Good, question is how the world reacts to killing a "palestinian" Hamas leader, and why the double standard?

"He has fulfilled the Dawa and obtained martyrdom," said Marwan Shahadeh, a researcher at the Vision Institute. "Since Zarqawi was hurt in 2005, he was trying to institutionalise his group so that if he gets killed the group will not be affected and so he has succeeded in doing so."

What is the Vision Institute? Sounds to me like this Marwan character is either just spouting off or is an insider in Zarqawi's network.

Zarqawi IS a Palestinian. However if he were billed that way, instead of as the 'PC to hate' Al Qaeda, the world might have to face the fact that Palestinian jihad is global jihad and part and parcel of the Islamic movement which must be wiped out not funded.

"Zarqawi was born Ahmed al-Khalayleh to a Palestinian-Jordanian family in 1966"

Sounds also like an infected with the appeasement virus, like CNN has called Zarqawi ONLY "Chief insurgent", oh no!, words: terrorist or terror is not in style...

It makes sense what you said, but the lefty and (most of the mainstream media (besides FOX etc.), it is almost the same, would not have the same jubilation headlines once Israel successfully eliminates a Hamas butcher.

But our government did not condemn the Israeli killing of Rantisi and Yassin the way Blair and Straw in the UK did.

If the US policy on targeted assassination was what it is today, Bin Laden would have been dead before 9/11.
