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.

From Aljazeera...

Iraqi leader: Al-Zarqawi is eliminated

...He said the air strike was the result of intelligence reports provided to Iraqi security forces by residents in the area, and US forces acted on the information

I do hope that the " info " that earlier reports alluded to will result in more deaths/captures of the murderous thugs.

As we speak, our guys are probably working on the next strike.

Good morning! Brett Baier says that Pentagon feels it is more valuable to get this guy dead than bin Laden.

"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."

Breaking news!!!
We just killed the "Butt-Monkey" and have confirmed that we also got six other no-tallent A$$clowns!

Crosslink:

The arrest of 17 suspects, many of them teenagers, picked up in Mississauga and across the GTA during a counter-terrorism sweep on the weekend, is said to be the latest stage in dismantling a terrorist network that's linked to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq.

I am babysitting grandchildren this summer, so anything that happens after 9PM I miss.

What a celebratory day!

At the beginning of that last segment with Mike Boetcher, he said something like, "wait a minute, let me take this ear piece out." Then, as they were switching over to Ken Allard, you could hear Boetcher say something like, "Don't ever do that to me again!" He obviously was pissed at someone in the hook-up chain.

// They will be forced to respond in some way presuming that they can//

I agree. If they do have deployable WMD's in the near future is when might see it. But this time the players movers and shakers are ahead of their decision loops (I hope).

"Aye, Starbuck; aye, it was Moby-Dick that dismasted me; Moby-Dick that brought me to this dead stump I stand on now. Aye, aye! I'll chase him round Good Hope, and round the Horn, and round the Norway Maelstrom, and round perdition's flames before I give him up. And this is what ye have shipped for, men! to chase the white whale on both sides of earth, till he spouts black blood and rolls fin out..."
