perfidy

Dale Franks over QandO notes that media perception of the importance of Zarqawi seems to have evolved a bit since his fortunate demise. I noticed a bit of this myself, as CNN concluded that his death would have little effect on the insurgency. I heard things like, "The insurgency is a hydra, cut off one head and two grow back" and more of the same. I can't but believe, though, that the loss of Zarqawi is a major blow to them, not us. Go team.
