Nothing but rubble. From the
Boston Globe: "US helicopters fired rockets into a house occupied by Zarqawi and a band of men, according to US and Iraqi officials. Iraq troops on the ground removed Zarqawi from the house, and he died as their prisoner, they said."
I haven't read the whole thread here so don't know if that is confirmed. Maybe he was spared a few more minutes of life so he would have to face some of the people he terrorised.
Thanks for the sparkler & shells! Peace for Iraq!

There is a HUGE reason for this hate against America. What is it? So, when and why did you decide you hated America? On second thought, don't bother....if you can get out of your armchair long enough, I know of a good place to put your hatred.

I woke this morning with an odd feeling I almost never have. I had the distinct sense my tax dollars were being well spent. Wonder what that was?

"He *has* stated that, EyeGuy. A number of times."
Yes, I know that, but in my opinion he needs to perhaps overstate this particular aspect, to compensate for the obfuscation from the Left.
Too often, he has let the Democrats frame the context of the WOT.
To: armchairman
So you think that an enemy having chemical weapons means we don't put troops on the ground.
What the h*ll do you think they have the chemical protective gear for? Fun?

Okay smarty, tell me why Iraq is so important.
Are you really that stupid? Ok here it goes. Iraq is of strategic and is a vital concern of the US in the region. They are a great counterbalance to Iran who is growing ever more threatening every day. Let's remember that Iraq fought Iran to a stalemate with 1/3 of the population. The rest of the ME couldn't hope to stop the Iranians, but the Iraqis can. Also, Saddam never liked us and was actively planning to hit us when the Sanctions were to be lifted. You can look it up on one of the several threads pertaining to the translated documents by jveritas.
Also why did the purpose of the Iraq war morph from finding WMD, to freeing the poor Iraqis from the big bad Saddam , to creating a democracy. Which is it? What is the reason for my son to die today?
You son died today? You think your son wouldn't die for another's freedom? You seriously need a history lesson. As for the WMDs, Saddam had the weapons, he had the programs and he was waiting for his opportunity. To say otherwise is , again, showing how ill-informed you are troll.
And if Bush really thought Saddam had WMD and would use them, why did he plant 100,000 GROUND troops in Iraq that would be sitting ducks for Saddam's WMD's. Apparently Bush was'nt worried about that.
You are truly an idiot. Our troops have things called MOPP gear which will protect them in case of a chemical attack. If you are this ill-informed, maybe you should SHUT THE HELL UP. And it's PRESIDENT BUSH to you dipshit.

Tony is having a presser. He said the heads were found over the weekend - about the same time the kids were taken off a bus and killed.

"US helicopters fired rockets into a house occupied by Zarqawi and a band of men, Not helicopters. F-16s, made in Fort Worth, Texas, dropped 2 500 pounders. General Casey confirmed this.
