It seems you are talking about the "Zarqawi" who I think I heard Shep Smith say was was reportedly shot and killed (ahem, again) yesterday.

He doesn't exist? Does the moon shine? Re: "On October 21, 2004, Zarqawi officially announced his allegiance to Al Qaida; on December 27, 2004, Al-Jazeera broadcast an audiotape of bin Laden calling Zarqawi "the prince of al Qaeda in Iraq" and asked "all our organization brethren to listen to him and obey him in his good deeds."[2]"

I hear he may have been fitted with an artificial leg. Who knows, eh?

Or was it Zawahiri? Gee, here's an interesting tidbit from his new book, which actually might more closely represent the truth than some of the allegations I've heard on thist thread: " Al-Zawahiri says: "This lie is self-contradictory. If the Arab Afghans are a US creation, why did the United States seek to expel them over a period of two years?"

He adds: "The truth that everyone should learn is that the United States did not give one penny in aid to the mujahidin."

He quotes the declaration of his primary ally Bin Ladin: "The financial aid to the Afghans from popular Arab sources amounted to $200 million in 10 years."

Al-Zawahiri explains: "If the Arab Afghans are the mercenaries of the United States who have now rebelled against it, why is the United States unable to buy them back now? Would not buying them be more economical and less costly than the security and prevention budget that it is paying to defend itself now?"
