Maybe He Was Framed... Literally

New reports indicate that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was still alive when US troops arrived on the scene. He actually died on a stretcher while medics were attempting to treat his wounds. No word on whether he had an opportunity to pick out that lovely picture frame himself before dying.

Damn shame he didn't live longer. If there was any justice in this world he would have lived long enough for us to chop his damn head off. After all, if it was good enough for his victims, it should be good enough him as well.

And did you see Al-Qaeda's take on Zarqawi's death?

"We want to give you the joyous news of the martyrdom of the mujahed sheik Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

``The death of our leaders is life for us. It will only increase our persistence in continuing holy war so that the word of God will be supreme."

Very eloquently put. In fact, it inspires me to want to give the whole bunch of them even more life.

Frankly, I've never understood the whole 72 virgins thing. First of all, I'm not sure what the big appeal is. I'd rather, er, 'do it' with someone who doesn't need constant coaching on what goes where. Secondly, what happens after you're done with your allotment of virgins? Is that it for the rest of eternity? Do you never again have sex? Do you just spend the rest of forever jerking off?

Perhaps I should read the Koran and see it it addresses these important issues.
