B: It isn't quite that. We didn't push the Russians to intervene, but we knowingly increased the probability that they would.Zarqawi was on the CIA's books for over twenty years by the time the Neocons came to power in 2000. When 9/11 just happened to gift them the 'casus belli falsus' to beat them all, they immediately went about the task of gathering together a group of likely fundamentalist Islamic patsies to take the rap for the Neocon's war on fake Islamic terrorism, which wasn't a war at all but rather the bludgeoning of millions of innocent people in the Middle East and S.E Asia in the interest of Empire or, to be more precise, the externalization of the Neocon's psychopathology.
Q: When the Soviets justified their intervention by asserting that they intended to fight against a secret involvement of the United States in Afghanistan, people didn't believe them. However, there was a basis of truth. You don't regret anything today?
B: Regret what? That secret operation was an excellent idea. It had the effect of drawing the Russians into the Afghan trap and you want me to regret it? The day that the Soviets officially crossed the border, I wrote to President Carter. We now have the opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam war. Indeed, for almost 10 years, Moscow had to carry on a war unsupportable by the government, a conflict that brought about the demoralization and finally the breakup of the Soviet empire.
Q: And neither do you regret having supported the Islamic fundamentalism, having given arms and advice to future terrorists?
B: What is most important to the history of the world? The Taliban or the collapse of the Soviet empire? Some stirred-up Moslems or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the cold war?
Q: Some stirred-up Moslems? But it has been said and repeated Islamic fundamentalism represents a world menace today.
B: Nonsense! It is said that the West had a global policy in regard to Islam. That is stupid. There isn't a global Islam. Look at Islam in a rational manner and without demagoguery or emotion. It is the leading religion of the world with 1.5 billion followers. But what is there in common among Saudi Arabian fundamentalism, moderate Morocco, Pakistan militarism, Egyptian pro-Western or Central Asian secularism? Nothing more than what unites the Christian countries.
At 6am on June 7th 2006, a U.S. airforce F-16 dropped two 500lb bombs on a single isolated safe-house outside the city of Baqubah, 30 miles northwest of Baghdad, where, we are told, Zarqawi was staying with 5 comrades. In doing so, the NeoCons sacrificed a valuable 'Islamic terrorist' bogeyman. That is not to say, however, that Zarqawi was actually in that "safe house".
Here's an image of the house before it was bombed:
Now, have you ever seen the effects of a 500lb bomb? Have you ever seen the effects of two? Have a look:

Here's an image of what was left of the house:
Now remember, we were told Zarqawi was in that house at the time of the bombing.
So after two massive pieces of ordinance were dropped, essentially on his head, this is the condition in which US troops allegedly found him.
