Now that the military, under the command of George Bush, killed him, it turns out that he wasn't even hardly dangerous at all.

Unsigned for a good reason, being utterly beneath contempt.

U.S. Propaganda to blame?

Sure, I can believe that. The U.S. MSM frequently cited Zarqawi as a near mythical figure that couldn't be defeated.

The U.S. military and the Bush administration has kept on saying that they were going to get him eventually.

So if Zarqawi was promoted as some kind of mythical hero for the terrorists, it wasn't the Bush administration, or the Republicans, or the conservatives... It was the journalists who are all deeply saddened at the demise of their favorite boogie man.

US propaganda? MessNBC would know propaganda. They're masters of it. This is just another pathetic attempt by the wholly owned subsidiary of the Democratic party, MessNBC, to try to make the killing of Zarqawi into nothing worth getting excited about as well as trying to further the myth that most of the worst violence in Iraq is carried out by Iraqis "resisting the US occupation," and not foreign AL Qaeda trash like Zarqawi. They want so much for this to be a fight of Iraqis against America, rather than what it is America AND Iraqis against foreign terrorist invaders and a few Saddam dead-enders determined to bring back the bad old days. Who wrote this piece? Chrissy Boy and Keith Untermann?

U.S. propaganda helped his image.

I suggest this line as the understatement of the year.....

"For Al-Zarqawi, myth was bigger than the man"

Now they tell us this BS.
Hey MSNBC, you would have had some modicum of credibility if you written this article yesterday.
Today, I simply take as normal drive-by media attempts to play down a magnificent accomplishment by our soldiers, as part of the usual hate-Bush agenda.

He was just a psychopath thug who enjoyed killing. Zarqawi was a coward. He didn't go to his death bravely; we found his lair and snuffed him out along with his fellow terrorist leaders. The Drive By Media's party line is pure Barbara Streisand; what happened today was an act of poetic justice. It knocked the stuffing out of the Al Qaeda "legend."

The man was a maniac and a murderer. Even in the last few days. See:

Zark's followers are celebrating his death, saying that his martyrdom is a happy and festive event. They say that such death is the best achievement, and they long for it.

I guess they will be happiest when all of them are dead.

And to think I didn't believe it possible to agree with these people about anything....

Liberal media is already testing out liberal talking points to see how they can turn the good news into bad news.

When I heard he was dead the first thing that came to mind was whether they got him in California.

We had elections the other day and Democrats had tried to get illegals to vote for Democrats saying they didn't need any papers to vote.

One year ago: "Why in hell can't George Bush kill Zarqawi? He's as dangerous as bin Laden."

Today: "Why did you kill Zarqawi? He was a marginal figure."

So now, the detestable anti-American pigs at MSNBC are tyring to convince us that Zarqawi was no big deal.

Before his death - BIG DEAL

After his death - NO BIG DEAL

These liberals are a disgrace. It's no wonder they lose.

I wonder if our troops realize how their accomplishments are being diminshed by the MSM and the Democrats. I wonder if they think, as I do, that these people do not deserve the protection the military provides them.

For Kerry, myth was bigger than the man- Brutal campaign tactics & GOP propaganda helped his image

Washington - Taunting President Bush during a videotaped campaign speech, John Kerry boasted that the Democratic party he commanded “love taxes just like you love life.”

“Killing the unborn their is best wish,” the insurgent leader said, drawing his hanky to wipe spittle from his lip. “Getting to your money is implementing the orders of our doctrine.”

By the time he was defeated in Tuesday's election, Kerry was more powerful as a myth than as a man.

Bush's political strategists sometimes found it convenient to feed the Kerry myth in order to promote the notion that yes, this is the best the Democrats could do. Most experts believe his supporters make up only a fraction of the left, but the GOP portrayed Kerry as its most dangerous socialist foe. The $25 million spent in campaign commercials in Ohio and Florida matched the warchest of Senator has-bin-Clinton.

The pinheads at MSN whine 24/7 that we have never nabbed their boy bin Laden. When we do finally find his corpse, expect this same kind of reaction from these morons. MSN IS A BUNCH OF LOSERS.

"...cutting the heads of the criminal infidels is implementing the orders of our Lord.”

And some people still accept the claim that Allah and the God of the Bible are one-in-the-same, just because Muslims say he is.

And I guess they still wait for Santa to come down the chimney on Christmas eve, too.
