[The Fourth Rail] Diplomatic Murders and the Sahel: The GSPC is the African arm of al Qaeda, and to highlight the relationship, the GSPC “praises and congratulates their courageous mujahideen brothers for their courageous jihadi strike” in the kidnapping of the Algeria diplomats. From the GSPC communiqué where al Qaeda claims to have extracted “confessions” from the diplomats:
[Pardon My English] Snooze Button: We were hit by the mujahideen on 9/11 not because we were at war with Muslims, but rather because of Islamic doctrine—to wit, because Muslims believe that on Muhammad's deathbed, he advised that everyone but Muslims be expelled from the Arabian Peninsula. Since our government climbed into bed with the Saudi kleptotheocrats after showing them where and how to get at their oil in the 1930s, our military presence in the K.S.A.
[Iraqblogcount.blogspot.com] Iraq Blog Count: Iraq needs to recruit its police in a candestine location to prevent easy access by suicide bombers. As long as a significant fraction of the population is at war against the government, the government needs to operate under emergency measures -- you can't have a normal open society and open government during civil war aided by insurgents.
[Back-to-iraq.com] Back to Iraq 3.0: London Blasts Claimed by Al Qaeda: BBC carried a commentary from Iranian state radio blaming Israeli intelligence for the London bombings…made alot of sense since Israelis are just as crazy (with fear of Arab threats against them) as al Qaeda types are in their attempts to establish a cause and power base. If , as some suggest that their intelligence operatives orchestrated 9/11 which worked in neutralizing the Taleban and Saddam, then it should work with Iran and Syria.

[Jreynalds.mensnewsdaily.com] Jeremy Reynalds: AL QAEDA ISSUES WARNING TO BRITISH TROOPS IN IRAQ: The warning read (at www.ribaat.org/services/forum/showthread.php?t=29417 and translation by “penguino” at www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1383919/posts?page=383) “Great Britain and its allies will not leave Iraq without punishment. It is right that the criminal pay for that which they have committed like actions against the Muslims before they flee from this Iraqi mess, in order that they become an example for all other countries who are thinking of attacking an Islamic country and an example for all countries who would think of protecting America when she kills Muslims.”
[Antiwar.com] Mujahideen on the move: "They have a substantial-size force that is dedicated out into that western region that has shut that border region down," he said, "and it is not only at the legal crossing points where we do have Iraqi border police, but it is those longtime traditional crossing points where foot traffic and some mobile traffic comes across." So, we know that there was a large force of Marines centered around Qaim who've already suffered an unannounced number of casualties. Even though this is deadly serious business it is difficult to refrain from pointing out with amusement that these Marines were on the Syrian border, supposedly batlling "foreign infiltrators" when they were attacked in force by fighters from the supposedly cordoned off area of Fallujah/Ramadi.What happens next to these Marines at Qaim?
