I hope hes dead, did you guys see that video he was making? the out takes? He was an idiot. He just wanted power, he probably was some loser in school with no friends.

Honestly I kinda feel like this dude does about it. This is a quote from one of the victims relatives.

quote:
"Michael Berg, whose son Nick was beheaded in Iraq in 2004, had a different reaction to the news that al-Zarqawi had been killed in an air strike, saying he felt “no sense of relief, just sadness that another human being had to die.”

“As the poet John Donne said, any man’s death diminishes me. It doesn’t bring my son back, and this will just bring a new cycle of revenge killings,” Michael Berg said."

But its easy to have my stance when it isnt my relative. But I think of things this way. Now we will back to a level red terror alert. And I thought Osama was the number fugitive right now?

Bush doesn't behead people with a knife while they are still alive begging for their life....So comparing the two is like apples and carrots. I really hope you see the difference there. [Eek!]

OKAAAY WELL THEN IM SORRY BUSH IS A TOO MUCH OF A BITCH TO DO THAT SO HE JUST PLAYS THAT GOOD OLD AMERICAN RED NECK ROLE AND GETS PEOPLE TO DO IT FOR HIM OR USES PEOPLE IN OUR MILITARY TO DO HIS DIRTY WORK WHILE HE HANGS OUT ON HIS RANCH AND HAS OTHER PEOPLE WRITE THE SHIT THAT COMES OUT HIS MOUTH YEA THERE NOT THE SAME PEOPLE AND THEY DO THEIR DIRTY WORK IN DIFF WAYS AND I DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT THAT SIDE OF THE WORLD BUT FROM WHAT I DO KNOW HTEY SEEM TO DO THINGS A LIL DIFFRENT OVER THERE SO I DOUBT WILL BE SEEING BUSH BEHEADING PEOPLE ANYTIME SOON BUT IM SURE WILL BE HEARING MORE NEWS ABOUT BOMBINGS AND DEATHS OR EVEN VIOLENCE AND CRIME AND ALL THAT NEGATIVE STUFF OVER HERE [patriot]

Posted by GRIGGYJAMESJIMBO (Member # 6319) on :

Yes they might of actually killed him but another vicious violent leader will definatelly take his place, and after they kill him another will take his place.... The never ending saga continues- TTT [patriot]

Posted by n8y8 (Member # 6048) on :

Also dont forget, their culture/religion is deeply rooted in the martyr belief. So to die fighting for what he believed in is actually celebrated. And many over there would love to take his place and do the same things with the same ending. So it is indeed a no win struggle as far as that goes

Posted by 2stangs69-91 (Member # 1951) on :

I am glad the worthless pice of shit is dead. They Kill inocent people because of there religous beliefs [Confused]

wtf. If you can stand there and cut a persons head off for no reson other than you don't like them ,am I suposed to feel bad when he gets killed? I don't feel bad for killers in America when they get the death penalty either. There are to many good people out there to feel sorry for then to waste a breath feeling sorry for a terrorist who Kills inocent Moms and kids(twin towers) to push a religous agenda. My response has nothing to do with Bush or the war just how I feel. I hope binladen is next.

Posted by AL STOCK (Member # 1852) on :

Yessss i think its kinda weird dropping a 500lb bomb on a target and the person comes out in one piece lol

To me its somewhat of a Publicity Stunt for Bush - I think its to show that he is still doing his job...

Thats just me

ON EDIT : Lots of shit on the media/news says "its confirmed" but 90% of it is bullshit....

We'll never know -

Wrong. He woulda been viewed as a Martyr if he committed suicide. That's exactly what he would have done if we went in and attempted to detain him.
Two 500lb bombs wasn't enough. Only half the block was demolished. [Wink]

Posted by DLo (Member # 6133) on :

In my opinion, I could care less if this is Bush's ploy or whatever. It's a confirmed kill? Good. The man is dead and we don't need his presence. Now bring his dead body here so I can throw my piss n sh*t at him. And where is Bin Ladin's head on a stick????

I feel sorry for the man who's son was beheaded. I don't think anybody knows how he feels. But I feel no remorse for terrorist turds who take the lives of such innocent people in a cowardly fashion.

Posted by n8y8 (Member # 6048) on :

Actually this is the definition of a martyr:

"One who chooses to suffer death rather than renounce religious principles."

That pretty much sums up him and all those extremist Al Queda dudes tho.

I think Bin is dead. There were alot of rumors back in 2001 about him dying, plus he hasn't shown his face in years.

LOL did you see the videos? It was a direct hit on on the house he was in. It turned the house into rubble you wouldn't know anything was there once if not for the bricks and wood

Posted by Stevo (Member # 972) on :

Yea, I posted this before I had seen the video. Who knows how he died. It will be a mystery where he was actually when the bombs hit.

Posted by Cobra5.0Jeep (Member # 1482) on :

Maybe he was running like a little bitch outside his house or something because he got a tip it was going to happen but it was too late and BOOM he was blown 4 blocks down the road killed by the concussion

Apparently what you see in the pic is pretty much all that is left of him. Lower torso gone bye bye.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Abu Musab al-Zarqawi initially survived the explosion of two 500-pound (227 kg) bombs and tried to escape when U.S. troops reached the mortally wounded leader of al Qaeda in
Iraq, the U.S. military said on Friday.

The account of Zarqawi's death offered by Army Maj. Gen. William Caldwell differed in several details, including Zarqawi's initial survival, from one presented by the U.S. military a day earlier. Zarqawi and five others were killed on Wednesday after an F-16C bombed them in a house near the town of Baquba, north of Baghdad, the military said.

"Zarqawi, in fact, did survive the air strike," Caldwell, the top U.S. military spokesman in Iraq, told reporters at the
Pentagon by teleconference. He said Zarqawi mumbled unintelligibly before he died.

"The first people on the scene were the Iraqi police," Caldwell added. "They had found him and put him into some kind of gurney, stretcher kind of thing, and then American coalition forces arrived immediately thereafter on-site."

"They immediately went to the person in the stretcher (and) were able to start identifying by some distinguishing marks on his body. They had some kind of visual, facial recognition," he said.

"Zarqawi attempted to, sort of, turn away off the stretcher. Everybody re-secured him back onto the stretcher, but he died almost immediately thereafter from the wounds he'd received from this air strike," Caldwell said.

He told Fox News Channel Zarqawi "attempted to roll off the stretcher, as I am told, and get away, realizing it was U.S. military."

Zarqawi "mumbled a little something but it was indistinguishable and it was very short," he told the Pentagon briefing.

Troops at the site tried to give medical treatment to Zarqawi before he died, Caldwell said, citing a U.S. military report, but he said he could not estimate how long Zarqawi was alive after the raid.

There were no indications in the report that Zarqawi had been shot, he said.

'CLEAN HIM UP'

U.S. forces cleaned up a bloody Zarqawi before taking the pictures that were shown to the world, Caldwell said.

"His face was very, very bloodied. And we made a conscious decision that if we were going to take photographs of him and make them available publicly, like we did in the press conference, that we were going clean him up," Caldwell said.

The pictures were not digitally enhanced, he said.

On why his account differed from Thursday's one in Baghdad, Caldwell said, "As with any operation that ever occurs, first reports are never 100 percent correct, and we do continue to follow up to make sure we have established exactly what the facts were on the ground."

He said only two of the six killed in the raid have been positively identified: Zarqawi and his spiritual adviser Sheikh Abdul-Rahman. Caldwell said "three males and three females -- no children" were killed. The military said on Thursday one child had died.

Caldwell said he tried to learn how Zarqawi could have survived the huge bomb blasts. "And we do not know -- and I've looked through the report -- as to whether or not it was because he might have been right outside (the house) or whatever."

About 25 people were detained and one killed in 17 raids conducted after Zarqawi's death, he said.

One F-16 delivered both bombs even though two planes were assigned the mission because the second was engaged in aerial refueling when the attack order was given, Caldwell said.
