Well aren't you a special little piece of work.
Rumsfeld: 42 countries participating in Iraq.
What a crappy attitude you have.
man, they are in a real hissy fit over there in du land....
I heard Berg's father this morning...Like Cindy Sheehan, he's certifiable and belongs in a home with padded cells.
oh ye of little faith!
Let not your heart be troubbled. God is in control, and this is the beginning of great and mighty things... imho
Rumsfeld: As the weather improves, this is the time the Taliban in Afghanistan get more active.
Oh, how I would love to saw his head off! (Assuming it's still attached.)
I am just listening to Rummy, not watching him. It sounds to me like he is a bit emotional, like his voice was about to break a couple of times. It wouldn't surprise me.
I forgot it was Zarqawi that offed Nick Berg..
Morning...did I miss something?
Seriesly...this is HUGH! Hoorah to our brave troops and their CiC. Just be ready for the Left to take up the side of the terrorists...apparently Michael Berg already has. Expected.
My wardrobe has changed. The tie with Old Glory on it will be worn today. The resident leftie at work can just deal with it.
Great news. But he'll be replaced. And more of the same old, same old.
Meet the new boss; same as the old boss.

You're right about that. I believe the President and his generals and the leadership in Iraq are well aware, as are those of us with at least half a brain. Only the radical Dems and the goofballs out there are saying we can bring the troops home.
But at the very least, it's nice to have one less terrorist to deal with.
Grassroots Democrats weighing in on several popular liberal web sites Thursday morning said that they were troubled by reports that al Qaeda's top operational terrorist, Abu Musab al Zarqawi, had been killed in a U.S. air strike.
Reacting to the news, one visitor to the Daily Kos complained that using military force to kill Zarqawi "violates everything my America stands for."
"It violates the rule of law and invokes the rule of force in what should be a criminal, not a military, matter."
Another Daily Kos'er was irked because he thought the news would benefit President Bush:
"No doubt Karl Rove will have the Sock Puppet President acting as if he personally dropped the bomb that killed that jackass," he wrote. "But other than a couple of photo ops of Bush looking cocky, it does nothing because two more tin-plated Zarqawi's will pop up."
A third Kos poster suggested that there was little difference between the top al Qaeda terrorist and the leader of the free world, writing: "Now [that] we are rid of one murderous tyrant - how about the removal of another one-believed hiding in a safe-house at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue?"
Over at the Democratic Underground, reaction to news of Zarqawi's death was also negative:
"Convenient too that this would happen now," complained one DU'er: "Guess we should just all forget about that Haditha mess, the fact that we are approaching 2,500 dead and the fact that our economy is in big trouble."
Another DU poster said that killing the al Qaeda chief really wasn't such a big deal, insisting: "Zarqawi was a fringe group of al Qaeda, and definitely NOT responsible for the bulk of the insurgency and civil war now occurring in Iraq. Any gains that they hope to receive will be short-lived when reality strikes home."

Code Orange hissy fit or Code Red?
Well, HI, Stranger! Long time no see.
Yes, it IS a wonderful day. It's late afternoon here and there is still jubilation in the air.
Iraq is a happy place today.
Since May 10, 2006....
Always show up just to urinate on a thread?
If Murtha the Pig had HIS way, wouldn't Al Zarqawi still be alive?
They're insane! They've let their hatered for George Bush drive them right over the edge.
