In other news....

Joseph Goerbbles stated that the death of Adolf Hitler will not lessen the violence in Europe and the influence of the National Socialist Party on the world scene.

ABC (the organization which enabled shooting down American helicopters on the March to Baghdad)
WORSHIPS al-Zarqawi, ABC's hero.

Not once does the terrorist organization ABC used the word
terrorist to describe the murderer directly.

"If Sheik al-Zarqawi has died, he will go to heaven, God willing, and there will be 200 million al-Zarqawis after him" — ominous words from one Islamic extremist Web site posted in an al-Qaeda clearinghouse shortly after the news of al-Zarqawi's death.

Bring it on.

The war on terrorism was supposed to be a bad idea, too. It'll just make them madder, the media cautioned us. BS!! If God is on their side, why are their leaders continually being knocked off? The only way to deal with terrorists is to kill them with maximum force.

It is truly chilling just how much of the media and the world condones psychopathic jihadi behavior. It is truly sick.

ABC and the other MSM are spinning this story in such a way as to be critical of Bush is the predictible direction they will take. The killing of al Zarqawi took away the favorite tool to criticize Bush on the war...."Bush can't even find al Zarqawi or bin Ladin."

Now they must construct an alternate reality, the pathetic bastards.

Hassan Salman, an Iraqi expert from Beirut, Lebanon, said, "I think al-Zarqawi's followers and Islamic groups will increase their violence and attacks following today's events in Iraq and worldwide."

This has got to be one of the truly dumbest comments of all time. What, his followers and Islamic groups were planning on ratcheting it back and taking it easy for a while before this happened? They are ALWAYS trying to increase violence and attacks. ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS.

"If Sheik al-Zarqawi has died, he will go to heaven, God willing, and there will be 200 million al-Zarqawis after him" —

I wonder what ABC expected radical terrorists to say about the death of a top leader, that they are going to lay down their arms and give up?

Leave it to the MSM to put the worst face on a great event that they can.

Now guys, ABC is only looking at all sides of the story. We shouldnt be so critical. They only have our best interest at heart. (PUKE and SARCASM)

Ridding the earth of an evil murderer is always a good thing.. those who look for faults in that endeavor are part of the problem.

The MSM (and DNC, I know, redundant) is terrified that we might just win in Iraq now.

They'll shorten it to "He can't find bin Laden." And once we bump him off, it will become "Killing bin Laden won't do any good."

Never, ever underestimate the predictability of the Left.

Zarqawi was fingered by a member of his own crew. He ain't here no more, so he ain't in any position to do anything about that. So, any "new" boss better not sit with his back to the door, if you know what I mean. Safe house? I don't think any Al Qaida replacement leader wise enough to stay alive is going to trust these "safe houses" anymore. He better stay in the sewers, or way out in the desert. And from out there, you don't get much jihadin' done, I'll betchta.

So al-Zarqawi got whacked and of course he is promised 77 virgins when he enters paradise. Well the big question is what will he do if they are all ugly?

My the killer of civilians rot in hell. Glad he is now taking a long deserved dirt nap....

"If Sheik al-Zarqawi has died, he will go to heaven, God willing, and there will be 200 million al-Zarqawis after him"

It's like the joke about 100 lawyers in a boat at the bottom of the ocean.


Sounds like a good start.LOL

Zarkawi wasn't "killed", he was defeated and aprehended. His tactics and form of fighting made his death the only outcome allowed by him.

Contemplating "more harm than good?" is the only straw of negative thinking that can be drawn by those wishing for no success for out forces.
