Apparently, around 1000 Iraqi civilians are dying each month in the violence. How are 1000 civilains even involved in the violence each month if they are happy with the new liberated Iraq?

That'll be the Iranian backed terrorists creating the havoc then, lol.

Apparently the contracts for "Rebuilding Iraq" where in place with US companies long before any US soldiers set foot in the country. :roll:

Tricky, I think you're right....... probably September 12th 2001 :lol:
