Now Playing: and you're defending psychopaths because the president doesn't talk like you?
Can you imagine what a sick and sad existence this must be?
IRAQ’S most wanted man, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, goes to sleep every night wearing a suicide belt packed with explosives, according to a leading insurgent who met him two weeks ago.What is this Michael Moore-styled "Minuteman" defending with such zeal? Islam? Islam is doing okay, isn't it? It's even started to take on some democratic traits in some places. Like Iraq. Oh? But that's the problem, isn't it? Zarqawi and his nutjob followers know that a self-determined and pro-American Iraq is a huge pain in the ass right there in the middle of the Muslim Middle East. And they don't want it. But they are going to get it.
“He never takes it off,” said Sheikh Abu Omar al-Ansari, leader of a Sunni resistance group called Jeish al-Taiifa al-Mansoura (Army of the Victorious Sect).
“He told me: ‘I would rather blow myself up and die as a martyr — and kill a few Americans along the way — than be arrested and humiliated by them’.”
His account, passed to The Sunday Times by a reliable intermediary, is the first description of Zarqawi in Iraq since Washington slapped a $25m bounty on his head, the same as the reward for the killing or capture of Osama Bin Laden.
In the meantime, they live with explosives wired to their bodies. What a miserable and fucked up life that must be!
