So just a few thoughts…
Consider: The Jordanians say hey, we told you where Zarqawi was 4 or 5 times and you never did anything.
Bush goes to Baghdad just before we hit Zarqawi, does his patented tough talkin idiot thing, is hailed as a strong leader, a brave and glorious codpiece once again.
We hit Zarqawi.
A week after we hit Zarqawi the USA today blares that Afghanistan has suddenly gotten much worse! Holy Toledo!
….next is….?
I tend to think “not much,” for now anyway. These folks have an uncanny patience and sense of timing. The grand goal is always a master narrative.
But just as a further exercise in borderline paranoia, if this is a scripted strategy a la Karl Rove, I cannot help but wonder what the significant variable was that they keyed on to start the sequence.
