Al- Zarqawi DEAD

Excellent.

Nice Berg is finally avenged.

Owned.

Just watched Bush's speech.  I swear - sometimes I wonder if his speechwriters even read their own stuff.

Bush's signoff:  May God bless the people of Iraq, and may God continue to bless America.

Now, if you read that slowly, it would imply...

Every time Bush speaks now, I have to bite my tongue not to blurt out "God bless America - and nowhere else".

On subject - great news obviously, for a variety of reasons, and Al-Zarqawi was obviously a great catch and a serious VIP.  But I note that Al-Zarqawi got promoted again.  Just a week or two ago we were reading that Al-Zarqawi had been fired and was no longer running Al-Qaeda in Iraq, but this morning he was once again in charge.  But whatever.  Kudos to all involved and yay for us.

it would only get worse if he went through with a carlin joke.. May God bless us right in the mouth.

Definatly a good thing to wake up to.

Although he actually has remained head of Al-Queda in Iraq, he's been really bad for PR, so every effort has been made to downplay him as of late. That organization has been trying to put an Iraqi face on the insurgency.

Still glad to see him dead.

Seven of his "associates" were also killed. How guilty they were we'll never know since they won't get a trail, but I guess that's what happens when you hang with the wrong crowd.

no innocents were killed since everyone over there is a terrorist..

My stance on if any innocents died is this.

If they were in the building, they are guilty by association. They arent really "innocent" then, unless it's like a baby or w/e. But no babies or kids were in the building from what's being reported.

If there were innocents in there... most people would consider it acceptable collateral damage.

If youre at a crack house during a take down.. you're guilty.


Xeno... this morning AQ in Iraq posted something on their website saying he was dead... but no one was named as successor. They are scared becuase we said we will take out ANYONE that replaces him without hesitation.

Let me rephrase.

If youre at a crack house when it's raided, you are arrested.

From then on, it's up to the DA to determine if they want to press charges on you or not.

THAT is how it works.

You understood what I meant.


Anywho... the military is not the police. The police is a life saving, law enforcing organazation. They dont have to deal with fanatical terrorist every day.

We weren't going to send in a group of Iraqi police or our own troops into the house just so they could be shot at and quite possibly inured or killed.
