Bury Zarqawi and Praise him
We should honor Zarqawi in death for the soldier he was in life. Members of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's family gather in a tent in his hometown of Zarqa to mourn the death of the notorious terrorist leader.
The family of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi wants to bury him in his hometown, but Jordan vowed the terror leader who killed Jordanians in a triple hotel bombing would never "stain" the country's soil.
"Everybody must understand that his place must be near his family," he told The Associated Press by telephone Friday. "He is a martyr and should be treated as such." Others in his home town had similar sentiments: "Even if he was a criminal and was killed by the Americans or the Jews, he is considered a martyr," said shop owner Mohammed Hassan al-Najjar.
Recall, this is the clan that officially renounced Zarqawi last year. "We sever links with him until doomsday."
The U.S. military has not revealed where Zarqawi's body is or whether it would be returned to his family for burial, although there is a precedent for returning the bodies of those killed in Iraq to their families. For example, the military returned the bodies of Saddam Hussein's two piglets, Uday and Qusay, to their relatives after they were killed in 2003.
I am opposed to having his body returned to his family. It should be brought to Arlington Cemetery and buried with full honors right behind the public restroom. Family members of loved ones accidentally killed by this Jihadist should be able to urinate knowing that their effluent will be flowing unfiltered over his remains.
But how else can we honor this martyr?
Of course, respectful images of Zarqawi should be displayed in our public places with all the honor due him.
I hope that some of our great corporations take the initiative and rename some of their products. For example, Ex-Lax can begin to rebrand their product with the Ex-Zarqawi for when you need to take a really bad Zarqawi.
I ask that my fellow bloggers honor this great soldier's past accomplishments by changing some terms they use when they need to evacuate their bowels. For example, "Whew, I dumped a big Zarqawi this morning. Boy was it really huge and stinky!"

Some Democrats said the death of Zarqawi in Iraq was a stunt to divert attention from a hopeless war and US soldiers' disgraces in Iraq."This is just to cover Bush 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, reported The Washington Times.

An autopsy was performed on Al-Zarqawi and his spiritual adviser, Sheik Abdul-Rahman, in order to keep down misinformation and propaganda. It gives them a definitive answer as to the specific cause of death.If you remember, there were reports that U.S. Soldiers were seen beating his body and 'blood came out of his nose'. But, the autopsy report states he died from lung injuries.

It is a story straight from the pen of a Hollywood script writer. But, the killing of Zarqawi is an amazing true story of international cooperation, individual courage, and the dirty, mean ways of war. The Politically Correct war that had heretofore been fought, had gone on far too long and was showing n o real results as the scum of the earth ran circles around us. The West tried, valiantly, but vainly, attempted to fight the "good war. It was all for naught; al-Qaeda in Mesopotamia and it's leader al-Zarqawi still eluded capture or death.

dinocrat - , Continued strange reporting of Zarqawi’s death versus Haditha,
It continues to strike us as odd that the MSM appear to have excessive interest in the minutest detail of Zarqawi's death (consider this AP headline: "Al-Zarqawi lived for 52 mins. after strike") but show absolutely no interest in the women and child who were killed with him. This via Reuters :
This (his death) was approximately 24 minutes after the coalition forces arrived and approximately 52 minutes after the first strike on the safehouse," Major General William Caldwell, chief U.S. military spokesman, told a news conference….Caldwell said the fate of the body would be discussed with Iraq's government. He said the bodies of three women killed in the air strikes were taken to a local hospital.Contrast this with the "Haditha Massacre," where there is absolutely no interest whatsoever in the enemy who killed and were actively trying to kill US Marines, and total obsessive interest in women and children.
