HOW WILL THE MSM REACT TO ZARQAWI'S DEATH?

         The killing of Abu Mussab al Zarqawi may constitute a blow not just to the Jihadis, but to their utopian allies among our wordsmith elites---the mainstream media, NPR, Hollywood leftists, liberal arts faculties. How will they respond so as to minimize the threat? We can anticipate the following, with variations: 1) By killing Z. we've created a martyr and that will fuel the 'insurgency'. 2) How did we get the intelligence? Did we use torture? It's another Abu Graibh. Besides, we should have captured him and given him a fair trial in accordance with our democratic ideals. 3) Invading Iraq created Zarqawi; ultimately Bush is to blame. 4) What about the lives of innocents killed when we bombed Zarqawi? We, of course, support our troops, but we're turning them into barbaric killers, terrorizing Iraqis. 5) Our indiscriminate killing took the life of a "spiritual adviser" to Zarqawi, thus demonstrating our Western disrespect for Islam. 6) Zarqawi was a liberator, fighting to rid Iraq of the arrogant Americans.7) Was he a truly bad man? There are lots of bad men; for instance Rumsfeld, Cheney and Bush. Why single out Zarqawi? 8) Zarqawi never existed; he was a CIA invention, needed by Bush to justify his imperialist plans.

Don't leave out Nick Berg's father blaming President Bush for his son's death instead of the man who actually beheaded him: Zarqawi.

Nick Berg’s father, described as a Green Party pacifist, does not think this is that great of a victory because it is just more killing. This wimp is not even worthy of living in the land of Oz. Even the munchkins celebrated when the first wicked witch had a house dropped on her.

It didn't take long:

"Zarqawi Snitch in Custody of Jordanian Police for Months
The U.S. does not approve of torture, claims President Bush. Does anyone have any doubt that Ziad Khalaf Raja al-Karbouly, the Iraqi customs inspector who turned on Zaqarwi after being arrested and held for months by the Jordanian police, talked as a result of being subjected to torture? Connect the dots. More here.

An Iraqi customs agent secretly working with Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's terror cell spilled the beans on the group after he was arrested, Jordanian officials tell ABC News. Ziad Khalaf Raja al-Karbouly was arrested by Jordanian intelligence forces last spring.

Officials say Karbouly confessed to his role in the terror cell and provided crucial information on the names of Zarqawi commanders and locations of their safe houses. Karbouly also admitted to his role in the kidnappings of two Moroccan embassy employees, four Iraqi National Guards and an Iraqi finance ministry official.

In a videotaped confession, Karbouly said he acted on direct orders from Zarqawi.

So now we use information gained from torture to murder our target. What makes us different from them?

Good stuff Stephen. My wife called me from Spain to tell me the great news! A NAZZI (Nazi) Islamoterrorist was dead. Not all Europeans are wimps.

Liberal America is disgusting. And Democrats wonder why -even when Republicans falter- why they can't get tractions. It's because they are a Holier than Thou Faction of Left wing special interest groups more interested in special agendas like Gay Marriage than National Security. I personally don't care WHAT gays do but I deeply resent them bringing up divisive social issues NOW. Those that do LACK PATRIOTISM and CIVIC VIRTUE.


The Democrats -I used to be one- need to be replaced by another party entirely. I will never support the Democratic party again as long as I live. I prefer to abstain rather than vote for them.
Bad news for them. My parents and grandparents helped elect LBJ, TRUMAN, JFK and I lament to say LBJ. Not a single adult has voted Democratic in major election since before 1972. 1968 was the last year at least half of the adults voted Democratic. The Dems will never learn. They cannot win hammering DWEM's and families and the pledge and crosses on war memorials and issues like Gay and Lesbian marriage. It only convinces middle America that the Dems are an illiberal anti-American elite. The Republicans are not perfect -sometimes they are corrupt but they LEAVE ORDINARY PEOPLE ALONE and don't want to dynamite war memorials or dissolve the US MARINES or boy scouts. THe bottom line is the Repubicans are American nationalists and proud of it. Democrats don't know what they are but they aren't American nationalists. They are the party of the Bold State and special interests only such as the faction benefitting from being a hereditary caste. I thought hereditary privilieges were unconstittional MUCH MORE SO THAN SCHOOL PRAYER OR RELIGION IN THE PUBLIC SQUARE but the Democrats embrace it and call it DIVERSITY.

I call it the new spoils system and UNCONSTITUTIONAL. I will NEVER MODIFY MY VIEW ON THIS. I am too old to gain any benefit of any reform myself but i am thinking of others and my son and future grandchildren. Issue like this won't go away and DEMOCRATS have no clue why millions -who could support them- are turned off.

Al Gore says it all. He is a fat hypoocrite. He was a pro-life, pro-NRA patriot as a congressman and then sold his soul to the devil to get the nomination.
The result? He didn't even win Tennessee or his old congressional district. What does THAT tell you?

He lived off the old political capital of his father and FDR and then abandoned his base.
