Zarqawi is dead

Too bad he was killed without the matyrdom thing. He 's just dead. No 72 virgins. Will I lose any sleep over his demise?... I think not. Some people need to be killed. He was one of them. There are plenty more, but he's good enough for this day. I am sure he is hell with Mohammed and all those other nut jobs who are convinced you can get into heaven while committing murder and suicide at the same time. Good riddance.

...and the Left is already talking about 'timing' and 'elections.' Talk about the Blind Men and the Pushme-Pullyou.

One has to hope there is an after life, and al-Zarqawi gets all that he merits for the life he has led. He certainly killed, maimed and tortured enough infidels to prove how peaceful and compassionate is his Allah.

I hope they feed him remains to the pigs.

You're next OBL!

"I hope they feed him remains to the pigs."

Don't do this onto the pigs.

"Abu Musab al-Zarqawi killed in air raid,"

Heard on the radio early this morning that local Iraqis had helped the coalition to find out where Musab al-Zarqawi was hiding out so as to be able to take him out. Thank-you Iraqis for your courage.

So glorious this demon is dead and gone. Hopefully this will prove a positive turning point for us in this awful war. Oil is down below 70$. Let's pray the USA and Iraq luck out here.

From reading this site we know how pervasive mindless violence is in Islam. How the non Muslim is inferior and fair game. Let's still hope for the best. Calm in Iraq will make Iranian nuke elimination more doable.

I feel like dancing with joy. My only regret is that Zarqawi didn't suffer the atype of agonizing death that he inflicted on his helpless victims.

Also heard on the radio this morning that this is the same day that in history Mohammed also had died in 632, same day as al-Zarqawi was taken out. How interesting.

This could send a message to Iran.

Razdan,
Me, too. Even though we were taught not to rejoice at death. Heck, he was a demon. And I am laughing as I type this.

What a pity. Somewhere in Baghdad or Guantanamo there is a scaffold that is weeping tears of loneliness. He should have been hanged. But at any rate, he is dead and in Hell. Let us take our satisfaction out of that.

A good death is what he would have wanted. It just seems too good for this crazed psychopath. It is said that General Pershing took fifty Islamists and executed all bar one with bullets soaked in pigs blood and buried their corpses with the remaining entrails. This had some psychological impact on the enemy to fight. Would this still be the case today?
Look out for Zarqawi's 'The Best of Snuff' compilation dvd.

GREAT NEWS INDEED.

Equally important is the report that the airstrike also took out seven of his close associates who were with him.
The USA and the Euroweenies should never doubt that the Americans are wholly committed to combat terrorism and we will continue to seek out and destroy those who actively pursue wholesale death to anyone, anywhere.
I believe it to be true that peace will come only with sacrifice and determination with total dedication to the active and covert pursuit of advocators of death, destruction and domination. In todays world this happens to be about 95% Islam related.
Congratulations to our fine military and ptttthhh to Murtah,Pelosi,Kennedy and those other wristwringers who would give up our hard earned freedoms to those who are willing to take it away.
SEMPER FI------HOOORAH

"Too bad he was killed without the matyrdom thing. He 's just dead. No 72 virgins...."

You raise an interesting point Infidel One.

Might it depend on the ordnance used by the US military?

If he heard the whine of the falling bombs and looked up.........well, maybe he qualifies, on the basis that he was "facing the infidel".

He also, in that fateful final moment, may have said "Allah u Akbar!"......in much the same way that I - were I in his shoes at the time - would have said "Holy Shit!".

This is a highly technical and relevant islamic point. Much like wrestling with the knotty problem of whether to stone homosexuals to death or to push a wall over on them. Or determining whether it is permissible for muslims to eat watermelon (or falafels apparently).

Hours of good clean theological fun.

In any event, I am sure the boys at Al Azar have already proclaimed him a martyr.

Anyway........I am off to raise a glass of good Dutch beer to the US military.

Today it´s a great day, congratulations to the americans and everybody, good work!
Respect what bigcatholic has said, God is here, and makes things, the same day that Mohamed died, we know Al-Zarqawi is dead.
Sadly, the Koran is alive, and very alive, and it´s the petrol for the terrorism.
But, I repeat it, today it´s a great day.

My, that was worth waking up early for.

I wonder if his rifle jammed again.

Finally we get a good date to remember, June 8, 2006. Thank you thank you thank you to those who participated in his death. We are dancing for joy here in Iraq, what a day! Time to smoke a cigar in celebration of this demons death!

Zarqawi was a serial-killer and Islam was the perfect religion for him. He is a sign of what is coming to all Islam in Saudi Arabia and in all the Mid East unless the region renounces Islam's supremacism-intolerance and allows all men and women freedom of concience and the unlimited right to reason and express thoughts based upon reason.

I wonder who will be the next dolt to step up to the plate and declared himself head honcho. Now we need to intensify our efforts to knock out OBL. I truly believe he is in Pakistan and is protected and supplied by the Pakistan government. If this could be proven, I would have no objection to punishing the Pakistani leaders.
In Iraq, I believe we should be more active in conducting house to house searches, looking for weapons caches, maps, documents, computers,and then pursue the death and destruction to all who stand up to fight. Taking prisoners is should not be an option.
I believe if our foot patrols come under fire, an immediate air strike should be called in!! If civilians get killed that would be sad, but I believe the civilians are supporting the terrorists and know when some action is going to occur. If the civilians truly wanted peace/freedom they would notify the coalition forces and then step aside to watch the fireworks.
The US military should be very wary of the Iraqi police and armed forces--many of them are actually the enemy. You may recall many of the abductions/assinations are carried out by persons wearing the uniforms of the police/army. While it may be true the uniforms could be confiscated equipment, it is equally true the uniforms are not.
Iran should worry. If the Euroweenies would more actively pursue and support the war on terror we could see progress. We still have a long way to go! Too many people want to be appeasers/appoligists to the Peaceful Religion of Islam.
After all the Peaceful Religion of Islams stated goal is death to non Muslims and world domination. Those who refuse to fight are destined to die.

AMEN!!! The only good El Quaeda member is a DEAD one! Let us rest when every single one of these bastards is no longer breathing and they are long being digested by worms 6 feet under, and let us hear not one word of remorse from any stupid, ill-thinking bleeding hearts. Since he beheaded a number of innocent people with his own hands, I personally would have no problem were we to bury his head and his body in two different locations.

And don't forget, the Jordanians helped us on this one.

TODAY IS A GOOD DAY FOR THE FREE WORLD!

AMEN!!!!!

Greetings from Bonn, Germany

They will bury him ? Not throw him to jackals ? Ah, well, one must be kind to noble animals like jackals.

From the BBC obituary:

"Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was Iraq's most notorious insurgent - a shadowy figure associated with spectacular bombings, assassinations and the beheading of foreign hostages.
The Jordanian-born militant first appeared in Iraq as the leader of the Tawhid and Jihad insurgent group, merging it in late 2004 with Osama Bin Laden's al-Qaeda network."

There is a word for people who hold innocents hostage and cut off their heads on video. It isn't "insurgent", and it isn't "militant" either.

Zarqawi's own country call him a terrorist. Zarqawi's own family call him a terrorist. Why can't the BBC?

The little punk was killed yesterday, June 7, at 6:15 pm local time, 10:15 am EST June 7. We just hear about it today.

This means that he has been in hell for almost 24 hours. No, wait. He's been in islamic countries his whole life.

It's amazing how different the coverage of this event is in the United States.

I put on CNN for 1 minute (I don't know why I do that to myself, I guess I am a glutton for punishment) and what they are basically putting out is killing Zarqawi is a bad thing as it may "incite" more violence. Unbelievable....

FOX News is generally positive about the event. They are a little "pie in the sky" over what it means. For example, no answers to the Shia militia problems, however for the most part they put it in proper perspective.

At least they don’t make me sick to my stomach like the Dhimmi's at CNN do. Let's hope our military dosen't do anything to "incite" more violence... I can't believe they actually believe what they are saying...

AP story out about how his family in Jordan said they expected this to come soon. I thought to my self wow they may have regretted his actions after all.... NO

"The husband, who identified himself as Abu Qudama, said: "We're not sad that he's dead."

"To the contrary, we're happy because he's a martyr and he's now in heaven," added the man"

Go figure!

My ass pal I know where he is and it aint heaven!

Well I know what is comming next.. We will hear people say that this will only spanw more Al-Zarqawi's... Well looking at it from a person with over 20 years in the Military... That is just more targets!

From Radio host Neal Boortz:

By the way ... just what are Zarqawi's buddies like John Murtha, Howard Dean, John Kerry and Michael Moore going to do now? Who will fax them their talking points?

amen

Cheering, and worrying.

Cheering, for all the obvious reasons. And there would be still more cheering, for all the obvious reasons, if Bin Laden and Al-Zawahiri were killed. Puts a bounce in one's step, makes the morning better.

Worrying, for all the obvious reasons and some unobvious ones. Gives Infidels a false sense that there is an end to this matter; allows some to conclude that "we're getting the bad guys" and we are "winning." (Listen to radio shows).

Worrying, because Al-Zarqawi, like Bin Laden, like all of them, is part of a store that is endlessly replenishable, as long as Islam remains Islam, and Believers take it seriously.

Worrying, because the idea that this is a "war on terror" and we "are killing the terrorists" will be reinforced, as it naturally would be when this or that terrorist, or eight of them, are kiled.

Worrying, because it will be given enormous, exaggerated attention, and the other war, the main war, the war that involves the most effective instruments of Jihad -- money, Da'wa, demographic conquest -- will still not be addressed, and the "war on terror" will be seen as being won, and that will take away from what was dawning on some, to wit: The phrase "we have to fight them over there so we don't have to fight them here" is a false remark, and seen to be even more false as those 17 natives of Canada are rounded up, with their Qur'ans, and their burka-ed relatives smack in the middle of Toronto, and their storefront mosques, and their three tons of nitrogen fertilizer, and their plans for dealing with the Canadian Parliament and the Canadian Prime Minister.

Worrying, because even if the killiing of Zarqawi and others diminishes the outside Sunnis, this will delay the day of American recognition that the main part of the revolt is not from the "terrorists" outside Iraq (though it is pleasant to think so) but from Sunnis who do not wish to see power transferred from themselves to the Shi'a, though that transfer became inevitable when Saddam Hussein was overthrown, along with his entire ruling class and the Sunni-officered military disbanded, and that far from being cause for American alarm, American aims, the aims of all Infidels, are best achieved by letting those sectarian and ethnic (Kurd and Arab) hostilities not be somehow papered over, but simmering, or ideally -- if we stop watching that pot -- boiling over, and as co-religionists of both sides join in, and effects are felt from Yemen and Al-Hasa province of Saudi Arabia all the way to Lebanon, and perhaps even to Muslims in the Western world, their previous anti-Infidel unity now suddenly sundered.

Wonderful news. Hurray! Misleading news. Watch out! Be careful not to be carried away.

He died as he lived..........hiding like a coward, trying to preserve his own skin.

I guess this is going to cause a big problem for his fellow jihadists? If you follow their own thinking, he died because allah willed it. Although judging by previous experience they will probably say that allah has taken him to heaven as a reward for all the innocents he killed. Islam, the religion that can find a loophole for any behaviour.

Allah peanut butter sandwiches.

Nick Berg.

Sorry we took so long.

Rest better.

Assalamau Laikum all,

Yes this can only be good news. The man was fighting for his freedom from the Ameriki...that is what he was believing in...but associating Islam with it was where he lost lots of support.

To gruesomely killing innocents is the way of physopaths...and they have no place in Islam.

Brownie says "After all the Peaceful Religion of Islams stated goal is death to non Muslims and world domination. Those who refuse to fight are destined to die".

No it's not....where do you get your info from.
Certainly, the world is up there for domination...you can argue that this is the reason why the Amriki are in Iraq...and Afgan...and Pakistan...and Hawaii...and ...and.

Dhimmis ARE & will be required in the future to run the "engine" of the economy. The doctors, nurses, laweyers, engineers...all will be required to keep the muslim fit & healthy.

Muslims MUST give way to violence...that path of destruction will not give them the domination of yesteryear....and no need for it anyway.

The Amreki will succumb to charm & wit & peaceful domination. Win the seats at local elections...widen the Islamic economy interests...like clothes shops, gold, Islamic banking, Halal butchers, mosques, loudspeakers, mecca flyers, conversations, alcohol drying out centres, common sense practices.

When applied globally...peacefully Islam will dominate...that is the way forward...Inshallah.

My heartfelt thank to Hugh.

You hit the nail on the head!! These people are terrified that we actually pursue and kill terrorists.. Well DUHHH , they have openly stated they intend to kill us all. And they certainly have attacked in virtually every country in the world. THe Religion of Peace link on JW documents at least 5000 worldwide terrorist attacks attributed to the Peaceful Religion Of Islam..We should continue to actively attack and annihilate those who insist on killing innocent people and whose intent is to eliminate your freedom and your life. thanks,

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm having me some pork rinds and hot sauce and a lifting a few cold long necks (Beer, FYI) to the boys of the US Air Force for a job well done! Mazel tov, y'all! :)

Naseems says "Muslims MUST give way to violence...", l know Naseem is surely not an educated muslim, seems she/he cannot read her/his own coran, or lives in his/her twilight zone. Violence is part of spreading this death cult.
as copied earlier:
Qur’an:9:88 “The Messenger and those who believe with him, strive hard and fight with their wealth and lives in Allah’s Cause.”
Qur’an:9:5 “Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war.”
Qur’an:9:112 “The Believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain, kill and are killed.”
Qur’an:9:29 “Fight those who do not believe until they all surrender, paying the protective tax in submission.”
Ishaq:325 “Muslims, fight in Allah’s Cause. Stand firm and you will prosper. Help the Prophet, obey him, give him your allegiance, and your religion will be victorious.”
Qur’an:8:39 “Fight them until all opposition ends and all submit to Allah.”
Qur’an:8:39 “So fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief [non-Muslims]) and all submit to the religion of Allah alone (in the whole world).”
Ishaq:324 “He said, ‘Fight them so that there is no more rebellion, and religion, all of it, is for Allah only. Allah must have no rivals.’”
Qur’an:9:14 “Fight them and Allah will punish them by your hands, lay them low, and cover them with shame. He will help you over them.”
Ishaq:300 “I am fighting in Allah’s service. This is piety and a good deed. In Allah’s war I do not fear as others should. For this fighting is righteous, true, and good.”
Ishaq:587 “Our onslaught will not be a weak faltering affair. We shall fight as long as we live. We will fight until you turn to Islam, humbly seeking refuge. We will fight not caring whom we meet. We will fight whether we destroy ancient holdings or newly gotten gains. We have mutilated every opponent. We have driven them violently before us at the command of Allah and Islam. We will fight until our religion is established. And we will plunder them, for they must suffer disgrace.

But hey Abu Musab al-Zarqaw is dead, and roasting in hell.. he is most likely being wrapped in an Israeli and AMerican flag in his little coffin!
one can cheer he died and fear is being instilled in any would be leader of al-quaeda! let them show their faces, and let the drones follow them to hell quarded by the three headed dog!

Naseem:

Zarqawi was not fighting for "freedom from Amerika". He was fighting to put veils on women whether they wanted to wear them or not, and to keep them from becoming educated and able to support themselves financially. He was fighting to ensure that Iraq's Shia majority remained subservient to the Sunni minority. He was fighting to enslave as much of the world as he could to Sunni-Salafist-Wahabbi Islam.

As for Amerika falling under the spell of Islam, allow me to quickly acquaint you with the tale of the milkmaid transporting a basket of eggs to market, balanced on her head. She gets carried away with visions of the fine clothing she will buy for herself with the money she is paid for the eggs, and strikes a pose that causes the basket to topple off of her head, leaving her with nothing.

Don't kid yourself. Time is running out for you dawaists. The media and some politicians and civil servants may be hopelessly blinded by political correctness, but the vast silent majority have gone from polite skepticism to being at the end of their patience with people who exploit western values and tolerance in order to impose a very inferior social order on us. After all, what rational person would want to emulate a culture that now constitutes 20+% of the world's population, yet have contributed so very little to human development in the last few centuries. And most of us are rational people who do not rely on blind faith to guide us through life.

Hugh,

Thank-you for your excellent comments that was presented. While we should be happy for this victory; the fight goes on for the west to stand up and protect its Judeo/Christian and democratic values.

Naseem,

This event must send a message to the world wide Muslim community that they must begin to clean their house out of those in that community that promote terror violence against non-Muslims and those Muslims who do not share the jihadists quest to dominate the world and try to by force impose Sharia. The world wide Muslim community must not only condemm the terror violence but vow to end its pratice and learn not only to get with the 21st century but to live in peace with the non-Muslims as well as to respect the rights of non-Muslims which includes freedom of religion.

To Everyone Else,

This is truly a historic day in the GWOT.

Wyatt Earp, to Doc Holliday: "What makes a man like Ringo, Doc? What makes him do the things he does?"

Doc: "A man like Ringo has got a great empty hole right in the middle of himself. And he can never kill enough, or steal enough, or inflict enough pain to ever fill it."

Wyatt: "What does he want?"

Doc: "Revenge."

Wyatt: "Revenge for what?"

Doc: "For bein' born."

That dialog on Ringo was from the movie "Tombstone."

He appears to have been a very unpopular man.

I have a lot of fear that dawa and demograhics would be the only weapon in islam, because with this, they can win easily and we can´t challenge the problem with prevision. With terrorism, you see the enemy, with demography and dawa, the enemy is unseen.

waterdragon52 wrote: "After all, what rational person would want to emulate a culture that now constitutes 20+% of the world's population, yet have contributed so very little to human development in the last few centuries."

Contributing to human development is not what Islam is about. Living conditions for humanity in the temporal world are irrelevant. All that counts is submission to Allah and jihadic death on his behalf. Therefore, the betterment of life on Earth for humanity is never a near term or long term goal at all.

Under Islam, the only way that living conditions can be improved is for the subjugated dhimmis to work hard in service to their Muslim overseers. What improvements the dhimmis produce are not then attributed to the talent and generosity of the dhimmis themselves, but to Allah, who is providing gifts to the ummah in reward for their piety. What matters to Islam in the temporal world is that the relative affluence between non-Muslims and Muslims should clearly favor the latter. Any other state of affairs is "injustice," injustice they must perpetually struggle against.

That is the mindset that is in the Naseem posting. That is the mindset that prevents Islamic countries to develop economically. That is the mindset that enables Muslims to embrace master-slave relationships. That is why Naseem and others like him/her will not be influenced by your argument.

" ... that prevents Islamic countries from developing economically."

I wonder what they will do with his body? I know what I would do with his body, were I in charge, but due to the controversy yesterday involving 'unseemly' speech, all I will tell you is that it involves fire and the carcasses of swine.

Truly great news.

Always a great day when a Jihadist is killed. Muslims get their martyr and cause to remain in darkness and the rest of the world gets to move on. "Isam will eat itself" comes to mind.

In an odd "textbook" way I salute Zarqawi. [If you don't understand fully what that means don't comment because it does not mean I admire him] At least Zarqawi had the stones to be in the field and fighting. Whereas bin Laden...well, we have all seen that little kid fairy dance durning a game of tag "Nyah, Nyah. You can't catch me!" which is basically whae he pulls time and time again after "planning" an attack that other people carry out. Never him, never his children. Always others.

Still bombs are going off in Iraq; 20 killed this morning. Are they left over planned attacks by Zarqawi's organization or are they random attacks by Sunni insurgents without Zarqawi affiliation? Will there be someone else to pick up the mantle and keep trying to foment a civil war between the Sunnis' and the Sheites'?.

Advantage Sheites; given the evergrowing influence of Iran which has a Sheite majority.

Naseem wrote:
Yes this can only be good news. The man was fighting for his freedom from the Ameriki...

Naseem,

When did Ameriki attack Jordan? eh?

No, he was a muslim attacking Ameicans because that is what Isalm teaches him to do, to kill non-muslims wherever they are. And in his mind, if a Shiite is a non-muslim so be it. He would kill them too.

Maybe some day a muslim like him will decide that the fellow muslim woman who dares to speak up after he rapes her is a non muslim. And he will kill her too. Well not him because he is dead now. lol

We went through this, even in the USA, many moons ago, Salem witch trials, etc. ANCIENT history for us. We got over it, and now we live well.

Can Islam ever get over it?

Naseem the broodmare reveals again the rotting underbelly of her weak mythology.

"Dhimmis ARE & will be required in the future to run the "engine" of the economy."

By this you mean Islamic sactioned slavery of course. Good luck finding those slaves.

"The doctors, nurses, laweyers, engineers...all will be required to keep the muslim fit & healthy."

Idiot, who brain washed you into thinking you're royalty? Muslims will pay for all these services at the same price non-muslms pay.

"The Amreki will succumb to charm & wit & peaceful domination. Win the seats at local elections...widen the Islamic economy interests...like clothes shops, gold, Islamic banking, Halal butchers, mosques, loudspeakers, mecca flyers, conversations, alcohol drying out centres, common sense practices."

Thanks for the tip off in your plans, we've heard it before. Not only is your CarrotOrTheStick god a non-existent joke but your sense of bravado is almost fascist. Hmmmm.

Not surprised by your koran sanctioned stupidity one bit but thanks for reminding us all of your fragile arrogance.

I was so happy I ran outside and started dancing around like a madman and shooting my AK47 in the air. Then I burned a couple Iranian flags and jumped around some more smiling crazily and shrieking venom against al-Zarqawi, I was so pleased.

Wait a minute...

I'm not a True Believer.

I did none of those things.

But I am happy about the news -> (great big smile)

CD Baric

"Naseem" is permitted to blog here for obvious pedagogic reasons. But no need to spend time or effort actually replying to her, as if some kind of inter-faith dialogue could ensue. That would be silly. That would be a waste of Infidel time. That was not the intention.

Yes, I need to spend my Infidel time looking up "pedagogic"

Night all from Oz..

Websters:

Pedagogic: of, relating to, or befitting a teacher or education

Bohemond,
Nice to see you buddy. But you made me drool on my keyboard.

"I put on CNN for 1 minute (I don't know why I do that to myself, I guess I am a glutton for punishment) and what they are basically putting out is killing Zarqawi is a bad thing as it may "incite" more violence. Unbelievable...."
--From Adobe above

I also made the mistake of putting on CNN for a minute or so, and as they were showing the ruins of the house, one of the first things out of Miles O'brien's mouth was: "It is important to note that these ruins you are seeing could very well be the ruins of COLLATERAL DAMAGE." (emphasis mine)

Sigh. I can just see the future MSM headline now: Bin Laden Martyred! US brutally attacks cave! 50 sheep and goats killed as collateral damage!

The media over here is much better. They called him a "terrorist" and it is over all the news channels. When I went out for a while, a friend of mine sauntered over with a BIG smile and said, "know what. They got him".

Talking head on Fox just said that they got Zarq in "his quote/unquote safehouse."

Yes, she actually did say 'quote/unquote'.

Lol!

...and yes, I know they got him earlier. This was just an update.

You are correct Hugh, interfaith dailog is not the intention with the likes of Naseem. Exposing and humiliating her shallow remarks is. Showing her, perpetually, that her myth/god will not vindicate or protect her imaginary worldview is the point.

Ignore her posts? No. Deconstruct her god, humiliate her arrogance, defeat her personal jihad? Yes.

She and her likeminded compadres need to know their expansionist ideology is not only rejected but eternally unwelcome.

As far as her permission post here? Absolutely! This "pedagogue" needs to show the world her common dogmatic idiocy as often as she can get her burkha off her head and her hands on the keyboard.

Back on topic: Zarqawi fertilizer.

HUgh, Quantum says "You are correct Hugh, interfaith dailog is not the intention with the likes of Naseem. Exposing and humiliating her shallow remarks is. Showing her, perpetually, that her myth/god will not vindicate or protect her imaginary worldview is the point".

So if there is no interfaith dialog with the likes of me ....who are you going to talk to .....the fellow who you just killed....the fellow much of Islam wanted out of the way too.

Allah decides who goes....and he decided the clock is up for these sickos.

They are a few ...but what happens now. How will Allah direct the Ameriki to act ...this is a very intersting question for us (in Islam).

Couldn't this thread be entitled: "The other shoe drops."?

Just days after the US "warms" up to Iran, and all the chicken littles cry "The sky is falling! The sky is falling!" two shapely bombs render unto Caesar his due.

HAMLET Act 1. Scene 5.

And therefore as a stranger give it welcome.
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

I disagree with the sentiments expressed by some posters above that Zarqawi should have been brought to justice, or given a slow painful death, like hanging or the beheadings he administered to Nick Berg (whose father seems to be the one to have his head). Fantasies aside, you know that wouldn't have happened. With all the howls from Amnesty International, John McCain, John Murtha, Harry Reid, et al about any combination of Gitmo, secret prisons abroad, et al, had he been captured alive, the next question would have been about due process, his rights, which court he should be tried in, et al. Not to mention the media circus that may have followed, a jury that may have acquited him of the death penalty and housed him in Florence, CO...

No, given all these insane probabilities that are a side-effect of the politically correct environment in which we live, there couldn't have been a better ending than this.

Also, on Hugh's comment above, I think that after Zarqawi, Osama and Zawahiri's deaths, these terror plots will continue, and there will be no al-Qaeda tracks leading back to the Mid-East, since a lot of these will be home grown. Then, sooner or later, those in power will be forced to come to grips with the reality (of Islam).

jsla

I don't really see any connection between this, and bending over for Iran. Do you?

Quantum Infidel,

The more I read Naseem's posts, the more is realized that Naseem is simply dreaming.

Infidel Pride -- Not being able to sleep last night, I had my TV on when this story came over the transome -- as a former media mogul of sorts (lol) I have the most preposterous array of feeds into my home... at about 1AM PST or so the world media began going berserk, scrambling to cover the story and there was all kinds of confusion. There was a little gem in one of the Arab feeds which mentioned through a translator that Zarqawi had been fingered by an "Al Qaida in Iran". My hair stood on end when I heard this, and everyting fell into place.

The beauty of it is so brilliant, it doesn't even matter if this is true or not. The simple fact of the matter is this:

Iran and the US begin to talk. Mere hours later Zarqawi is worm fodder. It's so perfectly divine that my (ever since 9/11) complete lack of confidence in Ms. Rice began it's first reversal. If there are any wits in the West, this is the most happy confluence of events.

Just think of the gears turning in Riyadh over their Frankenstein finally dying in Iraq.

Paranoic sounding military types have been written long before the advent of George Bush that the US must re-align the Muslim middle east and slowly shift the center of Muslim gravity away from Saudi Arabia and towards Iran. I don't want to write a treatise about the myriad reasons why this might be a good thing aside from the obvious, nor to I want to attempt to explain why the popularly described "greatest state sponsor of terrorism in the world" would be a good candidate to hand influence over to. Some of it is way over my head. But I am a strategist at heart, and love to peer into the future in order to avoid train wrecks. It has made me a wealthy man. I think we just saw some superb gamesmanship on the part of our State Department. It may simply be a coincidence. But the Muslims must be wondering where the bottom is right now. Usually the absolute bottom is their province, not ours. They may have just been alerted that their Jihad has entered some deep and unplumbed depths of dastardliness. Stay tuned. I have been warning in other threads on this whole Iran topic not to jump to conclusions about any of this. It's far to interesting not to pause and refresh oneself at the well of possibilities.

Short version: We may have just witnessed the inflection point in the West's war with Islamic Jihad.

Skald,
No offense taken. India. The name is a Hindu one.

Regards,
Arjun

Naseem doesn't "dream". She contradicts herself. How can she, in the same sentence, laud Zaqawi for massacring Muslims because the infidel Amerikan invaders are too well defended to easily target, as a defence of the ummah, yet deplore his violence.
