Blasted Abu Musab al Zarqawi two quarter ton bombs
Hooray We Blasted Abu Musab al Zarqawi two quarter ton bombs!
Abu Musab al Zarqawi is more of a media show figure. He killed Nick Berg in 2004 on video, and created a "face" to the enemy. Zarqawi is not from Iraq, rather he came there to form a resistance to the war in the first place. His links to al queda just made him a show figure so Bush can parade the familiar september 11 terrorist group to confuse people into thinking september 11 had something to do with the Iraq war, which it doesnt at ALL.
Zarqawi's influence there is minimal compared to many of shiiate extremists and other groups that are the most formidable resistance.
Zarqawi was reportedly still alive when people got there, even trying to get off the stretcher. He died soon after. Speculations of him being outside the house are obvious when noting the two 227kg bombs.
Even Berg's father, said he's saddenned by the death of Zarqawi. He said his sons death was a retaliation to what we were doing in Iraq, and killing zarqawi will only make his supporters want further retaliation in a continuing loop of revenge.
On the news the dead Zarqawi Body is being continually flaunted with side by side pictures while he was living. There even appears to be some kind of news conference where there's a soldier using a pointing stick onto a framed picture of the dead Zarqawi. The press is continually taking pictures. I don't know what kind of message this is supposed to send to any youth watching. His nose looks bloodied and there's an outline of light red surrounding the concrete that his head is on.
Canada.com Writes
"Caldwell also revealed that Zarqawi's face was "very, very bloody" and was cleaned up for the photos that were displayed publicly. "Despite the fact that this person actually had no regard for human life we were not going to treat him in the same manner, so they did clean his face up for the shots that were shown publicly," said Caldwell. The photos were not digitally altered."
I think they cleaned up his face to make it look better and more comparable to while-alive pictures during their disgusting press release, where they flaunted his bloodied dead picture. I think that's still "no regard for human life".
The washinton post writes in retardation:
"Has the U.S. reached a turning point in its war on terror?
That's the question at the heart of international online commentary on the killing of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq."

More stability in Iraq Following Zarqawi's death?
Aside from the terrorists groups that are using violence there's the main religious groups working for power. Even if we get rid of the fanatical ones, which is unlikely to happen, there's no fixing the situation. The people will continue fighting for power until there's only one group left. Saddam might have been a psycho tyrant, but without him now we have a civil war. Democracy only works when people can come together in a civilized way. Since there's so much enmity between the groups the corruption is unmanagable, as with any religious extremism.
Somehow killing a leader of a group of obsessive religious extremists is supposed to change how the followers feel? On the contrary, the death martars the leaders and makes them live on. Think of David Koresh or that moron Kurt Cobain that sold teen angst. This isn't a very organized group and their objective is to die for their cause.
Conspiracy?
After initially reporting a child is among the dead, taking that back, and saying yes there was again... After initial reports that he was dead when they arrived, and then the story changed to he was alive when they arrived then shortly after died... some suspect some kind of conspiracy. Zarqawi's face appeared relatively bloodied at a minimum... taken the 1000 pounds of bombs dropped on him.
" "He was still alive. We put him in the ambulance, but when the Americans arrived they took him out of the ambulance, they beat him on his stomach . . . then they stomped on his stomach and his chest until he died and blood came out of his nose," AP quoted the man, identified only as Mohammed, as saying."

A child died? Women? Skimpy Clothes?
"ABU MUSAB al-ZARQAWI was accompanied by women who wore skimpy night clothing, and read magazines on current affairs and militant propaganda.
An inspection of the remains of the "safe house" in which the terrorist mastermind was killed also suggested that he and his companions — which an Iraqi army officer said included two women and an eight-year-old girl — lived with few luxuries.
...The US military had said the air strike killed six people, three males and three females."

Multiple sources on the news have yet again came out and said he was alive when they got there, and US officers killed him.
Oh well, I'm glad the morons that liked bush to begin with are dying to defend another country. Bush has been using a lot of BS like adding a will-be-most-vandalized
roject-in-US-History fence that spans across the border, and also saying he thinks people without interlocking parts shouldnt be able to declare they're living together. This is all to take talk away from how bad the economy is and how bad the war is going. Zarqawi's comes orgasmically to BUSH and CHENEY as they can flaunt it as some kind of accomplishment and emphasize terror, the main, and successful focus of their 2004 Campaign.
Bin Laden?
Go president Bush! Not. One crazy anti-american arab down. WIth 20,000 innocent civilians killed since the war started and countless other wounded, I think we have plenty more anti american Iraqis that are going to cause plenty of problems in the future.
So we found Saddam in a hole and blasted his two sons. Bin Laden is really the one that started "the war on terror" and we're not after him.
