What a week this has been for the GOP AMERICA! Today’s spectacular news is that terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has been killed in an airstrike north of Baghdad. This was “confirmed” by the Iraqi government, but actual confirmation appears on the Islamist web-site of his “organization”, “Al-Qaeda in Iraq”. In short, it might actually be true. There is no doubt that this will be the greatest day in the long march toward winning the key battle in Iraq in the global war against swarthy-people’s extremism since the fall of Saddam, or the toppling of his statue, or the deaths of Qusay and Uday, or the capture of Saddam, or the battle of Fallujah, or the first election, or the second election, or the naming of al-Maliki.
This comes on top of the defeat of insurgent California school board member Francine Busby in the global struggle taking place in California’s 50th Congressional district.
Take that, you dirty jihadists! You’ve been SERVED!

Hey TD:
The elevator from which I get all my news had the top three monumental stories listed:
1. Zarqawi Killed.
2. New Vaccine Against Cancer.
3. Streisand Going on Tour.
Have the same sexers infiltrated everywhere?
You list different events disparagingly(?) like one ‘event’ is a defining point in a war. So because there have been many, they disprove any progress. Unfortunately no war has been as simple as you seem to think maybe they were. If I have misread what you were implying, I apologize.
Hey, I’m with Al Gore: I’m unequivocally glad that [evil bastard] Zarqawi is dead. What else can you say? But the bombings in Baghdad continue, the government remains in control of very little, our troops are still getting attacked and killed…
I didn’t tout Saddam’s capture as a big deal (and quite possibly the end of the war, the death of the insurgency, etc.): the Bush Administration did that. In fact, when Howard Dean said of that event, “It’s nice, but not that a big deal– the war will go on”, he was duly mocked from all sides.
So, hey, hurray for those who knocked off Zarqawi and his associates. What else are we supposed to say? At this point, I guess, you’re either with us (in the sense of being a 100% uncritical cheerleader of the Imperium) or you’re a complete traitor; it’s why an entire political spectrum, including all those who used to be called “principled conservatives” have been shoved into the “them” category at the cult of the Praetorian state.
So, like, yeah. Hurray. But we all know that Zarqawi’s death changes little, if anything, “on the ground” in Iraq where Zarqawi led but one of dozens of groups like his.
