Elmo, are you not assuming that he was the real Zarqawi? That's a big assumption to make. The fact that Special Forces did not show up as far as we know suggests the Americans did not want the guy alive and it was left to the grunts under orders to kill him off.

That was the real Zarqawi, if they were going to fake something they would fake Osama. If they were going to fake this they would have done it on the last 10 raids that failed. If they were going to fake this they would have done this when they really needed a press distraction. Not everything that happens is a conspiracy regardless of GLP.
