U.S. Propaganda to blame?

Sure, I can believe that. The U.S. MSM frequently cited Zarqawi as a near mythical figure that couldn't be defeated.

The U.S. military and the Bush administration has kept on saying that they were going to get him eventually.

So if Zarqawi was promoted as some kind of mythical hero for the terrorists, it wasn't the Bush administration, or the Republicans, or the conservatives... It was the journalists who are all deeply saddened at the demise of their favorite boogie man.

I couldn't agree more. It's the Liberal Media Establishment (LaME) who provided him the mythical status. They long for Zarqawi or bin Laden statements, and videos/pics of Americans got killed to the point that they accepted pic of a doll billed as 'captured American soldier' as a fact.
