And we have a winner!!

A breathless and excited Barbara Starr (CNN) is reporting from the Pentagon that Zarqawi's successor has been chosen. It's now official. Here is "the new face of terror in Iraq". (her words)

Abu Ayyub al-Masri



So print out his picture and put it on your fridge. We're going to be seeing a lot of him since he's won the grand prize - notoriety as the biggest baddie in the world and the reason our troops will have to stay in Iraq.

who wears such a thing.

She's very excited about this news. :eyes:

How many "successors" wil it take for us to realize that we can't afford to kill every one of them?

That's the thing - it will never end. The American people must have an enemy and as long as the government can invent one, they'll have an excuse for war.

:hide:

it's taken us over three years to elect an leader for the Iraqi government. It took the insurgents 3 days.

I bet they didn't have any hanging Chads either.

I mean let's be real about this.

That is a very good point DYEW

... a foreign occupying force ordering them to comply with its wishes over the votes of the people.

There's definitely a full court press right now to make people think all the violence in Iraq is Al Qaeda.

continue to claim that there is nothing to see here, move along.

:patriot:

How Bushco doesn't get this is beyond me...:shrug:

DoublePlusGood. Chocolate Rectify.

...

They will have to get his handlers working on his image.

The phone lines must have been jammed during all the voting..that's probably what took so long..

It was nauseating not to mention laughable. It was like the unveiling of a new portrait in a museum combined with the top "10 most wanted" alerts.

My only question is whether they will "catch him" 2 weeks before the election in November or 3 weeks before?

Not beyond the realm that they'll build him up like crazy then take him out right before the election. EVERYTHING they do is politics. :hi:

Did you see the caption at the bottom of the screen? "The new leader of Al Qaeda". What about Osama?

him! So, they are trying to totally erase Osama from the American public's memory and replace it with someone they will, gasp, capture in time for the November election, hmmmmm, don't think it is gonna work, at least I sure as hell hope not!

Gosh, I guess killing Zarqawi didn't do squat seeing as there is a new 'leader' who is as skilled in all the things the previous boogieman was, according to breathless Barb.

That's the other Pentagon suck-up for this propaganda tool of Von Rumsfeldt.

Words can't describe how far up Rummy's behind Starr's head is 99% of the time. I long ago thought she had a uniform fetish as she all but melts when she's attemtping to "interview" a General or other mucky-muck. She's fully signed onto the war...putting on the flack jacket and padded helmet and delivering all the "good news" stories about the war Rummy wants to dominate the news...rather than the real pictures of death and devetation that is Iraq today.

I remember all the fears that bin Laden would be captured before the 2004 election. Rove didn't need to...all that was necessary was a tape and a reference to Kerry in it...that's all it took. bin Laden's the gift that keeps giving...especially when there are elections to be stolen.

Cheers...

to satisfy the Nostradamus freaks.

This information was out there a few months ago, you know, back when rumors and information were circulating that Zaqarwi had been replaced. Oh well, I suppose we'll spend another half billion to kill this guy, after he is pushed out of his leadership position.

A few names have been floating around for awhile. I wonder who put this guy in charge anyway? Did Al Qaeda have an election, or was he appointed by Osama? (remember him?)

But it became official for Al Qaeda in Iraq a few months ago. Actually, I suppose it was official for the US too, since the media announced this a couple of months ago:shrug:

There is no way the US is going to win this ugly 'nation building' contest. As the Rolling Stones said, "Time is on my side, yes it is"!

I can't stand Barbara Starr's "reporting". Sickening. What a tool.

It's pretty bad when a reporter is that transparent. :eyes:
