"Oh don't be alarmed Zarq - I just happened to be in the neighborhood and I thought I'd drop by to say hello. Gotta go, busy schedule donchaknow, but I'll be back real soon. Oh, I almost forgot, Osama sends his regards."

Some Iraqi Sunni Muslim insurgents said the announcement of his injury earlier this week revealed a power struggle within his group. Zarqawi had suffered a gun wound, insurgents said in interviews and internet statements.
A leader within the group, Abu Jalal Iraqi, said: "He is wounded in his right lung, in which the bullets crossed and remained in his back … [and] is being given respiration." This heightened suspicion that groundwork was being laid for the announcement of his replacement or death.
Various insurgent sources have said he was wounded in an ambush by US marines and Iraqi forces last weekend around the western city of Ramadi. But a US military official, Lieutenant-Colonel David Lapan, said he had found no record of such an ambush.
US and Iraqi forces say they have captured or killed about two dozen top members of Zarqawi's network in recent months. The Sunni insurgent sources said such deaths may have undercut support for Zarqawi.

"Doc says you gonna die."
I can't think of a better recipient for a sucking chest wound, myself.
Die, scumbag, homicidal mainiac, die.
A sucking chest wound....well, sucks.....
Feeling frothy and pink Mr. Z??? Want a ham sandwich to get ready for your 72 Virginians??????
Not just a chest wound, but a bullet still lodged somewhere around in his back
There was a gangster in the 20s or 30s who hung around with Babyface (I think I recall correctly) who had a similar gunshot wound through the lung. The guy died several days later after an agonizing infection set in and slowly aspirated him by filling his lungs up with puss.
Horrible way to die. Al Zarq may be the only human deserving of that type of wound.
actually, more than one bullet...it gets better...
Something we suspected if true...
May the stupidest leader win.
It's a virtual certainty that he's in Iran getting medical treatment.
Man, just one of those can ruin a perfectly good afternoon.
Yo Zarqawi - I guess right about now it "sucks" to be you.
Source?
Everyone wants to be a leader but then who would be followers?
The same source who reported him wounded stated that he'd left Iraq for a neighboring country to get medical attention. If you were him, would you go to Syria, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, or Iran?
You'd go to the Axis of Evil, of course.
May the Stupidest leader win ..the next bullet wound.
"Horrible way to die. Al Zarq may be the only human deserving of that type of wound."
Agree about Zarqawi, but ALL of the Islamo-fascist scum-suckers deserve such a death! He's far from alone in his evil.....
