1. Doesn't exist
Half-joking. I don't think that anybody could possibly compentently say ANYTHING concerning "al-Zarqawi".

4. I agree, also half-joking.
While a man with that name and face may be alive somewhere,
the 'alZarqawi' whom WE hear about is largely a creature of FICTION:
CREATED by the NeoCon Cabal and NURTURED by their lapdog Media Whores.

THAT alZarqawi is a being composed mostly of rumors and deliberate lies;
As such, he can never truly die, but only take a new name and face on our Internets and TeeVee Boxes.

7. He was killed two years ago. Bush is the one paying the rebels
They are his excuse to get funding for his backers.

8. Hm...
there's another theory based on little more than imagination.

It was towards the start of the Iraq War. Google him and you'll find some interesting stuff. There is some indication that he may have never existed, also. Look at the repetition of pictures.

11. I agree that he may have never existed --

-- as I said in my first post on this thread.

But making the leap from that to stating "Bush is paying the rebels" is just as silly as buying their propaganda. I do think that the Neocons were counting on resistance, and I do think they were planning on it. I also doubt that you have to pay people to defend their country against an invasion. All I'm saying is that being sceptical is one thing (and the only sensible thing to be, at this point), but making up your own version of events just because you're sceptical is another.

10. This may very well be correct. If his death in 2003 was false, then he
probably never did exist.

12. I don't believe such a person exists.
He's a figment, a bogeyman.
