Father of beheaded American (and some Democrats) decry killing of Zarqawi

The father of slain American contractor, Nicolas Berg, has spoken out against the killing of Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi by a U.S. Air Force precision bombing strike. He happens to be running for Delaware's lone House seat, and said that the death of Al-Zarqawi (the person who actually wielded the knife against Berg's son) won't "bring him closure."

I'm sorry to hear that, and I hope this doesn't screw up his campaign photo op, but we weren't trying to catch/kill Al-Zarqawi to bring closure to Michael Berg. We were trying to prevent future murders of other folks' children by Al-Zarqawi or his Jihadist minions.

And along the same lines, here's a statement from a paranoid genius in the U.S. House:
"This is just to cover Bush's [rear] so he doesn't have to answer" for Iraqi civilians being killed by the U.S. military and his own sagging poll numbers, said Rep. Pete Stark, California Democrat. "Iraq is still a mess -- get out."
