Democrats insist that they want to fight al Qaeda terrorists ... in Afghanistan. Any suggestion that there might possibly be any al Qaeda types in Iraq is met with scorn and derision. Today's case in point is courtesy the guys over at Powerline who have video of Rep. Jack Murtha accusing Gen. David Petraeus of being a political hack and a liar.
Of course, Bloomberg News isn't helping the Murtha's credibility when it has the gall to issue reports like these:
U.S. forces killed Muharib Abdullah Latif al-Juburi, a senior al-Qaeda figure the U.S. accuses of running propaganda operations and helping foreign fighters infiltrate Iraq.
Al-Juburi was killed ``resisting arrest'' in an operation west of Taji, a town north of Baghdad early on May 1, U.S. military spokesman Major General William Caldwell said at a televised news conference in Baghdad today.
Earlier today, an Iraqi Interior Ministry spokesman told state television Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, leader of Islamic State of Iraq umbrella Sunni Muslim group, had been killed by U.S. and Iraqi forces.
Didn't those terrorists know they're supposed to be in Afghanistan?
