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 picture that you posted shows a US soldiers left by his fellow soldiers and the caption of the picture talk about the betrayal of the soldier. I think that is a despicable picture because the US military never leave anyone behind.

We should present the opposite: That he was quivering and bawling like a baby just before the strike.


And that he peed his little terrorist pants.

"At this moment, Katie Couric is praying that Zarkawi has safely escaped to Syria."

If true, she will be wearing black tomorrow morning.

Gee, do you think, if they blew themselves up they might get 72 Helen Thomas's each?

Why are Dems and islamofascists so ugly?

We should be careful of highlighting and cheering this until we have a confirmed kill.

The left-wing papers will just play up the story that he is a superman that we cannot defeat and we should just pull-out of Iraq if he suddenly resurfaces in a few days.

"Wait till confirmation trap" alert.

If Zarqawi played video games he might feel like this about now. Its called, "has anybody seen my corpse?"

Zarqawi is very important. OBL is important, but is likely just a figurehead at this point, he is not involved in anything operationallly.
