Genie This is not surprising. Taking the long view, OBL can see that toppling Hussein's secular regime will create the perfect power-vacuum for his vermin to sweep in and establish another "Islamic Republic" like Iran."The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat."

Michele 1 #6 March 18, 2003 Hi, Phree... Still wondering about the link that Genie is referring to. From the MSNBC article... U.S. officials say that while the speaker on the tape criticized Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, he stressed that the paramount battle for Muslims was with the United States and its allies and said Muslims were justified under Islamic law in defending Iraq from U.S. aggression. From the CNN article... "We want to let you know and confirm to you that this war of the infidels that the U.S. is leading with its allies ... we are with you and we will fight in the name of God," the speaker said. "Our brothers the mujahedeen in Iraq, don't worry about America's lies and their powers and their military might," he said. "We also advise you to drag the forces into fighting you in street fights. Take them into farms, into cities, and fight them in there ... they will be losing a lot of lives." and... He urged "good Muslims" to join together in overthrowing "leaderships that work as a slave to America" and encouraged suicide attacks against the so-called enemies of Islam. But in neither one does he call for the ouster of Sadam. Granted, I believe both of these to be from mid-February, but unless Skynews has something brand new, I just don't see it. I see solidarity calls, I see threats for more attacks, but nothing about "Sadam, get out of Iraq"... Genie, can you send a link? {edit: Thanks, Genie. You were responding when I was typing...} Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
