A Message From The Iraq Resistance
By: Iraqi Resistance speech on videotape December 13 2004 on: 14.12.2004 [14:56 ] (12 reads)

(4395 bytes)
People of the world! These words come to you from those who up to the day of the invasion were struggling to survive under the sanctions imposed by the criminal regimes of the U.S. and Britain.

We are simple people who chose principles over fear.

We have suffered crimes and sanctions, which we consider the true weapons of mass destruction.

Years and years of agony and despair, while the condemned UN traded with our oil revenues in the name of world stability and peace.

Over two million innocents died waiting for a light at the end of a tunnel that only ended with the occupation of our country and the theft of our resources.

After the crimes of the administrations of the U.S and Britain in Iraq , we have chosen our future. The future of every resistance struggle ever in the history of man.

It is our duty, as well as our right, to fight back the occupying forces, which their nations will be held morally and economically responsible; for what their elected governments have destroyed and stolen from our land.

We have not crossed the oceans and seas to occupy Britain or the U.S. nor are we responsible for 9/11. These are only a few of the lies that these criminals present to cover their true plans for the control of the energy resources of the world, in face of a growing China and a strong unified Europe . It is Ironic that the Iraqi's are to bear the full face of this large and growing conflict on behalf of the rest of this sleeping world.

We thank all those, including those of Britain and the U.S. , who took to the streets in protest against this war and against Globalism. We also thank France , Germany and other states for their position, which least to say are considered wise and balanced, til now.

Today, we call on you again.

We do not require arms or fighters, for we have plenty.

We ask you to form a world wide front against war and sanctions. A front that is governed by the wise and knowing. A front that will bring reform and order. New institutions that would replace the now corrupt.

Stop using the U.S. dollar, use the Euro or a basket of currencies. Reduce or halt your consumption of British and U.S. products. Put an end to Zionism before it ends the world. Educate those in doubt of the true nature of this conflict and do not believe their media for their casualties are far higher than they admit.

We only wish we had more cameras to show the world their true defeat.

The enemy is on the run. They are in fear of a resistance movement they can not see nor predict.

We, now choose when, where, and how to strike. And as our ancestors drew the first sparks of civilization, we will redefine the word “conquest.“

Today we write a new chapter in the arts of urban warfare.

Know that by helping the Iraqi people you are helping yourselves, for tomorrow may bring the same destruction to you.

In helping the Iraqi people does not mean dealing for the Americans for a few contracts here and there. You must continue to isolate their strategy.

This conflict is no longer considered a localized war. Nor can the world remain hostage to the never-ending and regenerated fear that the American people suffer from in general.

We will pin them here in Iraq to drain their resources, manpower, and their will to fight. We will make them spend as much as they steal, if not more.

We will disrupt, then halt the flow of our stolen oil, thus, rendering their plans useless.

And the earlier a movement is born, the earlier their fall will be.

And to the American soldiers we say, you can also choose to fight tyranny with us. Lay down your weapons, and seek refuge in our mosques, churches and homes. We will protect you. And we will get you out of Iraq , as we have done with a few others before you.

Go back to your homes, families, and loved ones. This is not your war. Nor are you fighting for a true cause in Iraq .

And to George W. Bush, we say, “You have asked us to ‘Bring it on’, and so have we. Like never expected. Have you another challenge?”

The dismissal came days after the dismissal of Major General Muhammad Khayri al-Burhawi, the former puppet police chief in the city. The dismissals followed a successful Iraqi Resistance offensive on the city in November in the course of which Resistance fighters seized control of Mosul, the third-largest city in Iraq.

Eight Marines die in Anbar province

Eight Marines die in Anbar province

BAGHDAD, Iraq Sunday was the deadliest day in more than a month for U-S Marines in Iraq.

Eight Marines died in fighting in Anbar province. The military says seven were killed while conducting "security and stabilization operations." It didn't give other details, saying that would put other Americans at risk.

The latest violence began when American and Iraqi forces clashed with guerrillas and ended with U-S airstrikes on suspected insurgent hideouts.

Anbar province includes the cities of Fallujah and Ramadi. Fallujah was the scene of a U-S-led offensive last month to uproot insurgents based in the city.

Sunday's deaths equaled the highest number of Marines killed in a single day since a car bomb killed eight outside Fallujah on October 30th

Falluja III About to Beginby Layth Guest on 13.12.2004 [05:00 ]

Latest reports indicate mass US armor has approached to the north of Falluja in what may be a last effort to save face and show the world that they can indeed take the small city...The convoy line streches for 35 km according to eye witness reports containing tanks, armored vehiccles, Humvees, and all other heavy weaponry... Looks like Falluja III is about to begin.

Its about time the US Soldiers revoltby Guest on 13.12.2004 [06:06 ]

How much more time till they realize they're being used and abused for business. They have been brainwashed very well to be 'Patriotic'. Among them, who see the truth will be silent for the fear of not fitting in or sounding unpatriotic. If you ask me, they need some starters - some risk takers who will take these first attempts. Others will then follow. But the starters have to be absolutely selfless coz all they would get in return for this great heroic effort is dissent, humiliation and might even be court martialled or killed. I think thats the only way to save the lives of those innocent fellow soldiers who really believe they are fighting for the country

Thank you for the great info. I had been reading about this, but I couldn't find the precise quatations any more. I was raised as a Christian, but I am very interested in Islam. My fellow-christians do not know anything, your info is very helpfull. Keep posting, Yoda.

reports of resistanceby Ana Guest on 13.12.2004 [08:34 ]

Who can tell me: what about the iraqi resistance reports. The last one was 9 dec. Where can I find them?

Anaby Iranian Shi'ite Guest on 13.12.2004 [08:59 ]

No doubt you would also like to read literature on Islam from non-Islamic sources so that you can feel assured of objectivity. The following are a couple of essays written on Islam and Christianity from one of the Jewish perspetives that I thought was interesting from an academic perspective. I don't agree with all of it - but I thought that a Western Christian would find it an interestingly new way of looking at the religions. This is from Princeton University one Jewish perspective on Islam and Christianity College of William & Mary in Virginia misreading Islam White Muslim from NorthEastern University Is there an Islamic problem As I said, the above readings are not frm Muslim perspectives and so Muslims like myself do not fully agree with them - however, they do attempt to be fair, and they are interesting, and I imagnie a non-Muslim would prefer to read objective sources.

Laythby Red Herring Guest on 13.12.2004 [11:14 ]

Fallujah III! Face-saving! 'The world's greatest military ...' Hahahahahahahah! The best these USan weaklings can hope for is to lie, lie, lie about victory in Fallujah - because only in the realms of fiction will they ever taste such a thing.

I am convertedby Ramsis Guest on 13.12.2004 [12:25 ]

I was Christian, but after reading these quotations, I became Muslim. Now where can I enrol in your next jihad against some airplane? I am now eager to teach the infidels some lessons in some elementary schools when I can be a good muslim and kill as many children as possible.

Fallujah: Mujahideen Liberate Al-Askari, Industrial Districts; US Resorts To Chemicals Dec 13, 2004 By Omar Al-Faris, JUS Mujahideen continued to tighten their grip on the besieged American troops in various locations around Fallujah over the weekend. The desperate occupying force leadership resorted to chemical weapons again after Mujahideen have launched 95 rockets at American positions after liberating the Al-Askari and Industrial districts. Bloody Fighting Ends In Liberating The Al-Askari, Industrial Neighborhoods The Fallujah Mujahideen Council has issued a military communiqué Saturday morning announcing the complete liberation of Al-Askari neighborhood which is now under total control of Mujahideen. The industrial neighborhood has also fallen to the Mujahideen. According to the communiqué, 32 American soldiers were killed, 28 others were wounded, and 2 American soldiers were captured. The two captured soldiers will be treated as prisoners of war according to Islamic rules of engagement. The Iraqi flag bearing the words "Allahu Akbar" (God is great) was erected on top of Al-Hussain Mosque. All Mujahideen have performed prayers to thank Allah for this great victory. In addition to human casualties, the Mujahideen have also destroyed 11 Abrams tanks, shot down an Apache, and hit an F-16. The fighting was intense and lasted from 21:15 Friday night until Saturday. Twenty eight Mujahideen were martyred, including a 14 years old boy who was fighting along side of his father who also was martyred. The communiqué stressed that Mujahideen now exert total control over these neighborhood and that this control can be termed as true liberation. Occupiers Fill Fallujah Skies With Poison Gases But Allah Send In Winds And Rain In a Divine victory which is not the first one, Allah has come to the aid of Fallujah residents. American occupying force bombarded Fallujah with not one but three poison gases for the first time on Sunday afternoon. According to eye witnesses, Fallujah skies were filled with a red gas, a yellow gas, and a white gas, all at the same time. But Allah has sent in gusty winds from the south, in the direction of the American troops. The gusty winds were followed by a period of heavy rain lasting for 45 minutes. With this Divine intervention, citizens of Fallujah used wet pieces of cloth to cover their noses for protection from the poison gases. The use of three gases at the same time is a clear indication of the state of desperation of the American troops. Americans have not found a way to break the will of the Mujahideen nor have they found a way to break the siege and stop daily, heavy losses. 95 Rockets Hit Occupation Forces; Fierce Fighting Erupts In Surrounding Areas Mujahideen are executing a plan called “The Killer Pocket”, in which they drag American troops to what appears to be open space, then they encircle them, and finally bombard them with rockets from areas outside and with mortar rounds from inside Fallujah. Death is usually imminent because the American troops have no way to escape alive and they have not been able to break the carefully positioned siege. American casualties are thought to be very high as rockets continued to fall on their positions from early morning Sunday. Mujahideen Level The Biggest Mosque In Fallujah To The Ground A group of Mujahideen have shelled the Al-Hadhra Mosque with heavy artilleries until it was leveled to the ground. This action was taken after the occupying Americans have converted some of its rooms to bars and others to whorehouse houses. According to Mafkarat al-Islam, several cranes are still working on removing concrete blocks and rubbles to retrieve the Americans trapped underneath the rubble. Causalities are reported however specific numbers are not available at this time.(JUS)

In desperation, mistakes are madeby TerraHertz Guest on 13.12.2004 [13:01 ]

"The convoy line stretches for 35 km..." Presumably, the intention of this convoy is to try and rescue the US troops under seige in the Fallujah area. Sounds like the IR is indeed attempting to take as many US captives as possible. The US command, of course, will be desperate to prevent that. Pictures on the net, of large numbers of US troops taken captive in Fallujah - that would be a PR disaster. So they will throw everything they can scrape together into the fight. And in so doing, make lots of stupid mistakes. Like concentrating their forces into a 35Km long missile target. Remember the 'highway of death' out of Kuwait? I wouldn't be surprised if the American commanders attempt to kill off trapped groups of US soldiers (perhaps by gassing them, with three different kinds of gas at once?) rather than allow them to surrender. 'Oh dear! It was an accident that the wind blew it towards our troops, honest!' What happened to the english IR reports? Nothing since last Wednesday, which makes them 4 days overdue. When the GRU reports ceased last year, it was due to exceptional events in Iraq (the US using a neutron bomb at Baghdad airport.) Has something equally significant happened again? To do with Fallujah, or perhaps the Iranian military 'exercises'?

Deciding Battles Being Fought in Fallujaby Layth Guest on 13.12.2004 [13:44 ]

Extremely HEAVY fighting has taken place in Falluja today in which the US forces seem to have thrown their weight into the battle for Faluja II. A column consisting of 56 Abram tanks, as well as Bradly tanks was seen entering Falluja from the western section. The IFF are reporting that Falluja is seeing some of the heaviest battles since the US began ints attck over 5 weeks ago. Tens of IFF fighters have been martyred in the fighting.

IRR reportsby Ramsis Guest on 13.12.2004 [16:15 ]

To those eager to see the IRR reports, here are the facts: The basement in which that computer issuing those reports in some Western European country got infected recentlky with a virus and it was not possible to fix it that fast because the Islamic Computer Expert was jailed recently in Pakistan during one of his trips there. So the Islamists are waiting for some expertise to clean that computer from that virus. Have patience. The report will come later with at least 30 F15 Downed, 60 Tanks destroyed, 1000 Soldiers dead, 30000 Injured, etc... Be glad, use the strong bag.

'Now where can I enrol in your next jihad against some airplane? I am now eager to teach the infidels some lessons in some elementary schools when I can be a good muslim and kill as many children as possible.' Ah, typical hypocrite opportunist American scumbag at work. Clean the indoctrinated shit out of your head before flapping those fucking lips of yours and spewing uneducated nonsense. Hijack airplanes? WHy hijack when you can shoot one down just like you did in Iran in 1980s, killing hundreds. Killing children? You killed enough in Vietnam for all of us, buddy. Back then you didnt hesitate to blow away villages full of good, modest, respectful Vietnamese children. But oh wait, I forgot. Killing is ok as long as you are the ones doing it, right? Be a good Muslim? You seem to be being a good Christian alright. Spouting ridiculous, unfounded nonsense and preaching your hatred for anyone who is NOT Christian. Youve got black people to lynch in your own country, protestants to blow up in Ireland and Jews to torture in Spain. Sorry for keeping you busy, get to work little murderer.

amazing how quickly they take off headlines involving US casualtiesby eurohippie Guest on 13.12.2004 [18:18 ]

that's exactly what I was thinking as I was looking at Yahoo news page. top AP title at the moment: "Suicide Car Bombing Kills 13 in Baghdad" (you have to read until the end of the first paragraph to know about the death of 7 marines) top Reuters title: "Bomb Kills 7 Iraqis, Year After Saddam's Capture" (the 7 marines KIA are only mentioned in paragraph 3) strange how suddenly Iraqi deaths became more newsworthy than Usans'…

As the drivers of the trucks are missing, it is believed they have been kidnapped or killed. Some masked insurgents made several statements at the scene shortly after the attack. Insurgents said that everybody helping the US forces will face such an end, a clear threat to truck drivers

ISRAEL CALLS ON NATIONALS TO LEAVE IRAQby Guest on 13.12.2004 [23:39 ]

 http://www.menewsline.com/stories/2004/december/12_14_2.html JERUSALEM MENL — Israel has called on nationals to leave Iraq immediately. Israeli officials said Israelis in Iraq were deemed to be in danger of abduction and death. They said an undetermined number of Israelis were in Baghdad as well as in northern Iraq. On Sunday, the government's Counter-Terrorism Command issued a warning against Israeli travel to Iraq. In the first such acknowledgement, the unit also called on Israelis to leave Iraq immediately." etc

When Centcom says "3 US soldiers confirmed dead" you have to translate their pig latin. In reality, since they are republicans they don't speak English. So you have to translate the language of pigs into the English language. The aforementioned quote would read in English "12 US soldiers confirmed dead and we have to lie to you so that we continue gettin paid fat checks at the end of the month for a job well done."

Something is going big in Iraqby Toyota Tank Killer Guest on 14.12.2004 [06:38 ]

I was reading Riverbend's blog and she said it was a gas shortage in all Bagdad. I think the americans are taking all the gas available for a big move in Iraq........or maybe Iran.

Toyota Tank Killerby picard (the real one) Guest on 14.12.2004 [07:01 ]

beside the reason you cited the resistance have been successful of late at blowing up pipelines, oil wells & supply convoys adding to the shortage. your average Iraqi has to wait on line for hours to get a few gallons at the rationing price.

Fuel Consumptionby Blue Agua Guest on 14.12.2004 [11:19 ]

A few details for us to work on here.Those Fuel tankers that we see on the road can carry anywhere from between 20,000 litres to 60,000 ltrs. Quite a lot.From what i can tell the majority of tankers are the 20,000 ltr transport capacity.Heres a link take a look for yourself.  http://www.tantri.com/Tanker%20Trailers.htm An Abrahams Tank needs 3.5 litres of Fuel to travel 1km.
