(peep) what happened to Zarqawi?
Edited on Tue Aug-23-05 09:47 AM by underpants
sorry hate to bring this up but I haven't heard much about him recently. Anyone know what happened to the most recent public enemy #1 (not Sadr anymore)?

Anyone? Anything?

1. We are just unable to get the gimpy terrorist
like Zarqawi and OBL... Both of them in bad shape, one missing a leg, the other needs dialysis on a regular basis. How are these gimpy dudes beating us?

2. Like Bin Laden, I suppose Zarqawi is no longer important to Bush

8. I'm sure there'll be a few more
And each one thought he was the only one. Sad.

(Insert emoticon of a wry smile here.)

6. Last I heard
of him was in July I think, on a tape making threats. First time I'd seen him, assuming it actually WAS him, and he seemed rather old to be leaping out of moving trucks, and running across roads to get away...especially with what was reported to be a gaping chest wound at the time. :shrug:

7. Update: "Syrian militants linked to...Abu Musab al-Zarqawi were behind..."
Edited on Tue Aug-23-05 10:17 AM by Eugene
"Al Qaeda in Iraq" just claimed responsibility for the Jordan
missile attack. Beyond that, he has been awfully quiet.

On edit:

Jordan says Syrian militants behind rocket attack

By Suleiman al-Khalidi | August 23, 2005

AMMAN (Reuters) - Syrian militants linked to al Qaeda's leader in
Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, were behind last week's rocket attack on
U.S. warships in the Red Sea port of Aqaba, Jordanian security
officials said on Tuesday.

Zarqawi's Sunni Muslim group claimed responsibility for Friday's
attack, in which the rockets missed their targets, but hit a warehouse
and a hospital, killing a Jordanian soldier, and struck the Israeli
port of Eilat.

An Internet statement said those who had carried out the strikes had
"withdrawn ... and returned safely to their base."

11. Due to W's visionary leadership..... they missed
something like that. Notice no "on his watch" comments coming from the press about the missile attack, they seem to have forgotten it already.

9. His hard drive crashed and they were unable to reboot him?
The insurgency is doing such a great job that they don't need a fake terrorist anymore.

10. there was a thread here yesterday
concerning upcoming Europe attack, but it's now been deleted.

i had the thread open for quite awhile (with no comments yet) and when i refreshed it later, it was gone. Don't know if it was the source, or following replies that got it.

:shrug:

12. He's been written out of the script for the current propaganda campaign.
Way too overexposed.
