July 4th Was A Good Day

That was the day we caught the guy who's the go between for Osama Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda in Iraq. The best part? He's been squealing like a pig since. The noose is getting tighter around the necks of Al-Qaeda's leadership.

One of those officials said the announcement of his arrest was delayed because officials wanted to "maximize their ability to get information" from him before others he was associated with knew about his detention.

Makes perfect sense to me. Now we have a few weeks worth of heads up time against Al-Qaeda. This could very well be the beginning of the end for them. One can only hope.

Al-Mashadani also shed light on the Islamic State of Iraq, the so-called umbrella group of Iraqi insurgents that includes al Qaeda in Iraq.

That group has claimed responsibility for many terrorist attacks.

But Bergner said that al-Mashadani passed on the information that the creation of the group was a ruse to cast itself as home-grown, when in fact it is led by foreigners.

It went so far as to create a fictional political head of Islamic State of Iraq, Omar al-Baghdadi and an actor was used to portray him.

Bergner said Islamic State of Iraq is "a front organization" for al Qaeda in Iraq and a "pseudonym" for it as well.

"It is really being controlled, directed and guided by al Qaeda in Iraq leadership."

No shit eh? You mean to tell me foreign fighters are converging on Iraq to fight against American troops? You mean to tell me that we were right all along? It must be a dark day for liberals who want to say that it's the Iraqi's who are becoming terrorists because we are there.
