Let's see............... al-Qaeda is one of how many terrorist factions in Iraq? Furthermore how much of al-Qaeda is left in Iraq after Abu Musab's death? So how much does this matter?

I'm assumings it's disinformation.

I am glad that so many people have been echoing my sentiments.

No, not really. The CIA cultiavted him when he was in exile in Cairo after the failed assassation attempt on Iraq's then leader. After the 1963 coup, the CIA gave Mr. Hussein a list of known or suspected communists, most of whom were killed. This Managed top put Hussein up very high in the Ba'athist Party, and by the time of the 1968 coup, he was 2nd in command. Our people set him on his path.

I don't know if anyone has pointed this out or not... maybe it's insignificant... probably...

Zarqawi was killed on June 8th, correct? It was June 8th in Iraq when this happened, wasn't it?... IIRC, June 8th is the day the Prophet died.

I'm sure someone will spin it in a positive manner for them.

After all, they are all martyrs.

Food for thought... little things like this are important to teh fundies. But I don't know (and actually I tend to seriously doubt) if it will really mean anything in the grand scheme of things.

But I find it an interesting coincidence. I wonder if the "inside tip" had anything to do with that anniversery or not.

One of many.

But it's the only one who has attacked the U.S. on U.S. soil. It's the only one -- so far as I know -- that has vowed to destroy America, and who has okayed the killing of every American and Jewish man, woman and child.

Furthermore how much of al-Qaeda is left in Iraq after Abu Musab's death?

Too much. IIRC, there's a intelligence report that 300 al-Qaeda recruits were recently brought to Iraq, trained and sent back to their home countries to start problems there.

So how much does this matter?

A lot. Zarqauwi revived al-Qaeda when it was on the ropes after the Taliban's loss of Afghanistan. He took violence to a new level--beginning the campaign of beheadings. He has been somewhat successful in formenting civil war between the ****tites and Sunnis. Now that he's dead, the chances are improved of shoving that horrific genie back into the bottle.

There is no proof, and hardly any indication that Iraq was involved in 9/11.

If anything, al Qaeda moved to Iraq because the US went there, not the other way around.


The death of Saddam's sons didn't change a thing.
Saddam's capture didn't change a thing.
The conquest of Falluja didn't change a thing.

Zarqawi, dead or alive, won't change a thing.

You misunderstand my possition. AI wasn't saying that Iraq was involved in 9/11. I was saying that, after the fall of the Taliban in Afghanistan, al-Zarqawi was instrumental in re-lcate the majority of its operations to Iraq.

The death of Saddam's sons didn't change a thing.
Saddam's capture didn't change a thing.
The conquest of Falluja didn't change a thing.

Right. This whole Iraqi invasion has been a Grand Diversion away from the war on those who attacked us on 9/11 -- al Qaeda. We have to refocus on the real war on them, not on this side show.

Zarqawi was a cunning general on their side. His death won't end this, but I'm not about to concede that his death will make no difference.

[Zkribbler]

BTW: The U.S. government has announced it will be paying the $25 million bounty to those who aided in bringing down Zarqawi.

Uh...it was me That's right. I turned him in! No, really. I really really did.
