Iraqi VP sees 'terrorists' shifting to other states

WASHINGTON, Nov 10 (Reuters) - Iraqi Vice President Adel Abdul Mahdi on Thursday predicted an upsurge in attacks like the Jordan hotel bombings as militants shift to targets in other Middle Eastern countries.

As Islamic militants the "are weak or weakened in Iraq, they will start to open another front in other parts of the world, including the Arab world, because there they will have appropriate ground to do so," he said.

"All countries should be concerned," he added, citing Jordan, where suicide bombings at three luxury hotels in Amman on Wednesday killed 56 people.

Mahdi addressed a think tank audience as Iraq's Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Chalabi pursued his political comeback on a simultaneous trip to Washington.



What's the deal with VP's and their "last throes"...?

They're all led by Al Zarkowi and Al Quaeda!

We're at war with a concept (Terrorism), a one legged man with the nine lives of a cat, TWO DOZEN #2 men (Al Zarkowi) AND multitudes of INTERNATIONAL, locally organized, loosely knit terrorist cells that OUR nutcases in the Executive branch refer to with the generic term "Al Quaeda."

To say that the USA is "in a world of shit" for invading Iraq and it's immoral leadership all but "bragging" about their international torture outlets, Thugs-R-US, is ... well, an understatement.

If I didn't know better, I'd think that the Neo-Con Ghouls in the Pentagon are doing everything, save for writing a "formal invitation" for the USA to be attacked in one very horrific, real way? If such an unthinkable and devastating tragedy proves real, This Criminal Executive Branch could then promptly declare Martial Law and declare our Dear Leader, King George, the lifetime Ruler of this budding Empire. :puke:

On edit: Spelling Correction :blush:

6. yes but please PLEASE darling
It's MARTIAL law. Martial = of or pertaining to the military, from Mars, the Roman god of war; Marshall is just a common name.

4. uh....60 someodd people were killed in Iraq today
according to NPR, that is. There were a couple of suicide bombings, and about 30 people were found executed in some spots.

I see that their VP is just as deluded as ours is.
