Bin Laden's sidekick had a name very similar to al-Zarqawi's.

Think about it. (I am embarrassed to say that I cannot remember the sidekick's name, but he was a medical doctor if memory serves...)

Can anybody help me with this?

1. Ayman Al-Zawahiri

He's Egyptian.

I don't think I'd characterize him as a 'sidekick', either. He's more like a Cheney to bin Laden's Bush.

2. Ha! Good analogy

al-Zawahiri is one of the original radical jihadists from Egypt's "Brotherhood". So, I guess you'd consider him 'old school', just as Cheney is.

3. YES!

Al-Zawahiri. So that would make him...from the land of Zawahir? Or something similar? What is his real name?

My point though is that these names (and I'm no illiterate) are not familiar to Americans; they're easily manipulated, politically, for that reason.

Thanks for the clarification re Cheney/Bush and Zawahiri/Bin Laden.
