ROFLOL!
I have carefully weighed the costs of reading this long posting with its confusing threads and connections versus simply nuking the iranians. The latter is less painful.
The one thing that gives me pause about this is that when Zarqawi went down all his data was with him, resulting in the very productive operations now going on against the terrorists networks.
If someone did turn him over for some strategic reason they would have known that along with him they were also giving up many others as well. In my mind that eliminates Al Qaeda because they would have had to know they would harm the entire organization. I also don't see how Iran benefits from this because they have to know that with Al Qaeda wounded and on the run that the coalition will turn their attention to the armed shia militias. I don't see how that would help Iran.
The people who had the most to gain and the least to lose where the Jordanians or someone within the Baathist insurgency in need of the 25 million. Personally I think it was Jordan alone who turned him in by telling them to watch the so called spiritual advisor.
Who writes such nonsense? Hamas didn't give up one of their own anti-jewish warriors.
just thinkin' out aloud here, but which member of the Hamas government just came back home with 27 million dollars in his suitcases?
OK, Zarq...you asked for it...
bttt
What makes this article more than a rumor of fable at this point?
Maybe that PLO official caught with 20 million in cash at the border was bringing home the Zark reward money?
While I see it as possible that someone in Iran might have given some useful intel to someone who passed it to us, I can hardly believe this was some kind of policy decision from the top. I don't see Iran's Kook-in-Chief giving up the one guy who was doing the most damage (real or ginned up in our press), against our efforts in Iraq--which, if successful, threaten to spill over into Iran.
Chaos in Iraq is what was best for Iran's leadership, regardless of who was causing it. Zarqawis death bolsters Iraq's new goverrnment and president Bush. Neither of which is good for the persian mullahs.
Bump for later reading.
