al-Zarqawi: DEAD

Americans woke up to the best news coming from Iraq since Saddam Hussein was captured: Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the so-called "al Qaeda Prince in Iraq", is DEAD!

NOT "al-Zarqawi is a dead man for what he’s done" or "We want him dead or alive" or "dead terrorist hiding" or "fancy talk for a dead man" or even "we HOPE we got him". No, he’s DEAD. He’s really DEAD. He’s worm food. He was killed along with seven of his aides while trying to stir up sectarian riots in an area just north of Baghdad.

And here’s the thing: some of his own countrymen helped! Not only did we get help from Jordanian operatives to locate al-Zarqawi, but they even identified him after we took him out in the airstrike. (Note to Junior: cut that check for $25 million like you promised!)

That’s right, the "great warrior" who personally and brutally killed at least two Americans with a knife but who couldn’t shoot a gun without looking like Gomer Pyle didn’t even have a chance to exercise his "great combat skills" when he was killed. He was killed from a distance, when he least expected it. GOOD! He died just like many of his victims died!

This is great news! One terrorist DEAD, many more to go! And hopefully Osama will be the next one on the "good morning news" category.
