Iraqi PM says so.

It's a good thing, but he was a bit of a straw man

WTF, and I suppose you would consider Goring and Hess straw men too?????? Try telling that to families who have lost loved ones over there.

I think you're missing the point.

He was a bad guy, helped to kill our troops and for that I'm glad he's in little pieces.

But while his involvement in Iraqi violence in reality has been pretty small, it's been portrayed as the major source of instability to distract the media from the real issue of sectarian violence.

Not to mention how before the war Zarqawi was used as evidence of a Saddam/al Qaida collaboration which was a bogus claim...

Great, he's dead and it's a nagging mission we can check off the list...but the notion that this is a game changing event isn't supported by the facts as have been reported by our own military.

And to think, if we had listened to Murtha and the other people who wanted us to pull out of Iraq ASAP, Zarqawi would still be around cutting peoples heads off. Glad we didnt listen to them and stayed the course. I hope some of Zarqwis buddys are still in the rumble dying a nice slow painful death.

Hope ya like those fat ass virgins in hell you prick

Actually Skippy, under Murtha's plan things wouldn't have been much different. Murtha never advocated ceasing all military activity, just pulling the primary troop positions back.

We would have still been able to leverage intel to drop bombs and use special forces to monitor terrorist positions.

And then Michael Berg speaks up.

O'BRIEN: No, no. And we have spoken before, and I'm well aware of that. But at some point, one would think, is there a moment when you say, 'I'm glad he's dead, the man who killed my son'?

BERG: No. How can a human being be glad that another human being is dead?


I'd have to agree with him.

I'll give Berg a pass as it must be incredibly difficult to bear the weight of your child being beheaded and the entire world watching via broadband streaming video.

That being said, I'm not glad he's dead as much as glad he can't behead anyone anymore.

Chances are he had zero knowledge of his demise. I'd rather see a more fitting punishment.

If we had listened to Murtha, the slap on the ass of government months back would still be reverberating it's way to the pointy end of the stick. It has taken us a long time to dig ourselves as deep as we are it will take a long time to correct (if ever) regardless of which way we go...

I hope he found 77 Virginians

Well Iam glad he is gone!!

But at what cost?? I mean we started a war with Iraq and made everyone think it had to do with 9/11

after 3 years trillion's of dollars nearly 3000 US soldiers we got one in the list of many!!

Just think if we did go to war for nothing took all them resources and just wiped out Bin laden and his crew, we be way ahead of the game!

But now after this joker is gone we will just keep losing more young men, and wasteing more money on a war that no one will really win!

All so a little beady eyed pointed nose miget prick can add his name to hstory!!

Spence and likwid,
While i respect your right to your opinions, which is one of the beauties of our system of democracy, I am dismayed with your focus upon the political viewpoint. You want a dose of reality? you can come fish a day or night with some personal friends of mine who have been on the ground 'in theater', some who are members of the one four five. I promise they'll respect your right to a point of view, but they'll tell it like it is. We (include me) have no idea what is real over there. I would be willing to bet that you would be rethinking some of your posts after meeting them.....
My support is 100% behind those who are on the ground, at risk, for you and me. I will not participate online in a media nor political discussion.

I think you're reading too much into my posts without knowing anything about me

Can't speak for Likwid, don't know him.

Putting the Zarqawi death in context isn't in any way diminishing the efforts of our troops. That's just the same bull%$%$%$%$ logic that says any critisim of the President is against the troops and their mission.

I know all I can know, and I form my opinions on that base. I'm not some liberal crackpot, hell, I'm even making my stepson read Nathan Fick's book so he can understand what it means to be a Marine.

My support and utter respect for our troops is precisely the reason I get so ticked when they are seemingly shown such contempt by the civilian leadership who order them into combat in a reckless manner.

What CIVILIAN Leadership are you referring to??? Obviously you are not referring to the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces. So who exactly are you referring to ?
I am VERY confused. S-plain it to me !

"I'm not prepared to lay out a detailed policy or strategy," "It's not something you can expect in a situation that is moving this fast and has the level of detail you're looking for."

Riddle me this , Who said these words?
Hint, this guy would have been a TOP POLICYMAKER if KERRY won the election.
Point is, what alternative plans are the Dems offering this year in 2006 ?

I wouldn't go that far. Zarqawi had a good ability to manipulate the media and the balls to do things that would make even fanatics blush.

It could really go either way...better or worse.

You'd probably invite Osama to the White House for tea if you were president.
