U.S. uses the magic mantra 'Zarqawi' to justify failures

There seems to be no end to the flow of reports on al-Zarqawi. This legendary rebel has now come to haunt the Americans the way Saddam Hussein did before his overthrow two years ago.

For many Iraqis the name ?Saddam Hussein? has been replaced by ?Zarqawi?. The only difference is that while they could easily verify the footage, the speeches and sound bites of the former, many of them believe the latter is the product of the U.S. propaganda machine.
