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.

You are right on this. These terrorists who are not killed will be made into marytrs and victims by our liberal press.
I suspect that Berkley is selling Zarqawi T-shirts by the gross already.
16-inch/50 caliber guns.
He just wants to kill infidels like his Islamist soul-mates.
"...a factory for making car bombs that had a Ford
Explorer inside with Texas license plates."
"What in the world would explain that???"
It is OBL's wish to die in the belly of the beast...maybe that's his trojan horse hearse.
I think it was TN. There was that employee whose car mysteriously burned up, killing her, that they think was feeding them documents and such.
The USS Hull was not a battleship, but it did have an automatic 8 inch 55 caliber gun in the 1970s and 1980s.
'No other non-battleship ship in the US Navy, or any other that I know of, has 8 inch guns.'
USS Long Beach? USN gun cruiser in Vietnam
And Jordan is supposed to be an ally.
USS Long Beach was originally all-missile; she got a couple of open-mount five-inchers added after a failed SHOOTEX for President Kennedy.
You're thinking of the USS Newport News, the last all-gun cruiser in the US Navy.
that's what I was looking for.
I knew it was one of those "squid" towns. Thanks
Do you have your H.E.A.T. decal? It authorizes law enforcement officers to stop the vehicle and verify ownership, between 1:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m., anywhere in Texas. So if don't use your vehicle between 1 and 5 am or use it so rarely that you don't mind being stopped, you can place this decal on your vehicle and if a policeman sees it on the street from 1 to 5 they will stop it and check that it isn't being driven by a thief. If it has the decal it will be stopped and the documents checked at the Mexican border as well.
Since the WP makes no mention of how long the facilities appeared to have been operating I would assume that they were there BEFORE spring 2003.
Or hindquarters.
You're right. My mistake. Iowa and SD and North Carolina classes all had 16 inchers. The Hood had 15 in and so did some older British classes.
Mrs. Jones, the good news is that we have located your vehicle. The bad news is...
