Iraq
SFGate Pro-Zarqi SpinMeisters Pull Out All Stops!
2006-06-13
It took an F-16 fighter jet dropping two, 500-pound bombs to destroy the Jordanian-born, Iraq-based terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi at his hideout northeast of Baghdad, allowing Team Bush to gloat over its big hit and much of the rest of the world to wonder: What took so long? A U.S. military spokesman in Iraq said three females and three males were also killed in the attack; one of the victims "was a girl between the ages of five and seven."
Pretty sexy intro, no? Now check out the cherry-picked winners they've collected at the link.

#3  Encourage their anti-american rants, but call them on it every time. This will insure they continue to lose national elections. More people can see through the bullshit than they are willing to admit.

#2   What took so long?

We can only hope that one day Mr. Gomez will be able to pose that question face-to-face to the Task Force 145 guys. Perhaps they'll have an answer for him.

#1  I like the bold lettering. It makes it so much easier for the author's audience to understand the point he's making in between their morning bong hits.
