You better move fast. Chuck Schumer is cleaning his sniper rifle right now and he's got a message for you and all your fascist friends. Right. Between. The. Eyes.

You cannot say "killing Zarqawi probably won't help." Because, you still have to be able to say "invading Iraq moved the troops we would have had in Afghanistan, and we otherwise would have killed Osama."

Your way the shell game falls down. If killing a leader doesn't mean much, you can't get on W for the Osama is still alive thing.

Better to go with Ty's "Zarqawi should have been killed 4 years ago." If someone points out that Osama was offered up to us by Sudan 10 years ago, but Clinton had a boner that day, so he couldn't act on THAT offer, well sit back and let Ty get some blogs-answers going.

edited by Not Bob because he can.

Let me clarify: I don't think that killing/capturing Osama would eliminate all terrorism, either. But he planned 9-11, and (unless I am missing something), Zarqawi wasn't involved in it.

Is the death of Zarqawi going to disrupt terrorist and insurgent activity in Iraq? Sure. I mean, I'm not an expert, but I'd agree that it probably will. Will it eliminate it? No. Is it a good thing (in the sense of retribution, justice, etc.)? Sure.

Sorry, but is today's reason for the war in Iraq that we were going in to get Zarkawi, like the reason for invading Afghanistan was to get Osama? Does this mean the Mission has been Accomplished? I'm just trying to keep up so I can celebrate when we win.

We win when we get the Iraqi oil spigot going and gas price dropping. We're holding back Iraqi oil production right now, or are lying about how much oil we're sucking out of Iraq for some odd reason I can't figure out right now.

So, elling reporters that the government is using warrantless wiretapping on phone calls is a gross breach of state secrets, but telling reporters that we have an informant in the "inner circle" of Zarqawi's group is a-ok.

According to a Pentagon official, the Americans finally got one. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because details of the raid are classified, said that an Iraqi informant inside Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia provided the critical piece of intelligence about Mr. Rahman's meeting with Mr. Zarqawi. The source's identity was not clear — nor was it clear how that source was able to pinpoint Mr. Zarqawi's location without getting killed himself.

"We have a guy on the inside who led us directly to Zarqawi," the official said.

In a news release on Thursday morning, American military commanders hinted strongly that a member of Mr. Zarqawi's inner circle had pointed the way. "Tips and intelligence from Iraqi senior leaders from his network led forces to al-Zarqawi," the release said.

Why, by the way, was that big picture of Zarqawi's head placed in a gilded frame? I'm glad he's dead and all, but are we hanging that sucker in the East Room or something?

We're holding it back? I thought it was the guys who keep blowing up the pipelines to maintain the extraordinarily profitable fuel tanker truck smuggling ring they have going over there.

On the bright side, Iraqis are demonstrating an entreprenurial spirit that I'm sure makes Hank proud. And no estate tax!

You fucking trogolodyte, you've no damn class. You don't hang that sort of thing on a damned easel, like its a pie chart of last quarter's revenue. This isn't a boxed wine and cheetos moment. Its the War on Terror, damnit. USA! USA! USA!

You're right, we should pull out and put Hussein back. Remember how cheap clinton had gotten the fuel in the jetliner's tanks on 9/11?

The best thing about you is your utter contempt for reasoned argument. I nakedly bleat the absurd, unable to create any semblance of logical response out of it. You manage to say the offensively ludicrous, yet structure it in such a way that, upon initial cconssideration, if you read really wuick, you could mistake it for a coherent, sensible retort.

A master, you are. Not just a "well trained pupil" as so many others here.

Al Gore's been the wrong man at the wrong place and time his whole life. If he didn't look like a newscaster and have a father with clout, he'd have been a real estate agent in some suburb.

His greatest achievment are his very fuckworthy daughters, which says as much about their hotness as it does about his political career.

Maybe, just maybe, they're lying. If so, this is a brilliant move. All of his leutenants will be fighting each other looking for the mole in no time. Even if they quickly come to a consensus and pick a patsy, that's one fewer terrorist in the organization. With a little luck, though, this could effectively destroy the organization he built. Which isn't to say it'll stop terrorism in Iraq. But it might slow it down.

The second dancer in the Duke lacrosse case told police early on that allegations of rape were a "crock" and that she was with the accuser the entire evening except for a period of less than five minutes.
The second dancer, Kim Roberts, made that statement when she was first contacted by Durham police one week after the party where the first escort service dancer said she was gang raped by three men.

Roberts' statements and notes of the detectives in the case were made public today in a court filing by lawyers for one of the defendants, Reade Seligmann, 20, of Essex Falls, N.J.

I am really beginning to like this board. It is so angry and violent! I am not sure why I never ever came here before. The Fashion Board is for pussies. Um, I guess I should have known that. Anyhoo, greeting Politics Board! My new home.
