ABC News Update:

Iraqi PM: Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi Killed

By PATRICK QUINN

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.

WLS AM reporting Iraqis dancing in the streets? Anyone have a screen cap?

[BlessedBeGod]

ROFL!

[Severa]

On a side note. *Goes to FoxNews.com to look*

Mwahahahahahaha...

[RobFromGa]

"hell-cam," it would show Zarqawi standing in line in front of satan's orderly room, checking in for that Infinite PCS.

He's got FastPass. No waiting...

I'm inclined to think many of the insurgents will go home. A new leader for alqueda?

A few of the Iraqis have told me they think al Qaeda will go to Mogadishu now.

I don't know what's behind that opinion, but I've heard it three times today.

After hearing all the disrespectful and vitriolic things said about Ronald Reagan upon his passing on that other line, I took a break from C-SPAN and could not stand it.

When I wanted some good election night coverage in 2004, I turned in on right until the calls reminded me why I stopped watching it.

Now, seeking a scan of how the news will cover the great event today, I am again reminded how crazy the callers on C-SPAN have become (the last caller accused Jeb Bush of influencing Bill Clinton to bomb Iraq in 1998!). I have amnesia sometimes; hopefully I'll never have to catch the channel on such a consequential event, which always brings out the worst from the Dem callers...

[kabar]

The calls on the Dem line on C-SPAN have been outrageous. The question has been about their reaction to the death of Zarqawi. The responses from the Dems have been attacks against Bush. As one of the Rep callers said, it was like we killed one of their own. It really is sad that what is good for America is bad for the Dems. God help us.

[Sacajaweau]

Thank you....Any Iraqi People news is appreciated.

[SE Mom]

HOOAH!

Thanks for the report! We'll see if the FACTS are reported...elsewhere..

[rodguy911]

Both nets are a disaster!(CNX and C-Spam) the trend on c-spam just turned to our side, so they switched topics real quick, I'm turing this stuff off.

[SueRae]

Yes, you're right, the guy is off the charts moonbat. And now he's moved from Pa. to Delaware, where he's running for Congress. Not kidding. He and Biden will make a great pair. *smirk*

[MEG33]

Thank you!

[LibertyLee]

No doubt, no doubt...if he's room temperature, his blood is DEFINITELY cold...That's OK, he's hot enough in hell where Murtha is free to join him.

[Dog]

I found this blurb.

"Zarqawi was apparently injured at first... The Americans found him. They handed him over to the Iraqis and he later died of his injuries," ABC said.

[rodguy911]

Yeah i got it.

[Diogenesis]

Outside the home of the Terrorist, previously known as Prince (thanks, Tijeras_Slim)

More Iraqi celebrations.

YAHOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

What a story to wake up to!!!!

[mystery-ak]

"Zarqawi was apparently injured at first... The Americans found him. They handed him over to the Iraqis and he later died of his injuries," ABC said.



I hope he suffered first...

[FreedomPoster]

Now *that's* interesting.

A Taliban-like Islamic coalition appears to have triumphed in Mog. The fact that this is known on the street in Iraq, and they think Al-Q may head there, is just very, very interesting.

[mcvey]

What in the devil is going on over at C-Span?

I guess I am still steaming from this morning.
