Major General Rick Lynch thinks that running a blooper reel helps the cause: Outtakes show al-Zarqawi as poor gunman.
Yo, Rick, if al-Zarqawi is such a loser, why haven’t you caught him? Did he just “accidentally” kill dozens of our troops? Who thought showing your enemy as an incompetent would improve your ratings?

Given the psyops campaign, you can’t be sure of anything.
One wonders… is the psyops campaign supposed to discourage and confuse the enemy, or us?
Ask yourself – al Zarqawi is wearing American shoes and carrying an American machine gun that he is not familiar with – where did he get them?
