Zarqawi - Our Beast Of Convenience From Scratch

Zarqawi met bin Ladin in 2000 in Kandahar. Zarqawi told Biny Boy that he refused to join Al-Qaida because Zarqy viewed certain Arab regimes, as opposed to the US, as his only enemy of violent concern.

After this meeting, Zarqy went on instead to carve out a little niche of his own among the Taliban and ran a tiny camp in Harat where he trained future suicide bombers to be active against the Jordanian regime that he so loathed.

After the fall of the Taliban regime, Zarqy escaped to Iraqi Kurdistan where he had a few contacts to hole up with. The Kurdish secret service falsely alerted the US that an Al Qaida representative had arrived in Iraq. This was a flat out lie (and the tricky dicky Kurds knew it) as Zarqy was not a member of Al-Qaida but the Bush team chose to publicly embrace the news as bona fide (though they also knew it to be false) as their WMD scam was falling apart all around them and they needed a new excuse in a hurry.

The new tactic for pretexting the invasion of Iraq was to link Saddam with Al-Qaida. Zarqawi became the Bush administration's fictious link.

The Bush administration's pretended and noisy claim that what in fact was a very insignificant leader of a petit group of jihadists hiding out in Northern Iraq was a major league Al-Qaida hotshot made not only gullibles in the West believe this but also zealots in the muslim world. Consequently, manpower and money started to flow into Iraq to seek out the great Al-Qaida leader Zarqawi and this deadly influx of bring 'em on resources turned ragtag Zarqy into something he never was and could never have hoped to become without a desperate administration's mendacious claims.

The incredible fictions weaved by the Bush administration to get their illegal invasion to fly led to yet further lies to hide their unravelling pretexts and these very lies provided Zarqawi with all the advertising he could ever have hoped for. Thanks Condy, Dick, and Rummy.

The Bush administration's do-or-die treachery successfully transformed a bit player, pissed off at the Jordanian regime, into the completely bogus #2 member of Al-Qaida in the world! That was the beginning of the Zarqawi myth and it is a myth created by Bush & Cohorts and is solely responsible for kick-starting all the death and destruction that followed in the wake of Zarqawi.

Everyone ever involved in a product launch knows that the accompanying PR campaign is a make or break event. Zarqawi got the best advertizing campaign in the world thanks to our crooked boys and girls in high office. You got dead and disfigured sons and daughters. Ra Ra Ra!
