[Very Important report especially for
American
audiences.]
Week 1: March 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26:
Bush
Lost his Chance. Saddam Defiant
by Buut Shikan (Idol Breaker)
Bush and Blair seemed ready to crush Iraq
and humiliate Saddam
Hussain. The U.S. and "Great" Britain" assembled
the most powerful armada in
recent history. This buildup was difficult
because even corrupt Muslim rulers
would not openly allow their lands to be used for
the crusaders. Hence Bush
and Blair used a "trojan horse": "inspectors"
were sent in to provide the
time needed to deploy the crusaders. When the
situation was ripe, Kofi Annan
helped the invasion by abruptly withdrawing the
inspectors and all U.N.
representatives.
With overwhelming firepower at their
behest, the yankees and the brits
sensed that a historic moment had arrived. These
were their "win, win"
possibilities, almost probabilities:
1. Saddam would leave and retire to Russia or
Saudi Arabia.
2. The Iraqi military would agree to surrender or
to "not fight."
3. Even if fighting took place, there would be
Shia and Kurdish uprisings
against Saddam leading to an Iraqi collapse.
The situation looked so good that General Tommy
Franks decided to take the
short cut and simply kill Saddam and six of his
top leaders through a
"decapitation" strike which took place on March
19.
Unfortunately for Bush and Blair, the
window of opportunity has
closed. All their plans have failed.
1. President Saddam Hussain not only refused to
leave, he ridiculed the very
idea. Today he stands defiant as the leader of
the Muslim world ready to
accept
martyrdom,
a Hussain of our time, with all
of Iraq as Kerbala. He is
also seen as a potential Saladin (Salahuddin
Ayyubi) who personally, or as a
symbol, might liberate Jerusalem from the
Jewish
thugs who have occupied
Palestine.
2. The Iraqi military did not surrender and made
the "around the clock"
U.S.-Brit propaganda campaign sound naive.
3. The Kurdish and Shia uprisings did not took
place. The British
propagandists became desperate enough to claim
that a Shia uprising was
starting in Basra on March 25 but by March 26
this story had been exploded.
Worse of all for Bush and Blair, the
"decapitation" strikes failed.
President Saddam Hussain and his team are
apparently not only alive but
mobilizing Iraqis to fight back. The failed
"short cut" enhanced the image of
Saddam Hussain as almost a
"living martyr".
Bush
and Blair are today seen in
the Muslim world as bungling assassins.
The American armada advanced into Iraq to
Nasiriya and then was bogged
down by two days of unprecedented sandstorms. The
Muslim world sees these
storms as signs from Allah, not unlike the storm
which swept the tents of the
"Ahzab" who had surrounded Prophet Muhammad's
(pbuh) tiny community in the
city of
Makka.
To add insult to injury, the Iraqis
changed their military
tactics. They allowed the U.S. tank columns to
pass northwards and struck at
their supply lines. At key places, the Iraqis dug
in and fought back
tenaciously. "Great" Britain's most famous
military force, the Desert Rats,
was beaten back from Basrah. American and British
POWs started appearing on
Iraqi TV ("how dare they!").
FIGHTING WITHOUT AIR COVER:
The situation cannot be understood without
understanding the basic
military difference between the two sides.
U.S.-British forces are supported
every step of the way by air strikes and
helicopter gun ships. The Iraqis
fight without any air cover at all. In that
context, the Iraqis stand out as
unusually hardy fighters.
The Iraqis seem to have become overconfident
enough to have sent out an
armored column from Basra heading south towards
occupation forces (which
could be a serious mistake). (March 27)
SIGNS of DEFEAT for BUSH and BLAIR:
An important sign of defeat was that on DAY
SIX, the U.S. tried to
knock out Iraqi TV. Total control of world TV
provided by Zionist media was
not enough. The information coming out of Iraqi
TV and being picked up by
Al-Jazeerah
was unbearable for the U.S. and the
Brits.
Another sign of defeat was the new whining
on
CNN,
MSNBC
and
Fox
that
the Iraqis were not fighting according to the
rules, that they were moving
around in pickup tricks, using paramilitaries and
just being "bad" instead of
waiting in fixed positions to be killed.
Worldwide condemnation of the war and the
increasing death toll caused
by the U.S. air force among Iraqi civilians has
put U.S.
media
on the
defensive. Hence the steady flow of propaganda
footage on CNN etc to indicate
that U.S. troops are feeding starving Iraqis in
Safwan.
Militarily Bush-Blair might still win.
Tiny Iraq cannot match
America's military might. However, the real
battle, for the minds and souls
of the Muslim world has already been won by
Saddam Hussain. He did not allow
the Muslim world to be humiliated or to let Iraq
go down without fighting.
As time passes, the Muslim ummah becomes
stronger.

SIGNS OF OUR TIMES: Prophet Muhammad's (pbuh)
Hadith
Defines AMERICA TODAY as
well as many Muslims:
Reported in Tirmidhi:
Ali ibn Abi Talib said, " The Prophet said: "If
my
Ummah bears fifteen traits, tribulation will
befall
it." Someone asked, "What are they, O Messenger
of
Allah?" He said: "When any gain is shared out
only
among the rich, with no benefit to the poor; when
a
trust becomes a means of making a profit; when
paying
Zakat becomes a burden; when a man obeys his wife
and
disobeys his mother; and treats his friends
kindly
whilst shunning his father, when voices are
raised in
the mosques; when the leader of a people is the
worst
of them; when people treat a man with respect
because
they fear some evil he may do; when much wine is
drunk; when men wear silk, when female singers
and
musical instruments become popular; when the last
ones
of this Ummah curse the first ones - then let
them
expect a red wind, or the earth to swallow them
up, or
to be transformed into animals"
(Note: the transformation into animals would
refer to
such an extreme lack of morality that people
would be
committing excesses in public as sexual acts
without
any shame or fear of punishment).
Everyone of the above mentioned behaviors are
common
in American society and has spread to the Muslim
Ummah.
Allah (swt) has already given a tremendous sign
to the American public when the Challenger
crashed in
Palestine, Texas with an
Israeli
pilot who bombed
Iraq's nuclear reactor, a Hindu from
India
and
Americans on board. These three nations are among
the
chief persecutors of the Muslim Ummah today. It
is not
a coincidence that the crowning achievement of
American technology should be turned to ashes in
a
town which bears the name of the
Palestinian
nation
that has been victimized by the military arm of
this
technology.
Now Allah (swt) has sent a tremendous red
wind which is blowing not only sand but stones
against
the American military invaders in Iraq. The next
tribulation should be a devastating earthquake.
Allah
(swt) punishes all those who disobey his laws.
The
signs we are witnessing are even more powerful
than
the flocks of stone throwing birds sent by Allah
(swt)
to destroy the elephant led invasion of Mecca by
Abraha mentioned in Surat al Fil. We, the
Muslims,
must bow humbly and glorify Allah (swt) in prayer
when
he chooses us as witnesses to these signs. May
Allah
save the Ummah from the Kufar and the sins of the
Kufar.
Your Brother in Islam
