NBC News is reporting President Bush passed up three opportunities in 2002 to bomb a training camp run by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi because Bush feared it would undermine his administration’s case for war against Saddam Hussein. At the time the Jordanian-born Zarqawi was operating in northern Iraq in an area not controlled by Saddam Hussein. Today the Bush administration claims Zarqawi is the most dangerous man in Iraq and has placed a $25 million reward on his head.
