Get Zarqawi!

Jane Harman just got back from a trip to iraq. she has a 4 point plan:
1. Get the power on.
2. Get the oil out.
3. Get the government ministries going.
4. Get Zarqawi. If there's one area where I was impressed, it is how many resources are devoted to catching Abu Musab al Zarqawi. He's beginning to make tactical mistakes like the savage murders of Shia school teachers, which played very badly inside the country. Getting Zarqawi would be a major blow to the insurgency. Although capturing Abu Azzam (a key Zarqawi deputy) was a major feat, one Western intel official confided, "there are dozens of number twos, but only one Zarqawi."
I hope Harman hasnt forgotten that the americans spent $1.2bn looking for WMD that they knew didnt exist. (with our newly-freed-friend judy miller dragging metalpha around the desert)
