Good.

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the most-wanted terrorist in Iraq who waged a bloody campaign of beheadings and suicide bombings, was killed when U.S. warplanes dropped 500-pound bombs on his isolated safehouse, officials said Thursday. His death was a long-sought victory in the war in Iraq.

Al-Zarqawi and several aides, including spiritual adviser Sheik Abdul Rahman, were killed Wednesday evening in a remote area 30 miles from Baghdad in the volatile province of Diyala, just east of the provincial capital of Baqouba, officials said.

“Al-Zarqawi was eliminated,” Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said.

At the White House, President Bush hailed the killing as “a severe blow to al-Qaida and it is a significant victory in the war on terror.” But he cautioned: “We have tough days ahead of us in Iraq that will require the continuing patience of the American people.”

Of course, those on the far left aren’t happy about today’s victory, but we knew that already (and quite frankly, who gives a rip?). Now LET’S MAKE SOME NOIIIISE!!!
