Carl Hiaasen (Miami Herald): Disillusioned with the war? Here's why

[Dudley_DUright]

Al Qaeda's No. 2 beard appeared on Al-Jazeera television the other day and urged all Muslims to join a holy war against Israel.

Ayman al Zawahri told the faithful that the whole world is their "battlefield," and that they must keep fighting until Islam prevails from "Spain to Iraq."

Spain seems stable, for the moment. Unfortunately, Iraq is a bloody mess, and the rest of the Mideast is erupting.

The fact that al Zawahri is still alive and ranting nearly five years after 9/11 sums up the botched and misguided war on terror.

1. So al Zawahri wasn't killed after all? Whose body did we see?

Why did we see it? What was that idiocy Bush said about fool me once? No wonder he couldn't say it right; it was one of his normal thought processes. The Idiot-in-Chief!

2. That was al-Zarqawi

al-Zawahri is still very much alive.
