Just saw that. Good deal. Hope it was him tho

I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

The terrorists within Iraq aren't as monolithic and powerful as the liberal media wishes they were. They're very fractured, and I believe that Zowie's demise was due in part to most of the bad guys getting fed up with him.

From the Strategy Page:

Myths, Mosques and Iraq
June 2, 2006: A primary breeding ground for Islamic terrorism is the 1,359 mosques that Saudi Arabia has established, at an average cost of $160,000 each, throughout the world over the past few decades. In the West, where costs are higher, millions of dollars were spent on individual "Islamic Centers." Since the 1970s, Saudi Arabia has spent billions of dollars to spread their form of conservative Islam (Wahabbism). Most of this effort was directed as countries that already had a majority Moslem population. There, the Wahabbi clerics often ran into problems with other Islamic sects, which Wahabbis consider, to various degrees, heretical. That, of course, was nothing compared to the Wahabbi attitude towards non-Moslems (infidels). One thing the Saudis learned early on was to not say the same things to infidels that they said to fellow Moslems. Thus English language messages from Wahabbis, about what they are doing with all this missionary work, stress the need to unify the Islamic community, and improve religious education. But the messages to the people using all those mosques are very different. Here there is much talk of hatred for the infidels, and the need to fight, and destroy these enemies of Islam. With this in mind, it's less surprising that so many Islamic terrorists have some connection with these mosques.

Naturally, since September 11, 2001, the Wahabbi mosques in Western nations have come under greater scrutiny. Many actual, and potential, terrorists have been caught as a result. In most cases, the people running the Wahabbi mosques are not involved, although the sermons preached at these centers are full of religious and racial hatred. The clerics quote the Koran to defend themselves against charges of incitement to violence. These mosques serve as natural gathering places for those inclined to Islamic terrorism. Time and again, arrested terrorists are found to have networked at these mosques. The Saudi subsidized clerics at these mosques denounce Islamic terrorism to the police and the media, but display a more favorable attitude from the pulpit.

Over the last few years, especially since al Qaeda began setting off bombs in Saudi Arabia, the Saudis, and the Islamic Charities they work with, have urged the clerics in the subsidized mosques to cool it with the pro- terrorist talk. Saudi Arabia refuses to cut off the financial support, insisting, with some degree of accuracy, that most of what the mosques do is positive. Most of the mosques also provide social services to immigrants. But some of those migrants are enthusiastic supporters of Islamic terrorism. The local police make the most of the situation, and plant informers inside. Increasingly, these informants are Moslem migrants themselves, turned off by the continued Islamic terrorism, and the growing tendency to target Moslems as well as infidels. Iraq is often mentioned, and the endless terrorist attacks against fellow Moslems there.

Meanwhile, there have been few successful Islamic terror attacks in Europe. There aren't many arrests of terrorists planning attacks either. The idea that battle hardened Islamic terrorists are coming back from Iraq is another myth. Few European Moslems have gone off to be holy warriors in Iraq, and most who did, died there. Most of those who returned, came back disillusioned. As a practical matter, the Islamic terrorists are getting their technical information off the Internet, and from other wannbes they meet at the local, Saudi sponsored, Wahabbi run mosque.

They tried to, but there was a mix up with the booking, you know, a junior took the call and fogot to put in the book. Oh how we laughed when they all turned up at the same time as little Johnies Bar mitzvah... there was some right red faces and no mistake.

Zarqawi was a major figurehead. No one believes this will stop the violence, but this is a great victory nonetheless.

He wont be the last. Wiht all the sites where these asshoels have been training future "martyrs" we have a long way to go. I really think we are going to have to kill millions of these people before there will be any peace.

Eventually the tribal areas where all the Islamic schools are in Pakistan will have to go as well. Oh and lets not forget the ACTUAL attackers of 9/11 our good "friends" the Saudi's.

I just watched the video of the bombing and it's crazy how many civilians must have been destroyed from the blast.. The explosions were huge!

I'm all about getting the mad guy, but it's really a shame how many iraqi civilians are getting killed by non-iraqis to accomplish this goal.

[Amazon 7]

According to the news.. they also got his "spiritual" advisir.. and a woman and a child.... You can bet they were not totally innocent to be able to get that close to the intended target.


I think the ole... you are known by the company you keep..... cliche is really harsh when you have friends like Zarqawi.

[tbrown 26]

Oh well, at least it's a "feel good" story, a little "Texas barbecue".

Civilians on the street probably knew who he was, knew his comings and goings, and turned a blind eye. Guilty by complicity. Maybe one of them should have taken him out personally, collected $25 Mil. and gone to Disney World.

Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi is Dead

I think that is great, and a step forward. But it is a very small step. The problem is so deep that killing 1,000 people will not make it go away. They will just replace them and build more.

The problem is with religion. Some will kill for money, some will kill for glory, but those that kill for "god" are the worse. Religions pray on the poor. People with low standards of living are willing to die as long as they have the promise of riches in the next life.

The only solution would be to raise the standard of living so that young people are no longer willing to die for "god". Thats pretty much never going to happen.

The next solution would be extermination. AKA Cruisades part II. The first one did not go well. I doubt this one would be much better.

Containment, and border protection. About the only thing that will work, and it will only work on a limited scale. People will always break through.

Extreme Muslims will not just stop. And you can't kill them all. And you can't ignore them.

Its a clash of cultures.. and until they are willing to let other people.... like us terrible infidels.. then it will go on and on.. hence the 30 million dead or so that will be needed to put an end to it...

Until EVEYONE gets tired of the killing NOONE will sit down and talk about how to end it.

[gremlin 0]

The real clash of the cultures is yet to come. Why do you think that the Chinese do not want any sanctions against Iran? Because Iran supplies China with all of its oil. Look at the toleration of the chinese for people of any religion, Buddists, Christians or Falun Gong. And consider their aggression towards Taiwan. Clash of cultures... you ain't seen nothing yet.

how many american soldiers were killed yesterday? or last week ? or over the last month ? it's not a victory.... you're still losing, this just was a small blip that meant you were losing slightly less... but you'll be back to normal tomorrow and you'll be losing soldiers left, right and centre again

so, savour your tiny victory

Predictable response... He was in a safe house in some neighborhood so everyone in all the surrounding houses in that area deserve to be killed too... that's a little bit ridiculous. I bet that that there were kids, young adults, adults, grandparents all over the area that was hit... not some network of 4 or 5 safehouses, but an entire neighborhood/community of innocent people killed. Watch the video, it's pretty fucked up.
