Saudi terror suspect said killed in Iraq

From the Miami Herald:

BAGHDAD, Iraq - One of Saudi Arabia's most-wanted suspected terrorists was killed by a U.S. airstrike in northwestern Iraq, the leader of al-Qaida in Iraq said, and two car bombs outside Shiite mosques in central Baghdad killed 15 and wounded 28 Thursday, police said.

The latest violence followed a series of car bombs late Wednesday, including four that exploded within minutes of one another. At least 23 people were killed in western Baghdad's Shula neighborhood and a nearby suburb.

The Web statement said Abdullah Mohammed Rashid al-Roshoud was killed in fighting near Qaim, on the border with Syria. It was signed by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the most notorious terrorist leader in Iraq.

The statement did not say when al-Roshoud was killed, but U.S. forces have launched a series of offensives near Qaim in past weeks against militants coming across the border.

Al-Roshoud slipped into Iraq in April, according to the posting, the authenticity of which could not be confirmed.

The Saudi militant and a group of mujahedeen "killed some of the Crusaders until the enemies of God had to withdraw."

"When the Crusaders could not enter the area, the only thing they could do was bombard the mujahedeen with warplanes," it said. "Our sheik (al-Roshoud) got what he wished" - martyrdom.

Al-Roshoud had been No. 24 on a list of the 26 most-wanted terrorist leaders put out by Saudi Arabia two years ago and was one of only three militants on the list still at large. He was one of the main theologians for al-Qaida's network in Saudi Arabia, calling for a holy war against the Saudi royal family and Western interests in the Persian Gulf...

GOD BLESS THE USA AND HER FIGHTING FORCES AND ALL WHO FIGHT WITH HER GIVE THEM STRENGTH, WISDOM, SIGHT, AND COURAGE TO STAY THE COURSE TO DESTROY ALL ISLAMIC TERRORIST AND ALL WHO SUPPORT THEM OPEN THE WORLDS EYES TO THEIR THREAT GIVE THE WORLD COURAGE TO STAND AND FIGHT THEM LET NOT THE WORLD BE DECEVIED BY THEM AMEN

So, the muslim terrorist "got what he wished", which coincidentally is what we would have wished for him as well, so where's the problem? Hellfire missles to dispatch them all to meet their prophet in hades.

How can we encourage more Saudi terrorists to enter Iraq and challenge the Marines in open battle?

Given their intrinsic penchant for delusion, let the Saudis be told how much in awe and fear of the Saudi tribal wrath the infidels really are. That sure will get plenty wannabe jihadis out of the woodwork

Given their disposition of believing fantasies, let the Saudis be told that there're these huge infidel ammo dumps lying unguarded near the syrian border with Iraq which can be easily taken over by the brave saudi jihadi mujahideen.....

Let those $%#@&* come in their 1000s and be granted their martyrdom wish....

A while ago Bush said "bring 'em on..." Now they are coming in droves.

The Law of supply and demand reigns supreme: Give the Jihadis what they want! To put them out of their misery is doing them a favor by the looks of it.
