ABC News Update:
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.

LOL...
She was busy explaining why it ain't no big thing. You know the drill.
Yep, that's exactly what they'll (MSM) do. (down-play it). If they don't out right cry over it. I mean this throws a big monkey wrench into their Iraq-Viet Nam Redux plan.
Zarqawi has been dead for a long time...George W Bush knew that but waited until now to make it public so he can cover up the Haditha scandal and Republican corruption.
BTW I have to reiterate...it is AMAZING how the morning crew coming in to the radio stations here in PGH are reacting! No smiles...all frowns...I'm the only one doing the singing and dancing...they're saying things like ...So what...there's millions more gonna take his place...this will only make things worse...it's not about terror it's about oil...Ann Coulter should be arrested (? I have no idea what that has to do with this) ...blah, BLAH, BLAHHH!
They are truely disgusting

We've been saying - "Sadr's next." If they can get that b@stard, things can really start accelerating here.
Do like the rest of us: eat something lucious!
I just don't go there..governs keeps me up on the media outrages of the morning..I was drinking Pepto Bismol too often when I used to try to watch what he reported (Today comes on later here.)
Dubya knew about it last night before he went to bed and he is up now and has the confirmation.
He may be waiting for Tony Blair to make an announcement first (as Tony has to face reelection again with poll numbers worse than W's) and Dubya is a very considerate guy.
Sure over a thousand people on this thread have posted but hey I just gotta say
Hallelujah!!!!!!
Thanks to God, our military, Geroge Bush in the WOT and freedom loving people over the whole World.
Never saw that, but thanks.
I'm surprised our troops could rise from their deep depression and take time from their killing sprees, their rapes and pillaging to even feed themselves let alone do the intelligence and launch an air attack to take this guy out.
Shudder..
Stop posting that! Its a goddamned nightmare.
OMG - those idiots don't even know Z wasn't an Iraqi? No wonder they're called dummies.
Mmmmm mmmm. I want your root beer and Howlin's butter pecan bread and some ham for celebrating ... but after my ice cream! Then, time for cobbler. Ha, here we are, back to berries again.
I'm behind on my reading here - keep getting up and cheering!
I'm all for celebrating the demise of the evil bastard.
LOL. At the moment nothing in the house but healthy stuff. Figures, doesn't it?
Some guy on FNC making the point that Zarkawi's been more of a threat to the Iraqis lately and not US troops. Yeah, so? I'm happy as heck for the Iraqis!!
You know what this means? No Imus on MSNBC this morning.
Couldn't these Special Ops guys have waited until Saturday morning? /s
I have a GREAT recipe for Key lime pie. Just FREEPmail me, if you want it. :-)
