Alleged letter to Zarqawi suggests dissent in Iraq Al Qaeda ranks

BAGHDAD - A letter allegedly written by a member of Al Qaeda in Iraq to its country head Abu Mosab Al Zarqawi suggests that there was dissent in the ranks of fighters operating out of Mosul, according to excerpts provided in a statement by the US military on Saturday.

In the letter that the US says it discovered July 27 during a raid on a home in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, the author “Abu Zayd” complained of poor local leadership in the organization and the mistreatment of foreign fighters.

His woes include the “deplorable” conditions suffered by non-Iraqi fighters including bad pay, housing problems and marginalisation within the organisation. The statement did not give Abu Zayd’s nationality.

It also said attacks “lack diversity” and that there was a focus on “quantity not quality”.

They lost what little they had, back in 2003 when they invaded another country, an invasion based on lies.

So anything that the U.S. military says needs to be scrutinized totally.

that is a dream. If the letter exists, the Pent will have it classified.

Hell, we've had that and treason at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for years... and better than half of the country hasn't complained yet... so they had better suck it up and be happy with what they have.

"You go to war with the military you have, not the one you wish you had."

"Alleged" letter is right. Just like the duplicate 'alleged' Iraqi statements that were produced verbatim in two seperate reports in response to two seperate incidents in two seperate locations. Iraqi citizens parroting Bu$co ("take the fight to the terrorists...")talking points -verbatim.
