It was bound to happen eventually, probably at a cost of millions of dollars and at least a few extra US lives. Unfortunately, equally bound to happen is that another snake will take his place.

Great news! It's a huge body blow to Al Queda's organizational ability. And I thought president Bush's remarks this morning were restrained and responsible -- presidential.

That said, I have serious doubts this will have an effect, one way or the other, on the continuing sectarian violence in Iraq.

Hopefully, I'll be proven wrong.

Who cares? I wouldn't expect anything to put an end to terrorism.

I just hope the bomb caused him to have a slow and painful death rather than a quick one.

I don't think any amount of suffering on his part would be enough to equal the suffering he has caused to others, and I suspect that his death wasn't much different from those of the suicide bombers he led.

Here's Al-Qaida's spin on the event:

“We want to give you the joyous news of the martyrdom of the mujahed sheik Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

“The death of our leaders is life for us. It will only increase our persistence in continuing holy war so that the word of God will be supreme.”

I don't think that his death will achieve much other than removing one more terrorist from the scene. These organisations are cell structures, lopping off one of the heads doesn't destroy it or really harm it, that's one of the reasons why they are structured that way.

I disagree. This is not just removing one... its a big blow to the
leadership there and that for one... is taking out "a significant" of the organization who most likely had capabilites and also access to information that very few have. 2) its a big discouragement to the others in the group from moving up into a leadership position... its a message really> No matter what part of a terrorist ring, even if high up in the command you can and will get whacked! If the high in command can get it.... then any of them can. so it will surely spark a certain level of uneasyness in the organization and that uneasyness can lead to further confusion and problems within the organization. and even "at least" it will complicate whatever plans they might have had for anything in the near future, it will cause them to have to restructure and change a lot of plans and that takes time and effort etc... so this is a big damper on a lot of things.

this is significant!!
This is JUSTICE!!!!

You seem to be missing the point about the cell structure. Many of the cells are autonomous, they just take their ideology from above.

Your first point may well be valid, but your second...

Quote:

You must not forget, these people are of the same mindset as those who hijacked planes and with ice in their hearts, both for themselves and their hijacked passengers, flew them into the twin towers of the World Trade Center -- who strapped explosives to their bodies and boarded crowded subway cars in London -- who continue to maneuver bomb laden vehicles around concrete barriers through a hail of gunfife only to blow themselves and anyone unfortunate enough to be within range to hell and back. I think we make a huge mistake if we try to transfer our Westerner's well-developed sense of self-preservation to these people who embrace, even welcome, martyrdom in what they feel is a noble enterprise blessed by God.

Christ!... This Iraq bullshit has been going on now for almost as long as the U.S. took part in WWII. What the hell have we learned? At times like these I get the sickening feeling our children's great grandchildren are doomed to still be fighting this sucker at the turn of the next century!

Fuzzy math?
We occupied Japan until April 28, 1952. Except Okinawa which we occupied until 1972. Except Japan's military force which we are supplying to this day.

And I thought you were Canadian. Since when are Canadians fighting in Iraq?

In response to Myk (Reply # 18)


  

          

If I remember correctly, the Empire of Japan attacked Pearl Harbor December 7, 1941 and FDR announced America's entry into the war the following day. President Truman accepted the Japanese surrender August 15, 1945 and declared the war was ended. If you want to argue nonsense with someone, I suggest you go dig up old Harry -- but somehow I doubt he'd be any more accommodating.

And, by golly, you're right, I am Canadian and Canada isn't in Iraq. But maybe it's because we're much too busy trying to keep the dust down in Afghanistan -- remember that dirty little job of bringing to justice those responsible for 9-11 that was left hanging by some people when they took off from a job half done to go on an adventure to remake the world in their own image?

But, then again, maybe you don't consider Afghanistan to be a legitimate front in the war on terror, and that only those engaged in Iraq are real fighters. Perhaps you'd care to explain that to all the Canadian families who have buried their warrior children these past three years.

Are you trying to imply that American forces are no longer in Afghanistan? That we no longer are suffering casualties there?

I think you'd better stop drinking or what ever you're using that's curdled what brain cells you have left.

I said "some people" left the job in Afghanistan half done, and for anyone who doesn't have his head firmly up his ass, "some people" would have translated into Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld. And, of course America tragically continues to take casualties there -- I neither stated or implied otherwise.

Also, as far as what or when I choose to drink or not drink, BobH, is frankly none of your g.d. business. Get your shorts out of a knot and go play with your paint can.

If that doesn't imply that we left, then the sun doesn't rise in the east.

You're so infatuated with your supposed intelligence and written composition that you apparently can't read your own masterpieces and see the connotation that you created.

You're the one that has mentioned results of your imbibing before, not I. So, you can stick your opinion where the sun don't shine. I'll be careful not to have the temerity of questioning your all knowing intelligence again.

Well, it was nice getting to know all you good people, and thanks everyone for the give and take.

imo noreen's advice is right-on jazz4free!! your introspection is needed here...one-sided views without debate make us all distinguished idiots ... i don't often agree with your opinion/ideas but i do think they help frame the debate that ensues.

This forum would be a much more enjoyable place if people would refrain from making personal remarks in arguments, if their points are good they don't need to insult their opponent.

We need James here and it'll be a lesser place without him. Too many intelligent and interesting people have left this forum.

Lets see now " In post #33 Chewy lambasted the hell out of MYK .

In post # 36 MYK responds in kind !

In post #38 Chewy in essence (IMO) is saying i can do unto you ,but you cannot do unto me.

Of course these personal insults and name calling are senseless ! Does seem the norm though . And i doubt anyone takes them serious !I sure don't .

Ahh well, it's bound to happen. Try not to let it bug you. I try to be nice, but sometimes I get irritated with something someone has said too. Just because people are adults doesn't mean they will ever grow up

To be honest, I wouldn't want to see "only intelligent debate". A forum is sometimes just conversation, often sparked by the topic but unfortunately it's not always nice.

So if their points are not considered to be good then it is okay to call them an ignoramus, ass, and other choice phrases used by one of the moderators on this site? I guess that is a privelege of being a moderator.

This I agree with. There are pros ane cons to every argument without getting personal and insulting.

Because, on more than one occasion, I rode in here like Otis Campbell on his cow, I can't complain that even my most sincere efforts were not taken seriously by some. As I said, "mea culpa." I have no one but myself to blame if I am regarded here as the town drunk. If the insults were at times gratuitous -- well, in a dispute, it's only human nature to reach for the weapon closest to hand.

As far as my writing style is concerned, I'm not about to apologize for my respect of composition and usage -- if some here found it pretentious and irritating, so be it.

This is a public forum and its contributors are representative of the wider community we live in -- winners, losers and most of us occupying the shaky ground between. And, as Grogan has pointed out, we all get a burr up the ass now and again and say things in the heat of the moment we later regret.

Anyhow, I am an insignificant cog in this wheel. PCQ&A, I suspect for many of us, is a place we come to for a bit of friendly companionship in what otherwise can often be a lonely day-to-day grind.

I thank all of you who have been supportive of me these past couple of days, and for those of you who have in the past agreed with me, keep up the good fight. For all you others who are dead wrong about everything, a pox on your houses.

And though I wont be posting here in future, I hope I'll still be welcome in the computer forum. I often find myself in trouble, and PCQ&A is simply the best place on the net to come for sound and friendly advice.

Well, thanks folks -- it was a learning experience. Now where did I put that six-pack...

December 7, 1941 to August 15, 1945 = 3 years 8 months. War in Iraq was less than 2 months.
December 7, 1941 to April 28, 1952 = 9 years 4 months from the start of war until the end of occupation. We have not been in Iraq that long.
December 7, 1941 to 1972 = 31 years. We have not been in Iraq that long.
December 7, 1941 to today = 65 years. We have not been supplying a military force in Iraq that long.

Forgive me for talking nonsense but war in Iraq was started March 19, 2003. War in Iraq was declared over May 1, 2003. That is not even close to being equal to 3 years 8 months.
March 19, 2003 to today is not even close to 9 years 4 months or 31 years of war and occupation.

Maybe if we had turned the Middle East into a sheet of glass we could've broke the back of the terrorists like we did to the Japanese and they wouldn't have been willing to continue their suicide attacks.

We are still in Afghanistan too. We got Zarqawi in Iraq.
You were claiming YOUR families are and will be fighting in Iraq, not Afghanistan. Talk about nonsense.

Maybe the reason you're not in Iraq is because too many of you Canadians have a hard on against Bush and Americans in general. Or just maybe, judging by how you treat your own war heroes from Afghanistan, you take after the French too much. Perhaps you'd like to explain why you shun people who should be looked at as heroes to the people you are treating poorly.

I read through your post twice. There is nothing there that deserves my consideration never mind a response. At best it is irrelevent data leavened with twisted logic, at worst there's a statement that borders on being insane.

Discussions with you have become increasingly more bizarre. Frankly, they are a frustrating waste of time and energy, so I just plain give up.

You win. So long, Myk.

LOL, twisted logic?

I think claiming war with Japan but not occupation of Japan should equal war AND occupation of Iraq wins the title for twisted logic.

Compare apples to apples.
War in Iraq, 2 months. War in Japan 3 years 8 months.
War and occupation in Iraq, 3 years 3 months. War and occupation in Japan, 9 years 4 months and 31 years.
Total time in Iraq to date, 3 years 3 months. Total time in Japan to date, 65 years. Since Iraq already has its own military I bet Japan beats them by a mile on that one.

Maybe because you're not an American you're simply ignorant about the facts, or maybe because you seem to be anti-American (or at least against the present administration) you are lying to twist the facts.
I even cut you some slack and didn't include Korea or Vietnam as extensions of WWII's war actions, which they were.

One thing I've learned on the internet is when someone claims, "You don't make sense, I'm leaving" it means they were caught lying and don't want to admit it.

Maybe James just doesn't want to admit you're the greatest jackass of all time on this forum. All hail the great Myk. Bestow upon us your 'insight' and 'wisdom'. Of course you're right... since James is too busy imbibing himself, it's impossible that he could raise a valid point with you. How could anyone go up against you and prove you wrong? Hows that mule of yours doing?

Your interpretation of him leaving doesn't mean shit. James has a lot more fight left in him than you think - and if you think for a lousy second that he's leaving because of you, then you should take the self portrait down from the wall and stop talking as if you were God's only messenger.

I think his death will say allot. Like.... if we can get to him the way we did.....then that means now no one like him is safe from us. It was someone very close to him, someone he trusted that was used to locate him. Who ever takes his place will have a tough time trusting anyone with their whereabouts.

When Ho Chi Minh died of a heart attack in 1969, i was on my 2nd tour in Vietnam, we all thought that this would be the turning point, didn't happen ,as all that were there know .and those that weren't there also know business as usual continued.

This morning, from a cave somewhere in Pakistan, Taliban Minister of Migration, Mohammed Omar, warned the United States that if military action against Iraq continues, Taliban authorities will cut off America's supply of convenience store managers.

And if this action does not yield sufficient results, cab drivers
will be next, followed by Dell Computer's customer service reps.

The latest reports are that he was found alive and breathing in the rubble, but died soon afterwards on the stretcher.

The reason we found him is that we apparently received tips about his location from some of his associates, indicating that he made some enemies among his followers.

There will probably be something of a power struggle now to replace him. How effective the group will be under new leadership remains to be seen. I expect bin Laden to attempt to re-establish his influence in Iraq, which had been eclipsed by al Zarquawi.

Zarquawi was a psychopath dangerous to anyone around him and I suspect his death was gratifying to many of his associates, and to bin Laden. The world is far better off without him.

The autopsy report today indicates he remained alive for almost an hour after the attack, dying primarily of injuries to his lungs from the bomb blast. He also had a broken leg and some other injuries.
