Bush: al-Qaida Letter Shows Islam Misused
Like anyone in Iraq is going to believe this asshat???

Today: October 12, 2005 at 17:16:51 PDT

WASHINGTON (AP) - The United States made public a letter from al-Qaida's No.2 to show Muslims that the radical group is perverting Islam, the Bush administration said Wednesday.

State Department spokesman Adam Ereli said the letter from Ayman al-Zawahri to al-Qaida-linked Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in Iraq shows the nature of the enemy the United States is facing.

"This isn't a question of hearts and minds," Ereli said. "It's a question of bodies and gore. This is a network, a confederacy of evil that will stop at nothing to advance its radical agenda."

1. bush speeches show christianity is misused....by the republicans
whenever I hear bush ragging on others I think he must really be talking about himself. Just insert the word "bush" wherever he mentions others he does not like.

7. Everything Bush and the conservatives say is projection of their faults
Edited on Wed Oct-12-05 07:56 PM by Inland
on their opponents.

Kerry avoided combat service.

Others pervert their religion for political purposes.

Liberals only have hate.

Democrats have no plan.

Liberals don't have a grasp of reality.

Liberals, big spenders, out of control.

It's like they look in the mirror to figure out what to say about someone else.

3. Yep, he's talking about * and his administration all right.
"This isn't a question of hearts and minds," Ereli said. "It's a question of bodies and gore. This is a network, a confederacy of evil that will stop at nothing to advance its radical agenda."

4. That letter is a crock of BS
They tried to bring it up 2 weeks ago, but it didn't get any coverage. Now they are acting like its new news. Personally I think that Rove wrote it! Since when does AQ do things by letter and not video....

10. Letter shows US invasion of Iraq was a big mistake
Saddam didn't have any problem keeping al-Qaida out of Iraq. Bush invades and now there's a real chance al-Qaida will take over.
