Iraq: Insurgents Provide Breakdown Of Attacks

[ECH1969]

Some 790 victims - among them US soldiers, Iraqi policemen and members of the Shiite militias - have been killed by al-Qaeda in Iraq and its allies since June, the groups boast in a bloody balance sheet posted to the Internet on Monday.

The Council of the Mujahadeen, which groups some eight Sunni insurgent groups, including al-Qaeda in Iraq, offers a precise breakdown of casualties inflicted, from 8 June, the day that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was killed, to 23 September in what they refer to as "Operation Blood Vengeance for Abu Musab."

That 'mission' concluded last week with the message from Abu Ayyub al-Masri, al-Zarqawi's successor. Al-Masri announced the launch of a new 'campaign' for the Muslim holy month of Ramadan entitled "Operation Outright Victory". They claim to have killed 390 'crusader' soldiers (from US and other foreign contingents) 270 'apostates' (Iraqi policemen and soldiers) and 130 Shiite militiamen from the Al-Mahdi Army as well as 23 from the Badr brigades.

Most of these victims were caused by 35 suicide bombers in action during this period, while 95 were reportedly struck by snipers. Al-Qaeda also claims to have destroyed during this period 152 armoured vehicles, seven tanks, 12 trucks and eight cars used by the multinational contingent.

2. The resistance only kills crusaders and apostates

Women and children are recategorized as such. It's all part of winning hearts and minds.

3. Just as we only kill insurgents

and the beat goes on
la dee da dee da.

6. If Saddam were still in power, all those people would still be alive today

There would be no Al-Qaeda in Iraq, and thousands of GIs would be still alive and in one piece.

Next time the Left raises the alarm about an upcoming war, moderates better listen. The Left is raising the alarm about war in Iran. We all better listen!

4. Operation Outright Victory? They are copying our naming style

Weirder and weirder.

5. Resistance movements always learn from the occupiers

Thinking that the resistance will be incapable of learning and copying effectively is always one of blind spots of the occupiers.

7. Maybe they should learn the good stuff then?

It's not like these stupid names we give our ops are popular or fooling anyone. Why would these turds decide to mimic such a stupid idea? Oh that's right, they are just as fucking dumb. Killing their own people faster than they kill our soldiers. What a lovely group of dick heads we have fucking up Iraq now.

The only people doing more harm to Iraq than us right now are the Iraqi's themselves.

8. Maybe we need to show them the good stuff, first

Be that as it may, it's military tactics and organization that the resistance tends to learn from the occupiers.

9. Yeah I wonder when they will do Shock and Awe.
