This is the War on Terror

Never one to be outdone, reports indicate al-Qaida has beheaded an American contractor in Iraq. The Guardian reports it being done "to avenge the abuse of Iraqi prisoners by American soldiers."

"The Web site on which the video was posted is known as a clearing house for al-Qaida and Islamic extremist groups' statements and tapes. An audiotape purportedly from bin Laden - which the CIA said was probably authentic - appeared on the same Web site last week."

OK, enough of this nonsense by those who don't believe we are actually fighting the War on Terror. This is it, folks. The killing was done by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi -- one of Osama's top lieutenants. We came to the right place to make this fight; whether we stick it out will be determined November 2, 2004.
