Iraq al-Qaeda 'offers US safe exit' if they leave their heavy weapons behind

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

The leader of an al-Qaeda-backed group has offered US forces safe withdrawal from Iraq within a month if they left their heavy weapons behind, according to an audio tape posted on the internet on Friday.

[...]

"We call on [President George] Bush not to waste this historic opportunity," said the speaker, identified as Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, head of the so-called Islamic state in Iraq, which was announced in October by al-Qaeda and groups linked to it.

[...]

"We order you to withdrew your troops immediately, using troop carriers and aircraft, and taking only your personal weapons. Don't withdraw any heavy weapons. Instead you should hand that and your military bases over to the holy warriors of the Islamic State," he said on the tape.

The liberal POV that I've got is....

This is pretty hilarious.

AND it is SO nice of them to think of our soldiers and all the heavy things they would have had to carry! They're just being thoughtful.

I have a counter-offer for them, "stop fighting and we will let you live".
