built 659 days ago
The Pakistan army continues the assault on Fazlullah’s followers who are allied to Al Qaeda and the Lal Masjid clerics in North Waziristan. The Mullah is in hiding, and the article does not mention if he’s still broadcasting from his illegal FM radio stations. This comes after a suicide attack on the 2500 troops near Swat, and four beheadings of Frontier Corps troops. Details at the Independent:

In 1998, Daniel Benjamin, who headed the National Security Council's counterterrorism division, led an exercise aimed at a critical analysis of the CIA's contention that Iraq and al Qaeda would not team up. "This was a red-team effort," he said. "We looked at this as an opportunity to disprove the conventional wisdom, and basically we came to the conclusion that the CIA had this one right." Benjamin later told Boston Globe reporters, "No one disputes that there have been contacts over the years. In that part of the America-hating universe, contacts happen. But that's still a long way from suggesting that they were really working together."[63]

This week, al Qaeda published what passes in jihadist circles for encyclopedias – not one but two. The first is the single-handed handiwork of Abu Musab al Zarqawi, better known for staging mass murders by suicide bombers and hostage beheadings in Iraq. He calls his opus American Hell 2. This story was published exclusively last week for the benefit of DNW subscribers.

All of this drinking caused many of Al Qaeda's members (who had a low alcohol tolerance) to start going on suicide raids of crusader towns and encampments. This did not work well, because no virgins could be earned from drunken suicide mission on the crusaders. Coulter realized this, and summoned the almighty fascist council ( Fox News ) to console her and find a way where in killing oneself while drunk, many virgins could be attained. The Fascist Council knowing the secret of gunpowder from the Chinese decided that powder kegs could be detonated upon the infidels so that the suicide bomber could then attain at least 20 or 30 virgins for all eternity. Coulter embraced this wise ruling, and saw it justified that he/she could train the most holy ones into drunkenly blowing themselves up and they could do the suicide jobs for her since he/she didn't need virgins in eternity- he/she already has both genitalia.

GENERAL PETRAEUS: Well, first of all, Phantom Phoenix is, in a sense, an umbrella name for a series of offensive operations being carried out against al Qaeda in several different division areas. And you've seen some of those start already, and there will be some others that will follow.

Al Qaeda's transformation since the destruction of its Afghan training camps nearly three years ago has been chronicled extensively. Arrests and killings of senior leaders and the shutting down of major avenues of financing further fragmented the network.
