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.

ABC: "...there is still no confirmation from U.S. officials that he was among the victims." C210N: He's a victim now?

Incredible, isn't it? The most stinging part is if you hadn't pointed it out I wouldn't have noticed it. I've become numb to the mainstream press' anti-American, terrorist freedomfighter-loving bias.

"Let's get some confirmation and then we can all move on to some other problem."

You did mean solution did you not?

Interesting that these impotent wankers always have the have their phallic symbol Kalashnikov framed in all of their photo ops.

Personally I didn't hear it, but there's an urban legend on FR that one of the faux Republicans started off her call with "I'm a lifelong Demo...uh, Republican..."

Near Kunar province...that is where we lost those Seal teams....I wonder if those boys were tracking this prey.

[mewzilla]

Wow. Sounds nasty.

If you stop giving, you don't get a card. Such friends.

I worked as a volunteer during the 2000 campaign, and have received Christmas cards from the WH ever since.

You just know that when The Swimmer returns from his weekend sojurn to the local bars, he will call for GWB's impeachment over this "unlawful" airstrike.

Yeh, I don't have my scorecard, or deck of cards either, but I want them all dead, oh, forgive me, I might be put in jail for my comments...come and get me!!!

[A Citizen Reporter]

Wrong.

[eeevil conservative]

Does the 48 hour rule apply here maybe? I am hearing NOTHING on the news about it....

really hope I can open some champagne over this!!!

[JustDoItAlways]

Killing Zawahri IS a solution.

Yes, let's move on to OTHER solutions.

2) Democrats look like foaming-at-the-mouth raving lunatics

I spotted a probable typo. May I suggest this for #2:

2) Democrats look like are foaming-at-the-mouth raving lunatics

If we are doing DNA testing you figure they will have to release the results.

I'm bookmarking from your post. Got to put the kiddies to bed and I'll be back!

[eeevil conservative]

correction- am hearing about it on FOX now... say he was the TARGET...no confirmation....

DANG! Hope this is the REAL thing.....

Let's get some confirmation and then we can all move on to some other problem.

I agree... but this seems to be a little more credible than the past. Although with the "13 miners alive!" headline, I'm not holding my breath.

[eeevil conservative]

good idea! I need to put mine down so I can FReep in PEACE! LOL!
