Abu Musab al-Zarqawi captured by US forces in Iraq?

[Annus Horribilis]

12.00 GMT. IDAO exclusive. According to IDAO's own sources in Baghdad and Sulaimanya, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has been arrested in Bagouba by US forces.

The US occupation forces will cite this arrest as a victory for their war on terrorism. The people of Falluja in their demonstrations demanding US withdrawal of the last few days,which has topped 30,000 people according to news agency reports, have raised slogans distancing themselves from the Zarqwai group. The people of Falluja have repeatedly accused US forces of using Zarqawi as a pretext to demolish a city of 300,000 in an attempt to quell its resistance to the occupation. Many in the Iraqi resistance have expressed opposition to Zarqwi's methods in the past, who is regarded as a small force in the anti-occupation movement.

4. Too bad they put off capturing him twice when they knew the location of

his camp outside of Iraq before the war. If they had captured him then, he might not have been useful all this time as bogeyman #2. Besides a one-legged average height terrorist can still not run as fast as a 6foot 6"inch tall terrorist dragging a dialysis machine.

5. Its Bullshit ...

Nothing has been going right in the War on Iraq (or the War on Terrorism). If they had actually done something that people would recognize as a victory in either one of these areas, they would be patting themselves on the back endlessly, and flaunting it to the world.

They have yet to convince the American People that the War on Iraq has been justified (support dwindles every day). This is something they would not save till later.

7. I didn't know....

...I feel like a chump because I didn't realize that 30,000 Iraqis were protesting against the US occupation.

II haven't read the MSM much in the past few weeks.

Is this really true?

8. now why would they

capture someone who is either a) their employee, or b) a figment of their imaginations?

10. If true, certainly good news, but

I'd need a lot more verification than this story before I believe it.
