AL-ZARQAWI 'BETRAYED'
Terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was betrayed from inside the al Qaeda in Iraq group he led in the insurgency fight against coalition troops, the U.S. military says. "Tips and intelligence from Iraqi senior leaders from his network led forces to al-Zarqawi," U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Bill Caldwell said.

Special Forces developed information that the spiritual adviser, Sheik Abd-al-Rahman, would be attending the Wednesday meeting and likely would be with al-Zarqawi, military sources told CNN. Troops were on the ground nearby watching for al-Zarqawi.

Al-Rahman "was brought to our attention by somebody from within the network of Zarqawi's," U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Bill Caldwell said.

1. If it's true that Al-Qaeda fired and betrayed Zarqawi
Why was his death being reported as a "blow" to Al-Qaeda today?

2. Not actual headline
Edited on Thu Jun-08-06 10:56 PM by LiviaOlivia
article headline reads:
"Al-Zarqawi dead, but fight continues"

read LBN rules.

4. Holy Shit! This bogus story has taken about all the permutations
Edited on Thu Jun-08-06 11:01 PM by ShortnFiery
most sane people can handle.

Like many other SOUND arguments have put forth, THE REAL al Zarqawi was wasted three years ago.

I can't believe how many will buy into the corporate media's NATIONALISTIC FERVOR ... it's putrid.

Yes, I love my Country! However, such testosterone laden FUs to this individual, only serves to feed into an pre-existing "USA (Bloated Christian Caucasians) vs. THEM (Brown Islamic People)" Prejudices.

Pride goes before a fall ... O'Reily is due to tank exponentially at any moment. :P
