Sinbad,
Since you seem to know a lot about Zarquai, and it is clear that he is and has been a threat to the US for some time. My quesion to you is why did Bush refuse to authorize 3 !!! pentagon attacks of him in his camp in N. Iraq prior to the war?
If you are going to bring up the danger this madman poses we should certainly consider the failed oppotunities to neutralize the threat. It looks like Bush fucked up on this one pretty bad. What is your take on it?
