Democrats call Zarqawi killing a stunt
The Washington Times ^ | 4:09 p.m., June 8, 2006 | Amy Fagan

Posted on 06/08/2006 2:56:43 PM PDT by seamus

Some Democrats, breaking ranks from their leadership, today said the death of terrorist leader Abu Musab Zarqawi in Iraq was a stunt to divert attention from an unpopular and hopeless war.

"This is just to cover Bush's [rear] so he doesn't have to answer" for Iraqi civilians being killed by the U.S. military and his own sagging poll numbers, said Rep. Pete Stark, California Democrat. "Iraq is still a mess -- get out."

No, the Killing of Vince Foster and Ron Brown. Now those were stunts.

Not to mention all the Arkancides! (thanks to the fellow freeper who turned me on to that saying)

You mean Stark's jumped the shark?

At this point, most of the Democrat leadership has put on the waterskis.

I really, really hate it when we sink to the left's level of just making stuff up.

So do I. Thanks for clearing things up.

Here is one American who--I think--laments the death of Zarqawi. Brad Odland has threatened, that's right...threatened conservatives by stating, "Hey conservatives...I am watching YOU" while he posted the following at DU:

http://journals.democraticunderground.com/LeftHander/7

There, he says, in reference to conservatives, "War is the goal." That's right, according to Mr. Odland, you conservatives started and perpetuate war.

Please email Brad Odland at bodland@sbcglobal.net and let him know your thoughts. Since he states, "I am watching YOU," please let him know we are watching him, too. He lives in Waukesha, Wisconsin, United States. One of his home sites is http://www.blogger.com/profile/3020080

I'd sure like to see what the modern day Moynihan has to say; I speak, of course, of Representative Cynthia McKinney. I'd also like to get the esteemed opinion of Representative William Jefferson, Democrat, Louisiana.

"That's like saying to a doctor . . ."

Yes, or like saying "mission accomplished" as someone else commented on a thread.

There's a lesson to be learned (or rather re-learned). Some people just look at the short opening statement or soundbite and evaluate it out of context, and others (like me in this particular instance) too quickly take those evaluations without checking it out for themselves. It pays to go back to the source and read what was actually said or done and see it in context.

Everyone at the DNC are wearing Black Armbands and have declared a week of mourning over their tragic loss! And that was just the Bilbray win.

Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters

Maybe the Defense Dept. should issue a daily body count of the number of terrorists killed, and the number captured. The only good terrorist is dead terrorist. We should be killing them even faster.

The strategy they are using has a hidden component.

The MSM and their followers know that we must fix the mess before we pass the baton. That is what a war is for.

They want us to get out prematurely in order to leave a mess.

One that can be blamed on the previous administration, and the Socialists(sp? democrats)politicians will promise to 'fix' things.

Which they would never do. Fixing things takes money , and they sure can't waste it on silly crap like that. It needs to go in their FREEZER disguised as CHICKEN.

But....PROMISE to fix things? You, betcha! Democrat (sp?Socialist) politicians will sell you the world for a song. (as long as that song is worth a mill or two.)

Kennedy said it best (and I believe he pimped it anyway), when he said "it's not what your country can do for you, it's what you can do for your country".

Nice statement. Depends on your point of view. It sounds like a socialist-minded impression of the United States, to me.

Clinton promised to fix things. In the demo/soc (easier) philosphy that meant the same as organized crimes use of the word 'shakedown'. More of the "hey,,,,just because the President is poppin' and roastin' virgins like Muhammed (sp?), it is none of your business, it's what you need to do for us" speeches, and promise to fix the wild-eyed right-wing activists (that we have had under our thumb the whole time), while totally botching everything up. Then covering up.

The current Administration (call it what you will). "Failure is not an option."

Most Wanted Killed.(Zarquawi)
Results.

I rest my case.

TRANSLATION:

If we were in power, this would have been setup as a stunt.
We would have had cameras, directors, makeup crew (like we did for the Palistinian conflict). PALLYWOOD we call it. Just makin' movies.....

P.S.

We're gonna make a movie of the beach scene. (since we have so much spare footage). Suggestions for role of 'crying girl running across beach'???? It's gonna be a blockbuster.

The moonbats are so concerned how AZ died.
Was he shot, was he kicked or stomped on when he was down?
I can't believe it.

I know what team they're rooting for.
