Sad news in Liberaland. The man they love to hate to love, had his ticket punched by the great U.S. military.

And watch how the leaders of Liberaland immediately went to work to show just how bad it is that Zarqawi is dead.

Starting off with Reuters, who rushed out to the "anti-war activist and candidate for U.S. Congress", Michael Berg

Michael Berg, whose son Nick was beheaded in Iraq in 2004, said on Thursday he felt no sense of relief at the killing of the al Qaeda leader in Iraq and blamed President Bush for his son's death.

Asked what would give him satisfaction, Berg, an anti-war activist and candidate for U.S. Congress, said, "The end of the war and getting rid of George Bush."

The United States said its aircraft killed Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the insurgent leader who masterminded the death of hundreds in suicide bombings and was blamed for the videotaped beheading of Nick Berg, a U.S. contractor, and other captives.

"I don't think that Zarqawi is himself responsible for the killings of hundreds of thousands of people in Iraq," Berg said in a combative television interview with the U.S. Fox News network. "I think George Bush is.

Nancy Pelosi:

Zarqawi's death should be a resounding call to President Bush and the Republican Congress that we must have a serious debate about U.S. policy in Iraq. His death does not alter the fact that our brave men and women in uniform are fighting a war of choice in which the President sent our troops into harm's way without a plan for victory and without leveling with the American people.

Cindy Sheehan:

"Peace Mom" Cindy Sheehan said Friday that she's troubled by the death of al-Qaida's top operational terrorist, Abu Musab al Zarqawi, predicting that it will actually make things worse for U.S. troops in Iraq.

"I suspect it's gong to make the insurgency in Iraq worse," she told Cincinnati, Ohio's 9News.

The Media: (from an article by David Limbaugh in Newsmax.com)

ABC's Diane Sawyer asked former White House adviser and Bush critic-at-large Richard Clarke whether Iraq was any safer and the war would end any sooner after Zarqawi's death. A glum Clarke said, "Well, unfortunately, the answer is no." He then said Zarqawi only commanded a few hundred people out of tens of thousands involved in the insurgency. Huh? Were the libs saying that before he was killed?

NBC's Tim Russert said the death would probably not "change things on the ground," noting that "foreign fighters are not the only threat that confront Iraq. There is this sectarian violence between the Sunnis and the Shiites, and that is separate above the killing of Zarqawi we're witnessing today."

Yes, Tim, but would it be too painful for you to acknowledge that one of Zarqawi's primary missions was to foment that sectarian violence?

And this from NBC...

An Iraqi man who was one of the first people on the scene after an airstrike that led to the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi told Associated Press Television News that he saw American troops beating a man who had a beard like the al-Qaida leader.

The witness said he saw the man lying on the ground, badly wounded but still alive. He said U.S. troops arriving on the scene wrapped the man's head in an Arab robe and began beating him. His account cannot be independently verified.

Oh, it can't be verified, but it sure as heck can be reported. Maybe they should ask Dan Rather or USA Today to verify it for them.

And now, from me:

Liberals before the death of Zarqawi:

"When will Bush get Zaqawi? He is still alive! We love the troops, it's not their fault we have not captured or killed Zarqawi. It's Bush's fault!!!"


Liberals after the death of Zarqawi:

"Way to go, troops!!! Bush had nothing to do with it."

That's it. There we are.
