RDW,

re: "Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the 38-year-old Palestinian blamed for hundreds of deaths in terrorist attacks in Iraq, appears to have adopted the remnants of the sleeper cell network in Europe that helped spawn the Sept. 11 hijackers and now serves as the primary organizer of a diffuse, but growing collection of Al Qaeda veterans and new recruits on at least three continents, according to a recent US spy agency report, interviews with intelligence officials, and terrorism specialists."

He was nothing before our attack of Iraq. The evidence is in your (non-referenced) post "appears to have adopted the remnants of the sleeper cell network in Europe that helped spawn the Sept. 11 hijackers and now serves as the primary organizer of a diffuse".

Of course you know that we could have taken him out before we invaded Iraq (in Kurd territory), but Bush chose to leave him alone. Wanted to take out SH before al Qaeda. Another example of shooting in the wrong direction. He's there because we made the decision that we had other priorities.
