I mean, I fully Realize that he's Definitely got some outside/inside help from some Higher-Ups somewhere...
...but it would be very Horrendous if it was something like Oliver North's Mission Compromised, where several US politicians are directly aiding/abetting the Jordanian.
Zarquawi is either in Syria or Iran.
They operate by cell phone.
Seems simple.
Not at all - Even if wannabe traitor's wanted to help Zarqawi there is no plausible way for them to do so (directly). In terms of keeping him aware of our tactical Ops on the ground -
Of course he does. I really feel Zarqawi is working to unload a major league hit within the Green Zone or within the new Iraqi parliment..
If he manages to pull off that coup, we're out of there and he wins.
Sadly, this would not surprise me and it is actually quite plausible. Remember the human shields and other such sympathizers?
Not cynical, smart. We know he's got the Iraqi police, military and Green Zone well-infiltrated. We use Iraqi interpreters everywhere we go. Therefore, Zarqawi practically knows our every move before we make it. It's dumb, dumb, dumb, imo.
I don't remember Patton and his men employing thousands and thousands of Krauts and Frenchmen as they advanced toward and through the Rhineland. Indeed, Iraq was pretty much of a cakewalk until we began employing Iraqis to help us. Our military does best when it's completely self-sufficient and not dependent on help from the natives. It's one of the things that's bothered the heck out of me since Korea.
