Starring in funny videos (playing with guns, while hopping around, dressed in New Balance sneakers) can be bad for your health:
Italy's military intelligence services SISMI first discovered the video on the internet on 25 April and analysed it along with their US and Arab counterparts. The video - in which Jordanian-born Zarqawi appears as he fires a kalashnikov rifle in a desert area along with some aides - enabled intelligence services to identify the area where he was hiding.

And, by the way, contrary to the lefty spin that Zarqawi was just a bit player, no big deal we took him out, won't make a difference, we better surender and get out of Iraq, yada, yada, yada -- here a little piece of data from a few weeks ago:
More than 90 percent of the suicide attacks in Iraq are carried out by fighters recruited, trained and equipped by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq, a U.S. military spokesman said Monday.
Zarqawi and al-Qaeda in Iraq "are real threats to the citizens, security and stability of Iraq. And we continue to conduct aggressive operations to eliminate the threat they pose not only to Iraq, but also to the rest of the region," Maj. Gen. Rick Lynch said in a statement.
Right on. And, disregard the nattering nabobs of negativism -- full speed ahead!
what percentage of killings of civilians come from AQ suicide attacks ? If you recall, a few months back, the administration argued that sectrarian violence (aka civil war) was now a larger threat than that of the fundamentalist wackos.
>>Zarqawi and al-Qaeda in Iraq "are real threats to the citizens, security and stability of Iraq. And we continue to conduct aggressive operations to eliminate the threat they pose not only to Iraq, but also to the rest of the region," Maj. Gen. Rick Lynch said in a statement.
no one is denying that. just the impact it will have is being overhyped. Aren't you tired of the "turning a new corner" when we are still going downhill hype ?
Some interesting details on how we got the goods on Zarky.
As for the other threats to Iraq (and to our forces there) -- well, one thing at a time. I have confidence in our boys -- I think they have a much better idea of what they are doing than the Liberals give them credit for,
from their confy couches.
The follow-up continues. Doesn't look like going downhill to me, unless you start from the premise that whatever the US is doing is bad, which is the typical Left Wing conceit, going back to at least 1945-46, when most of them started siding with the Soviets in the Cold War. Quelques choses ne changent jamais.
ai - your couch isn't comfy ?
