A Small Victory

Here's another positive news story coming out of Iraq:

ABU MUSAB AL-ZARQAWI IS DEAD!

At 6:15 PM yesterday night, two F-16's took off on a mission to a town north of Baghdad. They were guided there by many different intelligence sources including prisoner and tipster info. The sources said that Zarqawi was at a house there following his "spiritual advisor." Bad move. The fighters reached the target and destroyed it with two 500-pound bombs. Iraqi troops moved in and discovered Al-Zarqawi in the rubble.

Al-Zarqawi was one of the most infamous terrorists in the Middle East. He was the director of Al-Qaeda operations in Iraq, and an avid hater of the West. His "elimination" (in the words of Iraq's prime minister) will be a blow to the terrorists there, but not necessarily a fatal one. However it is symbolic of our increasingly successful effort to quell the insurgency there.

I am glad that justice has been done. But I am sad that he will go to hell.
