Murtha and al-Zawahri on Zarqawi

you gotta believe bush thinks he's going to get a bounce in the polls no matter what the reality of the situation is...
Representative John P. Murtha (D-Penn.), a former Marine and fierce critic of the Iraq war, emphasized, "We cannot win this. It is a civil war they are involved in. Al Qaeda is a small part of this."

there was an abortive swiftboat attack on murtha when he first started speaking out... fortunately, his cred was so massive that it quickly faded away... i'm sure, however, bushco is still working on some way to get him to shut up...

meanwhile, BEFORE the announcement of zarqawi's death...

The Al-Jazeera network broadcast a video by al-Qaida No. 2 Ayman al-Zawahri on Friday in which he spoke about Palestinian and Egyptian politics and the situation in Darfur.

[...]

Al-Zawahri praised the al-Qaida in Iraq leader's efforts to confront U.S.-led forces in Iraq.

"God bless the prophet of Islam in Iraq, the persistent hero of Islam, the Holy Warrior Abu Musab al-Zarqawi," al-Zawahri said.

so, now they have themselves a martyr... terrific...
