When they catch him, maybe the French will loan us a guillotine.

I'd vote for a chainsaw, on slow speed.

[kimosabe31]

I don't know why the hell this is even being reported except for some PR value. It certainly doesn't improve security of these people or their mission.

[dc-zoo]

How about the same dull knife that bastard has been using?

[Mustng959]

In response to:
"and twice has come very close to killing him, Pentagon officials said yesterday."

Third times a charm!

[carl in alaska]

"I do not want to hear of this until after Zarqawi is captured or killed. Even they read the internet.

They already know everything in this short article.

[Minus_The_Bear]

exactly. it's not like he doesn't know we're after him.

[carl in alaska]

I think we'll nail Zarqawi in the next few months. That $25 million reward and safe passage out of Iraq is awfully inviting to people in this area of Iraq.

[rennatdm]

a dull butcher knife would be in order

[stylin19a]

perhaps...but it makes the hunted more cautious - assuming they read pentagon reports, or read the Post, or watch Fox/CNN etc...

[KingNo155]

Todays pikes are the front pages of newpapers, when we catch him He'll be thier, no need for a lynching either cause he's got alot of war crimes to answer for his death is certain.

[Stonedog]

Should this be reported?

I suspect that this operation has been going on for some time. The media just finally got wind of it.

[Pastnowfuturealpha]

Doesn't it strike as odd - all these demands when people are captured - yet no group has taken hostages and demanded the release of their once powerful leader - ? Even Dr. Germ is more important to them - (gosh, could she have the answers that the Socialist Democrats dread will come out)

Strange bedfellows or what -

[grey_whiskers]

Only one 'cure' for this guy:

How about a last meal consisting of ham-and-cheese sandwiches, washed down by Samuel Adams?

[sheik yerbouty]

Axe him a few questions..

[hummingbird]

Zarqawi is an evil many times worse the OBL. Right now, he just doesn't have the financial backing.

I agree. I'll step out on this one & say that Zarqawi has always been the "mastermind" - has always been #1. OBL has always been #2 with the responsibility for providing the "charisma" in order to recruit and fundraise. The bonus in this setup is always having the focus on OBL instead of the brains of the operation, Zarqawi. We get to do the public hate on OBL (and justifiably so) but Zarqawi is the head of snake and always has been. IMHO.

Of course, Zarqawi knows he is being hunted down by all means necessary & he has to know that someone somewhere would be willing to turn him in if they did not fear for their life or something along those lines. That's got to make a fella a little shaky and prone to error...so reminding him, frequently, that he is target #1 is probably a good tactic. Again, IMHO!

[Nepalis]

Don't give change to him , behead Zarqawi .

[The South Texan]

I hope we catch this devil, hopefully this week before the debate. I can just see Kerry and the liberal, stinking Rat media saying this won't make a difference.

[Jorge]

How about the same dull knife that bastard has been using?

That would be too merciful for this evil monster..he's chosen to murder innocent and defenseless civilians with incredible cruelty.....his suffering should be never-ending.

[Norman Arbuthnot]

I don't know why the hell this is even being reported except for some PR value. It certainly doesn't improve security of these people or their mission.

I'm sure this news is being reported for PR reasons. I think the Administration and DOD want the American people to know that killing Zarqawi is a high priority.

However, I don't think this news compromises the operational security of Task Force 626. Zarqawi is media savvy and smart enough to know that he is now at the top our Sh#t List in Iraq. This brazen SOB has asking for special attention for a while now. In the latest beheading video's he has been directly insulting Bush and Blair. He called Bush a dog in one video, which I understand is one the worst insults that one can use in the Arabic culture. That's for the Al Jazeera audience I'm sure. With this latest round of atrocities he has definitely raised the stakes.

It's very important that TF 626 terminates Zarqawi with extreme prejudice soon.

Ok, maybe the axe thing is too soft. Draw and quarter him, burn him at the stake, then cut off his head and put it on a spike to show off to other would-be jihadiots.
