Senator Coleman suggesting that they may have reconstructed his face in the last 24 hours like Saddam's sons...
He has faced Justice! The best kind! Cheers!
They keep saying she is coming up next, just got dead air on my computer.
Oh I'm sure the MSM will do all it can to talk about something else but it's going to be difficult.
Press conference:
Maj. Gen. Bill Caldwell: Iraqis helped eliminate Zarqawi. Iraqis can rejoice today. They've earned it with their blood, sweat and tears. But tomorrow we must continue to march forward toward an Iraq that is free and exemplifies unity and prosperty.

Being a pro-military FReeper? PRICELESS!
Somebody better send this pic to Chris Matthews. I'm sure he'll be doing another "Bush lied to get us into Iraq" story tonite.
I have no audio at all right now on wls.
video of airstrike
And it still took less time than Pelosi's last facelift.
Airstrike video is awesome!
? from Washington Post: How did he die and how many air strikes.
Caldwell: Technical crew is bringing up the video of the airstrike that occurred last night at 6:15 and it's being shown now. 2 F-16's from the US Air Force have id'd target and the aircraft will drop a 500 lb bomb on the target.
Mattie Albright will be making the rounds on the news-talkies complaining that we probably have OBL on ice somewhere and wil bring him out soon.
Ann is on right now!
Caldwell: Assessment if target was fully engaged. Decision by pilot to do a re-attack and the second 500 lb bomb will drop shortly. (showing video)
Oh. I can get them on my radio.
I love Don Wade!
Hey Ann is on now!
Just caught word of the USS Cole leaving on deployment. I'll never forget that morning I went to visit my husband at NAS Norfolk (he was on submarines then) and happened to see the USS Cole back from repair sitting in her homepier, bright, shiny, and ready to kick ass.
USAF took him out!....YES!!!!
Military news conference in progress showing video of the attack and dropping of the 2 bombs.
