Blame America First
The United States military has just eliminated one of the most brutal, bloodthirsty, murderous terrorists in the world, and almost as if on cue, U.S. troops are accused of abuse.
The Associated Press is reporting that an Iraqi man claims that he saw American troops beating a man believed to be Abu Musab al-Zarqawi after the air strike on the building in which Zarqawi was located.
We can count on the left-wing kook blogs to present this as more evidence of U.S. brutality. The networks are likely to report these accusations; al-Jazeera will pick it up and blast it all over the Arab world, and the United States will once again have proven itself to be the "Great Satan."
Never mind who or what al-Zarqawi was. Never mind that he was largely responsible for numerous beheadings and likely personally beheaded Olin Armstrong, Ken Bigley, and Nicholas Berg. Never mind that he planned hotel bombings in both Iraq and Jordan, killing dozens. Never mind that he was responsible for planning untold numbers of suicide and roadside bombings that killed hundreds of people. Never mind that he planned a chemical attack in Amman which could have killed 80,000 people had the attack been successfully completed.
Never mind any of that. Let's just blame American troops for inhumane treatment of this butcher.

I heard on the news that the autopsy results showed Zarqawi had not been beaten.
Of course, the loons on the left will accuse the person performing the autopsy (I don't know if it was Americans or Iraqis) of being partial, or of covering up, or of acting under the direct orders of President Bush to conceal the truth about how Zarqawi really died.
