Zarqawi
"Removing Zarqawi is a major blow to al Qaeda. It's not going to end the war, it's certainly not going to end the violence, but it's going to help a lot" ~ President Bush, REUTERS, "Bush says Zarqawi death won't end war but will help", 09 June 2006
During Saddam Hussein's time in Iraq, there was an EXTREMELY limited presence of al Qaeda in Iraq IF there was any to begin with. Hussein's secular Baathist regime did not exactly see eye-to-eye with the more extremist elements that make up al Qaeda. Pre-US invasion, there was little if any presence of al Qaeda forces in Iraq. Post-Saddam Hussein and post-US invasion, al Qaeda elements have successfully carved a very firm foothold for themselves in Iraq. Now, Bush talks about Zarqawi's death as being a "major blow to al Qaeda". Who is he fooling? If he hadn't ordered the invasion in the first place, there would have been no al Qaeda in Iraq to begin with. So far, all the US has managed to 'accomplish' has been to fight demons that the US itself created in the first place. And then they pat themselves on the back for doing that! Good God... Orwellian times.
How stupid can a president get. How stupid must a populace be? For heaven's sake, do the majority of Americans not comprehend where their president is leading them to?

Hey Zak,
Neocons using this as "proof" of an Iraq-al Qaeda link ? There may be a link NOW thanks to the US invasion. There was no link before. Good grief, how stupid can some people get. If their president tells them the moon is made out of cheese, i suppose they are likely to believe that as well!? Does being "at war" mean that people don't use their minds to think...
Re the tag - hehe thanks :D i hope i did alright?
