Makes you wonder about their public relations skills

The US has apparently dug up an unedited video of al-Qaeda in Iraq boogie man Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

Assuming Zarqawi really exists, the video is supposed to be embarassing in that it shows him unable to fix his jammed autmatic rifle, and also wearing a pair of New Balance running shoes.

From the AP article:

His fellow fighters and associates appear similarly inept in the newly released footage. One reaches out to grab a just-fired weapon by the barrel, apparently unaware that it would burn his hand. The camera quickly pans to the ground and then away.

"His close associates around him ... do things like grab the hot barrel of the machine gun and burn themselves," (Maj. Gen. Rick) Lynch, (spokesman for the U.S. command) said. "Makes you wonder" about their military skills.

Is Maj. Gen. Lynch a moron, or what?
