Zarqawi's influence accounts for less than 10% of the insurgencies in Iraq. He is nothing more than a mad man that capitalized on media hype with beheadings; he was about as important as Dennis Rodman to the NBA with the purple hair and wedding dress. I believe we accually benefited more by having him around; he was a delusional impure Muslim that polarized a block of sunnis away from the insurgency and accually forced division between Iraqi nationalist insurgents and foreign jihadists. This could be why US Special Operations Forces admitted to aquiring him in their cross hairs numerous times. Only until now was it finally beneficial to squash him; the Iraqi government is complete. Interesting to note that he is not really Al Qaeda. Originally his organization was Ansar Al Sunna; he changed the name to maximize media coverage.
Meanwhile....
Bin Laden is the CIA's manchurian candidate. He is a cats paw to exoterically justify countering Sino-Russian influence in Central Asia and the Middle East(IE The SCO, Iraq, Iran, and Caspain Oil and Gas) by planting bases in the Middle East, Central Asia and around the China Sea. Al Quada is arabic for "the base" or more accurately "the database"; it is CIA slang for NSA modified PROMIS(prosecuters management information system) software database compiled of mujahadeen warriors worldwide- to jack someone up just agitate your little pool of jihadists-see Bosnia, Chechnya and the Soviet Afghan War. I must go now and recharge my tin foil hat in the microwave; the men in black may read my mind and come to kill me.
