Al-Zarqawi May Be Among Dead in Iraq Fight

It's possible Zarq was following the debates and vote just as intensely as we were on FR.

If it turns out that Zarqawi is dead and the Jordanian government gave us and the Iraqis the info on how and where to find him I'm going to be elated and angry all at the same time. Have the Jordanians had information on him and his whereabouts before but never turned it over to us? Or, at any time could the Jordanian government have pressured his family and few remaining friends in their country to spill the beans him? I think the answer could quite possibly be yes. I remember when Abdullah's father backed Saddam during the first Gulf War. I'm very suspicious of the timing of the announcement today that his tribe in Jordan has disassociated themselves with him and his actions. Something smells.

Every time they get me hoping on a "We got Bin-Laden"/"We got Zarqawi" story and it doesn't pan out I say "Never again." But this one's getting a certain look to it.

[BunnySlippers]

Do we have his DNA?

[doesnt suffer fools gladly]

One question. If Zarqawi is dead, then who would the democrats have us surrender to?" Watch for them to start recycling the "Well, you STILL haven't captured Osama bin Laden! No blood for oil! Blah, blah, blah..." *Rolleyes*

Don't forget Hallllliburrrtoon.

Insurgents, meanwhile, killed an American soldier and a Marine in separate attacks over the weekend, while a British soldier was killed by a roadside bomb in the south.

While good guy deaths are tragic and worthy of note, notice how AP reporter Reid just had to blunt the good news of the article by putting news of these deaths in the second sentence. Typical AP biased reporting: "Let no good news in Iraq be reported without inserting unrelated bad news into the story."

[BunnySlippers]

Interesting concept, Moose.

[REDWOOD99]

I think you'll find that the info did come from the Jordanians but that it came directly from the surviving bomber.

[Chuck54]

Hopefully it is Zaqarwi and 7 of his #3 guys.

[RJL]

I grieve for our brave fallen. There are none better.

Agreed.

Also, let's be sure to remember our partners and the British soldier killed by a roadside bomb in the south.

[MarkeyD]

I was thinking more a dull, rusty bottle cap.

[Billthedrill]

Do we have his DNA?

Yes. Bin Laden's, too.

Just heard on FNC, unconfirmed that Al-Zarqawi was believed to be in that building & a forensic is en route to scene.

"Do we have his DNA?"

We may not have his, but we can get his family's, which would work. Plus I am sure King Abdullah would be happy to get us a sample.

To Kill Zarqawi would be great, to kill him the same week the democrats almost surrendered would be priceless!

This deserves to be repeated.

Pack this bastard in pig guts and send him home to his family

[alice_in_bubbaland]

Geesh.... Cable modem is slow today, sorry for duplicate post. Also..... "forensic TEAM is en route"

[LS]

Probably trying to determine if the body is his (i.e., maybe part of his face is blown off).
