Good News from Iraq the MSM Can’t Ignore — Zarqawi Killed
I returned home Wednesday night from seeing one of the greatest movies of all time on the big screen — Lawrence of Arabia — to learn that U.S. forces killed al-Qaeda’s leader in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Let’s see, our forces kill the terrorist leader of the insurgency. Sounds like we’re winning there.
Even AP acknowledged that this is “a major victory in the U.S.-led war in Iraq and the broader war on terror.” While we have clearly made mistakes — and suffered setbacks, it is clear from those who read sources other than the MSM that we are making slow, but steady progress on both fronts, i.e., Iraq and the broader war on terror.
And now the headlines themselves provide evidence of our success. I learned about the death of this terrorist from AOL’s welcome screen. Yahoo! as well as the websites of The Los Angeles Times, The New York Times and The Washington Post also featured this good news prominently.
Given this success, perhaps critics of the Administration should reconsider their pessimism about the war — and reevaluate their low opinion of the Secretary of Defense.
Kudos, Donald Rumsfeld. You and the brave men and women fighting in Iraq are responsible for this great success and for dispatching a vile criminal who murdered civilians as publicity stunts designed to influence the world media and undermine our war effort.

As I said here:

By the end of the day, the libs will have tried to convince us that this is nothing but sound and fury signifying nothing. After all, Bush is the enemy and the U.S. military is nothing but lying, murdering war criminals anyway.
You can bet that there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth by the GP team killing fucktards and Reinemachefrau Raj will be bending over trying to prove how it was illegal to kill their hero, al-Zarqawi.
Bet on it.

Couldn’t have happened to a less nice fella…
This is great news of course, but the job isn’t done in Iraq. The insurgency needs to be squashed. Anyone want to start taking predictions as to how long before a Democrat is heard whining that Zarqawi’s death was timed for political effect?

He’s been reported killed several times before. I’ll wait for additional verification before I break out the champagne.

re: “You’re Next Osama” too bad the moron running this administration outsourced the effort to find bin laden years, YEARS, ago.
It’s great Zarqawi’s dead, but let’s remember: there was no Abu Mussad al Zarqwi until we invented him by this immoral and illegal war.

#8 - “there was no Abu Mussad al Zarqwi until we invented him by this immoral and illegal war.”
Hey doofus, get a clue. Al-Zarqawi was shown conclusively to be in Iraq around 2002 setting up sleeper cells with the help of Saddam’s administration. That means, dear moronic RIW, that not only was Zarqawi IN Iraq prior to the US-led liberation in March 2003, but ALSO justifies the war effort to remove Saddam and his al-Qaeda cronies from power.
Go back into your hole and whine in despair. Your side is losing. The American side is winning.

And another thing, RIW - your man Slick Willie had at least 7 years to track down OBL since the first WTC bombing in 1993 up through the USS Cole bombing in 2000. Where the f*** was he, besides getting a BJ in the Oval Orifice by a fat intern and p***y whipped by his harpy of a wife??
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
