Iraqi people are celebrating the death of Zarqawi while the drive by media are holding funerals on their channels
"They aaahh *hic* killed Zarqawi? Ahhh *hic*...I`m having aaah *hic* chest pains *hic*.."
Catch the editor's reference to lefty conspiracy theorists??
"Our sympathies also go out to all the conspiracy theorists, who said that Al-Zarqawi was a fictional character created by the Americans, to justify their shortcomings in Iraq at the expense of innocent Iraqi and Jordanian lives."
"Zarqawi...T-they killed h-him. I-I- am *sob*.."
I've got to hand it to them - that's some grade-A sarcasm.
OK now lets go to the phones. Line 3 is Abdul from Amman. Go ahead Abdul you're on live with Jihad Today.
Thanks for taking my call. Longtime listener, first time caller:
" I value this channel. However, I hope you commit yourselves to objectivity. The Iraqi people are celebrating the death of Zarqawi while you are holding a funeral in your channel...."
OK thanks Abdul everyone is entitled to their opinion but we have to go to a commercial break.
In the next hour: we'll talk about the amazing childhood of Brother Zarqawi (peace be upon him)....
LOL. Sound too plausible, guess we've all been listening to the Drive-By-Media too much.
Dear Al Jazeera, is it true that Zarquai had "relations" with a pig 52 minutes before he died?
Go, Asharq Al-Awsat!
In the end it will be the Muslims themselves who will determine the fate of the world in first half of the 21st Century. They must reject the barbarians, apocalyptics, fascists, and tribalists in their midst.
Asharq Al-Awsat looks like a voice of reason in the Islamic world.
....as well as hear tributes from John Murtha, Cindy Sheehan, Ted Kennedy, Dennis Kucinich, John Kerry, Howard Dean, Maureen Dowd, John Conyers, Fortnoy Stark, Al Gore, Helen Thomas....etc, etc.
Ping.
