This Does Not Bode Well For Recruitment
I do hope that al Jazeera is not paying attention to the United States this week. the antics of the organization's members serve as an excellent reason NOT TO JOIN their cause. First, we had Zacarias Moussaoui being sentenced to life in prison, and he did not even get the chance to take an infidel with him (Cheer up, "Mousey-boy," there may be a blade for you to use in Florence, CO when you get there). As a matter of fact, he stated that he won and we lost. Really? Cox and Forkum beg to differ. (Thinking about the sentencing this way tends to ease a bit of my anger.)
But now, there is this video released by the military. They have Team 145 trailing Zarqawi in Iraq, and they found this video of him, and his aptitude with handling a firearm. We highlighted the fact our troops are after him, and they are close. But Captain Ed adds this amusing little tid bit:
The U.S. military command Thursday released previously unseen images of a video purportedly posted by Al Qaeda in Iraq's leader, showing him decked out in American tennis shoes and unable to operate his machine gun. ...
The video, discovered in a series of raids in April on purported Al Qaeda in Iraq safe houses in the Youssifiyah area, 12 miles southwest of Baghdad, gave a view of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi that the Jordanian-born militant chose not to show the world, said Maj. Gen. Rick Lynch, spokesman for the U.S. command.
Al-Zarqawi is "very proud of the fact that he can operate this machine gun, and he proclaims that, and all of his close associates are very proud of what Zarqawi does," Lynch said in a briefing in which he played a snippet from the video posted by militants on April 25.
But as the previously unseen video was shown, Lynch mocked al-Zarqawi, suggesting his weapon jammed and he was unable to fix it.
"It's supposed to be automatic fire, he's shooting single shots. Something is wrong with his machine gun, he looks down, can't figure out, calls his friend to come unblock the stoppage and get the weapon firing again," Lynch said.
"This piece you all see as he walks away, he's wearing his black uniform and his New Balance tennis shoes as he moves to this white pickup. And, his close associates around him ... do things like grab the hot barrel of the machine gun and burn themselves," the military spokesman added.
Moussaoui gets nailed, and imprisoned like the animla he is (though I believe he should have been put down like the rabid animal he is), and Zarqawi cannot even handle a firearm; one that his men have apparently been using for some time. The same goes for his men. What idiot in their right mind, after watching a rifle be fired, grabs said weapon by the barrel?
At least we know which end the round comes out on our weapons. I am not too sure about Zarqawi's boys in Iraq now.
