#5 Actually, when I was in Fallujah, 90% of the residents there said he was a fake and the US used him as an excuse to sack Fallujah. I think this blooper tape might backfire on us, because most Iraqis WOULD grab a hot machine gun barrel and most Iraqis WOULDN'T know how to operate a M249 SAW. When it comes to small arms, they just aren't that bright. The average Joeshit the Ragman in Iraq might relate to this video all too well. Just as most Americans thought the Abu Gharab prison pictures did us harm, I think it was great. Iraqis didn't want you to take them "downtown" to Abu Gharab (aka "The Land of the Naked Pyramids") after those pictures came out. They feared us and where they would go if they didn't cooperate after those pictures were released, and that, my friends, is a good thing.

Bama Marine -- Zarq videos are for recruitment purposes. The message "Look at me (Zarq), I'm ten-feet tall". But with the uncut version, Zarq is 8 inches tall, even in his NB sneakers.

Given Zarq's ego, the bloopers might enbolden him to step out of the shadows in an attempt to revive his image. Long enough the nab the SOB,
