It’s time to Zarq Osama…
Let me be the first to say several (controversial) things:
1. Militant Leader? Bull. This punk was a Islamic fundamentalist fascist pig faced piece of human debris – good riddence and THANK YOU TO OUR SOLDIERS, SPECIAL OPS AND AIRMEN WHO WERE INVOLVED.
2. I love the new term in our lexicon: “Zarq-ed”.
3. We have every right to celebrate (this particular islamo-fascist monster is personally responsible for the deaths of numerous Americans and hundreds of others – perhaps many more).
4. He should have been slowly dismembered in front of a video screen playing Nick Berg’s beheading. The recording of Zarqawi’s dismemberment should have been sent to Al Jizera, et al for immediate release.
5. The President should have winked into the camera and said in closing:”Hey Osama, you’re next.”
Nick Berg’s father (who is a pacifist) was not happy with the killing of Zarqawi. The interview linked above illustrates an amazing attitude. On one level, Mr. Berg can (and he would be the only one), in the Christian tradition, forgive Zarqawi. I would still find it irrational, but he could do that and I have no argument with Mr. Berg on that level – it was his son, not mine.
The rest of us not only do not have any moral or religious obligation to forgive Zarqawi, but we can righteously applaud the death of this madman – the world is a better, safer, place today then it was yesterday.
Mr. Berg is obviously a very troubled man.

Anyone seeing the connection? Zarqawi in Iraq? I thought the lefties were saying there’s no connection between bin Laden, Zarqawi and Iraq? Earth to Lefties–Earth to Lefties.
