He's a Green, what do you expect. All the smart liberals are Democrats.

Did you really just put "smart", "liberal", and "democrat" in the same sentence?

I did. You forget Bill Clinton?

This one has less to do with the war in Iraq and more on the fight against al qaeda. i'm glad they got him, but i would have been happier to see his ### rot in jail and see him squirm for the rest of his life.

Sounds like good news

Who?

Would you please just crawl back into your hole, incanada? All this posting on VJ must be cutting into your Coulter reading, O'Reilly watching, and Limbaugh listening.

There was some speculation before this that Zarqawi was considered a loose cannon and A-Q wanted him "martyred". It'll be interesting to follow where the $25 million bounty goes. What would be awesome is if A-Q did set him up, but we go grab the A-Q informants as well and keep the $25 mil.

I was reading a blog by a Jordanian guy. Here's what he said:

I have to admit it’s a bittersweet moment to finally see this guy dead. I know everyone in Jordan should be cheering but I’m saying to myself so what? And I think in the days to come a lot of people will say the same thing.

As a terrorist who attacked our country and caused massive damage to our neighbours to the east I personally feel that a US air strike was not the way I wanted him to go. I really wanted to see the guy captured and brought to Amman and executed. If anything, it would’ve brought about a greater sense of justice. And I think that’s what I feel is missing from this guy’s death today…a sense of justice.

I think I agree with him. I'm glad he's dead, but it would've been better had he been tried for his crimes.

... it would've been better had he been tried for his crimes.

Probably. But death by laser guided bomb is better than nothing.

Another good blog entry on the subject from dailykos, popular liberal blog:

CHEERS to finding a really evil needle in a really big haystack. U.S. forces rocked terrorist Abu Musab "#######" al-Zarqawi's world last night when they tossed a thousand pounds of explosive whupass down his gullet. They found his body in the bedroom. And the kitchen. And the den. And the garage. And the neighbor's apartment. And I think I found an eyebrow in my Cocoa Puffs this morning. My only regret: he didn't know what hit him.

P.S. Virgins denied, creep.

P.P.S. For those of you keeping score at home, this is Iraqi Turning Point #697.

Cool. May he burn in hell.

Not just anyone can be a leader. There will be another, but effective leaders take time to emerge.

Nicholas Berg's father, "a pacifist who is running for Delaware's U.S. House seat on the Green Party ticket", had this to say on hearing the news:

"First of all, I'm not even certain that al-Zarqawi even killed my son," said Michael Berg, who doesn't believe the videotape of his son's execution or what he's been told by the FBI any more than he believes conspiracy theories suggesting his son was killed by the U.S. government.

He dont believe the videotape of the killing? Oh it be Mr.Berg. Im glad the Zarqawi ####### is dead as a doorknob!
