U.S. Military Pounds Targets in and Around Falluja
By TERENCE NEILAN
Published: October 15, 2004
American jets, helicopters and artillery pounded insurgents today in and around
Falluja, which the military says is home to a terror network headed by the
Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
The operation, which was supported by American marines, soldiers and Iraqi
forces, came as the Islamic holy month of Ramadan began, and a day after Mr.
Zarqawi claimed responsibility for twin bombings in Baghdad's heavily-guarded
Green Zone that killed at least five people.
It also follows his rejection of peace talks with the Iraqi interim government,
headed by Prime Minister Ayad Allawi, who had demanded that the rebels hand over
Mr. Zarqawi or face military action.
In other violence today, a car bomb exploded on a busy street in southern
Baghdad, killing 10 Iraqis four laborers working in a nearby palm grove, a
family of four traveling on the road, and two bystanders, the military said.
The vehicle, estimated to be loaded with nearly 300 pounds of explosives, was
aimed at an Iraqi police patrol, the military said. Four policemen were wounded.
Also today, Poland said it planned to reduce the number of its troops in Iraq
early next year, and will not remain there "an hour longer than is sensible."
Poland has about 2,500 troops in Iraq and has often been cited by President Bush
as an important contributor to the multinational coalition in the country.
Falluja was hit by a number of American airstrikes on Thursday, including some
aimed at buildings identified as safehouses and ammunition storage areas for Mr.
Zarqawi's group.
The American military, referring to the group headed by Mr. Zarqawi, One God and
Jihad, said today, "This element has been planning to use the holy month of
Ramadan for attacks against the Iraqi interim government and innocent Iraqis."
The military added, "Operations in Falluja will continue so long as terrorists
remain in the city."
But a military spokeswoman in Baghdad, Sharon Walker, said, "It is not the
beginning of a major offensive."
Three people were killed and seven others were wounded during the night,
according to Dr. Rafia Hiyad of Falluja General Hospital, The Associated Press
reported.
In a separate development, the police in Falluja, a Sunni Muslim city west of
Baghdad, said American marines had arrested the chief negotiator with the
interim government, Khaled al-Jumaili, news agencies reported.
The military, however, said it had no confirmation of the arrest.

Please use the direct dictionary meaning of "genocide" instead of your
perverted imaginary meaning.
Main Entry: genocide
Pronunciation: 'je-n&-"sId
Function: noun
: the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or

What is being destroyed are the terrorists and their supporters. When this
happens Moslem terrorists always try to blame their victims in their
imaginary war against the people (democracy). Time for them to separate the
terrorists and terrorism from their religion.

When will the people of Iraq stand up for their country and freedom and turn

Well said. The terrorists need to be eradicated, and the people of Iraq need
to stand up against these terrorists. Either the people of Iraq need to kill
those terrorists, or they need to turn them over to American forces, or tell
the American forces where they are at.
These terrorists have no love for the people of Iraq, they just see a power
vacum, and they are trying to become the next Saddam.
So the people of Iraq need to use this chance to make their country reflect
what the people want.

They aren't just a ``few'' ``thugs''. In fact the Iraq war has grown
them.
There was a quadruple increase in the size of the resistance fighters
in the last 12 months, according to sources in Washington.
And you might have answered your own question:
When will the people of Iraq stand up for their country and freedom
and turn on these few thugs who are causing all the problems.
If people are still asking the ``when will'' question and at the same
time seeing the quadruple increase in the size of insurgency, the
answer is pointing away from their expectation. The reality is saying
that all these massacres of civilians in the stealth of night is
breeding animosity and steeling the will of those who oppose to the
American-led occupation. Saddam is gone, out of power! Zarqawi is a
myth constructed to serve the power-elite's war agenda.

========
1) Quadruple increase in the size of insurgency
From stopthewar@worldnet.att.net Sun Oct 17 03:20:33 EDT 2004
Article: 316938 of soc.culture.iraq
The checkpoint consisted of complex barriers and was considered
key to the Zarqawi network's ability to control movement into
and out of the city. ... Numerous Zarqawi operatives have also been
captured. ["Numerous Zarqawi operatives"?! Whatta joke!! ]
Fallujah's negotiators say they don't know where
Zarqawi is either. Zarqawi isn't telling. Anyone a member
of his group, probably doesn't carry a membership card.
Bombing the city with warplanes isn't finding Mr. Zarqawi.
Last time Bush marched fascist force into the city, hundreds
of Iraqis were killed, starting to fill up a soccer stadium. It
makes one wonder if the Bush military was primarily killing
"terrorists" or just plain garden variety Iraqis who don't like
their country being occupied by people with guns who aren't
Iraqis. So here is the score: Bush has killed roughly 30,000
Iraqis. Bush has brought death and destruction to Iraq.
Instead of freedom, Bush has brought bloodshed. Instead
of elections, Bush has brought military occupation. Instead
of truth, Bush is spinning lies. Bush lied about the WMD's
and Bush is lying about everything else. Given the plain
fact that the promised WMD's have not been found, there
is no possibility of putting in credence in anything the Bush
White House war machine wants us to believe about Mr.
Zarqawi's whereabouts, membership, or any of the other
"work", "progress", "freedom on the march" crap that the
Bu#@($es want us to believe.
There is another misconception being promoted here.
Taking out Zarqawi won't solve our problems in Iraq. There
are over 55 different Iraqi resistance groups in Iraq fighting
the occupation. We aren't just fighting isolated terrorists
(the ones who chop heads of people). We are fighting
tens of thousands of guerilla fighters that have the support
of the Iraqi population.
"WASHINGTON -- Four out of five Iraqis report holding a negative
view of the U.S. occupation authority and of coalition forces,
according to a new poll conducted for the occupation authority.
In the poll, 80 percent of Iraqis surveyed reported a lack of
confidence in the Coalition Provisional Authority, and 82 percent
said they disapprove of the United States and allied militaries
in Iraq."

2) Zarqawi: A mythical target for the IRaq war machine

Zarqawi: Bush's man for all seasons by Pepe Escobar
"Oh Allah, America came with its horses and knights to challenge Allah and
his message. Oh Allah, destroy the kingdom of Bush as you destroyed the
kingdom of Caesar." - Abu Musab al-Zarqawi audio, February 2004
"You know, I hate to predict violence, but I just understand the nature of
the killers. This guy, Zarqawi, an al-Qaeda associate - who was in Baghdad,
by the way, prior to the removal of Saddam Hussein - is still at large in
Iraq. And as you might remember, part of his operational plan was to sow
violence and discord amongst the various groups in Iraq by cold- blooded
killing. And we need to help find Zarqawi so that the people of Iraq can
have a more bright ... future." - President George W Bush, June 2004
"If they do not turn in al-Zarqawi and his group, we will carry out
operations in Fallujah. We will not be lenient." - Iyad Allawi, Iraqi prime
minister, October 2004
Former US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) asset turned Iraqi prime
minister, Iyad Allawi, is set to give the go-ahead to what the US Army twice
could not bring itself to carry out: the leveling of Fallujah. Following a
purely military logic, this is the next step after the barrage of precision
strikes that are killing dozens of Sunni Iraqi civilians, according to
Fallujah hospital reports.
Negotiations are going on. Allawi's government sounds optimistic. Sheikh
Khaled al-Jumeili is the key Fallujah negotiator. There seems to be a deal
on the table according to which the Iraqi National Guard - including a
number of Fallujah residents - will control security in the city of 300,000,
and residents with relatives killed or wounded by the American offensives
and precision strikes may receive compensation.
But the key point is the handover of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Al-Jumeili says
there are only a few foreign jihadis in the city - a fact confirmed to Asia
Times Online by sources in Baghdad close to the resistance in Fallujah.
Al-Jumeili insists they are not terrorists, but plain mujahideen. One of the
Baghdad sources is adamant, "What the Americans could not get the first time
they are now getting through Allawi. Zarqawi is just an excuse for them to
smash the spirit of the resistance."
There's another crucial point. Exactly which "Zarqawi" is everybody talking
about?
The making of a legend Before January 2003, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was little
known. Very few people were even aware of the one-legged ethnic Palestinian
Ahmed Fadeel al-Khalayleh,
