Perhaps you have seen the recent unedited video of Zarqawi incorrectly using an American machine gun while wearing New Balance shoes. The Pentagon has released it to make him look inept.
But doesn't it have the opposite effect? If the guy is such an idiot, and it seems he is, why haven't we caught him yet and why haven't we crushed the rebellion (I just thought of Darth Vader when I wrote that)?

There's a line from Saving Private Ryan: "It's like looking for a needle in a stack of needles."
I haven't seen this video - though I have, unfortunately, seen some of the others in his canon - but it would seem the goal is to make him look mortal, small, even foolish.
When you're wielding a knife and carrying out the most heinous acts of violence possible, it's easy to seem all powerful and deathly frightening. Now, he looks just like another schmuck with an assault rifle.
In any case, I wish the DoD well.
