While al-Zarqawi is definitely anti-American, some analysts dispute that
he is al Qaeda.

Your referenced website seems to refute your claim that al Zaqawi isn't
linked to al Qaeda. Do you have any others that say he isn't al Qaeda?

Uhh, I never claimed any such thing. I posted a link that said, amongst
other things, "...Zarqawi's historical rivalry with Bin Laden." No doubt,
Zarqawi's and bin Ladens anti-American aganda is similar and dangerous,
but the jury is still out on whether he *is* al Qaeda.


Iraq was violating the no-fly zones. Nevertheless, you don't need to fly
airplanes over northeastern Iraq in order to maintain contact with the
psycho operating up there.

True, but Zarqawi's linkage to the CIA is a lot clearer that to Saddam.

"The intelligence coöperation on Al Qaeda was important and effective," said
Martin Indyk, who served as Ambassador to Israel in the Clinton
Administration and is now director of the Saban Center. "But the Syrians
thought it would compensate for all their other games with Iraq and the
Palestinian terror organizations, and it doesn't."

America refused to negotiate, Mr. Berg is now dead.

America could negotiate, Say yes we will make the trade.
Meet with the terrorists to make the trade, and kill every one of them.

We would have gotten Mr. Berg back.

At which time the administration would be ripped for negotiating with
terrorists, telling lies, and murder. And we would still not have saved Berg,
who would most likely not have been alive anyway. You seem to think we're
dealing with honorable people.

You right winged jack ass, September 11, 2001 was done by al-Qaida... What
does that have to do with an unjust war in Iraq?

Not a freaking thing.

Anyone who thinks there has not been connection and coordination between
Iraq and al Qaida is a naive fool.
