re: Wolfowitz retracts claim of al-Qaida strength in Iraq
You guys need to get your talking points straightened out. I've been hearing a lot of criticism about how the attack on Iraq increased the flow of terror groups into the country. Now, you're saying that it's all Baathists and no terrorists? If the latter is true, that's pretty good news for the long term prospects of peace.
In point of fact, the idea that Islamists aren't coming into this battle as we speak is ludicrous.
...Muslims' doctrine and banner should be clear in fighting for the sake of God. He who fights to raise the word of God will fight for God's sake.
Under these circumstances, there will be no harm if the interests of Muslims converge with the interests of the socialists in the fight against the crusaders, despite our belief in the infidelity of socialists.
The jurisdiction of the socialists and those rulers has fallen a long time ago."
