AND HOW BADLY so some want Abu Musab al-Zarqawi to be dead for the last time? A lot. The winner is Iraq the Model which posts Zarqawi probably killed! And then follows that headline with:According to these two sources , Iraqi and US military forces in Mosul think that Zarqawi, al-Qaeda leader in Iraq was possibly killed in a raid on a house where members of al-Qaeda were holding a meeting.
ZARQAWI MAY BE dead now, but if he isn’t, he surely will be “dead” again soon. Why he “dies” so many times says something about our search for Osama Bin Laden, who isn’t “dead” at all.
RECOMMENDED ADDITIONAL READING
THE MYTH OF ZARQAWI [Loretta Napoleoni] . . . The Americans also had much to gain from the creation of his myth. From Sept. 11, 2001, to March 20, 2003, the United States built its case for attacking Iraq. Saddam's regime was accused of possessing weapons of mass destruction and supporting terrorism. Without any proof of the existence of the former, Saddam's support for terrorism was the only trump card the U.S. administration held to convince the world that the Iraqi dictator had to be removed. To play it, the administration had to demonstrate that Saddam and al-Qaeda were connected. Their link was Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.THE HERETIK NOTES no one denies men do evil in this world, some far more than most. How The Evil is perceived and how it comes about, what evil is connected to and where it leads is a study in nightmare as well as wish fulfillment. What we seek, we so often find. What we see in ourselves is more obscured.
UPDATE
FROM THE WE SEE WHAT we want to see department. Or is it the you are either with us or against us department? “The Left” is glad Zarqawi might be alive meme rises here and here. The winner or loser on this one. Generation Why: I bet Democrats are already caucusing on who will get to speak at the funeral of this poor freedom fighter killed by an illegal and unjust war.PLUS: Some deja vu all over again.

Well, he's sorta dead...kinda dead...somewhat dead...maybe. Mostly dead at any rate, possibly.
