Zarqawi and 72 Raisins. Is it a good thing?

Apparently not.

Listening to Michael Medved's show today, I could not believe my ears as he interviewed Michael Berg, father of Nicholas Berg, the American beheaded by Zarqawi. Apparently, for many on the Left, there is no joy in mudville now that Zarqawi has gone to meet his 72 raisins.

Via NRO, these comments from the Daily Kos:

"Bush's idea of justice is bombs falling out of the sky?"

"Why is he dead again just now? I wonder if Karl's getting indicted tomorrow..."

"Those pics of Abu Z look like they just thawed him out just in time for the elections."

"Zarqawi was quite probably a psy ops job in the first place, so what does that make his "death"? ...Keep your eyes on the prize....Haditha."

"Just in time to hide the fact they're trying to cut the estate tax for the uber wealthy"

"Yes the timing of Zarqawi's death does seem too good for Bush to be true. It reeks of distraction politics. "

And from the Democrat Underground, via Powerline:

Very curious. I wonder how this plays into neocon plans to attack Iran?
How sad - you know my reaction?? I laughed out loud and said the same thing you did, "AGAIN???" How sad that we cannot trust our government to be honest with us in matters of war and death. The boy who cried wolf is not believed in my house.

Z has only one leg and has already died or escaped so many times...Nah. I don't believe the story.

I don't buy it either...Wonder if they had to cut off the leg of the "Zarqawi" for authenticity purposes? Convenient too that this would happen now....guess we should just all forget about that Haditha mess, the fact that we are approaching 2,500 dead and the fact that our economy is in big trouble.

It's almost an "open joke" among the military and civilians who know how PsyOps operate, and the History, that Zarqowi is merely a "Pentagon creation." And oh, don't we need some good news now? It's so predictable I could write the OP Orders. It's all bullshit LIES paraded around for PR exploitation.

And in case you think this response exists only in the fever swamps, there is these reactions of our elected Democrats from the Washington Times:

"This is just to cover Bush's [rear] so he doesn't have to answer" for Iraqi civilians being killed by the U.S. military and his own sagging poll numbers, said Rep. Pete Stark, California Democrat. "Iraq is still a mess -- get out."

Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich, Ohio Democrat, said Zarqawi was a small part of "a growing anti-American insurgency" and that it's time to get out. "We're there for all the wrong reasons," Mr. Kucinich said.

UPDATE: Another look into the fever swamp. A post at "Talk Left" declares that it is wrong to rejoice in then "murder" (or alternatively, assasination) of Zarqawi. Most of the comments agree that Zarqawi should've been arrested and brought to justice. It's funny, the author of the post analogizes the death of Zarqawi to something out of Alice in Wonderland. That's what I thought when I read this drivel. Wow.

Like David in his comment to the Ex-Terrorist post below, I am amazed at the reactions of the Left to the death of this evil, vicious, blood thirsty, murdering bastard. That it is even for a moment seen as a bad thing is shocking. Wow.

Well, I'm happy. Very happy. My only regret? I don't think he felt it. I would've liked him to feel some of the pain he put Nick Berg through. Sorry Michael Berg, but that's how I feel about your son's murderer. You, on the other hand, can kiss my ass.
