The Palestinian Card
More evidence AQ in Iraq is on the ropes. MEMRI:
In a 30-minute video posted February 14, 2008 on the Islamist website Al-Hesbah (hosted by NOC4Hosts Inc. in Florida), Abu Omar Al-Baghdadi, commander of the Al-Qaeda-founded organization Islamic State of Iraq (ISI), presents his position on “winning the war against the Jews.” In it, he calls Israel “a malignant germ that was implanted in the heart of the Islamic nation and must be eradicated,” and stresses that liberating Al-Aqsa mosque is a duty incumbent upon each and every Muslim. He also accuses Hamas of treason for entering into the political process with Israel while turning its back on jihad fighters around the world.
Addressing the Palestinians, Al-Baghdadi calls on them to embrace the path of jihad, and to make no distinction between the infidel Jews and the Palestinians who betray Islam. He advises them to establish a special Salafi organization to train the children of the stones in noble jihad goals, and urges them to eradicate Shi’ism, which has begun to spread in Palestine in the guise of “resistance.” He also calls upon all Muslims to strengthen the existing jihad fronts – especially in Iraq and Afghanistan – and to establish new jihad fronts in order to take some of the Israeli-American pressure off the Palestinians. Finally, he offered the Palestinians economic aid as well as help in training fighters and in manufacturing rockets.
Following are excerpts from his address:
MEMRI delivers the transcript on last week’s news here. Barely able to maintain in Iraq, does AQI actually seek to seize marketshare from the Zionist lickspittle, Shiite lackeys of Hamas, open up its own Palestinian franchise, and be recognized as the flame-broiled Whopper of the Palestinian cause? Is it so bad in Iraq they’d actually want to go to Gaza? It’s not necessarily going from the grill to the griddle. Could be an improvement, given Israeli reluctance at present to do more than lob missiles. Or are they just playing the Palo card for cash and recruits? Sounds like desperation in any case.
Threatswatch’s money is on cash: “The Obligatory Abu Omar al-Baghdadi Telethon and Emergency Fund Drive.”
By the way, good jihad-minded Muslims of the world, as you mull committing your cash or your souls to the righteous liberation of Palestine fro Zionist domination under the auspices of AQI, do not be troubled by Crusader lies that the head of AQI known as Omar al-Baghdadi is shahid, or bullshid.

I smell not only desperation, but possibly the waning of the Palestinians as a casus belli for Arab public opinion. About time.
