As predicted yesterday, many liberals have been spotted crying in their milk. They just can’t bring themselves to say one good thing about the death of Zarqawi. Yesterday on the evening news, they all seemed to come out in favor of the attack. But that was when they had a camera staring at them in the face. Cowards!

But only a few hours later when talking to the paper or writing their blogs their attitudes had changed. I guess that’s so they can say” I was for it before I was against it.”

Here are a few of the comments reported in papers and blogs. Nancy Pelosi comments can be seen on the News page.

The comments below are what liberals really think about the killing of Zarqawi yesterday but didn’t have the guts to say to a tv camera.

"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, "Iraq is still a mess — get out." -Rep. Pete Stark, California Democrat.

Zarqawi was a small part of "a growing anti-American insurgency" and that it’s time to get out.
"We’re there for all the wrong reasons," -Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich, Ohio Democrat

As the civilized world justly celebrates the long overdue killing of Abu M al-Zarqawi, it must recall that his death was brought about by what has come to be known as “targeted assassination” or "targeted killings." This is the same technique that has been repeatedly condemned by the international community when Israel has employed it against terrorists who have murdered innocent Jews.- Alan Dershowitz

I suspect this will only get worse in the days to come. As all Democrats seem to know is doom and gloom. Their leader Nancy Pelosi is already using this as a stepping stone as part of a larger debate on the war in Iraq. (ie. reasons to bring the troops home immediately).

But we as Americans and Republicans need to stand for Freedom at all costs. The founders did no less. In the famous words of Patrick Henry, “Give me liberty or give me death.”
