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?
Huffington Post/NewsBusters ping to Today show list.
This guy obviously used a lot of drugs in youth.
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.
He and his ex, Hanoi Jane are still the wacko traitors they once were.
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.
Deserves some sort of prize for establishing himself both as a But Monkey and Moonbat in only four words.
LOL. Well done!
Hey Tom, what's the title of your movie?
"Three Days of the Condor" is taken!
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.
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?
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.
