Christians rejoice when Satan and his minions are defeated, because of the terrible evil and suffering they cause to many innocent people during their sojourn on earth.
As Christ once said about those who would harm children, "better they should have a millstone put around their neck and thrown into the sea."
Sayanara, scumbag Zarq.
*yawn*
Unbelieveable, this guys either lost it, or he's a damn coward.

Somewhere on FR someone posted they thought he may feel guilt at sending or encouraging Nick to go to Iraq for business. To assuage his own quilt feelings he blames President Bush.....of course.

Israeli air strike kills Gaza security chief
GAZA (Reuters) - A senior Palestinian security official in the Hamas government was killed on Thursday in an Israeli aerial attack on a militant camp in the southern Gaza Strip, witnesses and medics said.
They said Jamal Abu Samhadana, also a veteran of the Popular Resistance Committees militant group, was among four people killed in a PRC-run camp near Khan Younis.
An Israeli military spokeswoman confirmed the strike, but said it targeted the camp rather than any specific militant.
Hamas appointed Abu Samhadana as supervisor over the Interior Ministry, which oversees security services, in April. The move angered Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who has been trying to salvage peacemaking with Israel since Hamas crushed his long-dominant Fatah faction in January elections.
The PRC is a coalition of militant groups that have spearheaded a more than 5-year-old Palestinian uprising. Since Israel quit Gaza last year after 38 years of occupation, it has played a leading role in cross-border rocket launches.
The PRC vowed fresh attacks on Israel to avenge Abu Samhadana's death.
"The Zionist entity and Zionist settlements near Gaza will not feel security and safety anymore. Our rockets will rain into the Zionist entity and our heroes will blow themselves up among their dirty bodies," said a spokesman for the group.
Thank you! I think I'll be here later tonight. :)
Of all the day, not to be here! Good Lord Almighty, I love your tagline.
Democratic Underground is deeply saddened.
Palestinians carry the body of the Hamas government's security chief and leader of the Popular Resistence Committees, Jamal Abu Samhadana, 45, after he was killed by an Israeli airstrike late Thursday June 8, 2006. An Israeli air strike Thursday killed Samhadana, members of the group and Palestinian hospital officials said. Abu Samhadana was a key player in rocket attacks on Israel and a suspect in the fatal 2003 bombing of a U.S. convoy in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli military confirmed striking the Popular Resistance Committees camp in the southern Gaza town of Rafah, saying militants there were planning a large-scale attack on Israel. Three other people were killed and 10 were wounded by the four missiles fired at the training camp.(AP Photo/Khalil Hamra)
I really don't understand the lefties whining about this guy dying. One second they say that Bush created him in the first place by invading Iraq. The next second, they say Bush could have killed him in 2002, BEFORE THE IRAQ WAR. These two things contradict each other.
Why do you want to lower American to their level?

I think this is a man how has no remorse only for being a liberal. Makes you sick. I heard on Sean Hannity today some woman saying that we should be ashamed for celebrating the death of Zarqawi.
Are these people Carzy!!!!
