"A top U.S. military commander says the most disciplined, intense attacks from insurgency forces in Iraq to date are being masterminded by an Iraqi Canadian.

Abu Abdul Rahman, who reportedly left Canada in 1995 after marrying an Iraqi woman, is now one of the leaders of a disciplined insurgency unlike anything the American troops have experienced in the past, the New York Times reported yesterday.

The paper said training camps are now providing military instruction for insurgents so they can withstand lengthy fights with the U.S. forces, as opposed to the "hit-and-run" tactics employed during the past.

A battle last week in the village of Turki, east of Baghdad, lasted for 40 hours of close combat, killing at least 72 insurgents and two American officers, the Times noted.

4. Well I'll be damned. And here we've been making fun of those

Canadians all these years and one of them is secretly kicking our ass.

Now that's ironic.

5. Pretty sad if Iraq has attracted back all the horrid nepharious types while

the middle class is desperate to leave. That's just sad.

6. If I married someone from, say, New Zealand -- and New Zealand

was occupied by a foreign power bent on destroying their nation, I might take up arms too.

I am not saying that Rahman is not a nepharious-type -- maybe he lives for war and death and should burn in hell.

Then again, maybe he is an Iraqi by marriage and is defending his nation.

It is all twisted and sick and nightmarish...
