Resistance fighters in the Iraqi city of Falluja have placed a $15 million bounty on the heads of key US occupation figures, including Secretary of Defence, Donald Rumsfeld.

The reward is also offered for the capture of US Commander in Iraq, Lieutenant-General Ricardo Sanchez and US occupation forces' spokesperson in the country, Brigadier Mark Kimmit.

A leaflet displaying pictures of the three wanted men offers "15 000 000 $ as a reward who bring one of these three heads (sic)". The "Islamic resistance in Iraq" is asked to be contacted.

Leaflets were distributed in Falluja after US occupation forces' heavy bombardment of the city overnight on Tuesday.

1. Turnabout Is Fair Play I Guess

Not saying I like this, or approve, but I seem to remember we did the same thing with regard to Iraqi Officials...

2. the famous "deck of cards" n/t

25. KRAZY KILLER KIMMITT ON THE LEFT

THAT LOOKS LIKE KRAZY KILLER KIMMITT ON THE LEFT









KRAZY KILLER KIMMITT enforcer for the Viceroy

His quote, " if you don't like watching women and children die, change the channel."

[ashling]

39. Do you have a cite for that quote?

Not that I don't believe it, but to use it again I need more than
he said it because saigon68 says he did"

Thanks

[Just Me]

5. We did exactly this same thing.

Modeling your occupier.

Good thing US citizens don't model their rulers.

This country would be in deep caa caa.

[reprobate]

12. This country IS in deep caa caa.

Look at what's sitting in the white house.

[saigon68]

28. Hey That's SANCHEZ

Hey that’s Sanchez in the middle






SORRY SANCHEZ consiglieri to the Viceroy

His quote,” We are going to Kill the Shia Criminal al Sadr”

[mbperrin]

15. Yes, we did start this. So...

[NeoConsSuck]

38. Would they take a donation..

to add to the prize money.

[hang a left]

3. Saw this late last night in GD.

Some funny jokes were made. I feel bad the poor Iraqis can't get their own deck of cards.

4. Well, they almost got Wolfowitz..

And he's half man, half wolf...IT SAYS SO IN HIS NAME!!! (Daily SHow reference...)

[calimary]

37. Well, the HALF-man part is correct.

I wouldn't go insulting wolves, though...

[donsu]

6. didn't the criminal bushgang do the same

tit for tat?

[Skip Intro]

7. And why would they need to have it written in English as well?

Are there members of the Iraqi resistance that can only read English?

Does this smell to anyone else?

[demdave]

9. Rove! Rove! Rove! He's everywhere...aaarrrrggghhh run away!!!!

The true genius of Rove's plan comes into play when they try to collect and the "resistance" can't pony up the cash. That will turn the people against them. GENIUS!!

[Skip Intro]

17. oh, ok, well that answers my question

thanks

[bemildred]

10. To avoid other parties "translations" perhaps.

This is at least partly a propaganda ploy.

[amish_enforcer]

13. Possible need for English...

maybe they don't exclude anyone from claiming? I'm sure some service people could use $15M since they aren't going to be taken care of so well once they get back home....but seriously that is a bit fishy

[VolcanoJen]

20. It REEKS. See post #19. (n/m)

:+

[DoktorGreg]

21. They are hoping a greedy repug overlooks their patriotism and takes money

EOM

[David__77]

22. To appeal to US soldiers, that's why.

That's what I would think. But more realistically, this is a political statement rather than a military tactic.

[Journeyman]

27. Psyops against our troops, possibly?. . .

Let our soldiers know there's a price on their commanders' heads, get them to wondering if the resistance will soon put a price on any American head?

[Journeyman]

29. I just read post #19. . .

and I have to say psyops might be a factor but not if the flyer is as bogus as it appears to be (I missed the 'Contact the Resistance Office' line on first glance).

[0rganism]

33. It's not just for the Iraqi resistance, ya know?

Looks like an open invitation to me. Who knows, maybe there are some mercenary bodyguards who could turn on their employers, or even a disgruntled soldier who could be convinced to do some fragging?

Whether or not the Iraqis can read english, you know damn well the American occupation leaders don't read Arabic, and this is at least partly an intimidation tactic.

[truthspeaker]

11. make that $15,000,100

Take a check?

[Gin]

16. maybe it's in English for the mercenaries....

gin

[ConcernedCanuk]

30. Exactly - I'll bet more than one Mercenary is thinking - one shot - retire

14. A contract on Rumsfeld!

:silly:

[Jacobin]

18. Guess they are learning from the occupation forces.

[VolcanoJen]

19. Nice try, Rummy!

That's the most amateur photoshop job these amateur eyes have ever seen.

Seriously.... take another look...



And, does anyone have an address or phone number for "The Islamic resistance offices in Iraq?" Could the resistance appeals for contacts be more vague?

Try harder, Rummy. Try harder.

[JohnyCanuck]

23. Have you checked the Baghdad yellow pages under "insurgents?"

>>And, does anyone have an address or phone number for "The Islamic resistance offices in Iraq?" Could the resistance appeals for contacts be more vague?<<

[leftchick]

24. Now that is interesting Jen!

I had not seen that. I wonder why al-jazeera would print this article then... :shrug:

[Just Me]

26. OMG!!! Freakin' weird!

WTF?

"Islamic resistance offices in Iraq"?

Damned tough to figure the targets in this upside-down global domination campaign, huh?

[jdj]

34. nevermind, page no longer available

within 5 minutes. weird.

[jdj]

31. (sic)? Maybe they mean heads literally.

The part that is suspicious if that they use the word "contact" and give the name of something that can't possibly exist in the form it is described "iraqi resistance offices" (yeah, you know, in the strip mall beside McDonalds) and then don't give any contact information. Maybe it's an inside joke.

[Emillereid]

32. As the old saying goes -- What goes around, comes around -- or

take your pick -- KARMA OR BLOWBACK!

[ConcernedCanuk]

35. Hmmm - I wonder if it is done on purpose ?

.
.

The person is pointing to Rummy with "THE" finger!

[daleo]

36. If anyone does the deed, I don't think they should count on being paid

They would have to be content with the satisfaction that comes with a job well done (not that I am suggesting this is a good idea, Big Brother).

40. Wanted: Rumsfeld, Sanchez and Kimmitt

Cairo - Hundreds of leaflets distributed in the embattled western Iraqi town of Fallujah on Wednesday offered a $15-million (about R60-million) reward for anyone who kills any of three top American officials involved in operations in Iraq.

The leaflets, reported by the Qatar-based al-Jazeera and other electronic media, show pictures of United States Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, top US General in Iraq Ricardo Sanchez and General Mark Kimmitt, who acts as military spokesperson in Iraq.
