The US military is close to locating al-Qaeda's frontman in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, General John Abizaid, the commander of US forces in the region, said.

Uh, General, I'd rather you not tell us, given that he's probably already packed up and moved with this announcement.

[nuffsenuff]

That could be part of the plan.

If we have two or three locations where we think he is, announce we know the location and monitor for activity.

Abizaid gets the benefit of the doubt in my book.

How about a couple of MOABs from about 30,000 feet. Sovreign nation be damned!

Uh, General, I'd rather you not tell us, given that he's probably already packed up and moved with this announcement.

My bet is they don't really know where he is but by announcing that they do he will be flushed into the open long enough for a Predator to lock onto him.

"Uh, General, I'd rather you not tell us, given that he's probably already packed up and moved with this announcement."

He could be doing this to flush the game.

I can undwestand why he said it...get Zarqawi moving.

No, Kerry, Hillary or Kennedy called to tell him the military was on to him.

IMHO, they do these imformation releases in hopes of forcing a move that can be detected, thus exposing the perp to extermination. They said they knew where bin Laden was recently also.

I don't think the General is too stupid.
