The media manipulating mass murderer responsible for the deaths of many Americans and Iraqis, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, has been terminated along with several other Islamofascist terrorist masterminds by a precision military strike today. Good news! While certainly not the end to insurgent violence in Iraq, it is a major blow to the enemies of freedom there and a small step forward for the new democratically-elected government.
The best take comes from Blackfive: by Froggy, by Uncle Jimbo, and by Blackfive himself. Other good sources are Austin Bay and Iraq the Model.
Meanwhile on the Left, as the Daily Kos sighs “Finally” at the news, some of the moonbat Kos Kid commenters reveal their true tinfoil hat colors. One Christopher Day gives us a peek into the Democrat playbook:
Zarqawi was quite probably a psy ops job in the first place, so what does that make his “death”?
Keep your eyes on the prize:
Gay marriage?
Haditha.Flag burning?
Haditha!Brangelina?
HADITHA!Zarqawi?
HADITHA!!!
Then there are the words of the naive Johann that remind us why we don’t want these people in charge of our foreign policy:
While I may agree with you that “This is the one monster who deserved to die.” This method violates everything my America stands for. It violates the rule of law and invokes the rule of force in what should be a criminal, not a military, matter. To give Al-Queda status by declaring that this is a war, rather than arrest and prosecution for crimes committed, the Bush Administration has given Al-Queda much more status than they deserve.
To be fair, a few of the commenters are sharing the rest of the nation’s joy at the news. Hopefully they can keep their less stable brethren from slipping off into serious depression.
Someone else can deconstruct the rest of the lies and lunacy, but I need to move on for now.
