Terror Leader Zarqawi Denies Fight to Death Flip-flop
Cites PLO Leader Yassar Arafat as Role Model
Terrorist leader Al Zarqawi strongly defended his record on fighting to the death today despite critics’ claims that he has recently modified his position to accommodate changing political circumstances.
"I have said the exact same thing from the very beginning", Al Zarqawi claimed. "My position on fighting to the death has not changed once and I have been absolutely consistent. I completely support the idea of fighting to the death as long as it does not involve any risk of injury to me. My personal role model is the late PLO chairman Yassar Arafat who, although he spent an entire lifetime championing fighting to the death, died himself at a very advanced age in a French hospital surrounded by sympathetic toadies. That’s my idea of fighting to the death".
When questioned by reporters over what appeared to be clear changes in his position over the last several months Al Zarqawi claimed he was the victim of misunderstanding. "I never said I would fight to the death", he stated. "What I said is that I would fight until I was a little bit out of breath. The two words sound alike so when my remarks were translated it was understandable that there would be some confusion. I stand by my record, having run from Falluja so fast I was not only a little bit out of breath but was, in fact, completely winded. And I promise my supporters I will keep running at least that fast for the foreseeable future now that the US marines are chasing me."
When asked what effect his rapid departure from the battle of Falluja would have on those who remained behind to fight and die Al Zarqawi was unapologetic. "I have sent a message conveying my enthusiastic support for the terrorists in Falluja in their fight to the death. It is not important that the message was sent from a relatively secure location far from the actual battle, or that I composed the message while relaxing and enjoying a nice hot meal, or even that I received large sacks of cash from sympathetic governments in the region for carrying out my duties which included sending the message. The important thing is that I sent a message. This shows that I have continued to support fighting to the death. People who don’t appreciate the risks I take should know I received a serious paper cut from the message itself." Al Zarqawi then showed reporters the paper cut on his left little finger, covered by a purple heart band-aid.
When it was pointed out that many would interpret fighting to the death to mean actually continuing to fight personally until killed Al Zarqawi responded that the questioner clearly did not understand the meaning of the term as it is used by Islamic terrorists.
