He doesn't seem to have taken the beating that the Saddam kids took, but he does look rather dead. And that is the important part.

There are some folks who think that Rudolf Hess was murdered back in 1987. I hope he was. Life in prison was too good for him.

You must not have read the Koran fine print: When killed by infadel all vigins are null and void, you are now Achmed Bubba's virgin! Enjoy your stay in hell.

In an amazing coincidence, the Strategy Page predicted Zarqawi's demize the very day it happened. It remains to be seen if he was given up by al Qaeda to be rid of him, or turned in for the reward.

Zarqawi Scheduled for Martyrdom
June 7, 2006: The relationship between terrorist leader Abu Musab al Zarqawi and and the mainline al Qaeda leadership continues to deteriorate. Zarqawi's recent audio messages have not only attacked the U.S. and the Shia-dominated government in Iraq, but also Iran. He's even claiming that the U.S., Iran, and Shia in general, are in cahoots to destroy Islam. He has also called for continued attacks against Shia.
Except for his verbal attacks on the U.S. and the Iraqi government, he is almost totally distanced himself from the central leadership. Other al Qaeda leaders have been trying to down play anti-Iranian and anti-Shia rhetoric, and have been strongly discouraging attacks on civilians.
Given that Zarqawi has become a loose cannon and that his actions are handicapping Al Qaeda's efforts, it seems reasonable to expect that an accident may befall him at some point in the near future. If handled right it can be made to look like he went out in a blaze of glory fighting American troops or that he was foully murdered. Either way, al Qaeda gets rid of a problem and gains another "martyr."

Oddly enough that's exactly what pat buchanan was moaning about when we took out a nest of vipers in Pakistan...he never once mentioned the bad guys who were killed. But then again, who does pat buchanan consider the bad guys?

This will have more Iraqis diming out (or dinahring out) terrorists among them as they lose their fear.

At least Rommel was given a choice to commit suicide.

Good morning.
Yeah, but did they get any of his top aides?
My wife woke me up to give me the news and I went right back to sleep for a couple of more hours.
As soon as I woke up again I had to see what the FreeRepublic had to say.

Michael,
As I understand it, Zarqawi was in a meeting with seven aids at the time of the bombing. All were killed.
To: Quilla
I can just see some American corporal really enjoying that framing and matting job, can't you?
