PELHAM, New Hampshire (AP) -- Republican presidential hopeful Sen. John McCain said that a new message from Osama bin Laden in which he scolds his followers in Iraq proves that U.S. efforts there are succeeding.

"Basically he encouraged the extreme elements -- al Qaeda in Iraq particularly in the Sunni areas -- to join together and be more effective in bringing terrorism and murder and suicide bombings to Iraq and to Anbar province," McCain said Monday.

"It's a clear sign that we are succeeding in Iraq because people got very tired of al Qaeda taking their young women, killing their young women, killing their people and acting in the most brutal fashion that they are."

In the audiotape played Monday on Al-Jazeera television, bin Laden chastises some of his followers for lagging behind and making mistakes in Iraq, and for putting their personal allegiances ahead of their opposition to American forces.

1. Well, I'm not sure how much he should wave around "we" are succeeding

but no, clearly things are not 100% peachy for al Qaeda's brethren in Iraq. So, the US military has been busy kicking up the Shiite hornet's nest because, well, it can.

Iraq is already passe. Iran's the real objective now.

4. Hey, McCass: people get very tired of US bombing their young women...

BAGHDAD, Oct 23 (Reuters) - The U.S. military said it killed 11 people in a helicopter attack on a group of men seen planting a roadside bomb north of Baghdad on Tuesday, but police and residents said the dead were farmers, women and children.

Idiot!
