"Al-Zarqawi an American creation"--Nir Rosen interview on CNN
this journalist is on saying that because the US was hellbent on making the insurgency out to be a foreign led effort, that they blamed everything on Al-Zarqawi, who was less important in reality that he was made out to be. This man says that Al-Zaqawi was more of a symbol.

And he's not just the US's creation. The Sunni insurgent groups used him too...blaming him for attacks they executed against Shi'ah muslims as a way to keep their hands clean.
