The Continuing Iraq Quagmire

If you’re one of the Islamofascists, that is:

Allawi identified the group as Jaish Muhammad, Arabic for Muhammad’s Army. The group “has been arrested … We arrested their leader,” Allawi said, identifying him as Moayad Ahmed Yasseen, also known as Abu Ahmed.

Muhammad’s Army was known to have cooperated with Jordanian terror mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and al-Qaida and Saddam loyalists and was responsible for killing and beheading a number of Iraqis, Arabs and foreigners in Iraq (news – web sites), Allawi said.

“They were planning to destroy Fallujah…by blowing up important positions,” he said. “They have extensions abroad that I cannot talk about now.” Allawi did not say how many members of the group were captured or what kidnappings the group has been involved in.

Apparently, when the US bombed some of the tunnels in Fallujah, there were secondary explosions for forty-five minutes. As someone commented over at Free Republic, “Teacher says every time there’s a secondary explosion in the tunnels, a dozen Islamonazis get their wings…”

Unfortunately, there was a grisly discovery as well:

On the streets of Fallujah, Marines recovered the disemboweled body of an unidentified Western woman wrapped in a blood-soaked blanket.

It is not known if the body was of Margaret Hassan, the 59-year-old director of CARE international who was one of two Western women abducted last month. Polish-born Teresa Borcz Khalifa, 54, another longtime resident of Iraq, has also been missing since last month.

They neglect to mention the other reports that her limbs were hacked off, and her face disfigured. No report on whether these atrocities occurred prior to or after her demise. This is what they’d love to be able to do to all of us who don’t share their vile world view. These are not people with whom we can, or should, negotiate. In fact, it’s getting more and more difficult to think of them as people at all.
