Zarqawi's death, a cause for jape!

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is now dead. He has assumed room temperature. His soul now wafts along like a speck of ash on the furnace hot winds of hell as he drifts from one torment to another, each more horrible than the one before. And so it will be for all eternity.
This pleasant thought made me want to look around the blogosphere and see what folks were saying about the news. Here are a couple of the funnier posts.

First from TMH’s Bacon Bits:

Al Qaeda’s Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is dead – the victim of a US military action near Baghdad. The reporting and reaction of this news is yet to hit full stride in America – in short, how it will be spun is only to be conjectured.

What follows is mere conjecture (and early morning mischief)

The New York Times: Bush fails to nab Bin Laden again.

Hillary: I talked to these people in Baghdad personally and I am pleased that their lives will have less of a burden now, as I promised them.

Murtha: this is a good time to redeploy the troops –had Bush done this when I demanded earlier – we would have accomplished this sooner.

Kerry: I voted for this action, before I voted against it.

Pelosi: There still are millions of terrorists to take his place –Bush has made this worse than ever.

Reid: I never took boxing tickets from Zarqawi –honest!

Teddy Kennedy: So much messier than drowning.

John (Maverick) McCain: This amounts to torture and I’m against this stuff.

Jimmy Carter: I will go and rebuild this safe house.

Cindy Sheehan: I’ll put another little white cross beside the road in Crawford.

Chavez: Damned the price of oil is already falling.

Imans everywhere: Prepare the virgins.


And this from Free Fire Zone:

Terrific news from Iraq. The leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq dies in a bombing attack while holding a meeting with his staff.

Zarkawi died from wounds from two 500 lb laser guided bombs.

No more pining for the fjords for Zarqawi.

From Monty Python:

"He's passed on! This parrot terrorist is no more! He has ceased to be! He's expired and gone to meet sis maker! He's a stiff! Bereft of life, he rests in peace (hell)! If you hadn't nailed him to the perch he'd be pushing up the daisies! His metabolic processes are now history! He's off the twig! He's kicked the bucket, he's shuffled off his mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-Parrot (TERRORIST)!!"

If you see any other humorous takes on this bastard meeting his eternal fate let me know."
