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."

If the information in post #609 is accurate, that is if there is an AQ site posted as reported on Fox, then we've really got some terrorists that were truly HVT's.

[mainepatsfan]

I got excited when I heard that.

Kommie Katie will be telling her audience of a-holes tomorrow morning that Al-Z was a misunderstood yute.

[Cap Huff]

Yes, a value-added post.

It's highly likely that the Al Qaeda wing of the Democrat party are likely to behead themselves in mourning over the likely suicide of Zarqawi.

Just about every Democrat excepting Lieberman, no?

[mainepatsfan]

She'll be doing her best to downplay his death and trying to boost the spirits of the other Iraqi "freedom fighters".

[moose2004]

I wonder how the dems will callously try to claim some credit for his death?

HABEUS CORPUS al-Zarqawi

"Produce the body"

Of course one can "pray" anyway they want. That being said, God Justice clearly is not on this earth. If it were, there would not be so much injustice out there... There's absolutely no indication that God has been "smiting the bad guys" for the last several thousand years anyway. Do you think he would have waited this long to take care of this raghead creep if he were inclined to intervene?

I suspect you have not been reading the Bible carefully, because it records that God does bring justice, and oftentimes on this earth. May I suggest you look up Agag and Jezebel.

If it were not for a re-evaluation of the failed Bush strategy by the Democrats, we would not have had the opportunity to get Zarqawi.

"I hope they don't need 72 hours. My heinie will be sound asleep by then."

Well the pic that No Blue States posted earlier of your "legs", will be keeping some of us "wide awake"...

Zarqawi caught/killed contracts way UP

[babygene]

I guess you skipped right over the "for the last several thousand years anyway" part...

[mainepatsfan]

That's an encouraging sign.

[eddiemunster]

LOL-You've nailed it!

[YoungBlackRepublican]

Where will the Democrats get their talking points now?


As usual...Howard Dean...lol

[irons_player]

I heard the DNC is in a hurry to find a replacement.

[SE Mom]

I'd expect pretty soon after he learned what his boys had actually done..he began seeing virgins in his dreams...

In the meantime..Brett also mentioned the Jordanians will have fingerprints on him- since they arrested him awhile back...
