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.

I guess they don't consider any of his actions to be un-christian.

Exactly.

Praise God. The Iraqis DO want freedom, just like Bush says. Thanks for the info.

Oh, they so badly want freedom and peace. The media twists and lies to present a much darker picture than what really exists.

The vast majority of the Iraqi people hate the terrorists as much as we do. The media doesn't want you to know these things.

I enjoy the Iraqis and have made some wonderful friends here. They tend to be warm, generous people and their sense of humor and play is very similar to ours. They're lighthearted people who love their music, art, poetry and are proud of their rich history.

And they're such good sports about all they've had to endure. They just go about their daily lives and most times, you'd never know there is a war going on.

The media goes out to find the ones who will complain. And sometimes they have to talk to a LOT of Iraqis to find that one who's unhappy with things. But once they find one or two of those, they put them on the air and make it look as though they represent the Iraqi state of mind.

Zarqawi would be more the Rommel of terrorists...He probably was smarter than Osama in tactics.

For a good chuckle, check out the Democratic Underground Zaeqawi thread.

Basically, it's more lies.

I love the way they framed the picture :-) it even has a border, LOL

"In ultra liberal Seattle I just heard a caller on local radio say we will be punished for rejoicing that another mother has lost her child in an illegal war. Zarqawi was a living breathing human being, just like the rest of us."

Dear God the insanity from the left is sometimes just too much to comprehend. Unbelievable!

[gondramB]

Wow - listening to the questions at the conference - the reporter says the Arab talk shows are claiming this was timed to coincide with the naming of Iraqi ministers... like we would wait a minute after we had a 100% shot at Zaquawi.

[Quilla]

Our great military....

Well, at least you got that part right. Welcome to Free Republic.

Question of the day: Will all the "virgins" look like this dog?

That dog does have a suspicious resemblance to Helen Thomas. Except Helen is in mourning with the rest of her buddies, I'm sure.

[Obadiah]

UTTERLY!

[B Knotts]

What a ridiculous thing to say. This guy was the leader of the enemy effort in Iraq.

Please tell your Iraqi friends and colleagues that we admire their fortitude in this time when they are the ones being killed, much more than military Americans are.
