Today, the indespensible
Juan Cole posted an announcement by Jihad and Holy War.
According to a post on it's web site, Al Tawhid wal Jihad (led by Al-Zarqawi), has pledged loyalty to Al-Quaeda and Osama Bin Laden. Al-Zarqawi (if he exists) has been an independent operator for many years. Thanks to Dubya, he has seen the advantages of joining a larger coalition.
I suspect this is not what the shrub meant 4 years ago, but he's been successful beyond his worst nightmares. Democrats united, Kosians united, Jihadists united.
