jogar84 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Al Qaeda's #1 man in Iraq was confirmed dead this morning from U.S. air strikes. http://www.usnews.com/usnews/news/articles...08/8zarqawi.htm He purportedly controlled 11-12 percent of attacks in Iraq. Al Qaeda actually comprises only 10 percent of the opposition. 90 percent Iraqis. Good to know he's dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean O Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I won't truly believe it until I see his head on a pike, but if it is true, tremendous. Not that I think it'll make the slightest difference (how much does it take to say "go blow something up over there"?), but at least we've shown we can eventually reach goals we set. A small but important step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJEagles Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 It's a good first step, but lord kows, there is just someone else out there that will take his place. I suspect his death will rile Al Quedia, and another horrible attack by them will take place in Iraq. The violence over there will never end.

D-Unit Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 even though killing him is a good thing, it could just provoke even more violence, stemming from retaliation of al-zarqawi's death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kriegz Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Amen. Let's reason with them? while they kill thousands of innocent Americans....Do they not realize they have parades when Americans die? They're goal is to cause terror, you can't just make a deal because terror isn't something tangible you can trade. Once they feel that thier religion is offended they arn't gonna make peace.

NYM Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 And the funny thing is, they do this all for religion. These people are radical muslims. They take everything the Koran says and turn it into messages of why they should kill people. This problem all orginated a long time ago. Most terrorists in the Middle East are Sunis and Shites. It all happened when the prophet Muhammade (who was a very religious respectful person to all life and religion) died. [i could be wrong, and if I am, it's the opposite way around for the following information on the Sunnis and Shities] Whem Muhammad died the Sunnis were a group of people who believed that decendents of Muhammad should rule. The Shities on the other hand belived that local people should be leader (democracy). Now great tension grew between them because both thought the other was wrong. They started persecuting each other and here we are today, still blowing each other up. It seems like the people in the Middle East are fighting a crusade against us, while Bush is just going for oil. "Why cant we be friends, why cant we be friends.............."

fred13 Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Promise young confused men eternal life in heaven with 45 virgin wives Actually, Its 4 wives, and that is promised to all islamic men, radical or not. And all women in Islam are supposed to be virgins untill they marry. I have tremendous respect for the Islamic faith who actually UNDERSTAND the Koran, but I agree that the ones responsible for terrorest attacks in The United States and around the world should be punished. As a matter of fact, just now in Canada (my neighborhood to be exact) 17 islamic men were arrrested for holding 3 tonnes of explosives. It was even on CNN if anyone saw it.

HBR_Rocket Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 My favorite music lines is from the Toby Keith song: "The Angry Amercian" 1-We lit up your world like the 4th of July 2- Uncle Sam put your name at the top of his list, and the Statue of Liberty is shaking her fist, and the Eagle will fly....... We as Amercians should never have to bow down to anyone, we have fought, bleed, died, and spent countless time and energy to preserve the right we all call FREEDOM. WE have been doing this since we were ruled by others as a startup nation. It's time everyone takes notice we say what we mean and mean what we say, so to end this, let me quote the same Toby Keith song listed above... "We'll stick as boot up your as- it's the Amercian way" WE defend those that are helpless and no other chicken neck country is afraid to step in because it might ruffle some featers, but our Eagles feathers are slick and strong, we built it that way.

Rocket Did you know that it was a Canadian Prime Minister (Lester B. Pearson) who came up with the idea for UN Peacekeepers during the Suez Canal Crisis? (he won a nobel peace prize for it). And that Pakistan has the highest number of Peacekeepers. So just because the USA is the only country to use Military Force in foreign land, doesnt mean they are the only ones there. Were were the Americans during the Genocide in Rwanda? Ever heard of Romeo Delair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jogar84 Posted June 9, 2006 Author Share Posted June 9, 2006 Well this is good news for the troubled Bush administration. I'm glad Bush didnt embarass himself by saying "Mission Accomplised" or anything. In fact, he's taking a practical stance on this. Its not like he's high fiving everyone at the White House. On the other hand, people are saying more Zarqawis will emerge. If thats the case, these people are sorely missing the point. It would really be stupid for them to continue this sensless jihad. The U.S. military is pretty damn good, despite what the media puts out there (as if we are actually losing the war). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big shmooz Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Did you know that it was a Canadian Prime Minister (Lester B. Pearson) who came up with the idea for UN Peacekeepers during the Suez Canal Crisis? (he won a nobel peace prize for it) Alot of good it did. When Egypt told them to leave, they left without a fight. Then Egypt prepared to attack Israel & the UN just sat around. In my opinion the U.N. is one big joke in that it never manages to do that which it was established for, & the US is foolish for paying dues (the main funds that uphold the U.N.) that support it.

bluenotebacker Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Many wars throughout the history of the world have been started because of religion. Personally, I think organized religion is just brainwashing. We want to eradicate zealous Muslim terrorists, sure, but by doing so, we've empowered the zealous right wing Christian Republicans to feel like they can do whatever the heck they want to do with this country. Supposedly OUR country. Not when it's a small group of asshats dictating what the majority of us can and can't do with our lives, bodies, and minds.
