Democrats Vow to Fight On After Zarqawi Loss

News Fairly Unbalanced. We Report. You Decipher.
(2006-06-09) — As Blackberry devices and cell phones on Capitol Hill hummed with news of the death of terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi yesterday, Congressional Democrats vowed that despite the loss they would fight on in “the war on the war on terror.”
“Zarqawi will be missed because he put a human face on the futility of the illegal U.S. occupation of Iraq,” said one unnamed lawmaker, who assured a reporter that “Democrats are still optimistic. We’re still looking for the silver lining.”
Rep. John Murtha, D-PA, a former Marine and vocal critic of the military occupation of Iraq, immediately denounced “the Zarqawi massacre” and suggested that the F-16 pilot who dropped the bombs had snapped under pressure and murdered the al Qaeda leader “in cold blood.”
Sen. Arlen Specter, R-PA, demanded an explanation of the secret intelligence gathering techniques and surveillance used to find Mr. Zarqawi.
“I want to give the president an opportunity to explain the program to the Congress and to assure the American people that nobody’s civil rights were violated,” said Sen. Specter.
Meanwhile, Democrat National Committee Chairman Howard Dean and former presidential candidate Al Gore observed a moment of silence as they heard of the passing of Mr. Zarqawi, a fellow Internet pioneer.

John Murtha has lost his mind. Somebody get the hook and yank him off stage.

EB,
Yeah, but Murtha still needs to be yanked off stage. He's a disgrace and condemns before he even knows the facts of Haditha. Political jockeying!

Beamish in '08! I up for a position in his Cabinet--Department of Homeland Education. We're going to combine it with the Department of War.

When people have no ideas, they fight. The dhimmicrats have no ideas. All they can do is try to tear down the conservatives. I saw a show on CSPAN yesterday about a moonbat bloggers conference in Las Vegas. It was the biggest joke you can imagine. They think that if you "reframe" the argument, that will work. So, they're new plan is to accuse the right of "killing babies" because we're against a bloated government health care plan. Ya, that will work. NOT! Dingbats.
Loved your comment today at eyesallaround:>) I think I'll post it tomorrow if you don't mind. It was really written well and backed up with scripture. Thanks a bunch!

eyes, the left are experts at reframing the argument. When they knew they couldn't win the abortion argument because it is murder they reframed it as a privacy issue.

The left are also masters at controlling the language. By making everyone use PC speech, they have taken the punch out of issues by making them so watery that people don't care about them anymore.

Good morning, going to try again, who said I wasn't a hardhead?
Maybe we can get the same pilot to bomb Murtha, he's big enough for at least 1 bomb!
