So Who is Zarqawi's Speechwriter?

According to the Edward Wong in the New York Times:

"Those rumors dovetailed with two incendiary Internet audio recordings from Mr. Zarqawi. In the second one, which appeared Sunday, Mr. Zarqawi said his forces 'have declared an all-out war on this evil principle of democracy and those who follow this wrong ideology.' He renewed a call for insurgents to attack the electoral process."

As Maura Liasson said on Fox News, Zarqawi's agrees precisely with George W. Bush about what it is that this war is about (although he is on the other side). "It's almost as if Bush were writing Zarqawi's speeches."

Funny, that.
