Zarqawi's Fate Sparks Rumors Wednesday, May 25, 2005
CAIRO, Egypt — The Internet and Baghdad streets are teeming with statements about terror mastermind [b]Abu Musab al-Zarqawi ([url=javascript:siteSearch('Abu Musab al-Zarqawi');]search[/url]). One says he's being treated outside Iraq for gunshot wounds to the lung. Another calls on Muslims to pray for him, indicating his condition may be dire.

[/b]Only one thing is sure: None is confirmed.

The latest furor over al-Zarqawi began Tuesday when an Internet ([url=javascript:siteSearch('Internet');]search[/url]) statement called on Muslims to pray for his life, followed by competing statements on his health and whereabouts.

The mystery deepened Wednesday after reports that two Arab doctors in another country were treating al-Zarqawi, chief of Al Qaeda in Iraq ([url=javascript:siteSearch('Al Qaeda in Iraq');]search[/url]) and wanted for some of the deadliest attacks in the country.

None of the Internet postings and rumors have been confirmed, but the amount of speculation about the Jordanian-born militant is unusual both in size and scope.

"It makes me wonder if al-Zarqawi's injury is severe enough that they are afraid to lie about it, and are instead just trying to minimalize the impact," said Washington-based counterterrorism expert Evan Kohlmann. "In other words, they 'steal the thunder' from the Western media ... a crude form of defusing a potential public relations disaster."

It also could be a ploy to make al-Zarqawi more popular among Islamic zealots who follow him and his mentor, Usama bin Laden.

A return to the battlefield after being injured by U.S. forces could make al-Zarqawi look like "superman," Gen. Wafiq al-Samarie, the Iraqi presidential adviser for security affairs, speculated on Al-Jazeera TV.

The attention focused on his reputed injury indicates how crucial al-Zarqawi has become to Iraq's insurgency. He initially was regarded as a bin Laden rival until the Al Qaeda leader anointed him his representative in Iraq last year.

Al-Zarqawi, who carries a $25 million bounty like bin Laden, is believed to have personally executed foreign hostages and has shown no compunction in killing Muslims who don't adhere to his hard-line interpretation of Islam. He also encourages bloody attacks against anyone deemed a U.S. collaborator.

Speculation over his condition heightened when an Internet statement said two Arab doctors in another country were treating him. After being posted on another Web site, it was denounced as being unauthorized and false.

The statement from someone identified only as al-Khalidi said the information came from "brothers close to the holy warriors in Iraq."

The spokesman for Iraq's largest Shiite political group said it had unconfirmed information that al-Zarqawi was dead.

"He was killed in western Iraq," said Haitham al-Husseini, an aide to Abdul-Aziz al-Hakim, head of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq. "But we need more time to be able to confirm."

Hani el-Sibaie, who runs a London-based Islamic affairs research center, said calls to pray for al-Zarqawi meant he was seriously ill. "It is obvious that he is dying and his days are numbered," he said from London.

Recent U.S. and Iraqi raids on hospitals in Baghdad and Ramadi, west of the capital, have fueled the rumors.

Boy, I hope that murdering bastard fuck is dying or dead. And I really, really hope it's hurting.

Good news, but I'd like to hear when we catch his boss.

[Weltall]

So would I, but lately, Abu's been by far the more dangerous of the two.

Frankly, I'm not entirely convinced his boss is even alive anymore.

[EdenMaster]

We're better off without either of them.

[Great Rumbler]

Yes, indeed. Definitely good news, if it's true.

[Sacred Jellybean]

Nooo, don't die!

He's not allowed to die until I bite off his left eyeball and skullfuck him until he sings Japanese gameshow tunes. :(

[Great Rumbler]

That's the spirit!

Make sure he sings Yatta, too.

[Weltall]

I say, don't kill him. Just send in a team of surgeons who will switch his eyeballs with his testicles.

[Great Rumbler]

Now THAT would be weird.

[A Black Falcon]

Make sure he sings Yatta, too.

Yatta's a funny song though... though it's better with subtitles so you know what they're saying. :)

Nah lets hope he contracted the mad cow desease , So Al'qeada can have mentally rotting vegatable as its leader.

Unfortunately weither this guy dies or not it probaily wont do anything to end terrorism and the insurgency in iraq or abroad, Infact it might bolster it.

They are religous fanatics, He lives its miracle a sign from god to continue the slaughter, He dies he is a martyr and a example to all of them!

Before 9/11 and the hole terrorism thing, Matyr meant somthing noble and honnorable, A guy willing to take it all to upheld and stand to his ideals , But now "matyrdom" is somthing more dark sinister in meaning since then,Its means the act of mass murder for dubious rewards and to pressure others to follow in their path.

The best way defeat the terrorist is deny them the "matyrdom",It would be better off making them live in a humilitating and debilitating way.

Deprograming terrorists,Many of these guys have been brainswashed by years of indoctrination , bare in mind the average IQ in middle eastern countries is about 78 due to rather shady education and heavy religous focus instead of academics,The less educateds you are the more gaullible you are.

This kind of brain washing has been done for a long time, The Mayans did the same for their "ball game" tournament they had, Trying to drill into their heads since their youth you win the tournament and then given the prviledge of being offerd for sacrifice to the gods, You would be abled to live among the gods. In meso america rain and water was extremly precious and in short supply kind if like "dune" , Since it was most common delimma was water the god of "water" became the most valued and inevitably the supreme god.

So they would offer sacrifices and including human beings , Like virgins, slave warriors, Sports legends , the best of the best for hope the god would grant a season of rainfall to collect the dewdrops.

Eventually these traditions "obviously obessesive" become just scheiming and mind control by the upper class the nobles, supress and minipulate the peasants. Eventually their lies were discoverd that lead to a uprising inevitablying bringing a end to that civilization.

Just a simple "distilation" device and technology could have ended all that nonsense saved many lies from being murderd and in end the save the civilization providing water.

Not to nit-pick your post...actually, yeah I'm nit-picking it, but IQ has nothing to do with education. While early education may boost IQ scores temporarily, a person's IQ rarely changes much over their lifetime even with years of education. And I also question the average IQ of 78 since that is borderlining on mental retardation.

Well the IQ issue is in despute , Really if that were true then african americans are statiscally less inteligent, But that would be out of the question I have met alot of exceptionally bright black people.

If you were taught and brain washed into believing alot of bogus shit and taught that "doubting and questioning" is apostasy and condemnable by stoning denied and essential education , Your test scores might end up pretty low compared to other people.

If they were given the right education and studying I am sure it would rise to a normal IQ.

There was a austistic women on a recent CNN documentary that was originally classified as a IQ of 20 , But once she got the ability to communicate and type out her thoughts she was remeasured as 130.

Places were the education levels are greatly ahead of north america such as "korea" generally score higher IQs levels.

I think early mental stimulation and constant challenging of the mind do help raise the IQ in the long run. Otherwise basically your fucked and your nothing you can do about it so dont try ! Is what your saying?

Just because your IQ is 140 or higher doesnt make you super man or the master marvel.

Einstein just because he has been given the title worlds smartest man doesnt mean he was a expert on everything like alot folks mistakenly think.

Alot of the old held views on the brain have changed, Now it is proven that adults can grow new brain cells and the old belief that after childhood what you got is what you get is in question.

Certainly having brain damage and broken circuitry would hold you back.
