1 I'd be cautious believing any of the background chatter on how the US knew which house to obliterate at the exact instance Zarqawi was inside. Does anyone think the US would tell the truth? Isn't it interesting that the Jordanian, Iraqi and US governments put out how they provided the intelligence? The more doubt in the surviving al-Qaeda leadership, the more they'll suspect each other. That is a very good thing.

2 Does anyone think the US would tell the truth? Yea, Billions think that. As long as its not coming from CNN. (aka) The Crescent news network.

3 I remember it as the Clinton News Network back in the wild Bill era. I swear, Clinton could be staring out the window in the Oval office, CNN would break away for a live shot. Same network that brokered a deal with Saddam to not report his crimes in exchange for CNN access.

4 In Iraq, twenty-five million dollars will buy a lot of, um, well . . . what would it buy exactly?

5 Vinnie, Unashamed just took another big fat dump on your thread. It's quite sickening. Would you mind deleting it. As you can see, the Libs are going apeshit over Zarqawi getting killed. You'd think someone just killed their mom or somethng. They are quite simply TERRIFIED of any good news coming out of Iraq. Can you imagine in WW2 after our some victory against the Nazis the Republicans start downplaying it and saying how it'll make no real difference in the war? FDR would have had them arrested for sedition. Boy, times have changed. It just shows how these Libtards are more afraid of the GOP than Al Qaida.

6 Isn't it funny, if you believe the left, you wretched Americans are in iraq to slaughter and plunder their oil. However the leader of the supposed resistance against the wretched America, is so easily betrayed by the very victims of this American Imperialism and murderous plunder!! Now if all you conservatives could duck your heads, cover your ears, close your eyes tightly, and brace yourselves for the brain explosions over on the left.

7 Hi, I was listening to the World Tonight on BBC Radio 4 (UK), and they had a Washington Post editor on it claiming that Zarqawi was built up as a brandname and now his death is a problem for the US because this brandname cannot be used anymore, meaning that he wasn't as dangerous, his participation was deliberately blown up by the US. I was quite shocked and also because these claims went unchallenged by the presenter. Hettie

8 Hettie, don't be shocked. The media spent all this time complaining about Zarqawi (Zarqawi this and Zarqawi that) and now they're desperately trying to downplay his role. They've had access to informants of all stripes reporting to them in the green zone and now that there's a possibility they'll have fewer beheadings to report on they're scared of losing advertising. Oh, they'll still have IEDs to prattle on about, but that's not as juicy as a good beheading. And if al Qaeda changes their focus to Somalia, they'll have no access at all to news there. I think Zawahiri and/or bin Laden gave orders to someone within the organization to leak Zarqawi's whereabouts (or at least confirm the Jordanian's information) because they couldn't control him. I said on someone's blog last year, when Zawahiri wrote Zarqawi that letter chiding him about how beheadings were not likely to endear him to the Iraqi people, that they would likely try to get rid of him if he didn't stop -- and he didn't stop. He just quit distributing the films of it. Look at all the heads found in fruit boxes this week alone. I think Zawahiri and bin Laden are glad he's gone. He was hurting their mission.

9 Hey Vinnie, why aren't you threatening to ban all the lefturd trolls that shit all over this site, like you were crying to Rusty to ban me? I can't believe you're so chickenshit that you asked Rusty to ban me over my comment about unions. Really, how chickenshit it that? I made a comment based in truth, (unions were suggested by Marx in the Communist Manifesto after all, and you resorted to typical union thuggery by trying to get me banned; thank you for making my point for me. I hope plenty of regular viewers get to read this post before you delete it, as you almost certainly will. Now go cry to Rusty like the little bitch you are.

10 Enough of this ugly creep. Now let's get some more. Make Iraq the land of the flying turban. This they understand. OUTLAW ISLAM

11 Time to offer 50 million and a green card to whoever snitches of that goat fornicator Osama Bin Laden.

12 Your union comment had nothing to do with it, IM.

13 No, of course it had nothing to do with the union comment, which is why you jumped on it so quickly. It must have been all my vitriolic rants against our enemies that did it, while they are pretty much free to post their idiocy unimpeded. You punish your friends and ignore you enemies. Good dhimmi.

14 It's been a good past few days, that's for sure. Z gets a massive internal concusion and dies like a pig, IDF blows away a hamas animal named abu samhadana in gaza with a missle, the Jordanians arrest a relative of Z and an al jazeera journalist, Switzerland makes an arrest on a terrorist, Canada arrests a bunch of the scum, Iraq solidifies its government and I just read where a former islamic prison chaplain was popped on gun charges in NY. If this keeps up pretty soon the islamofacists are going to be relegated to only doing honor killings on their women for keeping the veil too low. The beer is on me today....

15 My thoughts on Leftist trolls that frequent this and other blogs: we wouldn't tolerate these assholes in our homes for one second and would literally knock their f****** teeth down their throats if they started spewing such sh**, so why tolerate them here? It's your blog though..

16 At the Democratic Underground website, users attempted to manipulate MSNBC's online poll to suggest that the mission to kill Zarqawi would be meaningless in the war in Iraq. Whether or not the death of Zarqawi will have a major impact on the war effort is beside the point. The efforts by liberals to manipulate a poll so as to beat down the morale of the American people and make them believe we can't win is revolting. There is a sickness that has infected the anti-war movement. Meanwhile, at another liberal website named Daily Kos, some liberals were outright upset that the military had chosen to kill a terrorist. "Bush's idea of justice is bombs falling out of the sky?" asked a user named "Justice." Another user named "ronik" expressed a similar sentiment: "If you agree with this killing, do you also agree with lynchings because people 'knew' the person was guilty and should be put to death? Also, do you support the death penalty? I don't, but at least those people have been put on trial. Why should it be different for this person?" Do these people not realize our nation is at war, and the enemy is attempting to kill our troops and eventually murder the rest of us here in the United States? Apparently not, because another Daily Kos member offered consolation about Zarqawi's death, opining that, "This too shall pass." http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=50572

17 "You punish your freinds" Now that's the pot calling the kettle black. How are you so different Improbulus? Seems to me as long as you get to do whatver the hell you like you're fine. But when someone asks simple a favor. Like repecting those who's platform you use. A favor for those who have to tolerate your anti-trolls and attacks on ourselves for tolerating/defending your ass. You act like they just pulled your nails out. Nope no loyalty or sense of reciprocation there. So who's the whiney bitch?

18 Oh and UP is back on due to a tech issue. Same one that brought super long crap troll back.

19 I have not been seeing a lot of Christian love in the comments section lately, you know the "love the sinner,hate the sin" stuff. As for the libs going apeshit, any links ? I always love to see over reaction.

20 John Ryan: Linked on LGF Yesterday: Nutroots reaction from this link, which was said to contain to much insider information: inside taskforce 145 Using intelligence derived in part by an Arab-American soldier in TF 145, the task force obtained a time frame for when Zarqawi was due to travel down a stretch of highway along the Tigris River. This allowed a task force of Rangers and Delta operators to set up an elaborate ambush. But according to special operations sources familiar with the event, Zarqawi was late. PLEASE NOTE: this was from a much earlier operation to capture him! This was not the operation in which he was ultimately killed. It's possible Task Force 145 penetrated their group.

21 Trackback me no linkee.

22 I didn't even know Maxie was banned. I was wondering what happened to him. Did Rusty get tired of his thorough cursing of fellow liberal posters? Also what union was he talking about. Please explain Howie. Thanks

23 Vinnie: You should never have told the world you are a government worker and a union member. I realize it is possible for such to be normal. However, remember, most of your cohorts are democractic moonbats who do not understand where money comes from. Another thought for you I personally know that there are thousands of ex government workers who joined the union. Big brother doesn't like it.
