For years reports have swirled about al Qaeda’s proclivity to experiment with chemicals and the like. What have they been working on? The secret is now out. They’ve developed a method to regenerate lost limbs!
Senior U.S. officials told CNN on Tuesday that they now believe fugitive terrorism suspect Abu Musab al-Zarqawi did not have a leg amputated in Iraq, as the Bush administration had previously said.
Although the administration pointed to Iraq’s medical assistance to al-Zarqawi as evidence of a link between al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein’s regime, it’s now believed that al-Zarqawi still has both legs.
Surprise. Another Bush pre-war claim gone bad. By now it’s easier to count the administration’s true statements than it would be to tally the false ones.
al-Zarqawi’s affiliation with Al Qaeda is tenuous at best to begin with anyway.
