Al-Zarqawi and the ‘Superpower’
by nano Wednesday, Jun 7 2006, 6:07pm
international / mass media / commentary

The Australian ABC has posted a bulletin announcing the death of the Jordanian punk, Al-Zarqawi, a petty criminal elevated to a position far beyond his street gang mentality, capability or stature! The ‘headline’ of June 8, 2006, reads:

“Terrorism in Iraq 'not over' despite Zarqawi death
US President George W Bush says American special forces "delivered justice" to Al Qaeda's leader in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, by killing him in an air strike.”

'Proof'
'Proof'

The world’s single “uncontestable” ‘superpower’ has been at war with a man it helped create [Hollywood Style]. The Straussian doctrine outlined by Perle and Wolfowitz to the PNAC members/signatories is now short one antagonist; but the show must go on hence you will note the inverted commas of the headline ‘NOT OVER’ (my emphasis). Trotsky would be proud; a minor re-arrangement of Jewish philosophy from perpetual revolution to perpetual war is not an issue for Zion and its adherents. Permanent war, is a perversion of the Trotskyist doctrine of “permanent revolution”, but why worry about minor details it’s an all Jewish ideology and Trotsky, Leo Strauss and his two most infamous students Wolfowitz and Perle are certainly not Baptists. No doubt the anti-semitic lobby will prevent anyone from making the obvious connection and publishing it in the mainstream media.

Even an untrained observer unaffected by the hype of the headlines could determine a clear picture of social management behind the ‘terrorist threat’. Take for example the absurdity of the world’s leading military nation/superpower in pursuit of one man for two long years. Either the ‘show’ could not end until the final act or we have one hopelessly inept superpower. If we include a twenty-five million dollar bounty the situation then enters realms of fantasy (hyper-realism) that only Americans and the feeble minded would accept.

All reports and profiles of Al-Zarqawi do not place him in the criminal genius category. Murdering thug and street crim maybe, but to evade the limitless resources of western agencies for two long years is out of the question unless of course the situation was managed to keep a population distracted, fearful, and compliant while precious resources were plundered and illegal invasions justified.

We have all noticed how helpful the Bin laden family has been to the Bush family especially when Dubya required a little boost during critical elections! Arrest Osama, maybe then the Bush administration may gain some credibility, but an oil cabal is not easily betrayed or eliminated.

The so-called international terrorist threat amounts to a disorganised bunch numbering less than a Mafia family in any one State of the USA. However, American hype and Zarqawi style build-up of a “threat” is helping to create a continuing real minor threat at best – that is the present reality, much to the consternation of the neo-cons.

If we are expected to believe that a handful of fanatics and zealots can hold the USA and other members of the coalition of willing criminals to ransom then expect to be learning Mandarin in the near future. The world obviously belongs to China.

Terrorism today either indicates the worlds most brilliant handful of criminals, a staged event or the most incompetent superpower the world has ever known – take your pick!

The world can’t wait for the next ‘B’ grade movie effort from America – any volunteers for the part? We have learnt not to trust any media ‘deaths’; Zarqawi may now be enjoying a new identity and a life of debauchery in Finland!

Have you seen the picture of a dead Zarqawi after the total demolition of the target – not a scratch on the face? Just a bit too perfect for most analysts; but they also botched the JFK murder.

Only in America!

Another POS is put down! A great victory for human kind with this dirtbag burning in hell!

But hang on, I was really relieved. What do you mean Al-badguy's death is nothing more than terrorism tonic for the masses? Isn't this the 'ruthless and monolithic conspiracy' that Kennedy warned us about? A key figure from the 'evil empire'? Oh I see, this is different. I just hope the US military-industrial complex and national security state will be able to survive in the face of such adversity. Pardon? You think they'll pull through? Praise Allah (I mean the good God...), how would we ever survive without them...

The freezer burns on Zarqawi's face were a bit obvious. Fire the makeup man! Oh, that's right. I forgot to add the followup addendum to the "Hunt for the Boogeyman" saga - Zarqawi was still alive, "conscious" and "muttered something" when he was pulled from the house rubble. That's what I call damage control!

Question - what do you think the condition of Zarqawi's remains should have looked like after being subjected to blast of 1000 pounds of high explosives? Pass the Hamburger Helper, please.

Milestone, watershed moments and turning points.....

Bush said the killing of Zarqawi was a severe blow to al Qaeda and offered a chance for the Iraqi government to "turn the tide" in the struggle against the insurgency.

Where have I heard that before?

Oh yes, on May 22, after Iraq's new cabinet was formed:

"The main reason I've come today is to talk to you about a watershed event that took place this weekend in Iraq. . . . We have now reached a turning point in the struggle between freedom and terror."

And on May 4, after Iraq's factions agreed on a new Prime Minister:

"This new government represents a turning point in Iraq, a new chapter in our engagement there, and an opportunity for progress."

May 1:

"We believe this is a turning point for the Iraqi citizens, and it's a new chapter in our partnership."

April 23:

"The formation of this government is an important milestone toward our victory in Iraq."

Dec. 15, 2005, a few days before Parliamentary elections:

"And there's a lot of joy as far as I'm concerned in seeing the Iraqi people accomplish this major milestone in the march to democracy."

Dec. 12, 2005:

"There's still a lot of difficult work to be done in Iraq, but thanks to the courage of the Iraqi people, the year 2005 will be recorded as a turning point in the history of Iraq, the history of the Middle East, and the history of freedom.

Oct. 16, 2005, after Iraq adopted its new Constitution:

"So, again, I congratulate the Iraqi people. I thank you for meeting this milestone."

June 28, 2005:

"When the history of this period is written, the liberation of Afghanistan and the liberation of Iraq will be remembered as great turning points in the story of freedom."

April 12, 2005:

"The establishment of a free Iraq at the heart of the Middle East will be a crushing defeat to the forces of tyranny and terror, and a watershed event in the global democratic revolution."

Jan. 29, 2005, after the first Parliamentary elections:

"Tomorrow the world will witness a turning point in the history of Iraq, a milestone in the advance of freedom, and a crucial advance in the war on terror."

June 18, 2004:

"A turning point will come in less than two weeks. On June the 30th, full sovereignty will be transferred to the interim government. The Coalition Provisional Authority will cease to exist."

March 19, 2004, on the first anniversary of the invasion:

"Today, as Iraqis join the free peoples of the world, we mark a turning point for the Middle East and a crucial advance for human liberty."

July 23, 2003, after the formation of an interim government:

"Now that we have reached this important milestone, I urge the nations of the world to contribute, militarily and financially, towards fulfilling Security Council Resolution 1483's vision of a free and secure Iraq."

The Repugs must be really paranoid...

about the public loss of support. Why else would they kill off the enemy in which they've put so much effort to create?

Sure seems like something out of a soap opera, doesn't it, when a character gets stale, or the ratings are slipping, they just devote some suspensful episodes to killing that character off, the ratings soar and there's renewed interest in a new character who basically plays the same role.

I wonder what they'll name the new guy? Maybe Ed ElJihad? How's that sound?
