Wooohooo! We've killed a guy....

...still in it for the long haul.

It might give Bush the break he needs..to put an end to gay marriage! mwhaha.

Wow, I understand that Bush is happy about his death but he's receiving a framed picture of his corpse. I'll always.. find that weird.

I actually heard a promising rumor about this: Apparently the recently appointed defense minster is a Suni. The rumor is that the heads of the Suni resistance came to terms with the Shiites and agreed to provide information about Zarqawi is exchange forhigher placements in the new Iraqi government.

On the off-chance that this is true, it would be a devastating blow to Al Qaeda (still have no idea how to spell it).

I would give that rumor two thumbs-up to being true.

Not exactly breaking news, as I saw this on the TV last night around 2~3 ish.

But hey, at least it makes for humdrum conversation.

Why do we need to see the photo of his dead face? Poor choice, CNN, poor choice.

Jonbo298 · 06-08-2006, 05:15 PM

Because americans want to...as odd as that sounds. "Show us the dead body!"

It'll be the same thing if we ever catch bin laden. People will demand to see the corpse of the guy that messed with people's lives.

Typhoid · 06-08-2006, 05:35 PM

Is it just me, or can a few of you really not care less?

Sure he's dead. He's the number whatever guy in charge. But the person below him will step up. And below him, and him, and it wont really end.

Sure, you killed someone. Terrorism wont stop. If anything they'll strike back with something in the whole "Sure you killed one of us, but we're proving we wont stop" sort of things.

KillerGremlin · 06-08-2006, 07:07 PM

Quiet you, canadian. I'll be moving up there if i get drafted in the next 30 or 40 years. You're not supposed to have opinions.

i 100% agree.

not Bin Laden...

*shrugs and walks away*

Jonbo298 · 06-08-2006, 07:37 PM

I didn't want to sound like I really cared about this if I came across that way. The guy didn't affect my life so it doesn't matter to me.

Dyne · 06-08-2006, 07:56 PM

Yeah, I don't even know who he is, and I doubt killing him is going to cause much of an impact in the long run.

Short-lived "victory" for the masses, I guess.

KillerGremlin · 06-08-2006, 08:34 PM

So how about them queers. Congress lost by one vote.

Neo · 06-08-2006, 08:36 PM

They lost a majority by one vote, they still need 2/3 to pass the thing which is not going to happen.
