Happy happy joy joy, and the left is stuck on stupid.
Where's my virgins at?
Terrorist and beheader maniac Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi is dead thanks to a US airstrike. Fox News:
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki said Zarqawi was killed along with seven aides Wednesday evening at around 6:15 p.m. local time in a bombing raid on a building in a remote area 30 miles northeast of Baghdad in Diyala province.
Loud applause broke out as al-Maliki, flanked by U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad and U.S. Gen. George Casey, the top commander in Iraq, made the announcement at a news conference in Baghdad Thursday that Zarqawi was "terminated."
Mark in Mexico says that, "All in all, probably a bigger day for the Iraqi people than the day Saddam was captured or the day that his two maniac sons were killed."
Congrats to the US troops in Iraq.
Michelle Malkin has a round-up.
Soon after Saddam was captured in Iraq, Donald Rumsfeld gave an interview to, I think, 60 Minutes. As usual the questions were "stuck on stupid" and attempted to portray Hussein's capture as less significant that the rest of us believed. It was absolute nonsense, and Rumsfeld hit back, and hard, making the interviewer look positively stupid. Over at the foreign policy think-tank known as Daily Kos, it's apparent Al-Zarqawi's death will be greeted much the same - by downplaying its importance ("the contribution it may make to the development of a democratic Iraq at peace with itself is uncertain at best"; "Killing the leaders doesn't really seem to matter that much in this sort of conflict. Others just pop up to replace them"; "this makes such good election campaign fodder for the Americans, doesn't it? Expect a rise in those Bush poll numbers for sure"; "Beware of fairy-tale propaganda. Trust nothing that they say" etc.).

Hoo-ah!
Put his head on a pike in the central square of Baghdad. Do the same for his seven "aides."
Now watch the MSM try to minimize this victory by pointing out that Osama bin Laden is still alive. If I could pick one to take out first, it would have been Al-Zarqawi based on which one was actually doing more damage. About all Osama is doing is skulking from cave to cave somewhere making tapes for al Jazeera.
