Buh-Bye Zarqawi
So the Zarqman is dead – as predicted by this StrategyPage article (I just subscribed to them and I must say that this publication is worth every penny).
Some comments:
1. BBC on NPR called this a “propaganda victory” for the Bush Administration.
2. It will be interesting to see who celebrates his death and who doesn’t.
So far the Bush admin, Blair, Iraqi PM, Shi’a and al-Qaeda are all happy that he’s dead. NPR and the BBC appear more subdued so far.
3. Nick Berg’s father has said that he is saddened by his son’s executioner’s death, saying that it just increases al-Qaeda’s anti-American sentiment. He’s a pacifist running on the Green Party ticket for Congress in Delaware.
Administrator:
Wrong.
15 August 2006, 7:49 pmRead the Strategy Page article that had Zarqawi drawing too much attention to the Sunni attacks on the Shiites. They predicted his death 2 days before it happened.
Cutting Edge Political Commentary The Razor:
[...] Not bad for a bunch of “bloggers” that predicted al-Zarqawi’s trip to “paradise” in June. [...]
