Zarqawi...Don't Underestimate Him....
A few weeks ago, a video clip showing Abu Musab al-Zarqawi surfaced. The short version showed him shooting a machine gun. The long version made him look like an untrained geek more likely to shoot himself than anyone else. That was the version that received more attention.
Don't underestimate this guy. His role is as a leader and no longer as a fighter. The powers at be are correct to make him look like a bumbling fool, perhaps it may make him look weak in the face of his men, and to portray him as a mere mortal to our troops and the Iraqi people.
Zarqawi's threat to our troops and interests is not in his ability to use weapons, but to lead his men in the relentless struggle to defeat us. For the terrorists, the way to salvation is in their struggle against us. If they die in the struggle, they are granted paradise.
We will never be defeated by Zarqawi militarily, his only hope for victory is if we lose our resolve and abandon Iraq and the rest of the Middle East. This is an attainable goal, it worked against the Soviets in Afghanistan and with the media and the "elite" against the struggle, it could happen.
Can you imagine what would happen if the media, due to the losses of some of their own, and the "elite" said, " We are behind this effort, we are there, we will win". "We will take care of politics during the elections, but right now we are behind the war effort". It could do nothing but help.
It is wrong to use the Vietnam analogy, it doesn't apply. Anyone who didn't expect the going to get very rough when the battle moved to the urban areas is not credible enough to provide comment.
Zarqawi and his minions want the world and don't care how long it takes. If you doubt it, read their material and look at Europe. If their will proves to be stronger than ours, you better start studying up on dhiminitude. Their will, their very Faith, is their most potent weapon, not the mechanical dispensers of munitions that befuddled Zarqawi.
The only question that remains is exactly how strong is our faith?
