At least one Arab television media outlet reported that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the head of the al-Qaida in Iraq, was killed in Iraq on Sunday afternoon when eight terrorists blew themselves up in the in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul.

The unconfirmed report claimed that the explosions occurred after coalition forces surrounded the house in which al-Zarqawi was hiding.

WASHINGTON, Nov 20 (Reuters) - U.S. authorities are looking into whether al Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was killed in a gunfight in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, a U.S. official said on Sunday, but a White House spokesman said that was "highly unlikely."

The left is behind the scenes figuring how to spin this if it's true. This guy likely had a lot of money with him.

I'm sure the DNC is busy faxing out their "Zarqawi gets killed" talking points as we speak.

"I do hope we can bring most of our soldiers home in a big World War II style celebration."

I agree, when that time comes then nothing short of a WWII celebration is the least we can do, in fact they ought to combine with a very belated Vietnam Vets celebration.

God Bless our troops. And may this evil scourage from the bowels of the earth be in hell right now.

Well, for starters we viciously kept ZarCowi from having his day in court, or a chance to be represented by Ramsey Clark.....

Heh...Heh...Heh...

Ramsey Clark...Heh...Heh...Heh...

I wonder who truly represents Ramsey and stuffs a sock in his mouth when he speaks?

I think that's what did it. Which indicates that our "moderate" Muslim "allies" probably know all about these terrorists and could hand them over at any moment - but won't do so until they personally are threatened.

That's what I'm beginning to think ... rather than let the dreaded infidels take them out- they must have had a suicide pact...if they get close..we'll try to kill em all- if we can't- we'll kill ourselves.

Madmen...in ways we will never comprehend.

It's beginning to look more and more like the Jordan bombings were a huge strategic blunder by them.

The Dems will claim that this was timed to distract from the CIA Leak investigation.

The Democrats and Lefties will say that killing al-Zarqawi will only enrage Al Qaeda, and that we shouldn't have done it. They'll remind us about how we killed Hussein's "boys" and put their bodies on a disrespectful display.

Perhaps a Dem will propose the House pass a resolution in his honor.
