CNN said WE DON'T KNOW WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR JORDAN
But everyone all over every news station says it was Zarqawi.

This is a huge problem. What if it was someone else? Are we ignoring someone else who is bombing people?

1. Zarqawi..... Iraq..... terror.....
Of course the MSM is going to help bushitler link them all together. In their minds it justifies us going to Iraq. People are too stupid to blame bush for bringing Zarqawi to power. He came to Iraq after we invaded/occupied. Thanks a lot George.

2. He was there before the war...in Kurdish territory. We didn't care.

Avoiding attacking suspected terrorist mastermind

But NBC News has learned that long before the war the Bush administration had several chances to wipe out his terrorist operation and perhaps kill Zarqawi himself — but never pulled the trigger.

In June 2002, U.S. officials say intelligence had revealed that Zarqawi and members of al-Qaida had set up a weapons lab at Kirma, in northern Iraq, producing deadly ricin and cyanide.

...

The Pentagon drew up a second strike plan, and the White House again killed it. By then the administration had set its course for war with Iraq.

“People were more obsessed with developing the coalition to overthrow Saddam than to execute the president’s policy of preemption against terrorists,” according to terrorism expert and former National Security Council member Roger Cressey.

13. this is of huge (hugh111!!1!!) importance
bush nows uses the name zarqawi as his favorite scary word to keep the masses in line. but zarqawi, if he planned this bombing, is still operating thanks to george and the gang. at the time, getting rid of zarqawi would have diminished their case for war, so they let him go. this whole episode points out the bogus nature of their "war on terror". there really are terrorists out there who need to be stopped, but that is not what this administration is doing. indeed their tactics have just increased the likelyhood of a serious and probably catastrophic increase in terrorism.
do not let these bastards continue to use the name zarqawi to further their immoral and incompetent schemes! this info needs to be spread far and wide: bush let zarqawi go so he could rush into war. we are all paying the price for that monumental stupidity.

3. Hey, maybe al-Qaeda
bombed the Bologna train station in the early 80's! Or started the Baader-Meinhof gang! Or hired the Red Brigades to shoot up Rome Airport!
Whatever.
We have always had uprisings/insurrections/terrorism. What we do differently now is bomb countries, instead of actually, you know, apprehending the perpetrators.

6. In America, it's best not to believe anything you hear.
Take it with a grain of salt. We have a dishonest government and no Murrows or Cronkites in the mainstream news business to fact check anything.

7. CNN is right in saying they don't know
anyone who is saying they know it's Zarqawi is just willingly serving as a mouthpiece for the military/Bush admin.

11. It was a Syrian faction of pan Arab nationalists that
don't want the middle east to be taken over by the Bilderberg group. Leadership in Jordan is in bed with the Bilderbergs. Or it was the Mossad, take your pick.

12. Did you hear Lou Dobbs talking to Dana Bash?
I thought the poor woman's head was going to spin right off her neck! Sheez! She took the opportunity to ramp up the rhetoric and started just spewing BushCo talking points about how the pResident has been trying to tell the American people that there was a connection between Iraq and the al Qaeda movement, and that this was just more proof, blah, blah, blah.

I thought I would just fall out in the floor. She is Bush's mouthpiece, absolutely. Wonder what she gets for all that free "favorable press" she gives him. :shrug: :puke:
