Reuters reports that many Iraqis are overjoyed with the death of al-Zarqawi:
"I hope his death will be a new page for Iraq," said baker Zuhair Yassin, 25. "He can burn in hell."
"I'm overjoyed. God willing this will be the end of all terrorists. I hope Iraq can now begin to stabilize now this pig is dead," said Qeysar Ahmed, a Baghdad shop owner as he watched Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki make the announcement in a televised news conference accompanied by U.S. officials.
Of course, Reuters wouldn't be Reuters without throwing some cold water on the efforts of our men in uniform.
Some experts on Islamist groups have accused the United States of playing up the role of Zarqawi in Iraq to exaggerate America's successes in Iraq.
The MSM can try and rain on this parade as much as they'd like. The fact is a brutal terrorist thug is dead. The world is a better place today.
