Democrats Vow to Fight On After Zarqawi Loss
When humor works best to serve up the news, Scott Ott reports:
(2006-06-09) — As Blackberry devices and cell phones on Capitol Hill hummed with news of the death of terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi yesterday, Congressional Democrats vowed that despite the loss they would fight on in “the war on the war on terror.”
“Zarqawi will be missed because he put a human face on the futility of the illegal U.S. occupation of Iraq,” said one unnamed lawmaker, who assured a reporter that “Democrats are still optimistic. We’re still looking for the silver lining.”
Rep. John Murtha, D-PA, a former Marine and vocal critic of the military occupation of Iraq, immediately denounced “the Zarqawi massacre†and suggested that the F-16 pilot who dropped the bombs had snapped under pressure and murdered the al Qaeda leader “in cold blood.â€
Sen. Arlen Specter, R-PA, demanded an explanation of the secret intelligence gathering techniques and surveillance used to find Mr. Zarqawi.
“I want to give the president an opportunity to explain the program to the Congress and to assure the American people that nobody’s civil rights were violated,†said Sen. Specter.
Meanwhile, Democrat National Committee Chairman Howard Dean and former presidential candidate Al Gore observed a moment of silence as they heard of the passing of Mr. Zarqawi, a fellow Internet pioneer.

If any terrorists were to read and believe your blog they would think that 1/2 of the people in the United States were rooting for their side. Stop trying to convince them that is what democrats want.

Meh. what else would you expect from a vehemently right-wing republican website? I’ve come to expect nothing less than ideology-driven propaganda from both the left and right. It’s a pitched war of words, and no quarter is given by either side. I say let them duke it out, and when they all die and go to Hell (mormonism is the correct religion according to South Park), I’ll be there, waiting and laughing.
