"Hello?..this is Zarqawi. I claim responsibility for the bombings O.K."?

[mopaul]

really, couldn't literally anyone call into some place and claim responsibility for a suicide bombing? only the bomber knows for sure. and how is a voice on the phone supposed to be proof? anyone could claim they'd done it, and anyone could call in and blame anyone else. why do we always robotically accept the official white house and media line, which is almost always, "al qaeda claims responsibility"?

and who pray tell is the authoritative entity to call in to claim responsibility for terror attacks? will any telephone anywhere do, or does it have to be the local media or what? how do these things work?

for every bushconazi action, we should be looking for the reason behind it. and every time they speak, they lie, so when they say al qaeda did it, how do we really know they did? i'm just sayin'.

1. i agree wholeheartedly.

scepticism was my first thought when every news org started spouting alqaida and zarqawi.
i dont know who did it, i dont believe they know who did it and I am just as inclined to believe the cia did it as I am alqaida at this point.
then when the news has pro government rallies my first thought is that they are being staged.
I dont believe anything until I get a serious dose of facts I feel I can trust.

2. You make a valid point.

I mean...this guy has got to be the busiest man on the planet to create this much terror and unrest. He is to blame for the "insurgency" in Iraq, terrorist attacks all over the world...

Haven't we been chasing this man for years? I'm surprised that this group of maniacal madmen (Shrubco) haven't tried to put the blame of the Fallujah massacre on his shoulders, as well.

"Fool me once, shame on you..."

Peace.

3. It would be the perfect terrorist scam:

Just sit back in your living room and wait for bombing to happen. Then, get on your website pronto and say you did it. Bingo! Terror without lifting a finger.

Wouldn't it take, oh, I don't know, an actual *investigation* of these events before you could assign blame?

Letting terrorist groups just take responsibility for these things is either really, really dumb, or calculated.

It doesn't add up.

4. Let's not forget that we are sending "our people" to investigate...

5. I think Zarqawi says 'mmkay' instead of O.K.

He's been watching too much South Park again.

As far as the Jordanian bombings, I am looking at
the CIA and our old mortal foe Mossad.

We know the Israelis were cleared out BEFORE the attack.
No stretch at all to conclude Mossad told 'em,
and Mossad knew because Mossad did it.

The US and Sharon had the most to gain.

6. Um...

We know the Israelis were cleared out BEFORE the attack.

How do we know this? If true, it would be very damning.

[fooj]

7. Wiped the Fallujah story right off the map, didn't it?

Peace.

[tatertop]

8. You bet. Forgotten. Now let's get that Zarqawi! Only he is evil!

He is living in and being harbored by Syria and Iran.
I'm sure we all know what that means by now.

[cigsandcoffee]

9. I'd still like to know where you heard...

...that the Israelis were pre-warned of this attack. I can't find anything to support it.

10. Zarqawi gave me ring around the collar

Maybe it was ring around the qawi, I don't know.
