Cavuto: "Would it kill Dems to give Bush credit for Zarqawi's death?"

This one showed up on Fox's front page (http://www.foxnews.com/), with a very apropos photo of portly little Neil looking as if he's on the verge of tears:



Would it kill the Dems to give President Bush credit for Zarqawi's death? Read Neil's Common Sense

Zarqawi Zapped: Silence Is Deafening

How often do you hear those two words? If never, it could mean one of two things: (a) You're not doing a good job, or (b) You are, but no one cares to mention it. It's like those stories of parents with the kid who comes home with straight "As" and one "B," and the dad focuses on the one "B." My mom and dad were just grateful if I continued advancing in school! But that's not my point. Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is.

We kill the guy — good news. But from Democrats there's barely a good word, if any word at all, for the president. I think Nancy Pelosi more or less said: well, it's about time. Never mind they never spared criticism of the war, or magnified every little thing going wrong with the war. But would it have killed anyone to simply say, "Good job, Mr. President. You nabbed a bad guy."

Would it have killed the advocates of pulling out of Iraq to say that had we done so earlier, we would have never gotten Zarqawi? Of course not. Republicans were just as guilty of this behavior during the Clinton years: Few tipping their hat to the president for presiding over a pretty good economy. The way I see it, we all make mistakes and this president, like the one before him, has had some doozies. But now and then, they do something right — like killing a guy who loved to kill us. That's pretty good, because he was pretty bad.

Now, several dead people later, we're supposed to thank him?

letting the bad guy cross the borders and then ignored the fact that he was a real threat....

We may never know the real story. Too many lies mixed in with the reality.

Sen John McCain:

""When asked this week on CNN how long the U.S. military is likely to remain in Iraq, Senator John McCain replied "probably" 10 or 20 years. "That's not so bad," he said...""

and what about those 14 permanent bases ?

And all credit goes to the brave men and women of the US marines who eliminated Zarqawi. Not to the bumbling Chimp-in-Chief who has made a mess of Iraq which will haunt us for generations to come in Middle East foreign policy and who has also destroyed several thousands of lives through his ineptitude and callousness.

Impeachment hearings over a BJ. Go cry in your fucking beer Neil....

then we should also give Bush credit for Haditha.

:sarcasm:

I think I will.

:-)

... that Bush deliberately let Zarqawi live for years, at the cost of hundreds of innocent people's lives, to help build his case for his unnecessary and disastrous war:

Once they acknowledge that, I'll be sure to give Dubya an attaboy.

they got right.

prefers to let others place their lives in danger as he did during the Vietnam conflict. I call such behavior cowardly.

Even without being reminded by Randi Rhodes, NBC's evening news reported in 2004 that the military presented plans to eliminate him in 2002 and the plans were not acted on because they would weaken the reasons to go to war. $250 billion and all we've really done is depose a dictator and kill a third rate punk. I've got better things to do with my money. Blow off the "tax and spend" label for what it is, BS! True Dem's don't mind spending money if it accomplishes something, but when you've got "so called" news sources presenting truth and lies as being equal it puts the burden on us to figure out which is which. The best things the Dems can do is stick to the facts and back them up. People aren't as stupid as the right think they are. What they are is uninformed. It's up to us to change that. This is our call to arms. Can you be the next Tom Paine or Paul Revere?

I think you can.

I can't stand him. Or any of the other drones on Faux, for that matter.

everything is a schoolyard tiff to them

responsibility for Hadita. Does that sound like a fair trade?

Can't have one without the other.

Why should I be thrilled that a man is dead because our president lied us into a war that has slaughtered hundreds of thousands of innocent people? When Bush finds a way to undo his mass murder or when he pleads guilty to treason and war crimes, I'll give him some credit. Until then, all I see is more dead bodies.

So if a known terrorist gets captured and someone deserves glory for that, then I give kudos to *gasp* THE TROOPS! Bush didn't do a damn thing really. And if he's not going to take responsibility for the bad and the ugly, then he doesn't deserve any of the good either.


Now I say this in a very general terms due to the inconsistencies concerning the Zarqawi capture and subsequent death but you get my drift. ;)

Since when did Americans celebrate such nonsense?

There were no WMDs, so why are we still in Iraq? Killing people is not particularly good subterfuge. It only works on people that are distracted by shiny objects.

since the * cabal came to power...and corrupted our great country!!

As much as it would pain Faux News to even hear or read someone saying this, I feel obliged to point out that Buckaroo Bush, by failing to secure Iraq properly after invading it in 2003, gave Zarqawi a whole new playground to wreak mayhem, and that the late and lamentable Zarqawi took full advantage of the opportunities the US Banana Republican gave him. Thousands of Iraqis died because Buckaroo Bush bungled the occupation, thousands more were maimed, and tens of thousands of Iraqis lost fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, and other loved ones because of Bush's star-spangled bungle. Nothing Faux News and other right-wing propaganda touts and shills can conceal those unpleasant facts.

Once is enough I would guess.

The only credit Bush deserves is for the murder of thousands of innocent people in the name of his greed.

BUSH & CHENEY BELONG IN GITMO!

:kick:here ya go, Puto Cavuto.

Viet Nam? Yes, apparently, it would have, since they literally attacked him while lionizing Stay-at-Home Shrub.

Typical double standard. They whine that Bush gets blamed for things - he can't be blamed when things go wrong, but when things go well, Shrub should get "credit." Too hilarious!

Will be more than happy to acknowledge the achievements of the Clinton Administration and give Clinton credit for eight years of peace and prosperity. The silence from them on the issue is deafening

Bush didn't kill Zarqawi. The military did. And since they were batting about 0-60 on their surgical strikes for getting their targets I guess it's about time they nailed one. The bad luck had to run out sometime.

But Bush didn't do it. More credit should be given to the Iraqi who ratted him out.

Mz Pip
:dem:

Yes, the military killed him. And while there's nothing like "solid intelligence," we didn't find him because of it. We found him because his homeboy smelled $25 million in the air...which he ended up not getting...and he dialed the "tip line."

Intelligence involves surveillance, research, following leads...we got a phone call from a guy wanting to make a fast buck and then we blew up the Z-man's hidey-hole.

During all of this, Bush rode his bike, ate pretzels, yelled at a few White House interns, watched some cartoons, played Nintendo...

But no...Bush didn't kill Zarqawi. Zarqawi's buddy put the bullet in the chamber and handed the gun to the U.S. Military.
