Ok- According to Brett...5 were taken out by U.S. troops...and 3 took themselves out..got a tip AQ was using this house...very fierce firefight...an AQ site has a statement saying they lost a very senior person...with a photo of Zarq ..
Hhhmmm...
God Bless Iraqi tipsters..
Cap see post 609..
My opinion on this is that if they did get Zarqawi, it's a direct result of his actions in Jordan. After the bombing and the direct threats on the King, Jordanian intelligence decided to take the gloves off. Maybe a member of the intelligence services even knew where he was. But after what's happened in the last 10 days, King Abdullah said "enough," and got us the information that we needed.
Let's hope al-Zarqawi has finally come up snake eyes. Then, let's hope Dubya's still in the mood to serve up a big ol' steamin' cuppa shuddup to Murtha and the rest of the "we've done all we can" clowns.
