Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi killed!

This dude was al-Qaida's leader in Iraq - and he was killed (we found out today) in an air strike. If this isn't just a little more proof as to why we should be in Iraq during this war on terror, I don't know what is.

This is a maniac that has carried out suicide bombings, including one in Jordan that killed 60 people; was known as Iraq's most notorious insurgent associated with bombings, assassinations, and the beheading of foreign hostages.

He is Jordanian born and merged with Osama bin Laden in late 2004. He used the Iraqi insurgency as a springboard to expand his operations. As did Bin Laden, Zarqawi released a number of audiotapes rallying support and challenging the US and its allies - and videotapes showing horrific footage. Many believe that this is a sure sign that Saddam Hussein was courting al-Queda, justifying the attack on Iraq (even though there has been more than enough justification).

Also, here is a list of Zarqawi-claimed attacks:

28 Oct 2002: US diplomat Laurence Foley killed in Jordan
19 Aug 2003: Bombing of UN office in Baghdad, 23 dead
29 Aug 2003: Bombing of Najaf shrine killing Shia cleric Muhammad Baqr Hakim, 85 dead
2 March 2004: Co-ordinated attack on Shia mosques during Ashoura ceremony, 181 dead
11 May 2004: Nick Berg beheaded, first of at least nine foreign hostages killed in 2004
14 Sept 2004: Car bomb targeting police recruits in Baghdad, 47 dead
19 Dec 2004: Car bombs in Najaf and Karbala, 60 dead
19 Aug 2005: Rocket attack in Jordan on Israel and US navy
9 Nov 2005: Triple attack on hotels in Amman, 60 dead

Yet, somehow the liberal left will make this into something else - - - they can't stand it when proof that they are dead-wrong keeps piling up.

And as Rush would say: Any good day for America and the US military and the war effort is a bad day for liberalism, a bad day for the Democrats.

Take that, liberals.

Man, I love America.
