I don't understand - maybe someone can help me out - if they had solid intelligence that he was in this house, why didn't they set up a perimeter and

capture him when he "escaped"? Either the military is run by idiots or this is a bogus story. I have a feeling it's the latter.

As I understand it, he moves every 3-4 hours. You need pretty good intelligence and very fast troop movement to deal with that. He will slip up one day but it looks like that day is still ahead of us.

I've heard that before, and I don't understandwhy this is so helpful for him in eluding capture. I thought getting these dirt bags "on the run" is our goal, and that they would be easier to catch that way than if they were holed up somewhere safe.

This is getting ridiculous. I don't want the military to make another comment about Zarqawi, Zawahiri, or bin Laden until they can show us their heads on a pike. It's starting to remind me of Emmanuel Goldstein.

Moving from one hideout to another involves a whole host of risks. If Zarqawi is moving every three or four hours it is only a matter of time before he is stopped by a patrol or someone drops the dime on his movement. We know from our day to day experience that we encounter road work, breakdowns, detours; much less road blocks and armed men actively seeking us. God willing it will be soon.

agreed,

a mistake is inevitable by him...and sooner or later the last thing this CS will see is the tip of a TOW missile...just imagine, somewhere now lies the missile or .50cal marine sniper round waiting to take that little CSers head clean off...approriate since he is so fond of beheading himself...

smile and enjoy your day and for all of ye who saw that 500lb drop on a bunch of morons in iraq, i give you the best response ever from a ground based soldier to a pilot after it dropped....

OOOHHHH DDUUUUUUDDDEEEEE!!!
