Dispatch from the Religion of Peace

Yahoo News is reporting that al Queda is inciting more chaos in Iraq:

A man claiming to be a senior al-Qaida figure that the United States believes is operating in Iraq has released a tape calling for the country's Sunni Muslims to fight Shiites and claiming responsibility for high-profile attacks there.

The speaker on the tape claimed responsibility for a March 17 car bombing of a Baghdad hotel that killed seven people.

The speaker also said that his group carried out the assassination of Ayatollah Mohammad Baqr al-Hakim . . . Al-Hakim was killed by a car bomb.

The speaker also threatened to kill Gen. John Abizaid, head of the Central Command; L. Paul Bremer, the top U.S. administrator in Iraq; and "their generals, soldiers and associates."

One theme of the tape echoed that of a letter U.S. authorities released earlier this year in which al-Zarqawi purportedly wrote to other al-Qaida leaders that the best way to undermine U.S. policy in Iraq was to turn the country's religious communities against each other.

He called upon Sunni Muslims in Iraq to "burn the earth under the occupiers' feet."

How lovely. These are the people the Democrats would deal with using their "nuanced" policy. I say we send them to meet Allah pronto, rather than have them meet with Madeleine Albright.
