- otakushark, on 10/10/2007, -14/+89 A native of Saudi Arabia, al Shayea was just 19 when he went to Iraq to fight for al Qaeda against American forces. He was angered, he said, by scenes of U.S. troops killings his fellow Muslims. "I went to Iraq with Saudi men because jihad is a duty for every Muslim," he said. "I went to Iraq to fight the jihad and kill Americans."
And that is how this war creates more terrorists than it kills off. - MrKrinkleDude, on 10/10/2007, -3/+44I wouldn't call him a "Failed suicide bomber" since, according to his story, he didn't even know the bomb was in the truck.
- hanzoom, on 10/10/2007, -12/+51too bad he didnt have a polo :P
http://www.funnyclipcentral.com/content/badterrorist.php - Frnnkdlxx, on 10/10/2007, -3/+41"As revenge for his traitorous act, Al Qaeda strapped his son with 40 pounds of explosives and dropped him off at the green zone."
Wow... Hardcore... - whatthefu, on 10/10/2007, -8/+34If you call *****, then what would be his motive for turning on al Qaeda like this?
- iDiigg, on 10/10/2007, -12/+35His motive would be not having his ass tortured by the U.S
- Noctem, on 10/10/2007, -3/+21And they say torture doesn't work.
- Armor1901, on 10/10/2007, -3/+19It's when you fail to kill yourself with a bomb that blows away a dozen other people in your area when you have to sit back and seriously ponder just how much of a failure in general you really are.
- hierophantus, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16Preferring instead to put his face and name out there and become a target for his former fellow terrorists... I don't know about that. Seems like it's a wash, leading me to think he's probably for real.
- cococooky, on 10/10/2007, -2/+14Well he did survive...."I think God took me out of death to show others what can happen,"
- gamerzworld, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13In free Iraq, suicide bombers bomb themselves!
- hierophantus, on 10/10/2007, -4/+15That doesn't make any sense. You fail at trolling.
- CourtesyFlush, on 10/10/2007, -6/+16Here we go with using normal recruitment as a valid argument.
The terrorists do not say....."Oh, wait, let's NOT bomb the evil Americans. It will only make them mad and create new American soldiers!"
Why? Because it's stupid.
Recruitment happens whether anyone dies or not. It's a part of war. It's happened during every conflict in the history of mankind.
If no one is killed, the recruitment tools simply change.
Why do egghead think tanks bring it up as if recruitment is something new? Because they know that ignorant slobs will think it's somehow a valid argument and parrot it all over the intarwebs as if they know what they're talking about. - Cowfrommars, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11That is possibly the worst flash video player i've ever seen.
- BlueSkyfish, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Hence the word, "suicide"
- fuzzmeister, on 10/10/2007, -4/+12Also, the BBC does not deny that al Qaeda exists, they have in fact done extensive reporting on the organization:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_depth/3618762.stm - ZenMojo, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10I guess that would make him a negligent homocide bomber?
- CourtesyFlush, on 10/10/2007, -3/+11Yes, because driving exploding trucks is much safer than being interrogated by those evil Americans.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9makes you wonder about some of the other 'suicide bombers', eh?
- fuzzmeister, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9You know, it is possible for people in the world to be good, even if it is convenient for people that you dislike.
- deadlikeoscar, on 10/10/2007, -5/+13Tell me when those planes hit on 9/11, you didn't want to sign up for the military and kill everyone responsible--if only for a minute. If they were in our country killing our friends, family and neighbors, you wouldn't want to fight back? Not everyone that we have killed was a terrorist. Sometimes people take up arms when they are being invaded and want to fight back. It's hard to even gauge how many people we have killed weren't just people that were pissed off that we were there.
- nepawoods, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8There's a great story behind that picture.
- CourtesyFlush, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8Actually, Mr.Pooh Flinger, proving a negative is a well known logical fallacy. If the majority of diggers weren't fifteen year old trolls with their thumbs up their asses, they'd already know about such grown up concepts.
So, while you're busy asking everyone to show your bold claims are not true in order to avoid backing them with tangible evidence and statistics, prove to us all that love-sick little green men from Mars are not piloting their super atomic saucer ships toward earth to steal all our women.
And after that, prove to us all that you don't have the herp....because I heard you do. - swordedge, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6The idea that a terrorist organization would neglect to tell the driver of the truck that they are destined to be a suicide bomber doesn't surprise me one bit. After all, al Qaeda believes that ordinary people can't make decisions on their own and must submit to the will of a king.
- nixfu, on 10/10/2007, -3/+8Hmm...
I could have sworn that the left wing has been telling us that "there is no al Qaeda in Iraq" - fuzzmeister, on 10/10/2007, -4/+9Hmmm, I wonder....
*cough* http://www.blog.thesietch.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/map01_1024.jpg *cough* - noisey, on 10/10/2007, -5/+10Which al Qaeda, the Iraq one, or the 9/11 one?
- fuzzmeister, on 10/10/2007, -5/+10Tell that to al Qaeda. While I agree the government over-emphasizes them (especially in Iraq), they definitely do exist, and are a threat.
- DRINKxREDxBULL, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5And if they are there, the noble head-chopping freedom fighters will leave as soon we do, and return Iraq to the happy magic land that it once was, causing no further violence.
- DeskFlyer, on 10/10/2007, -8/+13Here's the attack he was involved in: http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A26142-2004Dec25?language=printer
Followup story: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,148635,00.html - Nougat, on 10/10/2007, -3/+872 virgins. Jesus.
- grumpyrain, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Not really. *If what he claims is true* he was just another victim of the bombers, just one who happened to drive the truck. If a terrorist planted a bomb on a plane that disabled critical hydraulic which ultimately caused it to crash into a populated area, would you call the pilot a negligent homicide bomber? You could argue he was negligent regarding not checking the truck for bombs, but that presumes he knew what to look for and was educated enough to know what Al Qaeda stands for.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5It hurts a lot less.
- turpenine, on 10/10/2007, -13/+17you prove otherwise dickhole.
- rune420, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5If my country was invaded without having done anything to the invading nation, I know that I sure as hell would be pissed of. I might not have used the same tactics as these guys but I don't think I'd mind joining some kind of resistance force.
- zeptobyte, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Yeah. But not the ones with the explosives strapped to their bodies. They probably noticed. Of course, they may not have been willing, in that case. Who knows?
- Pinhedd, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4what they dont tell you about the virgins is that they're all men.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -5/+8Says the ***** who diggs rawstory.org and thinkprogress.org stories, along with 9/11 troofer nonsense.
- twinklyJesus, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3We don't have any bases at Mecca.
- rodbotic, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4the problem with the 7 virgins is you have to keep them that way.,
- ZenMojo, on 10/10/2007, -8/+11I have an idea. How about Saudi Arabia institute a constitutional democracy and the United States removes its bases from ***** Mecca and we all call it a day? I mean, why would be all hot ***** about overthrowing Iraq's dictator while sucking Saudi *****?
- Stevanoski, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Would love to, but approaching 60 so AAAHHHHNNNNNTTTT, you are wrong, thank you for playing, please try again with your tired old argument.
- DRINKxREDxBULL, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Ok bsmeter, I am in the military, I have been to Iraq, and I do support Steve's statement 100%. Does the fact that I, an OIF vet, think this way validate the conservative view of the war? I didn't think so. Get of off your ***** high horse.
- thefinger, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Oh sure! He says that NOW!, now that his ticket to terrorist heaven got screwed up.
- ChuckFreck, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Please, all of you Communists, Maoists, Stalinist, and hyper-left-wing Democrats back me on this. If any terrorist says anything that supports the USA's story, vilify them. Only those against us are worthy of our support. Us anti-American dick wads must stick together. Huffpo/DailyKos rules!
- bsmeteronhigh, on 10/10/2007, -4/+6Wait, he's from Saudi Arabia. Amazing. Oh, that's right, the 9/11 folks were from Saudi Arabia, too. But we invaded Iraq? And then he leaves Saudi Arabia and goes to Iraq. Hold on a second! We could have gone to Saudi Arabia! Isn't that where Osama is from, too? Wow, we could have gone to a different piece of sand with oil and got the real folks. No we couldn't. King George is friends with the house of Saud. Kiss my ring, George. Kiss, kiss.
- rune420, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Terrorism is defined as "violence or other harmful acts committed (or threatened) against civilians for political or other ideological goals" (source:wiki), which is what these guys are doing, regardless of whether or not the US was right in invading or not (they weren't). It's just two fractions of ***** fighting each other IMO (at least their leaders are).
- SomeguyUK, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2He SAYS he didnt know it was a bomb.Is there any evidence to show he's not just ***** to save his own ass??
- Nysul, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Sorry, but illegal immigrants are ruining the economies of border states, so much so in AZ that we're fed up and passing laws left and right trying to make it harder for illegals here.
- sdigroup, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2***** al quida
