exurb

A sparsely populated area, that is currently making the transition from rural to suburban, located usually on the fringes of a metropolitan area. Often times, it may be populated by wealthy estates, hobby farms, as well as existing rural towns, and usually with larger, more-mainstream suburban development on the brink of happening.

That exurb is growing so fast that the town can barely keep up the services to allow it to function.

al-zarqawi

An extremist muslim terrorist belonging to al-Qaida. He was a despicable excuse for a human being who held Americans hostage and cut off their heads and led a mission to kill Americans in Iraq.

The United States military killed him in 2006 and continue to kill other al-Qaida members like him everyday in the War in Iraq. Unfortunately, the Democrats conveniently overlook this fact when advocating we pull out of Iraq.

Person 1: "Hey remember al-Zarqawi?"
Person 2: "al who?"
Person 1: "Um, the terrorist that cut off people's heads and led the al-Qaida mission to kill Americans in Iraq?"
Person 2: "Oh yeah"
Person 1: "Yeah, we killed him in 2006 and we continue to kill terrorists like him all the time in the War in Iraq
Person 2: "Gee, maybe we should stay in Iraq and continue to kill these bad guys before they come and attack innocent American civilians like they did on 9/11"
Person 1: "Exactly"
