Our Man in Iraq? Tom Hayden's Zarqawi Speculation

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?

Sadly, this piece of human refuse is a graduate of my Alma Mater, the University of Michigan.

How any educated man at his age could STILL be a Socialist is beyond me.

To understand the mind set, take a trip to the People's Republic of Ann Arbor sometime...

Good grief, this poor guy is actually retarded.

Tom Hayden never got his head out of Jane Fonda's aXX. They should both be flown to Iraq and turned over to the jihadists for "re-education" in the gentle ways of Islamo-fascism.

"What's that thing in the middle of his face? Has he had a lot of facelifts?"

That, my dear, is the effects of too much alcohol in one's system. If Hayden's nose was filled with wine, we'd all get drunk.

"How do these goofballs get elected to any office?"

Hey remember this is Kalifornia! Insanity is inbred out here! Unfortunately some of the Berkeley crowd didn't practice abortion.

Yes it does. The link refers to Hayden and Kucinich however. The nose doesn't look quite like Hayden's. But the image projects my thoughts of Hayden the hippie.

..Randall "Tex" Cobb

See you're a Warren Spahn fan. I saw him play during the 50's and early 60's. With Lou Burdette and the Braves. They were great.

My team was the Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers. Koufax, Drysdale and Johnny Podres. Those were the days.

Ahhh. I see this is going to be the start of a great relationship. Those were some very good Dodger teams and I always liked the players the Dodgers fielded.

You see Suzuki in Seattle has 101 hits through 64 games this year? Really quite amazing.

By the way, I like your homepage. I actually wrote my last response before I saw the Claude Raines/Humphry Bogart reference on your homepage. LOL. Doctor Strangelove is my favorite movie of all time (George C Scotts as General Turgidson was just magnificent). Second is Legends of the Fall and third is Cool Hand Luke.
