Jan. 13, 2006 — Today, according to Pakistani military sources, U.S. aircraft attacked a compound known to be frequented by high level al Qaeda operatives. Pakistani officials tell ABC News that al Qaeda leader Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri, Osama bin Laden's top lieutenant, may have been among them.

U.S. intelligence for the last few days indicated that Zawahiri might be in the location or about to arrive, although there is still no confirmation from U.S. officials that he was among the victims.

Well, if anyone had CIA contacts, it would be CNN.

In a war you have casualties Victory .

Nothing else matters.

[freedumb2003]

Bring me his head. In a bucket.

In a bucket stuffed with pig entrails.

MSNBC just said they hit with 10 hellfires.

Hmm...tomorrow's headline: "Alleged Terrorist Brutally Slain By CIA Overkill"

Sorry, JB2k, I couldn't resist. I hope Zawahiri is dead too, and I share your optimisms. We had to have a pretty good feel to drop that much ordnance across the border.

Can I get a thoughtful analysis of where Debka has ever been frightfully wrong?

Sure. Do a search on Google. DEBKA has been gloriously wrong many, many times.

Got him with another lunger.. screen is a mess though.

LOL! A little Windex will cure that, but if the scumbag is dead, there ain't no cure for what ails him now.

Wait...isn't it a product of France?

I doubt it... to cheap! But wouldn't hurt to check the label...

[Xanadu2112]

Ha!Ha! Adios Muchacho!

[Graymatter]

Well if they don't find his remains there, if he skipped out before he got past the front page of his morning paper...they can always ask subpoena the New York Times for his change of address form.

[MindBender26]

If he can't take a joke, screw 'em.

[Wolfstar]

MSNBC just said they hit with 10 hellfires.

A nice round number. I should tink that whoever was in the vicinity is having a going-to-meet-my-maker moment about now.

[Coop]

but the Paks hate al-Qaida as much as we do.

Nah. Al Qaeda has major support within the ISI.

[Cyclops08]

Hmmm. OK, I'll buy some sweets to hand out to kids if this is real. If its another false story out of Pakistan, I'll be forced to eat all my candy myself!

Whats better for a muslim terrorist newly arrived in hell?
Hershey Kisses, or a bag of Almond Joys?

I just got this from Debka. Must be wrong:

Our exclusive Iranian sources report Iranian defense minister Mostafa Najjar (photo) warned the Gulf oil emirates in exceptionally aggressive terms to beware of
Iran’s great strength and not place its trust in the American navy. He threatened major action against any party assaulting Gulf security. Former president Hashemi Rafsanjani, head of the council for the preservation of the constitution, declared Iran’s absolute resolve to continue its nuclear development, adding “And we shall reach our desired goal! We are determined to ignore all prohibitions. Iran will not tolerate colonial policies practiced by any nation or institution in the world.”

And I have a bad cold..

[operation clinton cleanup]

Am I dead yet???

[ChadGore]

1) Don't post anything from debka

[vbmoneyspender]

It's never a good idea to give refuge to the walking dead.

And I can throw a football; therefore, I must be an NFL quarterback.

Good grief, Charlie Brown, I hope you can do better than that.
