I actually heard about this find a few weeks ago. Basically, what it means is that Zarqawi does have operation oversight over much of al-Qaeda around the world. And, that he doesn't want attacks linked back to him in Iraq, because that would hurt his goal of getting Western publics to decide Iraq isn't worth it and give up the fight.

That is why Zarqawi had some BS group claim credit for the attacks on our ships on only admitted he did it a week later after they captured some of his men, by that time everyone knew he was behind it anyway.

"And, that he doesn't want attacks linked back to him in Iraq, because that would hurt his goal of getting Western publics to decide Iraq isn't worth it and give up the fight."

If he's smart he would want the attacks on London linked to Iraq. Tony Blair has consistently denied this to be the case, so that would be far more damaging for Blair domestically.

Thanks for the info. Just imagine now that we didn't go into Iraq after Afghanistan. There'd be the biggest friggin' Usama base that anyone could ever imagine. The idea that Saddam wouldn't embrace Usama's scum is pure ignorance.
