How do we know that al-Zarquawi really died? What's to keep the NSA from staging it for political reasons?

Question

For political reasons, it would be convenient for the NSA to report via telephone (as the news story indicates) that al-Zarquawi was killed, but that could be something orchestrated by the NSA/CIA/Defense Intelligence to aid their boss - the President, whose poll numbers are horrible. How do we know the validity of that claim?

Answer 1

If you all have been following the news, al-Zarqawi has been killed or suspectedly killed at least 12 times in the past 2 years.

Answer 2

How do we 'know' anything? We don't. What I believe is the NSA/CIA/DIA are run and operated by people who are more interested the the safety and security of this country than they are about which party or President is in office.

If you are wanting to start speculating. Speculate on this Abu Ghraib was filmed in Hollywood and the trials were just a ruse. And the whole thing was paid for by MoveOn.org. just to create hate and discontent around the world. Those liberals will do anything to get back in power.

I was just kidding about the last paragraph. But I have to wonder why you are so quick to discredit anything that might mean the situation in Iraq has some hope. How do you KNOW he didn't die and that the NSA isn't just doing what they are supposed to be doing.

Answer 3

Well partly it depends on whether you trust the gov't or not. The Al-quaida claims he was martyred so to me that would indicate that he was killed as well.

But how do we know the Oklahoma bomber was executed either. We don't see the death photos ever. We just have to trust that our gov't or news agencies are trustworthy.

Answer 4

Here we go...another anti-war/Bush hippie going at it again. First of all, proposing such a preposterous lie would be cut short by al-Zarqawi exposing himself on tape or video. Second, al-Qaeda has admitted to the death of al-Zarqawi. Now, go back to your cave and gather around your pro-gay marriage, anti-war, anti-Bush, anti-America, pro-terrorist, pro-Clinton, pro-Al Sharpton, anti-second amendment losers and figure out another way to rile up the dumb and illiterate masses; who tend to vote Democrat.

Answer 5

I saw a news report and there were about 20 pigs in the background who were obviously in mourning. I think they will miss him dearly.

Answer 6

First of all, you'd have to get those agencies to work together. Good luck with that.

Second of all, they have the body. case closed.

Answer 7

if they were going to do it for political reasons..there were and will be better timing for it...
