| What to do with the news that a terrorist master responsible for the murder of untold numbers of American servicemen and women has been killed? Well, for many Democrats, that was a question that actually required thought before being answered. No instantaneous rejoicing. No thankfulness that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was sent to his maker courtesy of 1,000 pounds of American-made munitions delivered via F-16. No, the first reaction of many Democrats was either worry or disdain. Worry over how to spin a response so that it brings maximum political advantage, and disdain that the U.S. military had a victory on President Bush's watch. The other reaction was incredulity. Some Democrats believe the whole story was fabricated by the military to distract from the "truth" of Bush's failure as a President. Consider the following comments made by actual Democrats: Am I the only one who thinks this is one big scam on America and the world, to make it look like they "killed a main terrorist" and rid the world of an evil person?" |

| #7 The Army probably got his fingerprints from Jordon, where he was a prisoner years ago. |

| #5 Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden were appropriately pleased. My half (ok, maybe a little less than half) of the dem party is pleased as punch. I got no truck with friggin Kos, let alone his loony commentators, Kerry is a has been, and the prospect of Pelosi speaking for us makes me think that if end up just SHORT of a majority in the House, that wouldnt be such a bad thing (we can still pass legislation with the RINO's, but dont need to have Pelosi as Speaker) |

| #4 "When will the left realize it, that their actions and everything they have done is misdirected and wrong?" Never. Colonel Nicholson's distorted view of reality was born of his desperate situation as a prisoner. The Left's distorted views come from the malevolence and hatred that is within them. As someone remarked here yesterday, "these people have no souls." |

| #3 And as I recall, Nicholson was shot by his Japanese masters, inadvertently blowing up the bridge but expiring in the event. The same may happen to the donks at the hands of their islamo-tranzi co-dependents. We can hope. |

| #2 The main "power" behind the left has become mental illness, and exhibits itself in an almost paranoid version of schizophrenia. Just look at the kook comments - they all require Bush to have some huge conspiracy, and that the world is out to cheat the left from its "rightful" position as dictators to the peopel of what is good for them. They've become Colonel Nicholson at the end of Bridge over the River Kwai - where he has followed the detonation cord to the trigger for the explosives that were emplaced by commados to blow up the bridge he just willingly built for the Japanese war effort (but ignored the consequences of the bridge). Joyce: Officer, sir. A British officer. We're here to blow up the bridge, sir! Nicholson: Blow up the bridge? Joyce: Yes, sir. Yes, sir. British commando orders, sir. Nicholson (in disbelief): Blow up the bridge!? Nicholson, like the left, is so attached to his view of reality that he has lost sight of the true evil in the situation. Nicholson finally realizes he is blocking his own Allied side's operation to blow up the bridge. He gasps: What have I done? When will the left realize it, that their actions and everything they have done is misdirected and wrong? As said in the last spoken words of the movie: Madness!...Madness! Madness! |

| #1 The Democrats have made getting the troops home the top priority. Hmm..why? At least you can pull an Al Gore and despirately work to get their absentee votes thrown out. You bring them back they'll only tell their friends and neighbors of the Big Lie[tm] that you and your media buddies have been telling and they'll certainly not vote for you at the local polling station. Big Lie[tm] is the property of the Reich Ministry of Propaganda. Property awarded to the holders of the Julius Streicher Prize for stereotyping and demonizing fellow citizens [won for the shameless defamation of our military during time of war; 2003, 2004, 2005, and nominated for 2006]. |
