For Christendom's sake we'll take our revenge on the pagans from out of the east. We Christens are coming with swords held on high, United by Faith and the Cause. The Saracen Heathen will soon traste our STEEL. Our Standard will rise across the Land. Fight the Good Fight believe what is Right, Crusader the Lord of the Realm.

Woohoo!!!!!!

Good morning.
"It is indeed a good morning!"

It's certainly working out well, isn't it.

Reading what the DU and Kos kids are saying is almost as entertaining a the news of Z-man's demise.

A lot of stuff going down. One can only hope we're on the tail of Usama and Omar. Usama knows he has to change his base operation. He'll be on the move. X X = crossing my fingers!!

One of the most cogent posts I've read in some time. Well spoken.

How long before we hear about torture to get the intel on where he was. I imagine the Iraqi army doesn't use panties or cigarette girl to get the information?? They have ways of getting the infomation!

I wonder if another important message will come out of this: If you allow a terrorist to use your house as a safe-house, you and your family may end up dead.

This is REALLY a "SHOT-IN-THE-ARM" for our men and women in Iraq and ALL who are supporting them :) :)

Oday and Qusay welcome Zarqawi to his eternal reward:

****

That is just too funny. Thanks!

[txhurl]

LOL!

[stbdside]

So I guess it's official. Great news. Time to have a cold one.

[Merlinator]

No, YOU are a joke. Take your whiny liberal ass over to the DU. Tell those in the armed forces protecting us and fighting to keep Iraq out of the control of islamofacists that what they are dying for is a joke, that it's "putsy"...tell it to their loved ones. Just go back in your little cocoon and pretend that radical islam doesn't want to destroy the west. Just pretend that losing Iraq to them will not further destabilize the Middle East. Attitudes such as yours is fodder for the enemy and a slap in the face to our fighting men and women.

Have we heard the talking points from the Al-Quedacrats yet??

Already NPR and others have rushed to point out that this doesn't change anything; that there was another bombing in Baghdad today; that Zarqawi was just a symbol...

Well, yes, Zarqawi was just a symbol - just as the American flag is just a symbol.

But no army likes it when their flag is captured - and we just captured their flag.


I think that this will go a long way towards reinforcing terrorists that death and defeat is inevitable. The U.S. WILL win in the end.

Any good parties going on over there tonight?
