DUBAI, May 11 (Reuters) - An Islamist Web site said Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, an ally of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, was the man who cut off the head of an American in Iraq in a video tape shown on the site on Tuesday.

A masked man had read out a statement before the killing which was signed off with the name of Zarqawi and dated May 11.

I'd love to nuke the b*st*rds!

Well, this will settle the question of how many legs he has.

Notice that the cowards on their side are ashamed to show their own faces.

Every Islamist radical who is taken prisoner while attacking our peole should be treated likewise. If'n I had my druthers these pr**ks would be completely extinct in twelve months.

[Agnes Heep]

Thanks, leftist media. Thanks, Democrats.

[Redcoat LI]

Who's going to be the first RAT to say this is Bushs' fault?

[inkling]

Good thing they didn't make the American wear a dog collar! Then Ted Kennedy would have been REALLY mad.

Here's a longer article on it. This says it isn't clear whether Zaqawari actually did the beheading.

Now I suppose the US will fold up its cards and call it a day, just like Spain did. To listen to the Dems wet themselves over our "guilt", there is no reason reason to believe this tactic should not work....again.

Thank you CBS!

I can already hear Dan Rather on the See BS Nightly Report now .....

"Good evening. American Nick Berg was beheaded today in Iraq by Iraqi leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. This comes as terrible news for the Bush administration, who is already suffering the backlash after recent reports of horrible treatment on innocent Iraqis. Democrats in Congress are calling for a Congressional investigation on the matter ....."

Or something like that.

THE MEDIA did the beheading by showing those prisoner "abuse" photos.

This also relativises and minimizes the Perl murder and other beheadings to come.

This nation will be cursed if it does not hold the media accountable.

an American

His name is Nick Berg, 26 years old, from West Chester, PA and was a self-employed civilian contractor.

[JennysCool]

Just another example of John Kerry's "overrated threat" at work.

[AngieGOP]

Good thing they didnt make the American... Ted Kennedy wouldn't be angry. He doesn't give a damn about Americans civilians or service people. He is a big blowhard. There isn't a pair of women's underwear big enough to cover his ugly face.

[NCPAC]

As would I. Please,...please let me push the button!

I'm beginning to get the feeling that if GWB does lose this election, it's not going to be due to the fact that he's doing "too much" or "mishandling" the war - it's going to be due to the fact that he's not doing enough, that his actions are not decisive and lethal enough to suit most Americans.

Kill them. All of them.

And so it begins.

This will be blamed on Rummy, as if they haven't released beheading video of westerners before the prison flap.

But it has emboldened them, because the world media is on their side.

[JamesA]

This is tragic my hope is Mr. Berg's life and the many others do not go unavenged. It is my deepest hope and prayer that this awakens America, "Its ours to lose."

[Sunshine Sister]

I just can't wait for those jerks in congress to say this is the result of the "torture" in the prison.
