Slightly OT:

Drudge has the siren up, saying that the GOP is essentially calling the Dems' hand, and demanding an up or down vote tonight at 7:00 on whether we should immediately withdraw the troops from Iraq.

Probably a savvy move, if for no other reason than you get the moonbats on record again.

Thanks for the tip!

Can we stop with the stupid "we are creating more terrorists by being in Iaq" crap now? They don't just want to kill us, they want to kill everyone who isn't them. In the last week we have seen the bombing of Jordanian hotels which killed mosty muslims including a wedding party, two mosques and now a threat to behead the King of Jordan.

How this means we are creating terrorists escapes me.

The story goes on to say that Zarqawi claims the wedding party thing was a mistake -- odd, since it says the bomber observed the wedding party for a few minutes before detonating -- and that the bomb was really intended for unspecified intelligence officials.

Which is interesting, because it means Zarqawi is twisting and turning to sound simultaneously a) sorry for blowing up Muslims (he's clearly not) and b) menacing in the precision and accuracy of his soldiers.

I'd be interested to see whether your typical Jordanian spots the holes in this story.

Probably a savvy move, if for no other reason than you get the moonbats on record again.

Please, God, don't let the republicans wimp out on this.

As to threatening Jordan, good. They don't have their hands tied like we do here. So, maybe Jordanian security will succeed where we have failed.

and that the bomb was really intended for unspecified intelligence officials

*snort* I had that figured out after the first day, and who the officials actually were. Ace linked my analysis/speculation ages ago.

Zarqawi OFF WITH IS HEAD
