Al Qaeda Letter Says Prolonging The Iraq War ‘Is In Our Interest’

A newly translated letter from al-Qaeda’s leadership to their Iraq organization shows the Bush administration’s “stay the course” Iraq strategy is exactly what al Qaeda wants:

The most important thing is that you continue in your jihad in Iraq, and that you be patient and forbearing, even in weakness, and even with fewer operations; even if each day had half of the number of current daily operations, that is not a problem, or even less than that. So, do not be hasty. The most important thing is that the jihad continues with steadfastness and firm rooting, and that it grows in terms of supporters, strength, clarity of justification, and visible proof each day. Indeed, prolonging the war is in our interest, with God’s permission.

4. It absolutely is to their benefit.

Before 9/11 they only had Afghanistan, now they have Iraq and Afghanistan. Resolution thru peaceful means to the Iraqi conflict would very much be to their detriment. If we try to convene a peace conference with Turkey, Iran, Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia and the US, Al-Qaeda will go bonkers in Iraq. But...the conference is the only hope now...

6. I can just see * on this one...

"So... they want us to continue the war. Then we should end the war. But maybe they only want us to *think* they want us to continue the war, so we should continue the war. But if they think we think they want us to think they want to continue the war, then...."

7. Strange as it sounds to say,

Absolutely nobody with an IQ over 80--which apparently excludes a majority of U.S. voters--should be surprised one damned iota to see this story. We've given not only al Queda but Iran everything they could possibly have asked for, and more. The reason we haven't been hit since 911 is that there's no strategic reason to hit us. We are imploding.
