Sniff!

I definitely smell bullshit.

Bush said the death of the Jordanian-born Zarqawi "is a severe blow to al Qaeda," a victory in the war on terrorism, "and it is an opportunity for Iraq's new government to turn the tide in this struggle."

Think of a huge corporation. Think IBM for example. Think of many branch managers. Think what happens if one of those managers dies on the way to work.

OMG! We're going under! No more IBM!

Bullshit. Someone will step in. Probably someone already being groomed to replace al-Zarqawi. After all, terrorist has to be one of the most dangerous job descriptions in the world. There's a pretty good chance you'll lose someone at any minute. I seriously doubt they can get life insurance.

Al-Qaeda won't miss a beat. Sometimes I think Bush believes all Americans are as stupid as he is.
