PARIS - Al Qaeda’s leader in Iraq, Abu Musab Al Zarqawi, is dead but Washington continues to use him as a bogeyman to justify a prolonged military occupation, an Iraqi Shia cleric said in an interview published here on Friday.
Sheikh Jawad Al Kalesi, the imam of the al-Kazemiya mosque in Baghdad, told Le Monde newspaper: “I don’t think that Abu Musab Al Zarqawi exists as such. He’s simply an invention by the occupiers to divide the people.”
Kalesi claimed that Zarqawi was killed in the Kurdish northern region of Iraq at the beginning of the US-led war on the country as he was meeting with members of the Ansar Al-Islam group affiliated to Al Qaeda.
“His family in Jordan even held a ceremony after his death. Abu Musab Al Zarqawi is therefore a ploy used by the Americans, an excuse to continue the occupation. It’s a pretext so they don’t leave Iraq.”
Kalesi made the comments to Le Monde as he passed through Paris.
When did he die? Where is his body? Produce some proof, buddy, or shut up.
I think the term he uses (occupiers) to refer to Americans giving their lives to try and help these voluntarily enslaved fools such as this so-called religious leader says it all about his point of view.
"So let's have the body!
There has to be a reward for even his dead, rotting corpse!"
What is the randsom up to $25 Mill, $50, $100 Mill?
If true, then GOOD!!
I once heard or read somewhere that the American Indians had a deep respect for people who were insane. They thought the great spirit entered the minds of these people. It is obvious the Muslims have a deep adoration for insanity also since I have never heard an Imam who was sane.
Truth is what I can get you to believe, says the Imam.
Or maybe a pancake... anything is better than a curtain!
Oh, well that cinches it.
We all know Islamists never rationalize doing anything to overcome the "infidels", even though their "holy" Koran tells them ANY despicable behavior is acceptable in the charge they've been given by their "prophet" to dominate the world.
When do Jihadist Imans and Lunatic Libs stop lying?

Forget putting panties on his head. Make him slop the hogs!
We'll know for sure when Mother Zarqawi wants to meet with President Bush.
E's pinin for the fiords.
Bring us his head and we will believe you.
We should claim that he is dead too. Maybe he will start more movie productions and prove that he is not dead. Every chance to get him is a good one. We should claim that Binladen is dead too. For the same reason.
