It's a rather invigorating speech, encouraging peace and justifying its own violence. Through this, it seems fair to think that the fighting will not stop unless there is a change from the American side of things.

Well, the Islamic culture does have an appreciation of clever rhetoric and public speaking.
No wonder Bush has so little credibility over there.

Freedom fighters? So its a message from US soldiers, then? Or perhaps some other members of the coalition? Or members of the Iraqi army?
For those are the only ones fighting for freedom over there. The terrorists don't want freedom; they want oppression, fear, and a friendly dictatorship. And they will use whatever brutal tactics they can to try and bring this about.

So you watched it, Rabbit?

I watched about the first 3 minutes, then had to stop for fear of vomiting.

Rabbit's missing the point and mucking up the issue, as is apparently the norm for pro-American right-wingers on the topic. Whatever the foreign militants in Iraq are fighting for, odds are the future of the Iraqi people isn't a terribly central theme. For the native militants, by far the majority, the future of Iraq and its people is quite literally a question of life and death. Whether this makes them "freedom fighters" or just "insurrectionists", "resistance movement", "rebels" or whatever, is rhetoric and semantics.
I understand there's increasing friction between the two groups due to the aforementioned difference in focus, incidentally.
Personally, I prefer "insurrectionists" as the blanket term for the militants. It does an acceptable job at encompassing all the major participants without the crude and blatantly tendentious undertones of "freedom fighters" and "terrorists", and would probably fill the criteria of a scientific definition too.
