Kerry needs to raise the passed opportunities to get Zarqawi
b4 the Iraq Invasion
remember when he was operating the camp (in Kurdish controlled N. Iraq) and Bush passed on at least 3 opportunities to take him out due to fear that it would reduce the case for war against Iraq?

George W. opened the door WIDE for Kerry to raise it by saying today... (paraphrased)
"What does Senator Kerry think Zarqawi would be doing if he wasn't fighting American troops in Iraq today? Living a normal, peaceful life?"

Kerry needs to hot W hard with the question, why is Zarqawi alive period Junior?????

OK I am off to a militarization of space lecture, good place to burn off steam,

4. Right he did and CNN "fact checked" it and then I "fact checked" CNN
He definitely should bring this up everyday until the press has to check on it-Will they report on Michleshevski's (sp?) MSNBC report? (NOTE that it didn't make it to NBC).

2. Kerry should say: "Bush CREATED al-Zarqawi"
after all, didn't the Iraq occupation radicalize al-Zarqawi? Bush is digging at Kerry for calling Iraq a "diversion from the war on terror", using the Zarqawi-Bin Laden (new) alliance to illustrate his point- but Kerry can respond that Bush policies CREATED al-Zarqawi and the Al Qaeda threat which did not exist before our invasion.

3. Bush is playing up how dangerous Zarqawi is
Edited on Wed Oct-20-04 05:10 PM by Atman
so he can catch him next week. Just watch. Suddenly Zarqawi is the mastermind of everything, and even a UBL devotee. Bush mentions him in every speech now. He's playing him up since he can't find UBL.
