Al-Qaeda Iraq leader arrested?

one more down, plenty left to go around

I'm sure he's already been replaced. But at least we got something.

It's obvious that the "War On Terror" cannot be won by conventional means. As soon as he was arrested, there was another ready to step up and take his place.

To remove the terror plaguing the world and the terrorists, you need to replace that terror with compassion.

You can't convince Americans that bombing Iran is wrong, how are you going to get them to sympathize with the plights of others?

Hell, most Americans won't EVER admit that the CIA trained, funded and armed the mujahideen that became Al-Qaeda. I don't think they are gonna put two and two together to figure out what causes terrorism.

If you don't try, then nothing will happen for sure.

What worries me are the many innocent people who went into Gitmo as innocent, non-violent victims and are coming out angry and ready to join the radicals back home.

Can I go outside now?

Im sure they already have another leader by now.

I don't know that I want to change the way that I look at the world (again).

Expect to see more stories like these being generated as the search for a democratic nominee comes to a head.

is that the bastard that planned Sept 11?

wait, that was NOT Iraq...

shit.

That's the hundredth and something "Al Qaeda" leader they have arrested or killed - it would seem that Al Qaeda (which is basically a CIA organization) consists of nothing but top leaders...

so does this mean our national threat advisory has gone down to GREEN?!?!?!?

Surfs up al-Masri! I think he's great candidate for some good old fashioned waterboarding.

update: he wasn't captured.

I think you're a candidate for waterboarding there LE

A man that wouldn't do to himself what he would to his enemies is a coward. And that's what all people that support torture are. God damn cowards.

Never do anything to anyone else that you wouldn't do to your family, your children, a best friend, your spouse or yourself.

I DON'T CONSIDER WATERBOARDING TORTURE, end of story. Is it a harsh interrogation technique, sure it is. Do these cowardly terrorist scum deserve waterboarding and possibly even worse, you're damn right they do.

Would I submit myself to waterboarding, no I wouldn't. I haven't declared jihad on entire countries and anyone that doesn't share my same religious values. My family members have not done that either, so I would not submit them to it either. Do I think each every detainee at gitmo deserves to go under the bucket with a wet rag in their mouth, no I don't. High value targets such as this piece of shit deserve every minute of it and I'd love to have the opportunity to control the flow.

Just becuase some anti-war left wing loons want to call something torture does not make it so.

LE, you're missing the issue completely.

First of all, the fact is that waterboarding has been deemed illegal in the eyes of the international courts for decades. So your personal opinion to condone the use of it is a moot point.

Second:
"I haven't declared jihad on entire countries and anyone that doesn't share my same religious values."

Sure you haven't. That's why you support the war in the Middle East. I'm sure you're just waiting until after the war is over to take that long-awaited trip to Afghanistan.

Lastly, how can you support waterboarding if you are not willing to endure the same treatment? Are you openly admitting your own cowardice?

Not only am I not a loon, sir, I don't get off to the fact another man is being tortured. Forgive me for being Anti-American, believing in human rights and all.

He isn't a member of a geneva convention signatory or abiding by geneva convention rules, another reason I could give 2 shits less about him. Sorry, all bets are off when your organization is responsible for video taped beheadings of American (or any other for that matter) citizens. You wanna beat a bully, send a bigger badder bully after him, some people just don't understand the concept of peaceful negotiation, al qaeda is one such organization.

How utterly primitive.

Apparently LE isn't familiar with our policies during WWII.

And the Japanese were actually a threat. We never tortured them, even though they did worse than torture to us.

You're anti-American LE.

You sound tough LE, willing to take the fight to "the enemy".

So, what physical disability has prevented you from serving your country and getting rid of the bullies in the middle east?

Or are you really such a coward that you will hide behind the troops and talk like a bully?

If you are sitting behind your computer screen spouting off so outraged, why arent YOU in enlisting to go fight Bush's war? Because, apparently, you don't feel like it's worth risking your own life for it. You would rather someone else do it for you. Like a coward.

Fighting never solves anything. We learn this crap in grade school whenever a scuffle broke out... Afterwards, you sat down and had a talk about it, in a diplomatic fashion...
How quickly we men forget the lessons we were taught as boys.
