recently posted a communication from Al Zarqawi on this thread. He's one of the bigger fish that got away but he doesn't sound very happy these days.

How could he possible be happy?

He's on the run.

He lost 2,500 dead or captured insurgents of approximately 3,000 to a total of about 50 US soldiers killed.

He's now killing Sunni clerics, a sure sign of desperation.

Al Sistani, the single most influential religious leader in Iraq, is taking the position that elections are a good thing.

Zarqawi's cohort, the Energizer Bunny Al Sadr, is nowhere to be heard; his Mahdi Army only an illusion now.

As far as Zarqawi using Fallujah as a "recruiting tool," well, I haven't heard anything funnier in a long, long time.
