Zarqawi Killed In Air Raid

[Ban Hammer 14,269]

Where are the posts 'defending' Zarqawi. The argument is bigger than that. Of course... if you'd read through the thread you would know that.

Well, you did say:

You're right. I am indeed a Hillary loving leftist. I hate America, I love terrorists. Bin Laden is on my christmas card list and I'd vote for Saddam Hussein.

I'm glad someone finally understands me

Caught you!!!!

i knew that would come back to haunt him

Yep - that's me dead to rights

Seriously though... its a shame so many folks want to obscure the issue under discussion by banging on about anti-americanism. Not what its about at all.

Is there anyone on here who is sad he is dead?

Please take one step forward!

These same people who have spent hours on end here defending Zarqawi...

Who, exactly, would that be? Name one (and back up your freaken claim) or zip it!

Fishy,

You know them Bushies and them wrap-myself-(especially my eyes)-in-a-flag types can't (or, at least refuse to) argue on merits. Never have, never will. You ask a question, articulate a critical thought (the horror) and all they can and ever will do is slap the anti-American label on you. All it really does is expose them for the anti-Americans they are.

Cheers!

Brother Reinhard, have you noticed all the "newbies" around here lately? What's up with that... just come here to talk ####### and stick their noses into something that doesn't concern them? Maybe their normal blog sites are too lame, or they got booted off for being so damn ignorant!!!

I noticed that incanada multiplied. I said so in this thread as well. In response, she sent me an infantile PM off her new identity, too. I blocked that new identity 'cause I don't care to concern myself with that kind of a ridiculous individual.

Guess you must have hit a nerve!!! Infantile and ridiculous are certainly good adjectives to describe her.

This is rather similar to that Rush Limbaugh story that approvemedammit posted last the other week. The core issue in the article was jettisoned entirely in favor of the headline and lead-in copy that the woman was blaming the government for her having to have an abortion because she couldn't get the morning after pill within the 72 hour window. So never mind the issues a particular story raises, lets attack the people asking the questions rather than dealing with the arguments raised.

At this point - people are throwing in their 2cents worth without actually reading the thread in its entirety and without addressing the arguments raised. tw@ts.

Someone needs to thump her round the head with the bible she cares so passionately about. She's about as far far from a 'model' christian as Zarqawi was a paragon of muslim virtue. Clearly some issues there...

You keep thinking whatever you wanna think, sweets. We know how the left loves conspiracy theories.

I see a lot of labeling on all sides of the psuedo various issues.

Since this was bumped back to the top, I want to post this.

The United States has thwarted democracy, inserted puppet dictators, smothered human rights, and stifled freedom in many countries in the Middle East. Did we think that our long history of ignoble intervention in the region would leave no angry aftermath?

This tendency to deny responsibility for the consequences of dubious deeds is a hallowed American tradition that is familiar to me as an African-American and a descendant of enslaved Africans. Denial doesn’t expunge the errors of history; it compounds them. Victims of those errors don’t disappear, and their quest for justice doesn’t dissipate.

When history’s victims inevitably lash out, their grievances are downplayed and they become targets of revenge rather than mediation—perpetuating the cycle. One of the roles of progressives is to connect the dots linking present disorders to past injustices. But fear of future terrorist attacks has convinced pro-war progressives to abandon that role and push for a muscular response to the present danger. But instead of discouraging potential terrorists, our military aggression likely is seeding vast fields of future antagonists, and nothing we have in our high-tech arsenal will be able to stem that hostile tide.

If we deny the historical context that connects the “asymmetrical warfare” that we call terrorism to the past, we are only postponing a necessary reckoning. The pro-war progressives know this, but they are fearful, and fear is the right’s best recruiter.

The Arab world has legitimate grievances, and by ignoring them we are feeding the totalitarian impulse driving the Islamist cults. Were the administration more skilled in diplomacy and not dominated by the bellicose neocons that have hijacked U.S. foreign policy, it might have used the world’s sympathy following 9/11 to organize a more efficient global fight against terrorism. After all, diplomatic pressure from Libya and Egypt is what forced Sudan to eject Osama bin Laden in the ’90s. Such an approach would have put the pressure on Muslim groups to speak out more vigorously against terrorism as an affront to Islam.

What’s more, the United States could easily have helped to dry up grassroots support for Islamist cults with a tangible expression of assurance that it seeks to assist rather than destroy the Muslim world. Political gestures could have been modeled on the European Union’s efforts at the 2001 U.N. conference on racism, when it vowed to forge new relationships between the colonized and the colonizers of history.

Instead, the Bush administration launched an illegal military invasion of Iraq for what now appears to have been a fraudulent pretext; appointed Lt. Gen. Jay Garner, an open admirer of Israel; Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, to head up Iraq’s reconstruction effort; nominated the well-known Islamophobe Daniel Pipes to the U.S. Institute of Peace; and continues to act in a way that seems designed to produce exactly the hatred of the United States that the radical Islamists want to provoke.

Not my words, but I totally agree with what is being said.
