Some Democrats, breaking ranks from their leadership, today said the death of terrorist leader Abu Musab Zarqawi in Iraq was a stunt to divert attention from an unpopular and hopeless war.

"This is just to cover Bush's [rear] so he doesn't have to answer" for Iraqi civilians being killed by the U.S. military and his own sagging poll numbers, said Rep. Pete Stark, California Democrat. "Iraq is still a mess -- get out."

Who is more insane? Zarqawi or America's Democrats?

Seriously, he sounds like he could be reading al Qaeda's website message out loud.

He is NOT on America's side in this war, or any other.

[in hoc signo vinces]

Only democrats use the term "hopeless" in regard to Iraq...let's continue to marginalize this lot of factless cowards.

[michaelt]

Since I already had no respect for that little shi* Fortney Stark, his comment doesn't change my opinion of him.

[mainepatsfan]

The DNC was really hoping the war on terror wouldn't be on the agenda this November.

[LibSnubber]

And they wonder why they keep losing elections?

You can't fix stupid.

[TommyDale]

Democrats call Zarqawi killing a stunt BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! The Democrats must have spent the entire day thinking of that, while they changed their underwear!

[coconutt2000]

Ah, yes... Democratic Party implodes on news of Zarqawi's death.

[pleikumud]

The Democrats want Bush to fail in Iraq, so they are naturally disappointed that their allies, the terrorists, are being killed.

[Cinnamon]

dang.. I seriously have no idea.. LMAO

[Dog]

And now the Kook wing paints their leadership into a corner.

[Iscool]

Now that's funny...I don't care who ya are...

[usmcobra]

Gee whiz democrats, it's not like we haven't been trying to kill him all along.

[Yo-Yo]

I told Rove to hold off on the Zarqawi bombing until late October.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Unfreaking real. I always thought Democrats were lower than the debris on Hell's basement floor, but I'd never thought they'd do this.

[Michael.SF.]

The more that America really sees what is in the heart of Democrats, the more they will continue to turn away from the democratic party. Honorable Democrats like, Truman, Humphrey. Lieberman to name three have got to be sickened by traitorous people like Fortney Stark.

[MarineDad]

Damned fine stunt, then!

I'd love to see many more of the same!

[bombthrower]

I'm kinda surprised the Bush administration hasn't been keeping this dude in hiding only to be brought out right before the November elections. The fact that they killed him is bad politics, isn't it? These Rats cease to amaze me. Be happy once in awhile. Your sour mood is bringing down the whole country.

[Cap Huff]

The question is, where does the kook wing begin and where does it end?

Stark - "Irag is still a mess - get out!"

Remember that prof who recently wrote an article claiming that Bush - in saying that "some people" want immediate withdrawal from Iraq - was setting up non-existent "straw men" to contrast to his "realistic" position? That prof claimed that no one in the political mainstream was demanding an immediate withdrawal from Iraq. Well, Stark shows the prof is wrong, and Stark isn't the only example.
