al-Zarqawi gets virgin flames to lick his carcass

Congratulations to our armed forces for taking out Iraq's number 1 Al Queda terrorist. While his family spews the nonsense that he is in heaven, rest assured he finally has his virgins. Unfortunately for him they are virgin flames of hell. I wonder what his first thoughts were when he awoke to his eternal torment. Probably surprise at where he was first, then the realization that Bush finally got him.

So do I relish the thought of this creep in hell? No, I don't wish that on anybody. I make the point on this blog because of the constant drumbeat of the twisted promise of heaven and virgins to people willing to target and snuff out the life of innocent women, children and men. This warped promise never is challenged or denounced. It has lured several young men who feel they have no real future to throw their life away with the suicide vest. It needs to be challenged hard and across the board by the religious leaders in a position to do so. If others dreaming of celestial sexual reward were told enough times by enough people that they will instead awaken to the flames of hell, maybe they will pause long enough to change their mind.

As for Zarqawi's demise, I congratulate the special ops and others involved in the planning and execution of this hit. I heard of the news this morning when my radio alarm went off and I thought I was dreaming. I then heard it for real when I woke up and it was simply a great victorious feeling. It shows the fruits of staying the course and reveals the folly of critics who think getting these types can be done overnight.

While I had a great feeling, I wonder how many liberals had a sinking feeling in their stomach when they heard the news. I don't claim all or most did, but I know some did. What an existence dreading waking up to good news. They are the same ones who get giddy at anything that seems like bad news.

Goodbye Zarqawi. For all others scumbags who have escaped capture or death so far, your day is coming.
