ZARQAWI UNCREATED
Extracts from Robert Fisk’s famously stupid commentary on Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, broadcast in April:
The issue really is, I think, is this a person who is seriously an enemy of the “West” or is this just another person who is popping up on our screens to say this is the latest mad lunatic, the latest fanatic, the latest terrorist whom we have to be concerned about? That is the real issue, you see.
Later, of course, Robert decided that we should be concerned:
I think these people are bad guys. OK, they are. There’s no doubt about it. They are bad guys.
Robert continued refining his “issue” theme:
You know, the issue is, are we in fact creating these creatures for ourselves to hate or are they creating themselves?
Later:
They want to create themselves and we help them create themselves. We help them do that. We help them do that.
In fact, coalition forces have helped do exactly the opposite.
