Here is a quick link of quotes about Zarqawi, from the past.

www.democrats.org from 1 year ago:

"The only way our enemies can succeed is if we forget the lessons of September 11 ... if we abandon the Iraqi people to men like Zarqawi "

CNN, Decemeber 16, 2005

"CNN Report: al-Zarqawi Caught and Released"

News Hounds (We watch FOX so you don't have to)
July 13, 2005: "In a news break during Hannity & Colmes, Page Hopkins (whom I STILL can't tell apart from Laurie Dhue) reported that yet another "top aide" to Al-Zarqawi has been captured. Comment: It's amazing how often the US catches his top aides and the top aides of Osama bin Laden yet we can never snag the actual main men. "

Informed Comment (blog of a Professor of History at the University of Michigan)

Friday, December 16, 2005:"CNN is reporting that Iraqi authorities had arrested Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the Jordanian terrorist, in Ramadi, but mistakenly released him. Nic Roberts reported that Zarqawi had put on weight, grown a beard, removed a tattoo, and was using a Kurdish passport, making him unrecognizable to Iraqi security forces.

What I take away from this report is that if the Iraqis cannot recognize a Jordanian master terrorist, the American military has zero chance of fighting the Sunni Arab guerrilla movement in Iraq, because most of them don't even know enough Arabic to distinguish an Iraqi from a Jordanian accent. And if all it takes is putting on weight and growing a beard to disguise oneself, then we're in deep trouble."

These folks have doubts about al-Zarqawi's existence, or the role he played:

Project on Defense Alternatives "But the central role afforded Zarqawi, both in 2003 and now, is as tendentious as many of the other suppositions that undergird the administration's Iraq policy. The evidence offered to support the administration's assessment of Zarqawi as a driver of the Iraqi insurgency and top lieutenant of bin-Laden is reminiscent, in form and substance, of the spurious evidence regarding Iraq weapons of mass destruction. Indeed, some of the sources may be the same.

"

And in the same vein, the inimitable Daily Kos chimes in:

"It seems Bush's intelligence experts that were creating - er discovering - the Zarqawi audio tapes and creating - I mean intercepting Zarqawi's mail have decided it's time for the curtain call for Zarqawi.

Apparently, they noticed how played out and abused this Zarqawi propaganda had become. So, without claiming to have captured or to have killed him (since he was long-dead), they had to give a reason why there wouldn't be any more Zarqawi tapes. So they thought of a way to kill him off in the narrative, like writing an actor who has cancer out of the sitcom." [NOTE: see the hypertext link "Zarqawi is a hoax" on that page, too.]

To all the dimwit trolls, enemies of freedom, and assorted leftist fellow travelers:

Apologies are now being accepted at loading dock 4.

Thank you.

Then, we can use their own words like aluminum baseball bats on them.

Oh they are doing a bang up job all by themselves

I'm bookmarking to show the normal democrats what is really going on

Oh no! "It is unfortunate for you to focus on statements by a few people like Stark when we should be discussing where we go from here with our troops"..dem consultant on Fox says.

Silly us/sarcasm

Da$$hole's words caused him to lose his last election. Many of his voters never knew what a vile mouth he had until we got the word to them.

Their MSM doesn't like to print, televise or have on the radio the vile remarks of lunatics like Pete Stark.

Rush has shown us for years to use their own words to pummel and defeat them in elections.

Oh no! "It is unfortunate for you to focus on statements by a few people like Stark when we should be discussing where we go from here with our troops"..dem consultant on Fox says.

I can remember how we focus on the vile words uttered at a certain funeral to target these vile bastards.

This left wing lunatic knows that Stark's words will hurt the Rats this November and in 2008. His remarks are confirmation that we are on the right trail to document their vile words and use them like a smart JADM bomb on them.

Indeed!

Years ago someone wrote a great op ed about how it is time for these vile left wing boomers like the Clintoons to move off of center stage and let new people come in.

It is amazing re the differences between Conservative Boomers and the left wing boomers.

My son at least would classify as a boomer..and he is so conservative! I am blessed with conservatives on all sides of the family..No messy holiday dinner political tiffs!
