RIP, you SOB

This morning brings us the great news that the butcher Abu Musab al Zarqawi, the leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq, was killed in a US airstrike against a not-so-safe house in Baquba. Apparently Jordanian agents assisted in locating him (Zarqawi himself is - was - Jordanian). The leftist media, of course, wasted no time in trying to put a bad spin on this wonderful development. The citizens of Iraq have a different take on Zarqawi's demise, however, as "Joy filled Baghdad's hot streets".
