The longer we're there, the more the Mess in Mesopotamia seems like it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Before the invasion, no Al-Qaeda in Iraq, Saddam and bin Laden hated each other. Now:
The tape describes Zarqawi as the "emir" of al-Qaeda in Iraq and praises the "daring operations" of his group against US troops and Iraqi officials.
"The brothers in the group there must listen to him [Zarqawi] and obey him for what is good," the message says.
Zarqawi's al-Qaeda-linked group has claimed responsibility for many bombings and hostage murders in Iraq, Thanks, Fearless One.
Gee, Thanks to the Wizards of Neoconnery and Fearless Leader, we've given them yet another cause, another highly visible leader and Osama's still bin Forgotten.

Al Qaeda are like the Neocons: Birds of a feather flock together. As the Japanese shepherd said when the bomb fell on Nagasaki "Let's get the flock out of here." As physicists have long known, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
