Inside scoop from Iraq

Here is some interesting inside information from an officer in Iraq. Below is the one that sticks out for me as the most interesting.
8. Said bin Laden and Zarqawi made a HUGE mistake when bin laden went public with naming Zarqawi the "prince" of al Qaeda in Iraq. Said that what the Iraqis saw and heard was a Saudi telling a Jordanian that his job was to kill Iraqis. HUGE mistake. It was one of the biggest factors in getting Iraqis who were on the "fence" to jump off on the side of the coalition and the new gov't.
First, bin Laden helps Bush on the eve of the American election by releasing a videotape, and then he helps him again on the eve of the Iraqi election by embracing Zarqawi. Maybe he is not so smart after all.
