Internet report says Zarqawi back at post (KC Star. (Cloning?)

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

CAIRO, Egypt - Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is in good health and is running his terror organization, according to an Internet posting Friday purportedly from the group's spokesman - the latest claim about the fate of Iraq's most-wanted militant.

There was no way to verify the statement's authenticity, but it follows several recent postings - including one from the same spokesman - that al-Zarqawi was wounded. Conflicting reports on whether he had died or been taken abroad for treatment led to speculation about confusion or jockeying for position among underlings.

Friday's posting did not address the question of whether al-Zarqawi was ever wounded.

"Our sheik is in a good health and he is running the holy war work himself and following the details of the work until the hour this statement has been written," said the posting by Abu Maysara al-Iraqi, considered to be the spokesman for al-Qaida in Iraq.

"There have been a lot of arguments in the media about naming a deputy to sheik Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Let everyone know that what's being broadcast by the enemies of God through their media is only designed to promote malicious plans," the statement said.

[Career Prole]

11. Then he'll be half-way

[Pirate Smile]

I don't believe Zarqawi's propaganda or the Pentagons so :shrug:

5. Did you ever read Levin's Boys From Brazil????

I think we may have something similar here.

20 or 30 of 'em maybe? THIS is why Bush is so afraid of cloning!

</sarcasm>

[dweller]

16. hmmm...and here i thought

4. This nonsense should be on the Weekly World News.

[K-W]

6. Seriously.

Im sure lots of good can be done speculating on who will replace a man who may not exist who supposedly runs an organization that most certainly doesn't exist.

[oblivious]

12. All these stories are written by the same hack in Langley or Baghdad.

Not one of them (AFP, AP, Reuters, Xinhua, etc) as far as I can see ever mentions which "Islamic websites" or even questions the info they received. The only qualifier they provide is something like "whose authenticity couldn't immediately be verified".

Since all info going to the world press from Iraq comes from just a handful of news services (mainly AP, AFP and Reuters), the DOD basically controls all news and creates their own reality.

That the world press accepts the manipulation is pathetic.

Look at this one -- an Indian compilation of LAT, WP and Reuters articles. Top military officers bidding to succeed A-Z? Are we really to believe that these people have been answering to a foreigner in the fight for their country?

7. From a sucking chest wound yesterday

to back on the job today. Yeah, I guess I could see it. :rofl:

I had a *bruised rib* once and I was on my back for a week. Who are the people that are supposed to believe this stuff? :shrug:

[K-W]

8. Clearly these people are in league with the devil and have magic powers

how else would one explain why republicans are so scared of them?

Oh, thats right stupidity, ignorance, and paranoia.

[jaysunb]

9. No ...not cloning

just more bullshit !

[DulceDecorum]

13. Zarqawi is the name of a small offshoot of

THE BORG COLLECTIVE.

14. The fundies are not going to like this. Revelations 13:12

Rev 13:11
And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he
had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

Rev 13:12
And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and
causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

Rev 13:13
And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down
from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

15. al-IRAQI working for al-CAIda on al-ZarqaWi is al-baloney.

Is al-Rumsfield writing these stories? I'll bet someone in the Office of Disinformation has gotten his hands on some of that primo Lebanese hashish. The storielines are getting a tad too fantastic. Someone needs to proof the final product.

[jobycom]

17. This guy has the best PR handlers I've ever seen for a terrorist!

He's got our nation and probably his talking about him for a week now.

[Selteri]

18. Either cloning or them durned stem cells

I mean, let's see here, he's lost his leg 4 or 5 times,
been killed at least twice

and I can't count how many times he's been fatally wounded.

[MGKrebs]

19. Oh! Beat me to it!

The Fristians are fighing with OLD GENES. The Muslims, presumably able to exploit stem cell research, have NEW GENES which self-repair, and fast too!

20. Zarqawi in his final days: Rumsfeld

In a pep talk to thousands of paratroopers, the US Defence Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, has likened al-Qaeda's chief in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, to a cornered Adolf Hitler during the final days of Nazi Germany.

Zarqawi has reportedly been wounded.

"Like Hitler in his bunker, this violent extremist, failing to advance his political objectives, now appears committed to destroying everything and everyone around him," Mr Rumsfeld said.

His comments came after Iraqi ministers said they had information verifying rumours Zarqawi had been wounded.

21. Al-Zarqawi could take 100 cyanide capsules and still survive.

Not even kryptonite can stop this guy. Like Clubber Lang from Rocky III, he is a one man wrecking machine!
