BAGHDAD, Iraq Jun 8, 2006 (AP)— Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the al-Qaida-linked militant who led a bloody campaign of suicide bombings, kidnappings and hostage beheadings in Iraq, has been killed in a U.S. air raid north of Baghdad, Iraq's prime minister said Thursday.

Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said al-Zarqawi was killed Wednesday evening along with seven aides.

That's a good idea-(execute Saddam and company)- keep the momentum going

[RunningWolf]

You promised me a live terrorist!

Suha: Oh yes, the Jihad Green one. What's wrong with it?

Abu Mazen: I'll tell you what's wrong with it. It's dead, that's what's wrong with it.

Suha: No, no it's resting, look!

Abu Mazen: Look my lad, I know a dead terrorist when I see one and I'm looking at one right now.

Suha: No, no sir, it's not dead. It's resting.

Abu Mazen: Resting?

Suha: No, no -- it's not dead, it's just resting, its pining for the fiorjds it is.

their ability to recruit and raise money will be diminished.

Murtha has stepped in to help them with their recruiting problems.

[patriciaruth]

:-D

[jveritas]

Going to work in two hours :)

[Allegra]

was it 06-06-06 in Baghdad when it happened?

LOL - that question came up at lunch just now. It was actually the 7th here when it happened.

We're all having fun with it now.

"Hey, we can just go walking on the streets now. Zarqawi's dead."

"It's too hot to wear this gear outside. Besides, we don't really need it anymore. Zarqawi's dead."

Security's not buying it. ;-)

[Citizen Soldier]

But does the ice cream have to line up 2 hours ahead for a seat? I can't understand why anyone would fly them.

[Rte66]

Only metroguys worry about bedhead these days - the gals wear bedhead as de rigeur.

Oh, they have a lady ululating in her burqa now on ABC!

[Caipirabob]

This thread is quickly becomming a cross between celebrating the death of a monster and "The Friday Sillyness" thread - lol!

[Just A Nobody]

Don't you think the President knew about it this morning?

[kabar]

It will be intesting to see the reaction from the MSM and the Dems. We will probably hear some reluctant praise and then the "but" monkey. They will try to downplay the importance of Zarqawi and then raise the fact that we still haven't got OBL.

[Howlin]

I imagine "they" are going to be a little upset for a bit; watch your back, friend.

[nopardons]

I guess FNC ( which is where I heard that )is still faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar behind the news cycle. Oh well, maybe it'll drop some more now.

[Howlin]

This is what happens when you wake people up in the middle of the night.

[Yossarian]

"Michelob Amber Bock."

Cool clear water. Great stuff.

For the record, I celebrated by finishing off a bottle of Glenlivet. OK, it only had a few shots left in it anyways, but still the occasion warranted something smooth and climactic.

[Da Mav]

lol

Perhaps he is "Pining for the Wadis" :-)

[MEG33]

I was so desperate I went to CNN ..saw her and switched channels fast..I will not watch Amanpour.

[Caipirabob]

LOL! Now he won't have figure out how to work the trigger...

[nopardons]

OH.....never heard of them.

Now, I'm starving, but don't want to eat anything, as I really should go to bed now.

[Rte66]

Ho'omaika'i Ana!
