Zarqwahi is only the latest Bush administration bogeyman. It is questionable whether the man still exists. In any event, prior to the war he was operating in areas of Iraq controlled by the U.S., not the areas controlled by Saddam. Bush will keep trotting out Arab bogeyman to keep the sheep quiet and docile.

How do you know Zarqawi even exists as the Bushies describe him? (enemy number one, Al Qaida leader in Iraq) For one thing their own intelligence contradicts themselves. They used to describe Zarqawi as a Al Qaida fighter in Afghnanistan who went to Iraq to have his leg amputated. That was supposed to be proof Saddam and Al Qaida were linked. Now they say his leg is fine. So which is it? We have one mugshot of the guy. for all we know he isn't even alive. COuld be ten guys in his place and not one of them a part of Al Qaida. The ones in charge of Fallujah I heard are a Taliban type militia but also associated with the Baathists. In short, we have no idea who the enemy really is. Just like in Vietnam. and has capturing Saddam made us safer? WHo the hell knows? Not yet it hasn't.

The Iraq fight has only just begun........7 AMericans were killed in the last 2.5 days...... If I know that the Shias ans Sunni's and Kurds hate each other then the experts certainly did. The current condition in Iraq was predictable. Bush sent people to their death with false info...........he is supposed to be better than that when he is dealing in the lives of our children...........I do not excuse him and he should have stopped when he realized Saddam was impotent. Saddam couldn't even defend himself. He was a braggart Arab male and I know many men that are similar ( the macho part without the violence). He needed to be a bully to keep people from breaking into a civil war in Iraq. Congress thought that BUsh was going to act responsible and get UN support...............he didn't.
