Al-Zarqawi: Bombers didn't target wedding

Whoops!

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, leader of the terrorist organization Al-Qaeda in Iraq and now doing the ol' backpedal, has released an audiotape. No singing here though. The audiotape claimed the group had not meant to blow up Muslims in their deadly bomb attacks in Jordan.
If I walk into a MacDonalds and open fire with a machine gun, kill nine or ten people and then claim I wasn't trying to hurt anyone I was just aiming for the fries, how many people are going to buy that bullshit.

Zarqawi defended the suicide blasts on three hotels saying al Qaeda had inside information that they were used by U.S., Israeli and Jordanian intelligence agencies. "We ask God to have mercy on the Muslims, who we did not intend to target, even if they were in hotels which are centers of immorality," the voice on the tape said.
See, he's still trying to justify his actions. Apparently, along with no alcohol, no nudity, no anything worth living for really, Islamic extremists believe Muslims should not go to hotels.

"The idea that they blew up inside wedding ceremonies is a lie by the Jordanian regime ... the target was a meeting of intelligence agencies, but a roof collapsed on a wedding party from the blast," he said. Yeah and Lee Harvey was aiming for the tires.

In a surprise action, Jordanians took the streets in protest. What were they protesting? First thing that comes to mind is Israel but not this time. America? No, that protest is tomorrow. This time they were protesting Al-Qaeda and Jordan-native Mr. Zarqawi himself. With signs that read 'Death to Zarqawi' and 'Burn in Hell Zarqawi' and 'Love the blog Mad Man', Jordanians finally turned their attention to the real enemy, ironically, another Jordanian.

Looks like al-Zarqawi is going to have to rethink his strategy. Uniting the Muslim world by blowing it up just isn't working.
