Zarqawi 'Hijacked' Insurgency

WaPo reported The top U.S. military intelligence officer in Iraq said Abu Musab Zarqawi and his foreign and Iraqi associates have essentially commandeered the insurgency, becoming the dominant opposition force and the greatest immediate threat to U.S. objectives in the country.

"I think what you really have here is an insurgency that's been hijacked by a terrorist campaign,"

I guess that is only to be expected. The Islamic movement hijacked a major religion, and now its representative in Iraq hijacks an insurgency worried that the Shi'ites may do to them, as they did when they were in power. Zarqawi just lost his second in command, and the man in charge of the financing. When will the Iraqis get tired of Zarqawi and turn him in too.

Army Maj. Gen. Richard Zahner said in an interview. "In part, by Zarqawi becoming the face of this thing, he has certainly gotten the funding, the media and, frankly, has allowed other folks to work along in his draft."
