Was the killing of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi a good thing?

Not according to MSM. Instead of praising the death of this terrorist who is responsible for killing many innocent civilians and U.S. military men and women, the MSM is trying to spin this story into a case of military abuse, rather than military success.

CBS: Was Al-Zarqawi Beaten After Bombing?

NBC: Witness Says U.S. Troops Beat Al-Zarqawi After Bombing

ABC: Iraqi Raises Questions on al-Zarqawi Death

Un-f*cking-believable.

1. Perhaps it is good he died, can you imagine what it would be like putting him in a Civvie court of law?

   Just look at what they did with Moussaui, essentially trying to excuse or make excuses for his action that he had a terrible childhood, that he was beaten, that he was abused and THAT is why or what led him to his ations….

   Can you imagine what excuses the media and courts would make for Zarqawi?

2. Just when you think the MSM can’t get any lower, they do something like this. Then you think, now they really can’t get any lower. But you’re quickly shown to be a fool, as they manage to stoop even lower.

4. Like beating a man who just took two successive hits from five hundred pounders would make a differnce anyway, take my word for it, by the time the troops got there, nothin’ much left to beat. He was certainly deaf with painfully ringing ears and suffering from severe concussion injuries. Severe.

5. Tigerhawk Was Right …

   … and so was I. First Tigerhawk.Speculation alertThe same question came up early in the Iraq war. Surgeons wondered why soldiers with body army and no serious penetrating injuries were dying from roadside bombs. The answer turned out to be

6. Here are some other interesting snippits. There’s NO DOUBT a concerted effort to thwart the war in Iraq. CNN anchors looked like they all had hangovers Thursday morning after the reports came in on Al-Zarqawi’s death. I suggest we expose them to the world (as blogs are doing) and don’t take them too personally. It hurts the brain to imagine these people are serious. They’re either liars or a******s, or both, I suspect. We can’t let their stupidity get us down. The buzzards.

   
   CNN
   : “AL-ZARQAWI ‘BETRAYED’ Betrayed terrorist died in ‘safe house’ Terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was betrayed from inside the al Qaeda in Iraq group he led in the insurgency fight against coalition troops, the U.S. military says.”

   
   CNN
   : “Al-Zarqawi’s death is good news, but Iraq’s problems will persist”

   
   CNN
   , Anderson Cooper’s 360 blog; “Bin Laden might find relief in al-Zarqawi’s death”

   
   BBC News
   : “The death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is obviously a major success for the new Iraqi government and the US, but it remains to be seen if this marks the beginning of the end of the insurgency.”
   Milissa Rehberger, MSNBC anchor: “I just want to take a pause for just a second to bring everyone up to date on who Abu Musab al Zarqawi really was, other then the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq who was killed in an air strike this morning. We are told that he had a troubled childhood where he grew up in Jordan, that he dropped out of high school, that when he was 20-years-old, he went to Afghanistan and joined Al Qaeda.”

   
   NPR
   , National Public Radio website: “Zarqawi’s Death May Weaken, Not End, Insurgency: A symbolic strike by U.S. forces may change little about the situation on the ground. Zarwqawi was certainly a charismatic leader and masterful propagandist, with frequent Web postings of his speeches and highly produced recruitment videos.”
