BAGHDAD (AFP) - Al-Qaeda's Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi vowed he was still fighting alongside insurgents despite suffering light wounds, while four US troops, four Italians and one Iraqi soldier died in air crashes.

Four Italian troops were killed in southern Iraq when their military helicopter crashed overnight near the city of Nasiriyah, ANSA news agency reported in Rome.

Go to the link and look at the AFP graphic about Zarqawi AFP has put out. It is as flat out a lie as I have ever seen. It looks like the media is trying to further rewrite the history books.

It is not suprising that the media is now trying to say that Zarqawi only entered Iraq after the Iraq War.

Please direct me to evidence that he wasn't.
Quoting leftist drivel isn't proof that he wasn't.

Dear Mr Zot-Kitty,

There have been multiple stories, and press releases from Iraqi Secret Services, that indeed your beloved insurgent was in Iraq as early as 1999. Last week part of the document release from Iraq proved that your buddy Sadaam and Zarqy had discussions about funding Pale terror groups, and that he has been recruiting from that same pool that Hussein had funded before.

How about YOU do YOUR research to eliminate the possibility that you might be wrong.

Yeah but that would require effort.

Zarqawi also berated Iraq's majority Shiites...for supporting US-led forces in Iraq, and said that without that support "the situation of the Americans would be different"

To me this is the most significant statement. If we were were as far from achieving our aims as the MSM would have us believe, why would Zarqi beef about Shiite support to the Americans?

Prove to me that Che Guevara didn't die of aids. Don't quote any of those communist propaganda outlets (that eliminates all of the MSM).

Anti-Bush article that says he was there is here.

BBC believes it but tries to say he's not linked to OBL here .

Then there's the Bush-loving Washington Post telling how he swore loyalty to OBL here.

Comment #9 was apparently directed to me. I didn't see
it before it was yanked. It would defeat the purpose of yanking it if I asked what it said so I'll just ask if it was just a dumb ad hominem or was it something akin to a threat?
