Oh, and Gay Patriot is a blog for patriotic American gays and lesbians, so I wouldn’t assume, by any tortured logic, that those who post here are members of an Iraqi militia, regardless of how they use the first-person plural.

Why, I wouldn’t even assume militia membership of posters at ShiaChat.com, who should be delirious with happiness upon Zark’s demise, given his 3 1/2 years of hideous, bloody attacks against thousands of innocent Iraqi Shiites.

I love how you and lester will give just about anyone a Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free card for reaching responsible commentary and proper conduct in civil discourse IF that person is a victim. Victim, victim… here’s your mike; tell us how you feel. Oh please, oh please.

No, Gramps, politically aggrieved victims have no more right to the public square than any other group… THAT IS precisely where your education on the Democrat Plantation fails you and lester. They told you being a victim and fighting for compensatory relief made your cause more important than others… ergo, gay marriage for all, gays in the military, affirmative action at others’ expense, slavery reparations, stop offshore drilling but pay $3/gal for gas, etc.

No Gramps. You can rail away but it’s still true: Michael Berg dishonors all parents, all Dads by the way he uses his son’s death to grab the microphone. And speaking as a Dad, I know how important that honor is… you, alas, do not.

Oh, and I’m glad you appreciate good English. There’s all sorts of good English being written on this site, every day. By the way, “Coalition” is capitalized because it’s a formal arrangement of willing nations that are doing serious and dangerous and necessary work, and because the Coalition deserves respect as such. I hope “we” can agree on that.

“…it’s almost a Pavlovian response that whatever the United States does, there’s going to be a cadre of pretty sophisticated, elite, leisured people who are protected by other types of people who don’t share their beliefs, and they’re always going to be critical, they’re always going to be cynical, because let’s be honest. It fills some deep, psychological need in these people to hate the very system that created them, and makes life good for them…

“…It’s kind of like rust. You know, it just keeps creeping, and it always has to be dealt with and addressed. [The Administration rightly] thought that by going into Afghanistan and Iraq, that these were facistic regimes, we were going to try and implement democracy, it was a no-brainer that this was a moral, humane idea. And [the Administration wrongly thought] they did not have to respond to these left wing blogs, New York Times, National Public Radio, New Yorker Magazine, Harper’s [who are always critical and cynical]. These were all elites that were in a minority now in this country. And [the Administration] forgot just how influential and pernicious these people can be. And you always have to address them…it’s like scrubbing rust off iron. It has to be done every day, or they take over the dominant conversation.”

And yes, the Left is totally into that.

I’m sorry, but where was the President while the military and intelligence folks tracked down Zarqawi and killed him?

You make it seem like George W. Bush found him and killed him on his own. What, after all, is the link between a warm corpse and George W. Bush?

I just heard Michael Berg being interviewed by Michael Medved. the man is a nutcase….

I’ve never heard of Michael Berg, but you are correct that Michael Medved is a nutcase. He is nothing more than a former/failed/whatever movie reviewer who apparently got himself a gig on right-wing talk radio.

Kind of like Rusty “LameBrain” Limbaugh, except that Lamebrain was a failed sports announcer.

Yes, Zarq’s corpse is not even cold and good ole GPW wants the media to play lapdog.

Rep. Pete Stark seriously agrees with Kos/DU fans that the Zarqawi success was somehow a timed White House political conspiracy. Nuts!

Rep. Kucinich seriously thinks the terrorist murderers in Iraq are a “growing” (not shrinking) “anti-American insurgency”. He can’t bring himself to see what cheap, psychopathic killers they are, nor to side with Iraq’s elected unity government. Sick!!

Sen. Kent Conrad seriously thinks that nailing Zarqawi AND his top staff AND 17 other AQ cells (in the other raids) should be pooh-poohed because they still haven’t gotten bin Laden who today is only a figurehead. Nuts!

The Zarqawi news is good by itself – but in addition, it has been fun today to see just how undeniably, provably d-e-r-a-n-g-e-d some Lefties are.

The tip about Zark’s whereabouts came from people who were close to him. A major victory. We’ll likely be hearing more about that soon.

A new, freely elected Iraqi government has approved a Cabinet. By any measure, that’s a victory for Iraq and for the Coalition. (Assuming, of course, that one approves of representative government.)

Coalition deaths are decreasing monthly. Military reenlistment is meeting targets, and the quality and morale of retained troops is very high. This is huge.

Al Q’aeda is getting the living crap kicked out of them daily. The vast majority of Iraqi territory is stable.

No one did more to murder Iraqis and undermine their efforts at self-government than Zark. He personally selected the UN mission in Baghdad for bombing with military-grade ordnance, which was probably provided by disaffected Ba’athists. He was instrumental in fomenting the sectarian violence that could have erupted into a full-blown civil war; and insofar as it didn’t, he failed. His vicious jihad against the Shiites is finished, and his 3 1/2 years of thuggish brutality in Iraq is over.

Yes, the Iraqis and the Coalition are winning. This is a great day.

Michael Berg dishonors all parents, all Dads with his assinine comments about Bush.

Oh bull@#$%, sorry, but not liking Bush is not the same thing as “dishonoring all parents… etc.” What an overwrought drama queen you are. Are you doing Ann Coutler in drag? Get a better wig.

Speaking of “Bush Derangement Syndrome” a lot of you have a severe case of it. Only you have the symptoms wrong. You can REALLY tell when someone has it when they start slandering wives, parents, etc. of victims of terrorism because they don’t toe the GOP party line.
Equating dislike of Bush with treason… really, what a moral vacuum you must be living in. The guy had to watch and listen to his son having his head slowly sawed off of his body on national TV. When is the last time you went through something as painful as that? Yet the instant anyone dares criticize St. Bush they instantly get vilified as if they were the one doing the beheading instead of the one watching it. As an example of the moral degeneracy of GOP partisans it doesn’t get much clearer than that.
