From the "You Can't Make This Shit Up" file...

Ummmm...this wasn't done TWO FUCKING YEARS AGO???

Glad to see BushCo is serious about this terrorist shit.

U.S. Orders Freeze on Zarqawi Network Assets

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States on Friday ordered a freeze on assets of the militant group led by Jordanian Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, which has claimed responsibility for a series of bombings, kidnappings and beheadings in Iraq.

The Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control added Zarqawi's Tawhid and Jihad group to its list of suspected terrorists and terrorism financiers.

The move, which came a day after Britain ordered banks to seek out and freeze any assets of the group, blocks any accounts, funds and assets of Tawhid and Jihad in the United States.
Well, then, I'm glad they finally got around to that...

Isn't this what Kerry's been saying for months? Isn't this a key component of Kerry's strategy against terrorism? Correct Answer: Yes.

Everytime I think that BushCo has ceased to amaze me with their sheer incompetence, I continue to be amazed. Zarqawi's like Osama. If he didn't exist (and we don't even know for sure that he does), BushCo would have to invent him to achieve their objectives.
