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."

"I don't know if it's plausible- but IF he's dead- they may want to keep it quiet to smoke out some others- or just sit back and to see what they do next.

Nevermind..that was a Tinfoil Thought..."

IMHO, that WASN'T a "Tinfoil Thought". They might want "THEM" to still "answer the phone" if the "Z" calls 'em......

It would be welcome news for a change but I'll wait until the body is paraded on TV.

I'd rather the WH say: We're picking up the pieces, we'll let you know what we find.

Well how do you like that. All he had to do was threaten the King and Queen of Jordan (the queen is absolutely stunningly beautiful by the way) in order to get himself killed. Why didn't he do this years ago??? It sure would have saved us some headaches!

Yeah, the green blood is really bad. I squashed a tomato caterpillar once and it WAS an alien. Thank heaven!

Still if it was Zarqawi the WH absolutely must have a prime time speech to the nation about it.

Otherwise I will go the DC and give Rove a swift kick in the ass.

How 'bout this one:

It Was A Very Bad Year MIDI

When we came to Iraq

It was a very bad year

We just couldn't get them to leave

First they caught Saddam

And then elections came

It was a very bad year for us

We tried our best

We had the media on our side

We tried scare tactics and bombs

But nothing worked

Zarqawi always told us to fight on

But he never seemed to be around when we did

And now he might be gone

Now we're on the run

It's not any fun

It's been a very bad year

For us

I just saw a report that the US was actively working to identify bodies of terrorists killed today. I've been watching football all day. Do people actually believe this?

Here is something else to think about. AQ has never been sloppy when it came to protecting its leaders....how did a force this big(US/Iraqi) get within a half mile of that farmhouse without it being noticed.

Where were the AQ pickets.
