p>I do not believe this al Zarqwai bullsh**, because it is all too convenient. It's another wave of propaganda from the Bush cabal. He was likely killed years ago, or is still alive. Something smells rotten. br> -- "Liberalmuse," a poster on Democratic Underground /p>

Just as the American public begins to look into Haditha, this happens.

I'm going to be interested as to how Bush's approval rating changes, as well as how long we've known where this guy was.

p>I'd like to think that it was just a coincidence, but it would be valuable to know all the facts. br> -- "Imagine1989," a poster on Democratic Underground /p> /blockquote> br> One of the most interesting discussions I read was on the Democratic Underground blog. A brave soul posited that it was good that Zarqawi was dead because he was killing American GIs. The poor person was attacked, called brainwashed, was told he was living in fantasyland and was told numerous times to "wake up."

Now, maybe these folks aren't representative of other Democrats. So let's see some who are.

John Kerry, the party's nominee for president in 2004 (can't get more representative than that), said, "Our troops have done their job in Iraq, and they've done it valiantly. It's time to work with the new Iraqi government to bring our combat troops home by the end of this year."

Well, at least he believes Zarqawi (a) existed, and (b) was killed. But did he really say that our job in Iraq was finished? Yep, it's Miller Time. Mission Accomplished. Amazing. I didn't realize we'd fought a war for three years to kill Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
