al-Zarqawi Dead, Mainstream Media Mourns
June 8th, 2006 at 7:15 am by Preston Taylor HolmesI woke up this morning, flipped on the tv, and there it was: al-Zarqawi DEAD.
Officials said the terror leader’s identity was confirmed by fingerprints, facial recognition, and known scars.
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki said Al-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 al-Zarqawi was “terminated.”
Zarqawi’s death came just six days after an audiotape was posted on the Internet, in which the Jordanian-born terrorist leader called on Sunnis to “confront” Shiites in Iraq.
The cowardly beheader has been turned into a greasy spot in the desert by the brave men and women of our armed forces. AMERICA: FUCK YEAH! Welcome to hell, Abu, you goat-raping half-a-man.
Must credit somebody else, so why not choose the Jawa Report?
UPDATE: Check out the video from Allah. Just kick ass. Great choice of song as well.
UPDATE 2: The Paleswinians are crying in their soup. If only their gay Arafat were here to hold them as they weep. They need a good car swarm to take away the heartache, methinks.

Read my mind. al-Reuters reminds us that not everyone is happy this morning and writing unattributed love poems to Zarq -
“Arab web sites reflected reverence and revulsion.
[...]
Others hailed Zarqawi as a martyr and a hero.
“The sky does not suffer from the death of a star … and there will be no sadness for you, Abu Musab, as your death is actually the wedding of a martyr. You will reside in paradise.”
Let’s call it a Shotgun Wedding and may he play the bride on his Hellbound Honeymoon!

I can’t wait for the Michael Moore documentary movie. Hollywood goes all out with flowers and a full orchestra, open weeping at the wake by all those inept ‘actors’ whose names I can’t remember. I do remember when there was art in Hollywood. Alas, that was long ago. Maybe the Rourke guy can play the pilot that hosed the Z-man.
