Taking out Zarqawi was a feel good thing. But, it changed nothing on the ground in Western Iraq because we didn't put in large numbers of troops to Anbar to finally deal with al-Qaeda in Iraq.
With Zarqawi's death we also lost the number one political tool to convince the US public we are fighting terrorists in Iraq. After Zarqawi died the US public with help from the DNC and the MSM became convinced it is a civil war in Iraq and we have no reason to be there.

As with any war, thousands of decisions will be debated from now until eternity, (just watch the History Channel).
But, the overall message from Americans will be surrender.
Because we have been conditioned by the MSM worldwide, for the last 30 yrs, that the Islamic Cults are victorious when they blow up civilians in the marketplace.
These Islamic Cults have been roaming the globe for decades, murdering innocents with impunity. And being painted as victims, oppressed, or having some rational for doing so. The US and Israel are the bad guys.
Its blackmail, and the MSM willingly participate in OBL's propaganda.
