GIBSON: You know, we talked about it a minute ago before we went on the air. Out in Las Vegas, the far-left-wing Daily Kos is having its big convention. Every major democratic leader -- Howard Dean, Harry Reid, John Kerry -- is coming out to speak, and they have been defeated in Southern California, [Brian] Bilbray won.
ROLLINS: Right.
GIBSON: Zarqawi was caught the day their convention opens. This is -- the left is demoralized by this.
ROLLINS: Well, they'll claim it's a conspiracy theory. That we knew their meeting was going on and that's why we did it.
GIBSON: Well, they are claiming that. They are claiming at this moment that they were saving Zarqawi to kill at an important moment.
ROLLINS: Well, you know, obviously, that's not true. And obviously, it makes them unhappy, so be it. It gives them something to talk about. The key thing here, though, is that it does show that our intelligence and our special services are working very well, and that's what I think is the most positive thing involved.
GIBSON: Republican strategist Ed Rollins. Ed, thanks very much.
ROLLINS: My pleasure.
GIBSON: It's always good to see you.
