"The Crusaders mobilized their big armies and used the most destructive and lethal weapons and the most deadly and hurtful poison gas together with their stooges," he said. "But God made them drink at the hands of the mujahedeen the different kinds of death and made them face horrible things that they will never forget."
Really? Let's look at the numbers.
U.S. and Iraqi forces attacked the insurgent stronghold on Saturday and by Sunday night reported 156 militants were killed and 246 captured.
And on the other side.
Five Iraqi soldiers have been killed and three injured in the operation.
I've also read somewhere that this if the first operation of this size where the Iraqi forces led the mission and outnumbered the American forces.
In further signs that Zarqawi is losing, it's worth noting "...that residents and leaders there who are fed up with insurgents "asked us to intervene."
And
Al-Dulaimi said there had been requests for similar actions in other places and said he wanted to tell the citizens in Ramadi, Qaim, and Samarra that "we are coming."
Meanwhile, Zarqawi rants on.
The man on the audio recording urged his fighters to be ready for a "final" battle and show no kindness to the Americans, whom he called "cowards who always seek to run away."
With a kill ratio of 31 to 1 and the local populace against him, Zarqawi's men are about to meet their final battle.
Anyone on the left still want to make the Vietnam comparison?
