Terror leaders reject Nancy Pelosi's comments on Iraqi insurgency
Many
Democratic politicians and some from the Republican Party have stated a
withdrawal from Iraq would end the insurgency there.
In
a recent interview with CBS's "60 Minutes," House Minority Leader Nancy
Pelosi, stated, "The jihadists (are) in Iraq. But that doesn't mean we
stay there. They'll stay there as long as we're there."
Pelosi would become House speaker if the Democrats win the majority of seats in next week's elections.
WND
read Pelosi's remarks to the terror leaders, who unanimously rejected
her contention an American withdrawal would end the insurgency.
Islamic Jihad's Saadi, laughing, stated, "There is no chance that the resistance will stop."
He
said an American withdrawal from Iraq would "prove the resistance is
the most important tool and that this tool works. The victory of the
Iraqi revolution will mark an important step in the history of the
region and in the attitude regarding the United States."
Jihad Jaara said an American withdrawal would "mark the beginning of the collapse of this tyrant empire (America)."
"Therefore, a victory in Iraq would be a greater defeat for America than in Vietnam."
Jaara
said vacating Iraq would also "reinforce Palestinian resistance
organizations, especially from the moral point of view. But we also
learn from these (insurgency) movements militarily. We look and learn
from them."
Hamas'
Abu Abdullah argued a withdrawal from Iraq would "convince those among
the Palestinians who still have doubts in the efficiency of the
resistance."
"The
victory of the resistance in Iraq would prove once more that when the
will and the faith are applied victory is not only a slogan. We saw
that in Lebanon (during Israel's confrontation against Hezbollah there
in July and August); we saw it in Gaza (after Israel withdrew from the
territory last summer) and we will see it everywhere there is
occupation," Abdullah said.
While
the terror leaders each independently urged American citizens to vote
for Democratic candidates, not all believed the Democrats would
actually carry out a withdrawal from Iraq.
Saadi
stated, "Unfortunately I think those who are speaking about a
withdrawal will not do so when they are in power and these promises
will remain electoral slogans. It is not enough to withdraw from Iraq.
They must withdraw from Afghanistan and from every Arab and Muslim land
they occupy or have bases."
He called both Democrats and Republicans "agents of the Zionist lobby in the U.S."
Abu
Abdullah commented once Democrats are in power "the question is whether
such a courageous leadership can [withdraw]. I am afraid that even
after the American people will elect those who promise to leave Iraq,
the U.S. will not do so. I tell the American people vote for
withdrawal. Abandon Israel if you want to save America. Now will this
Happen? I do not believe it."
Still Jihad Jaara said the alternative is better than Bush's party.
