NEAR FALLUJAH, Nov. 18 -- U.S. soldiers discovered a house in southern Fallujah on Thursday believed to be a main headquarters for Jordanian-born militant Abu Musab Zarqawi, the leader of an insurgent network responsible for bombings, kidnappings and beheadings across Iraq.
The soldiers found letters reportedly written by Zarqawi to his lieutenants, medical supplies from the U.S. Agency for International Development and the International Red Cross and boxes of ammunition from the Chinese and Jordanian armies.
The house, a simple cement structure, was on a block that Army Maj. David Johnson described as a "one-stop-shop for terrorists."
"That part of town is the most dangerous place on earth," said Johnson, a historian attached to 1st Infantry Divison's Task Force 2-2, which conducted the raid.
U.S. military officials have said they do not know where Zarqawi is or whether he remained in the city when American and Iraqi ground forces swept in the night of Nov. 8.

"Just make sure there are no NBC reporters around. Kevin Sites may attempt to "take the bullet" for his boss"
You say that like it's a bad thing.
Quit messing with Kevin Sites. He's a brave man, going into combat right alongside the Marines. And he's just reporting what he saw. Cut him some slack.
As long as the vehicle wasn't a white Bronco with California plates.
Great! Thanks so much (big smile)LOL
I knew the Democrats in Texas had left the state in order to prevent a quorum due to the redistricing plan, but I didn't think they drove that far!
I'm missing a heavy cruiser. Has anyone seen it?
VEY good point!
Did they check it carefully for tunnels? Could be how Z and his fiends escaped.

It is if you mis Zarqawi because of him

Hrmm, good point. Any ex-crunchies want to expound on the possibilities of the same round or burst taking out the human shield and the target behind them?
First place I'd look would be East LA.
you quipped:
"Mrs. Jones, the good news is that we have located your vehicle. The bad news is..."
LOL. Headlines: "Texas SUV Joins Insurgents in Iraq" Somebody send this to Rush for his SUV file.
The cops have probably already run the plates, so we might know more about their origin shortly. Then again, we might not.
Superb!
and a factory for making car bombs that had a Ford Explorer inside with Texas license plates"
Texas license plates?? Well, here is some fodder for the blackhelicopter crowd...(rolling eyes)
Why? It wasn't a black helicopter with texas plates....
Not enough to say 'Texas' and blame Bush.
Dan Rather has Texas roots; and let's not forget
Travis County district attorney Ronnie Earle...
you know, the guy who tried to neuter Tom DeLay politically.
Run a check on THAT plate.
Umm, wait a sec...
Can anyone say "fifth column?" If they can steal 'em and send them to Middle East, I'm guessing they can bring 'em back, too.

Suicide Bombers in cars with American Plates?
And Texas was a RED state...
