did you finish reading it ? a quick death is and i`m sure you`ll agree is to good for this bastard !!!!!!!!!!

[Americanexpat]

Yes I did finish reading it and I agree it is better he died like this than having him posture for the media and the leftist cry babies.

[AmeriBrit]

I've lurked on teen sites that have more intelligent answers than what those on DU come up with. Their main topic was still stuck on Fridays vote.

Fresh giblets for thanksgiving (even the dogs wouldn't eat it)

[RobFromGa]

whats the latest, is this rumor real or not...

[xcamel]

MSM is giving it a little coverage - comfirmation will be tough

[JLS]

I tend to agree. I wish that Saddam had been shot "resisting" capture too. We are too bureaucratic to handle such case now it seems.

[Paraclete]

Just verified (as a possibility) on ABC World News with a lengthy piece. I'd say this rumor is a hot one.

[goldcrest]

just getting off my chest . do you think i was being a bit soft on him then ?

[Brilliant]

That's what he gets for attending a wedding celebration.

It's a real rumor.

[xcamel]

even the Communist News Network (all clinton channel) is reporting a "high probability" of whacking the "big Z"

Wouldn't someone have seen his evil little head go flying by????

Maybe now he doesn't have a leg to stand on!

The Jordanian investigative services are collecting the blood specimens for DNA analysis from the floor of the interrogation rooms as we speak.

...and they say torture doesn't work! ;-)

So, let's see here- this story by the AP is more then 20 paragraphs long about Al-zaraqawi possibly being dead....after a few brief paragraphs of how he may have died they quickly delve into American soldiers who sacrificed all....civilians who were killed...and Iraqi's who protested possible torture of criminals...of course the story is about the possible death of Al-Zaraqawi and I am taken by the following:

Number of sentences in the story talking about Al-Zaraqwi past atrocities = 0

Number of sentences in the story talking about Al-Zaraqwi claiming responsibility for the bombing of a weeding party in Iraq which killed innocent civilians= 0

Number of sentences in the story talking about Al-Zaraqwi calling for the beheading of the King of Jordan = 0

Number of sentences in the story talking about the 1000's who protested against Al-Zaraqwi in Jordan= 0

Number of sentences in the story talking about how Al-Zaraqwi's family took out half-page ads in Muslim papers denouncing him= 0

and the media wonder's why the level of distrust..

"But keep in mind that Zarqawi never would have attacked hotels in Jordan if we hadn't invaded Iraq."

That would be inaccurate. He tried in 2000 to blow up multiple hotels, but failed.

[JLS]

The Fop said: "But keep in mind that Zarqawi never would have attacked hotels in Jordan if we hadn't invaded Iraq."

Shermy replied "That would be inaccurate."

Sorry but I think that would be sarcasm is more accurate.
