Abu Musab al-Zarqawi

A series of articles on the rise of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and who he is.

One particular line that caught my attention is his own words to Osama:

"If the Jihad fails in Iraq, the Caliphate [One Islamic World] will never be established. Then the Nation will be strangled, our people degraded, and sanctions will be imposed for all time."

Before Iraq it was like killing only the roaches you saw when your turned the lights on, now you are getting into the woodwork where they come from...so obviously there are going to be more roaches

Funny how he isn't being lowerred into a plastic grinder for saying that. The worst he can hope for is to be stuck in a jail cell with a joint of ham and to be talked to by female interrogators.

Sounds like a terrorist's name.

Anyone who has something to say but uses a name like that; I will not listen to

I like this guy, he's actually knowledgable. This IS the last stand, a loss in Iraq will probably deal a devastating blow to morale, especially since the US and UK are the only ones left there. To the Arabs this is an attempt by anglo powers to re-occupy Babylon, they see it as a repeat of the English occupation.
