Let's not forget about bin Laden.

Analysis: Threat will outlive Al-Zarqawi

By JOHN LEICESTER ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

PARIS -- The killing of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi deprives Islamic terrorism of one of its most high-profile and violent poster boys. But it leaves largely intact the threat of attacks from small, independent cells - the "100 bin Ladens" that Egypt's president once said could be spawned by the U.S.-led war on terrorism.

Once they absorb the psychological blow of his death, al-Zarqawi's followers and other militants outside of Iraq not directly associated with him could regroup and continue with their bomb plots and killings.

Al-Qaida has shown great resilience, and its network of networks and followers has continued even as top leaders have been killed or captured. Even with Osama bin Laden in hiding, other militants have stepped forward to make good on his calls for terror attacks. Hundreds of arrests in France, Britain, and elsewhere in Europe have thwarted plots but did not stop the attacks on transport systems in Madrid, Spain, and London.

-I don't think this is the end of the insurgancy. But I hope this is the begining of the end. A great step towards success. Let's hope we can capitolize on this, and bring this war to an end, bring our boys home.

Readers to the rescue.

Reader contributions put us closer to the total of identifying 50 left-wing Country songs.

Skippy the Bush Kangaroo writes in with his sugesstions:

11."goodbye earl" by the [Dixie] chicks

12."independence day" by martina mcbride

13."he thinks he'll keep her" by mary chapin carpenter,

“all hotbeds of feminism that would put nora of the doll's house to shame…”

Jen of Donkey OD:

14. Todd Snider, "Conservative Christian Right Wing Republican Straight White American Male". 15. and 16. John Prine: "Some Humans Ain't Human", "Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven"

17. Loretta Lynn 'The Pill'. (oooh, I like this one)

All these years I've stayed at home While you had all your fun And every year thats gone by Another babys come There's a gonna be some changes made Right here on nursery hill You've set this chicken your last time 'Cause now I've got the pill

NavySwan:

18. Willie Nelson - What happened to peace on earth

19. James McMurtry, We can't make it here anymore. (must listen to this one if you have the chance)

To put us at twenty I'll contribute Tim McGraw's "Drugs or Jesus," where he's practically telling us “Religion is the opiate of the masses.” Everybody just wants to get high Sit and watch a perfect world go by We're all looking for love and meaning in our lives We follow the roads that lead us To drugs or Jesus

Exposing the Leftist agenda in Country Music.

A challenge from John J. Miller:

For the purposes of this list, I’ve viewed a rock song as a tune that’s already played on a “classic rock” radio station or one that might conceivably be played there. This eliminates a lot of “pop songs” that might be called conservative, such as “Love Child” by The Supremes or “Papa Don’t Preach” by Madonna . It also excludes country music, where it is of course much easier to find lyrics that express a conservative sentiment. For what it’s worth, I’d love to see someone assemble of list of the 50 best left-wing country songs.

Well here you are, The first batch of ten. I’ll just write ‘em down in no particular order as they come to me:

1. Johnny Cash, Man in Black. “I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down, Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town, I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime, But is there because he's a victim of the times.” Is there any more of a left-wing sentiment than caring for your fellow man? 2. Willie Nelson, Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys. “Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys, Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old truck’s, Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such.” Education has always been priority #1 on any Lefties’ agenda. 3. The Dixie Chicks, Not Ready To Make Nice. Everyone knows they story behind this one. “I'm not ready to make nice, I'm not ready to back down, I'm still mad as hell and I don't have time to go round and round and round.” A song for all of us that have been made to feel as if we’re wrong for having a different point of view. 4. Shania Twain, She's Just Not A Pretty Face. She's a geologist--a romance novelist She is a mother of three She is a soldier--she is a wife She is a surgeon--she'll save your life Wonder what Brush Lintball has to say about that? Bet ya he'd say she's a man hater. 5. Kris Kristofferson, Broken Freedom Song. “Got a song about a soldier, ridin' somewhere on a train, empty sleeve pinned to his shoulder, and some pills to ease the pain.” Go ahead; keep under funding the VA my Republican friends. Do it in the name of Conservative “smaller government governs best” That's a values vote. 6. Waylon Jennings, Lukenbach Texas. "In your high socitey you cry all day We've been so busy keepin' up with the Jones Four car garage and we're still building on Maby it's time we got back to the basics of love" Wonder what Ol' Waylon would say about Bush's "Ownership Society." 7. Merle Haggard, Fix America First. “Let’s get back on track, Let’s get out of Iraq, And rebuild America first,” ‘nuff said. 8. K. D. Lang, Constant Craving. Long before Hollywood had Ellen, Country had K. D. Lang. 9. John Denver, Sunshine on My Shoulders. Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry Sunshine on the water looks so lovely Sunshine almost always makes me high Sounds like some damned dirty hippie to me. Singing about alternative energy and such. 10. Hank Williams Sr.,Your Cheating Heart. Your cheating heart will make you weep You’ll cry and cry and try to sleep But sleep won’t come the whole night through Your cheating heart will tell on you Special dedication to Tom Noe and Ken Blackwell. -Stay tuned for the next ten... (H/T) His Rudeness My picks:
