This is a very appropriate display of what today's libs are like inside their empty souls. They would rather (aid and comfort) "pscho-analyze" a murdering terroritst who - gleefully - sawed off people's heads w/a knife, then come to the political tables w/one drop of understanding for a Conservative. The limits of their hate for their own countrymen are infathumable. God help America. Juice

At least this mornings online edition of my hometown rag The Houston Chronicle refers to him as a terror leader in a headline and the AP article calls him "The terrorist leader". So not all of 'em swing fully left. Maybe I'll have to resubscribe - - - -he he, yeah, right.

I think that they are all missing the real significance of this. That significance lies in what we military guys call 2nd- and 3rd-order effects, which is to say the less obvious changes from the action.
First, the info on where Zarkawi was came from *within* his organization, and I suspect that the 17 other raids were based on info from the same guy. Not knowing who that was, this affects every terror cell and leader in Iraq, causing them to watch their backs and keep info to themselves. In this way it affects their ability to communicate and coordinate their actions. Paranoia and a so-called 'power vacuum' will promote infighting and power struggles, leading to internal dissent and fragmentation within the terrorist networks. They'll even kill each other, if they percieve any threat.
Second, the terrorists depend on fear to keep the locals from turning them in. One part of that fear was the apparent inability to 'get' the highest profile badguy in Iraq. Now, we have made it clear that we *can* get the badguy. That makes it much more likely that Iraqi citizens will step up and turn in the baddies in their midst. So, the info increases, we get more baddies, and the Iraqis see that their government is taking charge. More info because of that...etc.
The fact that the Iraqis finally formed their government on the same day is also important. Middle-eastern Arabs are very superstitious, and this will be taken as a portent and a sign to them.
There is still a long way to go, but this marks the beginning of the end.

Dennis Prager interviewed a man yesterday, I think his name was Steadman, head of some thinktank(I think). He laid out the time line of what happened.
First Zarkawi was killed. Than,2 hours later, a Sunni was named to the post of Interior Minister(very powerful position, head of the ISF and the police) and a Kurd was named to the other open high level position. This man postulated that the Sunnis have realized that they had gotten just about all they could have from the terror attacks. The Sunnis proposed that they were prepared to signal to stop the terror attacks. As an act of good faith on both the Sunni and Shia's part, the Sunnis would give up Zarkawi and once the Shia had seen this, the Interior post would be awarded to a Sunni.
It is pretty amazing when you consider how the sides were deadlocked just days before(with the assholes on the left loving that) and also how a Sunni was given control of the Army and Police. The time line bears out this story. Time will tell if in fact the violence does lessen. I've also read that the new President is moving strongly to disarm the militias around Baghdad and in the south, around Basra.
And you know what? George Bush will never get a dime's worth of credit from the left. The lines are pretty clear to me in this country. We would have to be crazy to ever let a democrat direct our security, look at the harm they do as a minority party.
