Was CNN on the phone with Al Zawahiri at the time?

That would expain the exclusive.

They are saying mulitple aircraft.

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

You could get dozens of them, but my favorite Debka article was about the Iraqi invasion of Jordan to get to the West Bank to take on Israel in 2002. It's been posted here several times just to amuse people.

We better not have found him using illegal wiretaps. That would be WRONG!



Good one, LOL

[jimbo123]

CNN is in mourning right now. Pathetic.

LOL. Maybe Zarqawi will apply for the job.

They probably had a line of reporters waiting to kiss his butt, too.

Come on!, if true it deserves at least some Chandon

That was a joke, Marmar is on a enlistee budget! I myself will pour some single malt scotch!

according to Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RQ-1_Predator

The Predator can carry two Hellfire missiles. I actually thought it was more, but two is good, as long as you pick your shots.

Along with many others, I'm hoping we got this guy. Of course, I don't trust the LSM - we all know they wouldn't be above giving thier buddy Zawahiri some cover to slink under a different rock...

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Prayers for his family.

That they may all join him soon.

CNN now confirming that the CIA did target Zawahiri with the strike. Still no confirmation that they got him, will be some time before Pakistani government can verify.

I want to celebrate...but I want proof...I am a AF Reserve medic and I have just come back from Germany, bring the Wounded Warriors, home on the Aeromedical Evacuation System. I was not a flier, but I am on the ground and we unload the Wounded Warriors. I have seen first hand the damage that has been caused. So this is extra special to me to have this be true........

CBS News online finally has a story up. They could not wait to turn on the tears for the terrorists angle of the story.

Air Strike May Have Targeted Zawahiri

CBS/AP) There was an air strike today on a Pakistani village near the Afghan border and word tonight is it may have targeted Osama bin Laden's top lieutenant, Ayman al-Zawahiri, CBS News reports.

Villagers in the remote area say 17 people were killed by bombs or missiles, but it is not clear if Zawahiri or other al Qaeda operatives were there.

Zawahiri is believed to have used the area as a hideout. He was last seen just last week, denouncing the U.S. in a videotape carried on an Islamic Web site.

In Pakistan, weeping villagers dug through the rubble of destroyed homes.
