spence · 06-08-2006, 06:24 AM

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.

BigFish · 06-08-2006, 06:48 AM

Spence speaks with him by phone every other week! I can't wait until they get the Lion and the Tinman too!

One more dead piece of Shiite!

SolOmoN · 06-08-2006, 06:50 AM

oooh ra!

sol...

Karl F · 06-08-2006, 06:53 AM

hmmm.. yeah he's dead, and thats a good thing... but, turned in by one of his own... who gets the 25 million reward

... was he given to the 72 virgins as a fundraiser for his shiite-head ass-ociates?

BigFish · 06-08-2006, 06:55 AM

I don't believe those rewards ever happen.....claiming someone else tipped them off....so much information no one gets the dough!

Raven · 06-08-2006, 06:56 AM

thats a laugh........we set him on fire.....scare crow

ding dong the witch is dead,,,the wicked witch -the witch is dead.

Got him with a tip from Jordanian intelligence, where he had a death sentence pending. Great day for the military. I think something like this clearly helps define the effort and actions of our young troops. I think there will be a number of retailiatory type bombings in the next couple of days, but there is no denying this is a huge 'termination.' I also think that there may have been a couple of bigtime terror players killed as well with Zarqawi. I doubt he was meeting in a barn in the middle of nowhere with his investment advisors.

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.

Al Qaeda already had named a new Amir before Zarqawi was killed.
Probably wont affect the structure of the groups over there much since he'd already fallen from favor and had been replaced.

Good moral booster for those that don't actually pay any attention to real news but thats ok.

JohnR · 06-08-2006, 07:52 AM

Good...

"uffah!!" · 06-08-2006, 08:15 AM

What more can be said??

Skip N · 06-08-2006, 09:25 AM

YES!!! Rot in hell you %$%$%$%$er

fishsmith · 06-08-2006, 09:35 AM

attaboy to all the US armed forces.

This is great news to go along with the USS Cole Deployment, may God bless that crew -

NORFOLK, Va. The USS Cole set sail from Norfolk today on its first deployment to the Middle East since 17 sailors died when terrorists bombed the ship at a port in Yemen nearly six years ago.

Swimmer · 06-08-2006, 10:44 AM

Hid behind women and children while committng murder. In the end he went much nicer than should have been allowed.

He should have died 77 times.

WTF ? did I do.

Im coming up there "heavy" .

The Dad Fisherman · 06-08-2006, 11:05 AM

Good Ridance to him....may all his Virgins be 400 pounders.

Glad to see him go......

Skip N · 06-08-2006, 12:00 PM

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.

spence · 06-08-2006, 12:58 PM

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.

Not at all...In life he could be held accountable for his actions. Death was the easy way out.

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

likwid · 06-08-2006, 01:21 PM

$50 billion more for war also announced today.

sigh.

macojoe · 06-08-2006, 02:04 PM

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!!
