Then why whould the Iraqi's make up a story that makes them look bad?:rofl:Mercator said:Al-Zarqawi is a myth.

Where did you hear that he's real? Zarqawi IS a conspiracy theory fabrication.scott1 said:Then why whould the Iraqi's make up a story that makes them look bad?:rofl:
If he was a myth they probally whould of said that they caught and then decide to just kill him and not have worry about his trail.

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the terrorist leader believed to be responsible for the abduction of Kenneth Bigley, is 'more myth than man', according to American military intelligence agents in Iraq.scott1 said:Then why whould the Iraqi's make up a story that makes them look bad?:rofl:

So you are saying that American military intelligenceis lying?cyrusabdollahi said:Mercator, you've been staring at the sun too long. Our eyes are just fine.
Do you have any evidence to back up your statements? Or are you shooting from the hip, cowboy. ;-)
I repeat:cyrusabdollahi said:Reread the article, it does not say that he is a myth. It says the extent to his actions may be over-estimated. He is very real, and very dangerous.
You have to assume they are not lying, until you have sufficent evidence or proof to justify the idea of them lying. It's how the system works.
and ill have you know that my eyes are terrible, I need stronger glasses AGAIN! I am blind as a bat these days
For future reference, don't say what's going on behind the scenes of any government or military without having specific official sources. You wouldent believe my opinions as hard fact, becuase I am not in the government, so why should I take yours to be? Have you talked with these insurgents? Do you know their end goals and hierarchical structure? So I guess the media, who get their sources from the Department of defense and the pentagon, they are all wrong. But only outside countries such as yourself get the "good" information from the US government on our policy. The US government must be keeping all the real issues hidden from their own media and only shared with other countries right? :uhh:The truth is that there is no Zarqawi acting as the leader of the whole insurgency, but rather a buch of different groups, each with their own agenda. Focusing on "Zarqawi" is dangerous for the troops in Iraq, because it conceals the real situation (and American military, contrary to the media and believers like yourself, have long abandoned the Zarqawi myth.)

I forgot that you are both in the American military and the intellegence agency to know what information they have on him and what actions they are taking.

You know, here outside the US we check various sources of news and make up our own mind. But if you choose the easy way to believe all the lies that the Bush administration continues to spout, please go ahead. I just thought there was a minor chance that you would be able to open your eyes and start thinking for yourself.
We occasionally hear of the US of updating their passports to make them more secure and un-counterfeitable.vanesch said:Maybe he showed them his US passport ?
I have provided a link which you obviously refuse to consider. That's fine, but then don't argue. It is exactly the kind of nonsense you write that lowers the quality of this forum.cyrusabdollahi said:Sorry, I appologize. I was just being sarcastic. Ill change it. But my point is don't go off on the US media and Government without having hard PROOF to justify it...wait a minute, now I get your sarcasm...I feel stupid.
We can think just fine for ourselves thank you. Keep your false propoganda to yourself next time, buddy. It makes you sound incredulous.
I have no anti-US remarks. Bush is not the US. And I am getting a bit sick of these selectively sensitive people who interprete every word they don't like as "anti- US". Enough.cyrusabdollahi said:Im not trying to be rude, but sir, you are openly bashing my country and calling my countryment incompetent, meanwhile you provide no real reason as to why. What, one link from ONE newsite? Common, no one called your country and your leaders a bunch of lyers... I am sorry if I offended you, but I find your anti-us remarks highly insulting and without merit.
That doesn't make a whole lot of sense - the first sentence seems to be contradicted by the rest. Please answer two simple yes or no questions:Mercator said:I don't say that Zarqawi does not exist. His actions and his role however have been made into a myth. Kinda like Satan has been created by Christians to represent all evil. It does not mean there is no evil, but just like it is useless to try to find satan to eliminate evil, it's useless to try to find Zarqawi. Zarqawi is a convenient "symbol" for both sides. The truth is that there is no Zarqawi acting as the leader of the whole insurgency, but rather a buch of different groups, each with their own agenda. Focusing on "Zarqawi" is dangerous for the troops in Iraq, because it conceals the real situation (and American military, contrary to the media and believers like yourself, have long abandoned the Zarqawi myth.)
But hey, give my regards to Santa Claus when you meet him.
Bush is not using him to provide "the" link between Al Qaeda and Iraq because he is not claiming Zarqawi was in Iraq prior to the war.The Zarqawi myth was created to put a face on the enemy and to "prove" the link between Alqaeda and Iraq. But then some radical Iraqi groups started rallying behind this fiction and made it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
And no doubt, this rapid two century decline will continue on for several more centuries. :uhh:Polly said:IMO, to watch the political and economic development of America is like watching a mindless giant steadily shaving away his own muscles, first the arm, then the thigh...
It is mind-blowingly sickening, morbid and painful

Good try, but I prefer to stay with the issue.russ_watters said:That doesn't make a whole lot of sense etc...
Read what I wrote, I never said your bush remarks were against the US, I said this remark, was very insulting to people of the US:I have no anti-US remarks. Bush is not the US. And I am getting a bit sick of these selectively sensitive people who interprete every word they don't like as "anti- US". Enough.
But I digress, let's get back to the point. If you want to debate if he's as big a threat as people claim, or that he's a figure head, as you claim, SO WHAT!? Honestly, all this is doing is putting a face on evil. Does it really matter if he's more legend than real? Does that negate the fact that there are insurgents in iraq comencing attacks everyday? At this point, debating this topic is besides the point. It will serve no good, what has been done has been done. You can argue the past all you want, but that won't change the future. As for the US military, I think they are quite competent in what their doing. It is VERY difficult to keep peace when you have gorilla warfare going on. Most other countries have not been able to pull of security with gorilla warfar, so I take my hat off to them for doing such a good job. There have been problems along the way, sure, but none the less, they are there for a noble reason, to bring stability to the region. Of course, this means the terrorists will fight them because if the US wins, it will be a hard blow to them, and they can't afford to let the US win. This is why you're seeing such intense fighting.You know, here outside the US we check various sources of news and make up our own mind. But if you choose the easy way to believe all the lies that the Bush administration continues to spout, please go ahead. I just thought there was a minor chance that you would be able to open your eyes and start thinking for yourself.
Because it was Iraqi's that caught him:rofl:Bush isn't lieing about al-Zarqwi if he needed make up someone to be the insugent leader he it whould Saddam.Mercator said:Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the terrorist leader believed to be responsible for the abduction of Kenneth Bigley, is 'more myth than man', according to American military intelligence agents in Iraq.
No why would American military intelligence make up a story that makes them look bad?:rofl: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2004/10/04/wirq04.xml

Huh? I was asking specific questions meant to clarify a seemingly self-contradictory post by you. How is that not staying with the issue? I'm asking you to be specific about what you think the issue is!Mercator said:Good try, but I prefer to stay with the issue.
So, does this mean you are claiming that there is no such person as al Zarqawi? You provided a link which says that he does exist (saving me the trouble), yet you seem to be saying that he doesn't. Are you arguing against your own sources?Why don't you prove to me with some undeniable links that Zarqawi exists?
So again - that makes it seem like you are contradicting yourself.The figure of Santa Claus is based on a real living figure, btw, that does not mean that "the" Santa Claus is real. Think you can draw the parrallel with Zarqawi yourself.
You don't think Zargawi is real? Think again.Mercator said:Good try, but I prefer to stay with the issue.

The figure of Santa Claus is based on a real living figure, btw, that does not mean that "the" Santa Claus is real. Think you can draw the parrallel with Zarqawi yourself. Did you read the article in Dutch? Can you comment on an academic point of view?
