Zarqawi a wienie?

As you can read in this article: US says zooming in on Zarqawi - Yahoo! News:

"[U.S. military spokesman Major-General Rick Lynch] showed brief clips from what he said was an unedited copy of a video Zarqawi released last week, showing the al Qaeda leader wearing American running shoes, struggling to handle a machine gun and handing the weapon to one of his aides, who appears to fumble with it as he grabs the gun's hot muzzle.

In the version Zarqawi posted on the Internet and that aired on television, Zarqawi is seen poring over maps, receiving battle reports and firing bursts from an automatic weapon in a video in which he warned of more attacks.

But at his weekly media briefing, Lynch mocked Zarqawi for wearing sneakers and suggested he was unable to fire a weapon.

'What he didn't show you were the clips that I showed you: wearing New Balance sneakers with his uniform, surrounded by supposedly competent subordinates who grab the hot barrel of a just-fired machine gun, ... a warrior leader, Zarqawi, who doesn't understand how to operate his weapons system."

Wow. I think that's funny - "Hey, Akbar, how do you work this thing?" Zarqawi apparently is more Colonel Klink than an evil military mastermind. Here's hoping this gets the same play as last week's Zarqawi info-mercial. Fat chance.

I'm strangely reminded of John Kerry's posed Vietnam "he-man" films. Did you know he served in Vietnam?
