Our Man in Iraq? Tom Hayden's Zarqawi Speculation

On the day of the running of the final leg of the Triple Crown, we've got a new leader in the Wackiest Zarqawi-Take Stakes. The new favorite in the kooky conspiracy derby is far from a colt. He's recycled anti-Vietnam activist and former Jane Fonda husband Tom Hayden. His winning notion? That Zarqawi might really have been our guy in Iraq.

In this Huffington Post piece, Hayden tries to give himself some cover by stating "I have no reason to believe Zarqawi was an [American] agent," but then immediately goes on to darkly muse:

"But I still wonder what those British soldiers disguised as Iraqis were planning on the day they were discovered in Basra in September 2004. I wonder if US Special Forces ever dress up as Iraqis and paint their faces."

He argues that, whether intentionally or not, Zarqawi served US purposes:

"It is enough to argue for now that Zarqawi served the purpose of dividing and fragmenting the Iraqi national resistance into bloody sectarian strife. The tensions were built into the power shift from Sunni to Shi'a, and only needed sectarian leadership to unleash the death squads and ethnic cleansing. In doing so, they gave the US a new rationale for intervention, one appealing to guilty liberals and moderates, the need for an occupier to keep the fanatics from killing each other. Permanently. But in doing so, Zarqawi was engulfing Iraqs in a boiling cauldron that promised no end to the killing and no exit for the US. There were many interests who wanted him dead."

And for good measure, Hayden also wonders-out-loud: "One wonders who really turned him in."

And did it all go down on The Grassy Knoll, perhaps,Tom?

A sick and irrelevant puppy, albeit one with a buttload of cash garnered in his divorce from Hanoi Jane.

"Thank you, Mr Hayden, I WILL have another one of those postage stamps..."

[Pharmboy]

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

This guy obviously used a lot of drugs in youth.

[SuzyQue]

I wonder if US Special Forces ever dress up as Iraqis and paint their faces.

Iraqis paint their faces? Special Forces paint Iraqis faces? He makes as much sense as he ever did.

[jazusamo]

He and his ex, Hanoi Jane are still the wacko traitors they once were.

[lexington minuteman 1775]

Well, they say that anybody that remembers the 60's did not really live them. Obviously Tom Hayden did a bit of smokin' something in his younger days.

[top 2 toe red]

Good God! Are these idiots born with a defective gene or is it a virus that attacks the brain...I am serious, there has to be something that explains this total insane lunacy of these crazy moon-bats!

[Plutarch]

"But I still wonder..."

Deserves some sort of prize for establishing himself both as a But Monkey and Moonbat in only four words.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

LOL. Well done!

[brazzaville]

Good afternoon.

I wonder if Tom, Jane and the other Antiwar commies got diarrhea when they visited North Vietnam back in the day.

Sorry, seeing the pri*k's name made my mind wander.

Hey give the guy credit. At least he believes Zarqi actually existed and wasn't just a CIA psyops construct. /sarcasm off

LBT

[dynoman]

Text book case of psychomyopia, psychoglaucoma, and subjective psychotic self-rightousness.

[leadpenny]

Hey Tom, what's the title of your movie?
"Three Days of the Condor" is taken!

[La Enchiladita]

Don't know, but no question he's got sh*t for brains.

Just another gigolo with too much time on his hands, and arguably the godfather of the current "anti-war" movement attempt at vietnam redux.

I haven't got the photos, but he and SINty bear a remarkable resemblance.

Pukes.

[claudiustg]

The anti-war movement of the sixties was generally OK with drug use and abortion. More people died of drug overdoses and abortions than ever died in Viet Nam. What's up with that, Tom?

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Tom, Connie Chung says not to mix the Finlandia vodka with the Haldol.

[miss marmelstein]

Wait til Hayden's arch enemy, David Horowitz, gets after this bit of moonbat-ism!

It's worth reading Jane Fonda's new bio in which she says Hayden was too scared to go with her on the notorious Hanoi trip back in 1972.

[TexanToTheCore]

This boy has had one too many hits from a bong.


How do these goofballs get elected to any office?

[Recon Dad]

I think his real name is Tomas Noriega.

[Brilliant]

Damn! We killed one of our own!


This Tom Hayden guy gets nuttier and nuttier, doesn't he?

[citizencon]

To Commy Tommy: more of these bizzare, outrageous and obscene thoughts and Jane might find you sexually attractive again...

[LRS]

Dear Tom: one more time, STAY AWAY FROM THE BROWN ACID!!!

[Prost1]

If Jane Fonda could go to bed with him, she could go to bed with anything and probably has.

They are just to despicable.

[Nathan Zachary]

Let this be a warning to all who think recreational drug use is harmless, and that mothers who drink and smoke dope while the baby is developing in the womb doesn't cause brain damage.

[SE Mom]

Let this be a lesson to youngsters- you take drugs- you'll actually THINK this way.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

I see that GMTA!

[SE Mom]

Yes indeed...LOL:)

[Donald Rumsfeld Fan]

He's recycled anti-Vietnam activist and former Jane Fonda husband Tom Hayden

[Inspectorette]

What's that thing in the middle of his face? Has he had a lot of facelifts?

[God luvs America]

this is a different spin from most of the leftist lunatics who believe Zarqawi was the bogey man and never really existed...and I hope they keep spinning this..

I've come to the conclusion that they can't scream "We created Zarqawi" as they do with bin laden or "We supported Zarqawi" as they do with Hussien...

Hence Zarqawi just plum never existed...

[AmericaUnite]

David Horowitz has a lot of things to say about Hayden in his book Radical Son including that he encouraged drug taking to add to anarchy.

Now Discover the Network we have this for Hayden:
"# A principal organizer of Students for a Democratic Society
# Collaborated with North Vietnamese Communists during the Vietnam War
# Organized riots at the Democratic Convention in Chicago 1968
# Married Jane Fonda and organized with her a successful lobby to cut off US aid to Cambodia and Vietnam
# Many term Democratic Assemblyman and Senator in California
# Failed mayoral candidate
# Blames U.S. policies for 9/11 World Trade Center attack"
and this pic of old:

[armymarinemom]

You have to wonder if he mama dropped him a time or two when he was just a wee one.

[IronJack]

I've also seen it suggested that he was:

-- a Saudi agent
-- an Israeli mole undermining al-Qaida
-- at war with bin Laden, who gave him up to the Allies because he didn't want the competition
-- not really killed, that the whole event was staged by the folks who brought you the mock moon landing and the grassy knoll
-- Elvis.

They're all about equally believable.

[Beckwith]

Did Tom ever get his acne cleaned up?

[reformedliberal]

I think if he had face lifts, he wouldn't have those funny medial cheeks and that banana nose.

My guess would be a combination of age and dissolute living gave him the face he deserved. To attempt to be fair, he could also just have been photographed on a bad allergy day.

This is the author of the Port Huron Statement, a manifesto for Participatory Democracy, aka: mob rule. That was in 1962. Tom is no spring chicken.

[Buffettfan]

Tom is worthy of a tobacco jucie facial just like his ex skank Jane Fonda.

[Uncle Vlad]

This guy obviously used a lot of drugs in youth.

Yeah, the Sixties were good to him.

[sinclair]

Nope. they go to school to learn that stuff.

[operation clinton cleanup]

Whats the deal with his nose?

[Mikey_1962]

Sadly, this piece of human refuse is a graduate of my Alma Mater, the University of Michigan.

How any educated man at his age could STILL be a Socialist is beyond me.

To understand the mind set, take a trip to the People's Republic of Ann Arbor sometime...

Good grief, this poor guy is actually retarded.




"I missed the boat by this much."

[Enchante]

Tom Hayden never got his head out of Jane Fonda's aXX. They should both be flown to Iraq and turned over to the jihadists for "re-education" in the gentle ways of Islamo-fascism.

[meema]

Good old Tom...somehow I thought he was no longer with us.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

"What's that thing in the middle of his face? Has he had a lot of facelifts?"

That, my dear, is the effects of too much alcohol in one's system. If Hayden's nose was filled with wine, we'd all get drunk.

[MrCruncher]

JUST in his youth?

[Mo1]

Tom Hayden is not just a socialist

He's a socialist crackpot

[Zuben Elgenubi]

That guy on the right looks a lot like Randall "Tex" Cobb
