A ZARQAWI NARRATIVE -

From an account by As'ad AbuKhalil in The People's Republic of Berkeley comes this purported glimpse into the mind of Zarqawi, but, alas, the blogger doesn't give a source attribution or cite a hyperlink:

...And after the last statement by his former comrade, Abu Muhammad Al-Maqdisi, who reminded him that he was not trained in religious sciences, Zarqawi has a complex now... He compares his gang to the movement by Muhammad against the pagans. And then he reports a few "miracles" from the battle of Fallujah: about his fighters coming across a watermelon that is so red (and out of season - he tells you); about a fighter coming across a house with containers of cold water "oddly lined up next to one another;" and about a fighter whose brains were blown up with gunfire, but the pieces were then collected together by his comrades, and then he recovered fully. He is trying to imply that God was helping his movement. But could not God's help have been more helpful? And then he cites a poem, which looks like his composition...

+Very lightly edited.
