2. zarqawi started attacking jordan in '92

His latest is nothing new, or because of our current involvement in Iraq.

He spent 7 years in prison in Jordan for the '92 attempt at overthrowing the monarchy, and bombed the Raddison Hotel there in '99 for which they later sentenced him to death.

3. So whose been hit so far?

You know, the "over there" folks:
England
Spain
KSA
Bali
Jordan

And these are the ones just off the top of my head.

I can't believe the world isn't furiously bringing this particular comment up to Bush every time they meet him or his representatives. I would be outraged if I was the rest of the world - all of the "over theres".
