U.S.: No. 2 leader of al-Qaida in Iraq killed

BAGHDAD — American troops acting on a tip killed the No. 2 leader of al-Qaida in Iraq — a Moroccan known for his ability to recruit and motivate foreign fighters — in a raid in the northern city of Mosul, the U.S. military said Wednesday.
The military statement described the man, known as Abu Qaswarah, as a charismatic leader who had trained in Afghanistan and managed to rally al-Qaida followers in Iraq despite U.S. and Iraqi security gains.
Rear Adm. Patrick Driscoll, a U.S. spokesman in Baghdad, also said the military suspected that Iranian agents were trying to bribe Iraqi politicians to oppose negotiations over a security pact that would extend the presence of American troops in Iraq.

How can that be??? There ain't no Al Qaida in Iraq. That's what the democrats have been telling me. This article must have been some kind of misprint. I just can't believe it. Al-Qaida? Iraq? No way...they are only in Afganistan and Pakistan...everybody knows that!

Yeah, but they have one hell of a life insurance policy. Return of premiums if you live longer than six weeks.

The easiest thing is to find it already posted somewhere on the Internet and then use their image and post it with the IMG tags. I'm not sure why it shows some pics and not others when attached and placed inline.
