The original nationalist guise of the insurgency has been lost in favor of sectarian motivations and in-fighting.
Jordanian terrorist leader Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi was killed by U.S. Special Forces in an air attack on a house in Baghdad Wednesday night. He was considered the leader of the Sunni insurgency in Iraq, and allied with Al-Qaeda linked organizations. The Iraqi PM Nouri Maliki confirmed the news in a news conference along with U.S. military commander General Casey.…

Just one Moron....here's a clue
ask Andy Marsh..ya know, a real Goldwater style conservative?
or, any that you trust who has a Navy background, i can verify my service in less than a paragraph to anyone who was InServ...

hey ray
I almost forgot that "anonymous pilot" you mentioned is a "real" war hero...give him credit...
131 - gonzo marx
he did give the pilot credit...and those who painted the target get credit too
what he said was that the Shrub doesn't get credit for it...and he was right
but i realize that the factual correlation with Reality doesn't matter to blind partisans such as yerself...step away from the Limbaugh, it could be loaded

Please give me a break...your trying to justify elusion of self importance with a challenge to test your military knowlege...hmmmm...I bet yoy can quote by heart all of the line of Luke Walker...does that make you a Jedi?
And bozo...those who are real heros and really served in the military..dont start every sentence referencing their military background...based upon that...in my opinion...you are a phony..regardless even if you were in the service...you still seem to have a distorted view that for some reason your opinion is more important than others...another words to quote bob grant.."your a fake, phoney, fraud"

Bozo...why does your quote "military career" make you feel better than everyone else?

JustoneMoron...
now now, i have about 4000 comments, and probably a few hundred reference my time in the service, and only when it is germaine to the topic at hand
you see, those who HAVR served, have some Insight as to how things work in the military, and can speak about those things with a firsthand knowledge
now, contrary to your continuously distorted view, please show where i have EVEr said i was "better" than anyone else in any way, shape or form?
i'll wait...
.......
......
couldn't find it , eh?
for the record, it's "Skywalker" and nope, i can't quote to many lines form the series, i've seen the films but am not that big a fan
now, did you serve? please quote where i have EVER said i was anything like any kind of "hero"
i'll wait some more...
.....
.....
still nothing?
here's something for you to ponder...if you spent a fraction of the time you waste in attacking those you disagree with on working towards solutions you might become part of the Answer, rather than a bitter hypocritical partisan part of the Problem that you remain

Bozo....thank you for proving my point...you had to mention "my time in the service"....lol you actual count the number of times you mention "my time in the service"....LOL...LOL...and by the way you did write that "yer Opinion doesn't matter either"
ya see your are hiding and trying to be something you are not...this is a classic liberal move...bash, bash, bash...but offer no solutions...
Excelshit!
137 - gonzo marx
ya want a solution, mention a problem...ya know damn well i have tossed out my fair share of ideas for tackling problems...where's yours?
as fer my mentions and anything liek the estimate you call "counting"...ya almost make me laugh, thanks fer trying
i mention things that are relevant to the conversation, you attempt attacks on straw men with ad hominems
you have any actual Issue you want to discuss, or are you just channeling yer iner Don Rickles ?
just curious...but you really do need to stop stalking me liek this, yer boyfriend is beginning to get upset

Gonzo, are you really so certain this is Big Al? With his recent resurfacing, it sounds much more like the mad stylings of Anthony Nero, I mean Grande.

Bozo...gee a liberal....and gay basher too...go figure...you must have a deep understanding of homosexualiity....now I understand what you mean about being..."Inserv"...you are a catcher of course!

heh...JoM, yer almost amusing..but you don't get to set the definitions
that's a nice smear tactic that AM radio hosts have perfected to fool the sheeple, but just ain't gonna cut it, it also helps to actually be funny
i should be charging fer these Lessons...
but i digress
as i stated earlier, do actually have anything factual or Issue oriented you wanted to , ya know..discuss, or debate?
or are lame attempts at insult and attack all ya have got?
now, i truly am flattered that yer spending all this time and obvious amounts of skull sweat trying to keep up here, but shouldn't you be working some rogaine into yer Larry Fine 'do?
odds are ya will have much better results fer the time spent, and may actually eventually get you out of the basement and you will see a real female of the species...we call it ...a social life

I am really hurt and astonished.
