BEAKING NEWS! Abu Musab al-Zarqawi Killed in U.S. Air Strike

[birdgirl73]

Thanks for the links, Bud. I enjoyed that Good News from Iraq link a lot. I know there's plenty of it, and it's true that generally "what bleeds leads" in the news, so we don't hear enough of it.

Hmm...could this be what hit the Pentagon?? Anyone....anyone??? This could be a vital clue. I heard reports that what hit the pentagon LOOKED LIKE a plane, but the damage done to the pentagon was not caused by a plane so that definately entails some kind of conspiracy theory now. i think i have an idea what is going on. look for the iran war this july probably and don't be surprised if you see a lot of fundemental Christian churches saying "the end is coming. get with Jesus!" and having politics in bed with religion severely.

LOL...that is made out a light weight aluminum.....there is no way the explosion would have penetrated that far into the pentagon....but nice try!

Have a good one!:thumbsup:

I'm liberal and I'm not frustrated at all by al-Zarqawi's death. I say good riddance to anyone who uses terrorism as a means to an end.

I am, however, a little concerned by the Pentagon showing videos of the bombing and images of his dead body. I understand that certain people must be given direct evidence of his death. But I also know that this is exactly the kind of thing that will aid other terrorist leaders in escalating attacks and recruiting more members.

And for clarification: No, I do not wish to see an escalation in the frequency of terrorist attacks or an increase in members of the insurgency. I feel like I have to say that because many people on the other side of the aisle view critical comments as support for the enemy. Hence my "ignorant" comment earlier.



And come on, man. Did you even read the article? It was al-Zarqawi's older brother who said he was now a martyr, not al-Jazeera. I'm not one to defend al-Jazeera's journalistic integrity, but I will call bullshit when someone is trying to mislead.

Howdy bhallg2k,

Well I'm happy to hear,that zarqawi's death,doesn't frustrate you and that you don't support terrorism,as a means to an end..that's very encouraging to hear

Would you do me a favor and take a poll of yer liberal friends and see if any of them are frustrated over zarqawi's death ? It's pretty much a given,that the liberal MSM,is very reluctant to report any good news from Iraq,for fear that Bush will look better..and to a lesser degree,that our soldiers will look better.

It's just that when I hear a far-left nutcase,like prof. ward churchhill,declare that the victims of 9/11/01,were all "little eichmanns" that deserved to die..that I start to think such "ignorant" thoughts..if I'm wrong-then I'd like to know better..as I don't want to be "ignorant".

Have a good one ! :stoned:

Howdy Torog,

You've probably already read this but I thought I'd post it anyways for ya:

The Washington Times reports Rep. Jim McDermott (D-WA) said: "This insurgency is such a confused mess that one person, dead or alive at this point, is hardly significant. Our troops are no safer today than they were yesterday. And no American is safer today." And Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich (D-OH) stated that Zarqawi was minor in "a growing anti-American insurgency" and "we're there for all the wrong reasons."

Rep. Pete Stark (D-CA) suggested a more conspiratorial reason for the killing when he said: "This is just to cover Bush's rear so he doesn't have to answer for Iraqi civilians being killed by the U.S. military, and his own sagging poll numbers. Iraq is still a mess--get out!"

Rep. Jack Murtha (D-PA), Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) and House Minority leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) are still calling for the withdrawal of American troops from Iraq by the end of the year. Pelosi added Thursday: â??This morning, news arrived that our troops in Iraq have tracked down and killed the evil terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. We are proud of our troops for their tireless work. Their efforts should be commended and their sacrifices should be honored. But the security situation on the ground continues to threaten the safety of our troops.â?�

Kind of backs up what you've been stating.
