Just breaking on Fox News! Zarqawi in custody!

[zarf]

Wouldn't that be sweet.

[Dallas59]

Can't rely on any news source anymore. Still have to wait 6 hours for a story to pan out.

[ChadGore]

OWNED

[dandelion]

Boohoohoo - I can't wait six hours - I still haven't gone to bed yet! I'm sleepy!!

Phooey.

[Rastus]

It's possible we have him and the military is denying it so they can round up some other people in the process, or carry out some other kind of operation. Who knows.

[Howlin]

I'm right with you.....

*Blink* *Blink*

[ambrose]

Breaking on Fox...

Al Gore captured

[Howlin]

Straight jacket?

[Chief_Joe]

It would be better if he were being held by an "unknown" splinter group of coalition supporters who would dress him up in an orange jump suit, tie his hands and feet with rope, and threaten to cut his head off with a dull knife if Osuma Bin Laden is not handed over in the next 24 hours. Off course the captors  could cover their faces and video tape the event to show how bold the big bad terrorist is when he realizes it's his time to go.

[dandelion]

Nuts. I nearly went to bed just a second ago, but then, I thought: "Just one refresh. Just ONE hit..."

FreeRepublic is like political crack. You can't freep just one...

[eastforker]

Well, it would be a lot easier to just find him dead later in a pile of rubble, rather than to put him on trial and all that.( wink, wink, nudge)

[Howlin]

You are SO right.........LOL.

(I'm really interested in that ALARM thing they were talking about on the other thread.....I am hopeless!)

From Reuters:

U.S. Military Checking Reports of Zarqawi Capture
Mon Jun 28, 2004 05:20 AM ET
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The U.S. military said on Monday it was checking unconfirmed reports that al Qaeda ally Abu Musab al-Zarqawi had been captured in Iraq.

The Jordanian-born Zarqawi, who Washington says is its number one enemy in Iraq, is accused of masterminding a string of suicide bombings and of the execution of an American and a South Korean hostage.

The reports suggested that Zarqawi had been captured near the town of Hilla, south of Baghdad and in the Polish military area of responsibility.

"We are working on that issue," a U.S. military official said.

A Polish spokesman added: "I cannot confirm that information... When the operation is ongoing at the moment I cannot make any comment."

LOL

"A Polish spokesman added: 'I cannot confirm that information... When the operation is ongoing at the moment I cannot make any comment.'"

Wow. I hope that some journalist didn't blow it by crowing too soon.

Interesting response. Maybe there will be some good news later. I pray...

[SirLurkedalot]

Yep.

[ken5050]

Disagree...if captured, and turned over to the Iraqis for interrogation, he WON'T be wearing panties on his head...

[SirLurkedalot]

He should'nt be wearing his head either.

Our marvelous effort has reached the forward-breakover point when Democracy for Iraq has reached the "on" state. The resistance efforts by the Islamo-terrorists has failed miserably. The world is growing more against them as they increase their barbaric behavior. The more over the top behavior on their part will further consolidate the opposition against them.

The be-headings is not only barbaric, it is a tactic that is their greatest error. It is a window that shows the world who they really are: a group of stupid automatons who can never be allowed the rule over people. These people belong in the Stone Age; not the age of cell phones and Dish TV. The world has moved light years beyond them as if they were stuck in some time-warp that has kept them frozen in a world of centuries past. They are proving that Darwin's thinking about a more primitive man overcome and driven to extinction by a more advanced human as true. The only thing they will win is the Darwin Award, like the auto thief who tried to shoot back at the police but instead, shot himself in the head.
