This war continues to resemble something out of Monty Python:

The speaker on the tape, identified as Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, also said the group's suicide bombers did not intend to bomb a Jordanian wedding party at an Amman hotel last week, killing about 30 people...

...Al-Zarqawi accused the Jordanian government of hiding casualties among Israeli and American intelligence agents, and he insisted al-Qaida in Iraq was not targeting fellow Muslims.

"We want to assure you that ... you are more beloved to us than ourselves," al-Zarqawi said, addressing Jordanians.

See, he's right. This was supposed to be a happy occasion. Let's not bicker and argue about 'oo killed 'oo.

Now if only their 'castles' would burn down, fall over, and sink into the swamp.

I didn't realize Amman was good.... pig country.

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is a cornered rat and he knows it. He knows why his head is still on the shoulders and his prospects are bleak. He's still in some kind of denial as evidenced in the mistakes of his own personal rebellion. As evidenced in the slowly growing rhetoric in MidEast communities.

What an idiot - "I clear my nostril in his general direction..."

It's also like a Warner Brothers cartoon. Al Qaeda's strategy was to bait the US into bombing mosques, schools and weddings, to drive ordinary Muslims into Al Qaeda's arms. And like Elmer Fudd hunting wabbits, or Wile E. Coyote, Super Genius, trying to catch the Roadrunner, Al Qaeda is somehow the one bombing mosques, schools and weddings. And they can't quite see how it happened.
