CAIRO, Egypt Apr 25, 2006 (AP)— An Islamic web site on Tuesday posted a rare video showing al-Qaida in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who accused the West and the United States of waging a "crusader" war.
In the video, al-Zarqawi also said that Islamic holy warriors were standing firm in the war.
In the past, al-Zarqawi has made statements only through audiotapes posted on the Web. The video came just two days after a highly publicized call to arms by al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden that encouraged Muslims to support his group in its war with the West.
The U.S. military is conducting a propaganda campaign to magnify the role of the leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq, according to internal military documents and officers familiar with the program. The effort has raised his profile in a way that some military intelligence officials believe may have overstated his importance and helped the Bush administration tie the war to the organization responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
Some senior intelligence officers believe Zarqawi's role may have been overemphasized by the propaganda campaign, which has included leaflets, radio and television broadcasts, Internet postings and at least one leak to an American journalist.

He finally shows his face and now those people say that he's a fake and a myth now realize their mistake, now to mention asking about why he hasn't shown his face but only audio tapes publicly and that it must be a U.S. creation. Ironic aint it?

Deltaboy,
Sorry to burst your bubble but what's obvious here is that he's a fake and that this gov will stop at NOTHING to continue the illusion.
IMO, its nothing but an insult to our intelligence (should there be any there in the first place)!!!
