Just saw that headline on Yahoo. Do you know what's sad about this story? After the WMDs weren't found, and most of the Iraqi-al Qaeda links were proven false, there were a bunch of really stupid people searching for a rationalization for why we were there. And do you know what the new claim was? Zarqawi has ties to al-Qaida, and Zarqawi has ties to Saddam Hussein, so that means Saddam Hussein has ties to al-Qaida and thank God Bush is president because freedom is on the march and it's not stopping because it has a blister on its toe!
But maybe I'm not being fair. Maybe Zarqawi vowed allegiance to al-Qaida months ago, broke up over a spat, experimented with some other terrorist groups, found himself thinking about Qaidy-Wady, and then re-vowed his allegiance to al-Qaida.
Or maybe they were secret lovers all this time, but too embarrased to share their passion with the world...until now! Or maybe President Bush isn't a president but a seer and is so used to looking into the future that he gets different points in time mixed up.
"But we've always said there were ties between Zarqawi and al-Qaida, which underscores once again why Iraq is the central front in the war on terror," White House spokesman Trent Duffy said in Washington.
I'm scared to read 1984 again because I think I'm going to cry.
