So our intelligence forces had drawn up plans to nail Zarqawi, that were thrice struck down by the runner up in the 2000 presidential election. I wish that I could make this stuff up, but the reason seems to be that the act of attacking an actual terrorist cell, might undermine our case for invading Iraq. Now 15 months after GI George stood on the destroyer and assured us of the mission was accomplished, thousands lay dead many of them at the hands of Zarqawi. This week alone has seen daily beheadings and car bombings.
Ironically, the only person in the US or Iraq who is safer since the capture of Saddam, is Saddam.
Still, we managed to collar that rapscallion Cat Stevens before he could pen another sappy ballad. So, Bush has something to brag about in the debates.
