FW, you have a problem
If "Zark" were responsible for only 10-15% of the violence, and if as you seem to suspect the documents were forged, then why the huge gains against the terrorists and the huge reduction in terrorist violence since he was killed and the documents captured?

I'll have to check to see if U.S. forces control more than about 30% of the countryside. not too long ago that was it.

This would be great news if ...
foreign insurgents were the only ones terrorizing the Iraqi populace. Unfortunately, the military estimates that Zark was responsible for only 10-25 percent of the violence. Sectarian militias are causing the most problems, according to press reports. That's why civil war is such a looming concern.
BTW, did the Bush administration find those documents you quote so extensively from the same source that provided the Niger "yellow cake" documents and the locations of the WMD???

writer,
Another great post. If all the virgins in heaven look like Janet Reno I would not even wish death on Al-Zarqawi.

Writer,
I am one of those didn't think that Zarqawi's demise would make all that much difference. I am changing my mind because, in addition to killing that butcher, we also apparently obtained a lot of intelligence about his network, knowledge that is now being put to good use. So I want to use a famous Churchill quote from 1940, to characterize how I see things now:
"This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."

Writer...
You just know those are forged documents.......many news sources are stating that they don't "sound" like the man........this contention will gain steam in the next few days........
If they're forged....how come we've been able to strike them hard....in hundreds of raids....dozens of weapons caches..........hundreds killed......as a result of forgeries?????
Give us a break!
