Communiqué Number 6

The media platoon of the Islamic Jihad Army. On the 27th of Shawal  1425h.

10 December 2004

People of the world! These words come to you from those who up to the day of

the invasion were struggling to survive under the sanctions imposed by the

criminal regimes of the U.S. and Britain .

We are simple people who chose principles over fear.

We have suffered crimes and sanctions, which we consider the true weapons of

mass destruction.

Years and years of agony and despair, while the condemned UN traded with our

oil revenues in the name of world stability and peace.

Over two million innocents died waiting for a light at the end of a tunnel

that only ended with the occupation of our country and the theft of our

resources.

After the crimes of the administrations of the U.S and Britain in Iraq , we

have chosen our future. The future of every resistance struggle ever in the

history of man.

It is our duty, as well as our right, to fight back the occupying forces,

which their nations will be held morally and economically responsible; for

what their elected governments have destroyed and stolen from our land.

We have not crossed the oceans and seas to occupy Britain or the U.S. nor

are we responsible for 9/11. These are only a few of the lies that these

criminals present to cover their true plans for the control of the energy

resources of the world, in face of a growing China and a strong unified

Europe . It is Ironic that the Iraqi's are to bear the full face of this

large and growing conflict on behalf of the rest of this sleeping world.

We thank all those, including those of Britain and the U.S. , who took to

the streets in protest against this war and against Globalism. We also thank

France , Germany and other states for their position, which least to say are

considered wise and balanced, til now.

Today, we call on you again.

We do not require arms or fighters, for we have plenty.

We ask you to form a world wide front against war and sanctions. A front

that is governed by the wise and knowing. A front that will bring reform and

order. New institutions that would replace the now corrupt.

Stop using the U.S. dollar, use the Euro or a basket of currencies. Reduce

or halt your consumption of British and U.S. products. Put an end to Zionism

before it ends the world. Educate those in doubt of the true nature of this

conflict and do not believe their media for their casualties are far higher

than they admit.

We only wish we had more cameras to show the world their true defeat.

The enemy is on the run. They are in fear of a resistance movement they can

not see nor predict.

We, now choose when, where, and how to strike. And as our ancestors drew the

first sparks of civilization, we will redefine the word "conquest."

Today we write a new chapter in the arts of urban warfare.

Know that by helping the Iraqi people you are helping yourselves, for

tomorrow may bring the same destruction to you.

In helping the Iraqi people does not mean dealing for the Americans for a

few contracts here and there. You must continue to isolate their strategy.

This conflict is no longer considered a localized war. Nor can the world

remain hostage to the never-ending and regenerated fear that the American

people suffer from in general.

We will pin them here in Iraq to drain their resources, manpower, and their

will to fight. We will make them spend as much as they steal, if not more.

We will disrupt, then halt the flow of our stolen oil, thus, rendering their

plans useless.

And the earlier a movement is born, the earlier their fall will be.

And to the American soldiers we say, you can also choose to fight tyranny

with us. Lay down your weapons, and seek refuge in our mosques, churches and

homes. We will protect you. And we will get you out of Iraq , as we have

done with a few others before you.

Go back to your homes, families, and loved ones. This is not your war. Nor

are you fighting for a true cause in Iraq .

And to George W. Bush, we say, "You have asked us to 'Bring it on', and so

have we. Like never expected. Have you another challenge?"
