Whatever happened to Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi?

He just vanished off the radar, hasn't he? Who's willing to bet he will be captured or killed after Bush gets the nomination?

weird thing is he didn't connect him with al qaeda. he said "Al-Zarqawi and his organization"

....to pick a scary name out of a hat, put a photo with it of a scary looking cleric or 'insurgent', say he's attacked us or our soldiers, then say you've captured him, then have an actor play him and pretend to be in prison with plenty of footage on t.v., and then say you've put him behind bars forever and look heroic and decisive, when in fact, it was all a cheap hoax.

or even a beheading or two. or a grainy video of osama that's instantly 'verified as real', by the c.i.a. we can trust them huh?

3. He is dead

Wait he is alive again. Oh, he has lost both legs and an ear. Now he has regrown the legs. He is dead again. Now he is having afternoon tea with Saddam and Osama. Now he is dead again. Now he is solely responsible for the "limited" flighting happening around the country. Now he is dead again. Now Kerry is up in the polls; he is planning a massive attack somewhere, sometime using something - Terror level RED!!!! Now he is dead again. Now he is in France. He has lost an arm. He is playing bass in a ska band outside of Detroit. He has lost his chest. He is planning on voting for Kerry. He is dead again.

My Thoughts Exactly.

He is dead. He is only alive when we need him to be. I have heard it raised that "he" doesn't really exist. He is just a composite of a number of "bad guys."

5. basically, the Resistance gagged him

it was handled quietly from within by some of those they had rubbed the wrong way, so there was not much a blip of it in the media (nor would there be even if it wasn't a quiet matter--I mean, a good scapegoatariffic bogeyman is a terrible thing to lose)
