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 also liked the part where Glenn was saying that the prohibition against pork keeping you from having virgins in heavens was true, and it was a universal law.

He said to Stu 'If we wrapped you in pigskins, Stu, and you approached a virgin, I guarantee you that virgin would refuse to have sex with you.'

'See, universal law.'

LOL! I thought I would have to pull my car over I was laughing so hard.

When news of al-Zarqawi's death broke earlier this morning, I called the top enlisted man in Iraq, who has his finger on the pulse like nobody else, both for the big picture and the tactical level. Click here to listen to my conversation with Command Sergeant Major Jeffrey Mellinger about conditions on the ground in Iraq.

6/8, a date not as memorable as 9/11, but a great day nontheless!

According to a news report here: Click here

the attack was carried out on June 7th at 6:15 p.m. Baghdad time, which would make it about 10:15 p.m. eastern time here on June 6th. So maybe you are right in pointing out that the 666 may have been dead on!

The article also says that President Bush was notified at approximately 4:35 p.m. Washington time yesterday.

Please ALL freepers listen to Dennis Prager. He had a man from Stratfor (I know) but he made sense. He said that it was no coincidence that the Sunnis got the Minister position because they showed good faith by fingering Zarqhari!!! Fascinating insight....turn off Rush and listen to Prager!! He had very interesting things to say about Iran also.

See my post at 2785. It's possible we did get him on 6/6 since Iraq is 8 hours ahead of us. Let me know if you think this is right.

Get XM Radio. On their "Decades" channel for the 40's they had a day long commemoration of D Day including replays of live news broadcasts. They also played patriotic songs and replayed rah-rah go USA ads that were popular when ALL American citizens loved the country.

Hi txflake!

I wasn't exactly in some banana republic boardroom, but you were close enough! I heard the news around 5:15 this morning, but I didn't get a chance to join in the celebration until now.

Woo Hoo!!!

I like the alternative definition of "diplomacy" - the art of saying "nice doggie" while searching for a rock.

Exactly. Any fervent plea for "diplomacy" indicates one of two things:

A) You're allied with the doggie, OR

B) You've run out of rocks

He is hysterical, isn't he? When I lived in the Tampa area, he was my morning drive buddy. I hope he can transmit his incredible breadth of humor and patriotism on his Headline News showso that people really get how brilliantly funny and politically savvy he is, but I have a feeling it's gonna be much tougher on the tube. On radio, he's the bomb.
