If I'm reading this correctly, this place is completely surrounded, unlike Fallujah where they left an opening for people to escape through.

Makes sense, given the name of the operation. The bad guys are inside the ring while we watch them die. Nice immage.

Just smear the body with bacon grease, dress it in pigskin head to toe, put it in an unmarked grave in the middle of the desert and put the video up on a website.

I like the way you think.

"He's dead, Jim."

[mikegi]

You can bet that we have all our electronic intercepts fired up when a statement like this is released.

[Dead Corpse]

Agreed. Show me his head on a platter. Until then, "Rumors of his demise have been greatly exaggerated" kinda thing.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Another one for the collection!

[No Blue States]

"it would be a welcome event to come across him or his body."

I hope this means without his head attached.

I am past ready to see images of Zarqawi dead or captured. Both the WOT and the DOW could use the resulting shot in the arm.

The US military claims some 100 militants have been killed, but inside sources have admitted however, that they have encountered strong resistance in the town, with the insurgents demonstrating a high level of training.

Leave it to the MSM to rain on their parade, and try and find the cloud around every silver lining. Mentioning that the insurgents are highly trained as the last sentence, along with the numbers of american dead, leads this article down a spiral into another hackjob against the american military, trying to make it look like they're being fair, but in reality taking the armed forces down a peg.

Hmmm...

I sure HOPE this is true and not another false alarm / false report.

Pingin' in case it might be true. :)

IRAQ: AL-ZARQAWI SERIOUSLY INJURED, SAYS
IRAQI OFFICIAL [Operation Matador]

Excerpt:

Baghdad, 11 May (AKI) - The Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is "serious injured, possibly dead" according to Colonel Fouad Hani Hassan, commander of the fifth division of the Iraqi armed forces, cited by 'Elaph', one of the most popular websites in the Arab world. Al-Zarqawi, considered al-Qaeda's leader in Iraq, is believed to have been injured in the major offensive US-led forces have been carrying out in the western Anbar province over the last few days.

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my General Interest ping list!. . .don't be shy.

Not captured, killed. His memory will go the way of Uday and Qusay. He will be forgotten. If alive, he will be a living, breathing hero to millions.

A google search (how I found this article originally) of AKI, Italy, and Pope did not turn up any false reports of the former Pope's demise.

[kinsman redeemer]

This is an interesting twist on the constant "Zarqawi Arrested" stories.

[RoseofTexas]

I'm surprise no one posted the dreaded "NOT THIS S*** AGAIN" pic! LOL!

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

[Quilla]

I'll take that as a good sign. ;-)

[kalee]

I wonder if they aren't trying to flush him out, make him say NO I"M NOT and then they nab him, but so far it hasn't worked.

[theDentist]

Sounds good to me.

[Reborn]

I'm from the SHOW ME state. SHOW ME the proof he's outta action. But here's hoping that it is true.
