Which service was conducting the bombing raids then?
LOL!
Finally got the scumbag!
Great!
CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES, COME ON!!
I came late, what kind of calls was C-Span taking? Americans upset at Zarqawis just desserts?
Thank you for posting Rumsfeld's remarks, cannot tune in here at work. Rummy has a gift for understatement that I absolutely love.
That was classic, wasn't it?
Turda and the gang are probably going to start an investigation to see if his Maranda Rights were violated. This goes all the way to the top Bush' Fault!

'Fraid not. Who succeeded Jack Welch at GE? Ever heard of him?
Who's the replacement for Arafat? How effective is he?
No, this is a major blow. Leaders like this are symbols, and no matter who takes the helm, he will not be a symbol or a motivator.
The liberal MSM has looked like they have been sucking lemons ever since this wonderful news came out.
The US will win ANY war the military is allowed to win, and overtime they will win this one too.
Yeah good news.
Now back to the mission at hand: find Osama.
Time for the tinfoil. Back to THE NEW AMERICAN.
LOL , But sadly it is true!

>>Big Deal. In WW2 Zarqawi would have been the equivalent of a low end german officer. Our great military has been reduced to chasing and killing radical office clerks.<<
Hmmmm.
Different kind of war entitrely from previous efforts - a better comparison might be to De Gaul in France with u.S> suipport disrupting the Germans or the "The Anti-American Resistance War for National Salvation" who carried the war in South Vietnam for the communists before the Tet offensive when the North Vietnemise regulars took over.
Great news! Be careful.
