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.

Now you're contradicting yourself.

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