Hey Zarqawi, you started this, you brought this on yourself. Now you cant rest, you cant hide, you cant run far enough. The United States of America is at your door and it aint the Welcome Wagon. You are a dead man running and Satan waits on your arrival. Marines and Soldiers will provide the transportation.
BRING OUT YOUR DEAD!
Officials Probing Whether Raid in Mosul Killed Zarqawi

BAGHDAD, Nov. 20 -- An Iraqi police commander said Sunday that U.S. and Iraqi officials were certain that seven men who fought to the death in a house in northern Iraq were members of al Qaeda but were still trying to determine whether one of them was Abu Musab Zarqawi, the Jordanian insurgent leader.
U.S. and Iraqi forces remained deployed around the site of the three-hour gunfight Saturday at a house in the city of Mosul, north of Baghdad. Children stayed home from class on Sunday, a school day in the Islamic world, and other residents kept off the streets, presumably fearing that more fighting might result from the heavy military presence in the city.
Joint forces backed by U.S. military helicopters had surrounded the house after receiving a tip that led them to believe that Zarqawi might be inside, the governor of Nineveh province, Duraid Kashmoula, said Saturday.
As Iraqi soldiers and U.S. Special Forces advisers went into the building, grenades rained down from the roof, wounding 11 of them, according to a U.S. Army officer near where the raid occurred. Multiple explosions collapsed the building, and two American Special Forces troops were killed, he said.

Something big was going on there ,,,,
/There is a reasonable chance that we got him!
Habeus Corpus Zarqawi
"Produce the body"
Then we can celebrate. :)
Problem is, some of it's here, some of it's there, and we're going to have to scrape some of that wall over yonder...
Obviously, I hope we got him, but his days are numbered either way.
With eroding support among his Arab brethren, slow but sure progress in raising an Iraqi force to counter his loose band of terrorists, and with the political solidifying of the Iraqi democracy, Zarqawi is becoming more of a patriotic symbol for Ted Kennedy and less an actual threat to the civilized world.
Zarqawi can never take away the victories and achievements of our fighting men and women. Saddam will never return to power, the free elections that took place on Jan 30 and Oct 15 can not be undone, and the Iraqi democracy under its new Constitution will be up and running after the Dec 15 elections.
We win. Zarqawi can go to Hell.
Yep. Given the fact that most of his family disowned him after the Jordanian bombings, one would think they'd be happy to give us a DNA sample to compare with the splatter left in the safe house.
I sure hope we finally got that scumbag......
The Jordanians are after him also.
But are they REALLY?
Rumors of Zarqawi's death - and fighting continues in western Anbar province.
He is now in the ME area!
