Edit:<<This is Taher's opinion, always interesting.>. interesting, but, imHo, opinion, where i am a person that has to make my definings and parameters fit into the particular disciplines i use, must, in honesty reject outright.
I now think you have hit on digging out a CIA operative, as i think that is more likely than this guy just being a crackpot.
i can not underestimate the total rubbish of what he has written here, and worthy of the CIA.
(a little repetition ahead:)
(New -insertion, i bring to here my last comment after reading this now quite carefully, and will say boldly That Taher is a blogging over the edge crackpot OR a paid employee of the U.S. CIA to get out outrageous and sinister MISINFORMATION.
His views are pure venemous propaganda, without foundation,and the CIA if they don't pay him would hire him in a minute
I would track this guy for possibility we have a CIA plant here---in thast he writings would be VALUABLE to track.
Don't think for a minute the CIA does not operate this way---o boy do they ever use methods like this
One, i can say with confidence that Zarqawi is likely the most mentally bizarre dangerous brute in this game.
I read a looong article by 2 journalistic that spent weeks tracing down those that were in the same cell block with Zarqawi during the 6 years he was in prison in Jordan for 6 years.
They put together a powerful profile.
I read it in my print NYT, and described all that i read.
But as things like this don't work on these boards, i will have to go search and pay NYT to get it posted.
Several were themselves Al Queda, and stated Zarqawi was a dangerous, stupid thug that ruled thru brute fear(he was the cell boss, all lived in fear of him.
I say he is patholgically anti-Shi'ite .
Zarqawi translated "I despise Shi'ites even more than i despise Jews"
He , despises Iran,also, for the mere fact they are Shi'ites and would never work with Iranians.
Iran surely no all this.
To, and this is VITAL, the Jaafari government, had a 20 men entourage went to Iran and they made a bond of loyalty, but in a classic written document signed by both parties, the agreements included Iran would do nothing to create civil war in Iran.
This was a formation of alliance with the Shi'ites of Iraq, and most specifically with Sadr, who oposes civil war.
This is imaginings, it did happen--and U.S. had no knowledge of it until after the deal was done.
This is why they are desperate to get rid of Jaafari and Rubaie
A bitr of trivia all the writings of Zarqawi can't be Zarqawi, why?
From his cellmates, and those on his cell block, he would write and read manifestos, and the listeners had , out sheer terror the man, fight from laughing hysterically, that is grammar, syntax, was pathetically bad arabic--he was in short a terrible with writing words on paper.
I say every document from Zarqawi was written by another, or was re-written by another to make it literate.
I have a post of how Zarqawi became to be recognized by Al Queda, that it was an act of desperation, as they had ZERO presence in Iraq, they did so in fear he was an out of control looney.
Al Queda now know it was a major mistake and he is 9 if he is still alive)in the way of Osama and Zawahiris newly expessed opening up to pursuing a Pan_Islamic movement and making their peace with Shi'ites( in other words Osama and Zawahiri are signalling that, look we are NOT over the edge, Wannabes, we want Muslim unity, not divisiveness--this would be a huge reversal for them, and would hurt the U.S. badly, if Bin Laden and Zawahiri branch of Al Queda ever did fulfill an alliance with Shi'ites.
This tension between Sunnis and Shi'ites have always been to the ADVANTAGE of The West)
And am out of time to ramble on this, but i have great confidence on this,my view of Taher
Sorry, but that is the situation.
i will try to remember to google him and keep an eye on what he is saying, i would love it to verify he is a CIA operative spilling out misinformation.
BTW, i have a 30% chance Zarqawi is dead, and has been for several months.
