Congratulations...

...to the U. S. Special Forces and the U. S. Air Force on their killing of al-Zarqawi. Next time Israel targets some leader of some terrorist organization and takes them out with a single bullet, keep your traps shut, world, about political asassination. It doesn't matter if it's a nine millimeter or a five hundred pounder, asassination is asassination. If we can do it with impunity, so can Israel. Meanwhile, Shrub, I appreciate your subdued tone. Even a broken clock is right twice a day and, if you stay the course long enough, you're bound to have a success or two. Why did you have to try to spin it, though, contradicting your own Pentagon on it being a joint operation?

The world is a better place today. Tom Delay is no longer in the Congress and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is dead. The world is a worse place today. We don't know who the next al-Zarqawi is but one thing is certain, there's another one out there, ready to attack us whenever and whereever possible. And for some of that, we have Bush's failed foreign policy to thank.
