Title: Bush……..Why the Hurry?!?!

Peace to you by the Grace of God,

We solute the dear resistance factions and May god be your protector.

The War Criminal Rumsfield has spoken of lies when he claimed negotiations, for he today curls in Pain.

We Rafidan, represent part of the resistance factions, confirm only to reinforce a driven nail in this war criminal's head, that there is no such word "negotiation" in our political agenda. We have a phrase though, that calls to fight the invaders till their defeat, & war criminals are to be brought to justice, Iraq is to be compensated for the losses, & revenge must be taken from all those who supported the sanctions & the annihilation of the Iraqi people & their army. 

Let us all ask ourselves, why Rumsfield, Rice, & Blair, reiterated this lie in a synchronized manner!

Before Two Years, Bush:

- Declares war on us, & the congress rejoices, the congress rises and falls seven times to express their support to this tyrant. 

- He acquired media statistics that declare 85% support from his people who are waiting for Iraq to be annihilated from this planet. (Today, we know where he got his figures!)

- This tyrant issued many laws which reduce freedom & all were silent!

- He insults the U.N. & governments till they recited his prayers and submitted to his will in support of his so called war on terror.

- He cried for the innocent lives taken on 9/11, everyone believed him, despite all the evidence that the stunt was prepared by his CIA and the Zionists  and patsies.

Where is Bush Today?

- The congress shouts, where are the WMDs? Why did we lose 2000 of our soldiers and 12,000 injured as admitted by the pentagon, where were 200 billion Dollars spent, which companies made the profits? Then the congress demands the resignation of Rumsfield!

- His new figures claim 60% of his people urge for a quick withdrawal from our land.

- Proceedings for a popular war tribunal have already begun in Istanbul and in European Cities!

- His Generals need 10 to 12 years and 150 thousand soldiers on continued Duty & over one trillion Dollars every five years & want to leave the whole world to deal with the Iraqi Resistance!

- His alliances crumble and his partners in crime flee gradually.

- Blair is defeated in Parliament and will be relieved from his party within a year!

- Europe, The Russians, the Chinese are watching the raging tired and bleeding American bull, and are rejoicing the strikes of the resistance in heart. Before the final blow!

- His soldiers flee the fields to live as refugees, to form groups of influence, along with pilots who call for the refusal of active duty in protest to the lies told.

- Bush today begs for international assistance and talks are held worldwide and round the clock to find what one can, of contributors who may fund the puppet governments of Ayad Allawi and Jafari, no one wants to invest!

What Happened?

When Rumsfield visited Baghdad lately, quietly, like the coward thief he is, he met with his secret army which he quietly established in 2002 from 130 criminals and with the cost of 140 million dollars of an annual budget. Among them is the former American Ambassador & James Styles, The hit squad leader from the Salvador. & Steve Castle the head of the Sabotage and assassination forces in Bolivia, & Colombia, he is today the advisor of the puppet Persian interior minister they have appointed in Baghdad.

The Summary of their meetings was, simply, that it is not possible to bring defeat to the resistance. The best solution is to seek a political way out, or to withdraw, under U.S. conditions.

As for the cause of their depression, it is due to the fact that they have tried all the tricks of the trade in their books. Assassinations, Sabotage, market fires, unemployment, sectarian agendas, lack of electricity, cutting water supplies, blowing water pipelines, poisoning water reservoirs & food reserves, mixing wheat with heavy metal powders, but the Iraqis were patient, and have found the remedy to this disease!

Rumsfield was surprised, due to the resignation of Paul Wolfowitz, his accomplice in crime after failing to find a solution that may set aside the firepower of the resistance. For he has not yet forgotten the night we forced him to run for his life in his under pants from the Rashid Hotel in the early days of the occupation. The news broadcasters may remember his humiliation! It seems that he convinced his master that as a Zionist that he is, he is more capable in reducing the world population and put those who remain alive in dept to America for as long as they live using the world bank!

Suddenly, the American Administration, were surprised due to their stupidity that Iran did not respect the secret deal they agreed upon. In cooperating to bring stability at least in the southern areas of Iraq, Iran has extended its interests to increase their influence to other Gulf States, like Bahrain where we see the continued sectarian demonstrations and in Saudi Arabia, where Shiites reside in Hasa and Dammam, also oil rich areas! These areas are now boiling with sectarian agendas and with the direction of Qumm in Iran and under the supervision of Persian Sistani. 

Today the Pentagon has discovered that there is a doomed future to the oil rich area and the future explosive environment lurking in the dark corner ahead. Especially after the eventual discovery that they just made in finding out that Iraq, is the true black hole that will pull this Middle East to an anarchy which know one can predict it's end!

Here, the European Community entered in fear and compromised with the bush administration to accept & recognize the puppet governments in return for political solutions.

Rumsfield also found a solution which he thinks may save him!

The return to the Kissinger method in Vietnam, when he requested negotiations, he began bombardment!

He began with the destruction of Al Qaem, Karabila, in his spear operation, and instructed his puppet Persians in the appointed government to initiate operation thunder, to kidnap, kill and imprison! He also used the Dagger operation of "Rustum" ( Persian General who lost the battle of Qadisiah against the Arabs in history) to stab the innocent day and night in the streets, cars, and markets. Then he requested to negotiate; for he seeks knowledge of the secrets that bring life to the Iraqi resistance, who are it's true leaders? who will sell out and accept treason? Why do they prefer Iraq as a future than the current and running bank accounts? Why can they not be bought? 

Thus, Negotiations are the new lie of the weapons of mass treason!

We predict more air raids and destruction of our cities and villages. More killing and kidnaps, just as they did in Vietnam and Algeria before they fled. This in return, gives us the right to use all the types of weapons in our arsenal because American Fascism will not be defeated easily and the fight will continue to be fierce for some time and bloody too!

We also predict, that the son of all criminals Ayad Allawi will be re-awarded control of the rudder of treason along with Chalabi, Sistani, and Badr Militia. Because they are all now, in one boat, on their journey of defeat. Allawi, is now performing and visiting Arab Governments which continue to treat him as a prime minister still, by orders of their American Embassies.

What Does Rafidan Say?

1- We have forced the invaders now to recognize our existence and naming clearly the Iraqi Resistance and thus have forced the general media to follow suite.

2- We have rendered useless the enemies high tech space weaponry and satellites and are hunting them down on our land at the time of our choosing.

3- Because they practice crimes and kill people indiscriminately, this gives us the right to reply with weapons they cannot imagine we will present to all our sons in order to bring the defeat of the American Fascists administration starting from Sharnaka 2 and Masamir 4 ?!?! 

4- As long as the invaders destroy our nation, then there is no reason to stop any Iraqi or Arab abroad from striking back in their countries of residence or at enemy bases in occupied Kuwait or Jordan!

Finally, Do you really want to Negotiate? We Accept, But under our Conditions!

- All enemy troops are to withdraw to the occupied city of Kuwait.
- Then we sit under the exact same tent, that Schwarzkopf erected at Safwan, only this time it is to be erected in Matlaa the generally known and accepted borders of Iraq, and with the authorization of our new government, which will be declared soon at the correct timing from our Baghdad, we will negotiate your surrender !

We have the Oath of God!!!

The Iraqis did not kill our ambassador
Friday, July 08, 2005 3:23 PM

The death of our ambassador ended an important and short lived drama in Egypt: sending him, confusion about why he was sent, appeals made to not send him, kidnapping him, appeals made to release him, and finally killing him. With the termination of this episode another more sensational one seems to be about to be released. Like our movies, it is not difficult to anticipate where the scenario is taking us. The regime will try to provoke an angry popular response to this brutal and miserable death and to use it to its favor. It will try to capitalize on this anger to acquire sympathy
and support for its rotten regional role, for its bankrupt local performance, to attack and weaken popular solidarity with the resistance in Iraq, maybe even to launch a campaign against resistance to occupation in general, to undermine rising anti regime groups back home, and to dilute anti imperialism sentiments in Egypt. And its attempt will fail because it is simply based on a lie about who is responsible for the murder that people see well.
 

What happened might end up being more than just one tragic incident; it can recur in the future. It could be only a beginning of a trend, and it could very well repeat not only in Iraq but possibly also in Gaza after the so-called withdrawal. And because it could probably recur more than once, they must do all that they could to somehow diffuse its potential anti regime and anti imperialist threat and to use the anger that such an event would most probably generate to their favor. Bush and Blair attempt the same thing every day to counter their people¹s angry reactions about their casualties in Iraq. And because this event and its like expose the realities of the alliances being made, they will surely try to confuse us about who is to blame, hoping that if they succeed now, it would help them in the future as it recurs.
 

The game that they will play is an old one. The regime will most certainly try to take advantage of our innate capacity to reject the slaying of a fellow citizen and our tendency to react chauvinistically, which never failed to be provoked when needed. In fact, this has already started spontaneously and several messages on Egyptian email groups reflect it. They are also most likely to attempt personalizing the event and remind us day and night of what a great man the deceased was and how he courageously served his country; a convenient and continual reference to his family would also doubtless make its way to the media. The media will therefore portray the event as an honorable death; that of a hero serving his country and performing his duty. Some of us will also participate in this. In fact, some of us already are. Soon after he was kidnapped some people reacted negatively against the resistance and rapidly began to exchange information about the honesty of the deceased on email groups. We also began to wonder about the agony that his family must be passing through as he was kidnapped. Many prayed for his release and safe return for his family. We also quickly discovered that he was popular among everyone that knew him or worked with him, that he was a man of exceptional conduct, that he loved his country, and that he was highly educated. He was in short a good diplomat, an amazing man, and a great loss. Despite our tendency to inject our emotions in these representations, there is no reason to believe that this was not the case. We might have very well lost an honest patriot who wanted to serve his country and thought that he was doing so. Egyptians therefore have the right to condemn those who killed him, and ask for vengeance. I share this with them.

 
But who killed him? Why would anyone kill a man known for honesty and integrity? Was it the Iraqi resistance? The answer seems very clear to me: of course not. The perpetrators of this crime are very obvious. We all know them. Our ambassador was killed by the US administration and its client regime in Cairo. They are the ones to blame, not the resistance. And they killed him many times, not just once as we think. They killed him once when he, a man who wanted to serve his country, was sent to Iraq against the wishes of the people of Egypt. They killed him a second time when his life was physically ended so disgracefully and when he was slaughtered as if a filthy thing. And they killed him again when he, an honest man as he seems to have been, died for one of the most dishonest causes. And they are killing him right now as they use his death to arouse popular sentiments against resistance and in support of the regime. The resistance did not kill him, they did.
 

How can anyone justify his honest trip to Iraq? The US is destroying Iraq and our regime is clearly trying to legitimize its presence there. It has even gone as far as calling out loud on the American troops not to withdraw from Iraq in the name of stability and fighting terrorism; it must stay to prevent Iraq from falling into chaos, we were asked to believe. Only an extremely pathetic regime that can't come to grasp how bankrupt it has become can make statements like this and ask us to believe it. The US and its clients are the ones who should be blamed for everyone killed in Iraq, anyone killed from any side involved. They are the criminals, not the ones who fight to liberate their country. By sending an ambassador to Iraq, the regime was serving US occupation and joining those who rushed to provide a government of traitors with diplomatic legitimacy against its people. By providing training to the Iraqi police, the regime was taking part in equipping the criminal government with the tools needed to massacre and torture Iraqi people, the very tools that are ruthlessly used to silence everyone who rejects occupation. And, by appointing an ambassador to Iraq and calling for prolonging the occupation, the regime is not only providing these filthy services for the brutal colonial rule and its corrupt cronies, and providing moral support for war criminals of the worst grade, but it is also acting against wide popular Egyptian consensuses. Like everything that
they do, they did this in spite of our very clear and unequivocal rejection. It was a completely illegitimate act and should never be portrayed as having been taken for some "Egypt" He did not die for us; we were against this mission, against every bit of it.

 
And why did they send him? To please the US by providing the government of traitors in Iraq with moral diplomatic support? For sure. But this is only one of the stories being circulated about the expected roles of the Egyptian diplomatic mission in Iraq. The US wanted more than just legitimization, and our regime was willing to comply as usual. As he was sent to his new post news leaked that ³Egypt² plans to take part in attempts to integrate the Sunna into the political process. What does that mean? If this were true it could only mean that the regime was trying, with others in the region, to convince the Sunna to join the occupation government, and by extension, that the regime was trying to make a way for some of the resistance groups to negotiate with the Americans; that is, to give up armed resistance. One can easily believe these news leaks to be true. It fits well with the formal position of all US clients in the region. They repeatedly declare that the so-called Sunni camp must be given proper space in the rotten political process. We also have ample evidence that our regime does not mind at all to broker against resistance. Our regime has already played this role far too many times in Palestine, and it is trying at this very moment to convince Hamas to join the government of Abou Mazen; reads, to concede in exchange for some peace that would be defined later, some time in the next millennia. The job in Iraq was therefore to be called integrating the Sunna in; ending the chaos; regaining stability in a chattered country; but again, in plain language, all this means simply to quit resistance. The Americans are giving signals that they want to negotiate, and only with some of the resistance groups. They want to get them out of the resistance cam and reduce the size of the overall resistance. This requires help from client regimes in the region, supreme among which is ours. Some resistance groups are also flirting with this proposal. The Americans seem to think that if they manage to get a couple of these organizations to quit resistance, it would be easier to smash the rest. If our regime was indeed planning to play a role in this, then it should not surprise us that our ambassador was snatched very quickly by the most radical organization in the resistance. To them, such a role must appear to be more dangerous than everyday American military operations, and they must have been determined to stop it at any cost.

 
What a shameful death for a respectable man, one who was probably convinced that he could take part in serving his country and helping the Iraqis out of a mess caused by what Egyptian diplomats must believe to be a futile resistance. I have no doubt that he believed that he was serving Egypt and
that the Iraqis' would appreciate Egyptian support, and that we are all not realistic in our support for resistance as a way out. This, if anything, shows how little they trust and respect us. They know better and we are to be treated like children and not to be taken seriously. They do not appreciate how we see what they call supporting the Iraqis. They see themselves as being above sentimental popular analysis and seem to know well that history is shaped in the closed rooms of the elite. They don¹t buy what we say and ridicule our beliefs. His appointment to Iraq can not be understood as anything but a symbol for that they strongly believe we don't matter. That could also be the reason why he went for a stroll in Baghdad without having protection, which shows how completely misguided and detached from people struggle our regime has become. The Iraq resistance, to his fatal surprise, is not viewing acts of legitimizing the current Iraqi regime or the attempts to help them negotiate with the Americans, if indeed they were being undertaken, as ways out as much as they see them as ways to force voluntary servitude. We view it the same. Within the current political configuration men and women of integrity become recruited in a regime headed quest for providing moral support for the US project in Iraq and the massacring, torture, rape, and destruction of livelihoods that it promotes. They become recruited in this against overwhelming wishes of the Egyptian people and claim to honestly represent them. They see no contradiction between their actions and their claims.

 
This murder was very clearly perpetuated by the regime and its imperialist overlord, not the Iraqis. The resistance is not to blame. He should never have been there to start with. We do not respect what this respectable man went to Iraq for. Our ambassador's death was the outcome of an American policy that was implemented by our regime. When they proceed to kill him for the last time; when they remind us day and night about his family, his death in serving duty, his patriotism, we will remember who really killed him. We will also remember that in the current political climate that we live in respectable Egyptian men and women can very well end up dying many times in serving extremely disrespectable ends.
