I've been watching CNN this morning do everything they can to throw a big soggy blanket over the news that Zarqawi has been dispatched with. Most of it involves some version of "Yes, Zarqawi is dead, but..."
Will this end the insurgency and the violence? Of course not. Is it a key turning point in the war? Possibly, but at this point I don't think anyone knows for sure.
What do know is that this guy was a sworn enemy of the United States and an evil SOB. Taking him out is good news and at least for one day, we should celebrate it thusly.
UPDATE: Video of the strike now available from CentCom.
