But Zarqawi's rise to the top didn't have to happen, according to a report aired by NBC news in early March. During a seven month period leading up to the invasion of Iraq, the US had at least three very good chances to kill Zarqawi while he was at a terrorist camp in northern Iraq. Although the Pentagon favored the attacks, the White House decided against going after Zarqawi for fear it would undercut its case for the war. Zarqawi's presence in Iraq was the only evidence of any kind that the Bush administration had to prove its claim that Al Qaeda and Iraq were working together.

It is interesting that this place with no terrorist influence, we suddenly found out, was housing the leader of the new Al Qaeda.
