PEP TALK GIVEN

Al Qaeda in Iraq's new leader Abu Hamza al-Muhajir tries to motivate his extra-brave asymmetrical warriors by threatening coalition forces:

"The fire has not and will not be put out and our swords, which have been colored with your blood are thirsty for more of your rotting heads."

Talk about detached from reality: the Brotherhood of the Bloody Sword is really the Brotherhood of the Bomb Detonated from the Shadows. There was also a warning for non-Sunnis:

Muhajir, also believed to use the name Abu Ayyub al-Masri, told Shi'ite Muslims to 'repent' or face the swords of the mujahideen holy fighters.

It's war seventh century style.
