Stark Raving Mad
Not everybody's heartened by the timely death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Certain congressional Democrats believe the whole thing was a stunt.
According to Rep. Pete Stark (D-CA), "This is just to cover Bush's [rear] so he doesn't have to answer" for the propaganda barrage our left-leaning media has been directing at the military, as well as his poor poll numbers. "Iraq is still a mess," opines Stark. "Get out."
Stark could be onto something. Considering that the element of surprise is critical in war, when you've just killed the enemy's top general is an ingenious time to surrender. They would never see it coming.
2004 presidential candidate Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) apparently agrees, declaring that al-Zarqawi was only a small part of "a growing anti-American insurgency" and so it's time to turn tail and run.
Democratic Congressmen aren't the only paranoid kooks in this country. There are also the nuts who vote for them. OpinionJournal points to a commenter who had this to say about al-Zarqawi's death on Daily Kos:
By my reckoning he's been dead for years. Great photo-op though. But what news are they trying to keep hidden from us?
as well as a writer at the equally deranged Huffington Post who was inspired to provide this insightful commentary:
If there are any Americans left who believe that the death of Zarqawi is anything other than an orchestrated photo-op, then it's time to start scouting out apartments in Vancouver. I hear no one cares about the weed there, or the marrying homosexuals.
Cheer up, Reps. Stark and Kucinich. al-Zarqawi may be dead, but your voter base is still in place — at least, until it relocates to Vancouver.

I keep hearing this "Oh! Lets move to canada next time something happens we don't agree with!" It never happens. Ever. Canada probably doesn't want them anyway...

Another Moonbat Donk Congressman weighs in: Jack "Retreat 'n' Defeat" Murtha Doubts US Troops Deserve Credit for Offing Zarqawi
Murtha (was asked): “Is it fair to say that this attack and the killing of Al-Zarqawi wouldn’t have happened if US troops were not on the ground?"
Refusing to give President Bush or US troops credit, Murtha responded: "I’m not sure about that. I’m not sure they couldn’t have done it from the outside. If it’s as portrayed, it was a bomb that killed him from the air, so I’m not sure about that."
Lin continued: "Today was a winning strike, congressman. Is there a value to having US forces still in Iraq? What do you think would be a reasonable time-table? You once said six months." Instead of answering Lin’s question, Murtha said: "We cannot win this. It’s a civil war."

Murtha is a total dope. Special forces units on the ground painted the target with a laser which the laser guided bomb homed in on. Murtha is just another insane old geezer. He and Jimmy the PeaNUT Carter should go on the Insane Old Geezers World Tour to support the terrorists.

Again--the irony. The people defending Zarky and the rest of AQ are the very same ones who would be beheaded first under the islamo-nazis.

I remember when Fartney Stork went from Security National Bank to run for Congress in the early 70s. He subsequently dropped the "Fartney" part in favor of "Pete", apparently the grounds that it sounded less elitist. He was a moonbat then, and a moonbat now.

Fortney Stark is originally from the Milwaukee area; he's the scion of a candy-manufacturing family (Stark Candies) and left this area for good reasons. It was really hard for him to find a group of friends who shared his trait--of being an insufferable jackass.
