This is truly the greatest news we as Americans have heard regarding Iraq since the successful election.

I want to know if we gave him a chance to surrender, did we read him his rights, did we make sure we did not kill those innocents who provided the safehouse, in cold blood like John Murtha said. I would say excessive force was used, 500 pound bomb to kill a piece of shit.

Heard this on my way to work this morning and instantly made me half a happy man. If the Mavs win tonight, I'll be a full happy man.
Go to hell with your 9 virgins, terrorist.

I saw this headline this morning. Fantastic news. Al Qaeda can put up a bold front, but this is a shattering blow to their organization in Iraq.

Democrats Irked Over Zarqawi's Death
Grass-roots Democrats weighing in on several popular liberal Web sites Thursday morning said that they were troubled by reports that al Qaida's top operational terrorist, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, had been killed in a U.S. air strike.
Reacting to the news, one visitor to the Daily Kos complained that using military force to kill Zarqawi "violates everything my America stands for."
"It violates the rule of law and invokes the rule of force in what should be a criminal, not a military, matter."
Another Daily Kos'er was irked because he thought the news would benefit President Bush:
"No doubt Karl Rove will have the sock puppet president acting as if he personally dropped the bomb that killed that jackass," he wrote. "But other than a couple of photo ops of Bush looking cocky, it does nothing because two more tin-plated Zarqawi's will pop up."
A third Kos poster suggested that there was little difference between the top al-Qaida terrorist and the leader of the free world, writing: "Now [that] we are rid of one murderous tyrant - how about the removal of another one - believed hiding in a safe-house at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue?"
Over at the Democratic Underground, reaction to news of Zarqawi's death was also negative:
"Convenient too that this would happen now," complained one DU'er: "Guess we should just all forget about that Haditha mess, the fact that we are approaching 2,500 dead and the fact that our economy is in big trouble."
Another DU poster said that killing the al-Qaida chief really wasn't such a big deal, insisting: "Zarqawi was a fringe group of al-Qaida, and definitely not responsible for the bulk of the insurgency and civil war now occurring in Iraq. Any gains that they hope to receive will be short-lived when reality strikes home."

More Lunacy.
If the far right is looking for someone to deport, why not make the moronic elder Berg deportee #1?
Father of Beheaded Man Feels No Relief Over Zarqawi
By REUTERS
Filed at 7:35 a.m. ET
PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - Michael Berg, whose son Nick was beheaded in Iraq in 2004, said on Thursday he felt no sense of relief at the killing of the al Qaeda in Iraq leader blamed for his son's death.
Asked what would give him satisfaction, Berg, an anti-war activist and candidate for U.S. Congress, said: ``The end of the war and getting rid of George Bush.''
The United States said its aircraft killed Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the insurgent leader who masterminded the death of hundreds in suicide bombings and was blamed for the videotaped beheading of Nick Berg, a U.S. contractor, and other captives.
In a telephone interview from his home in Wilmington, Delaware, the father said: ``I have no sense of relief, just sadness that another human being had to die.''
Berg, who is running as a Green Party candidate, has repeatedly blamed President Bush and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld for his son's death.
Nick Berg's videotaped beheading by hooded captors was posted on the Internet, and the father said he could understand what Zarqawi's family was going through.
``As the poet John Donne said, any man's death diminishes me. It doesn't bring my son back, and this will just bring a new cycle of revenge killings,'' the father said.
Zarqawi's organization took responsibility for the execution of Nick Berg, 26, in May 2004. The video was published with a caption saying: ``Abu Musab al-Zarqawi slaughtering an American.''
When an Islamist Web site showed the video of a man severing Berg's head, the CIA said Zarqawi was probably the one wielding the knife.
The father said he was not convinced that Zarqawi's organization was responsible for his son's killing, as stated by the U.S. government. ``I have been lied to by my own government,'' he said.

Screw political correctness. They should have beheaded him.
And anybody who complains that we abused our power by taking out a terrorist mastermind responsible for several murderers needs their head checked. End of story.

It's difficult not to hate those terrorists.
But don't let those misguided people turn you in someone who relishes in the death of another person.
Rest his soul, and, if you believe in reincarnation, pray that it will return in peace...

Hopefully that piece of shit will meet the virgins that he's murdered and they'll cut off choice bits from him for eternity.

Which election? There's been three there, none of which have meant anything.
Elections are not = to democracy. Hell, Hussein even had elections and we can all agree that wasn't a democracy. Cuba holds elections. That's not a democracy. The Philipines holds elections, again not a democracy and the sorry excuses for elections they, I mean "we", had over there aren't much different as twice now we've disallowed who the people have voted for and put who we want in.
I hope we as Americans get over ourselves quickly.
Also, Zaraqowi is fatter than I thought. Fat and dead.

Sooooo...your contention that a free people voting on their own leaders is the same as hussein holding elections and getting 100% of the votes? You sir, are being an idiot.
