He doesn't post about Iraq or President Bush. I think he mostly just focuses on Obama, Pope Benedict and Social issues.

I find it kind of disturbing that you were excited enough about the killing of a person that you're celebrating the anniversary of the event.

I'm not celebrating the anniversary or posting about it out of excitement. It's just that last night I was laying down in my bed and realized it was june 6 and that six years ago people kept talking about how the world was supposed to end on june 6 and then I remembered that a day or so after that the U.S. killed Zarqawi so I figured I'de post about that. Maybe next year I'll post about June 6 end of the world.

Interestingly enough there were quite a bit of topics about Zarqawi being killed six years ago, but they were all on union boards not on off topic.

Guess to make some point about Obama and the Bush administrations efforts at dealing with terrorists and such. Perhaps making some kind of response/point about Bin Laden stuff or whatever.

Who's celebrating the killings? And if anyone celebrates murder, it's the Arabs/Muslims in "East Jerusalem" who jump up and down with glee while handing out baklawa when they get the news of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

I don't recall hearing about any civilians killed in that strike. I think the strike used Precision Guided munitions, possibly LGBs. I'll look into it.

6 people were killed in the airstrike besides Zarqawi. Those killed included one of his wives and one of his children. And yes I was right the U.S. did use a LGB, as well as a GPS guided bomb to destroy the house.

Yes. It happened six years ago today. How'de you know? I remember hearing about this the day after it happened on the car radio on my way to school, the last day of exams for my sophmore year of high school. It was quite exciting really.

Several more "leaders" of AQIM have been killed since then. Given the clandestine cellular structure of the "organization", it doesn't help as much as it sounds.
