They Got That Horrible Monster
MPG

Well they finally got one folks, that horrible “monster” out to get us all, that dark “villain” who terrorized the whole world, the “mastermind” upon whom all terrorist networks rely upon, the “boogie man” the “evil one” the “icon of chaos”, yes folks I’m talking about none other then Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi.

There he was, fixture practically every night on your TV’s, while as you stared mindlessly eating your pop-corn, your faux-news info-tainers with eyes bulging in fear, lips quivering in terror, recounted the dastardly deeds of this dark shadowy figure.  Hands shaking in terror, sweat beading their brows, they’d imply relentlessly that allof us have to join together in the “WAR ON TERROR” or who knows, he’d pop up from right under your bed. Shivering in fear as you retired to your bedrooms, your bodies quivering like blobs of Jell-O you knew you’d be safe because the mighty forces of righteousness would smite this terrible demon and all the others like him throughout the world no matter what the cost.

Ah…. our “mainstream” media is having a field day, ‘victory’, ‘victory’…. they’re shouting through the megaphones of the media resources they control.  Finally some ‘good’ news for a change, instead of the steady relentless tragedy unfolding in our living rooms every day from the quagmire of the middle east.  Some people in the press and in the administration are already saying ‘it’s a turning point’ as they have for so many other ‘turning points’ in the past.

Isn’t it fantastic, the evil villain brought low?  It must have seemed all so familiar to you, like the fairy tales you were told as a child…. and as a matter of fact that’s exactly what it is. A fairy tale, and like infantile children you believed every word of it.

Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi is a myth, a legend; an illusion conjured up to serve the interests of the authors of PNAC and the elites who sponsored them, nothing more.  A pawn, who was allowed to live as long as he was useful for the ‘game’ to continue, and one who will be as easily replaced as a shark replaces it’s teeth.

For three years he was almost nabbed or caught, always in the lime light but never in prison, and never very effective as a military force.  Finally he was killed…. it’s to bad we don’t have him alive so he could tell us what he knew, but I guess he’s more useful as a dead terrorist than a live informant.

He was a thug and murderer, in charge of a modest organization not linked to Al Quaeda, but after the start of the war they soon joined forces to fight the occupation.  More importantly for three years he served a very useful role to antagonize and inflame the ethnic tensions in Iraq.  A role that I reprised in my blog “al Zarqawi, al Qaeda the Media and the U.S.” and a role he was a master at.  As recently as a week ago he was fulminating against the Shia urging the Sunnis to attack them and calling them snakes.

Such a role, despite what this government says to the contrary, served a very useful purpose in dividing any national resistance movements and perhaps even reduced what could have been much heavier casualties for the U.S.  ‘Divide and conquer’ has always been how the worlds great powers reduce resistance in those countries they intend to permanently occupy. So why did U.S. forces go after Zarqawi?   

Aren’t they on the ‘game plan’, after all he’s been a splendid poster child for terrorism, a reason to ‘help’ the poor Iraqis.  His sudden demise could deal a death blow to our continued occupation of the country. After all if the Sunnis and the Shias get together they really won’t need the U.S. or its bases.  He was also a great justification for this administration’s repression in this country and the “long war” on terror Rumsfield is so fond of talking about.  So why kill him now?

Admittedly Bush’s poll numbers are in the can, but so what, Bush has said he doesn’t care about the numbers.  Besides, Bush has already fulfilled his function, he’s made a ton of money for his buddies and he can’t run for reelection anyway.  So why kill him now?

Admittedly the war’s nasty as can be, I mean it’s really been a lousy month hasn’t it, all these terrible events in Iraq, the chaos, U.S. troops involved in several hideous incidents, the casualties?  I’m sure some of our illustrious media wish they could report on something else, anything else, something with a more positive spin to it. And lets not forget the war’s nastiness was also going to hurt the Republicans chances of keeping their jobs in the upcoming elections.  So why kill Zarqawi now?

Maybe those of you reading this article can figure it out?  Hmmmm?
