WSJ?OTD
"Will the Zarqawi killing mark a major turning point in the Iraq war?
My answer NO.
I even thought to myself 'are you kidding'?
Happily, I found the first comment in the section said the same thing.
Also 55% said NO and agreed with me.
Nothing is going to slow the so-called 'insurgency'. It is really a civil war with an islamo fanatic terrorist component hooked onto it.
Not a nice combination but certainly not an insurgency.
This guy's death, as welcome as it might be, will not stop it.
Welcome? Well sure. These bastards only stop when they are dead. But it is not a 'victory'.
Another thing. Don't be surprised if, in a couple of days, we find out that they were wrong; that it was some other guy on his way to the supermarket.
