The "joint directed" means that any member of any American armed forces (Army, Air Force, Marines, Navy) can designate a target and call in a strike.
It's kind of like calling in Artillery, but with the range that covers the whole country.
In that picture of the two smelly hippies, the one called Berg is weating a nametag that appears to say "LEAD Insurgent". I say offer him a ticket to Iraq to fight alongside his Al Qaeda brothers. Arm him with the fiercest weapons of the left...a whistle, a video camera, some weed...
What? No halo??
I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Horns and tail are more appropriate.
The MSM will never mention this possibility, maybe we the Pajamahadeem might want to bring this factoid to light.
I was right.
He looks real good.
Meanwhile, there was a little "Chicago justice": Zarqawi survived the bombs, was turned over by US forces to Iraqi forces, and "succumbed to his injuries." Aww.
You just confirmed my analysis of the various photos of the site.
The slab was resting very near the gound, there was concrete block rubble all around where the blast blew it outward. there was a hole in the slab. there was a mangle of rebar, clean to the steel evidencing finely fragmented concrete.
There is also a photo of troops in the palms with a big hole...... the first bomb missed? The pilot elected to hit it a second time.
My thought is the first bomb missed the house and made a hole and a mangled truck. The second penetrated the roof and blew the wals outward collapsing the slab.
Charming. Those Arabs sure know how to entertain a person. (Barf!)
If we had listened to the Dims and done what they wanted, Zarqawi would still be alive and playing at his favorite sport -- beheadings. It's only because we didn't listen to the Dims that we can celebrate these images:
Just saw Murtha on with Wolfe Blitzkreig. This person is just without concern for the troops. It is his way or the highway.....He said, "The military, they did ok, but this killing of az Zarqari will mean nothing but more problems. The explosions of IED are the only problem in Iraq," ....or something to that effect.
Murtha, is a 250 # turd that just won't flush...
I hope it was a long and excruciatingly painful 10 minutes.
Look at the moonbats mourning Al-Zarqawi's death:

You see, it's gone beyond political discourse. Murtha has vested his personality, his credibility, and his identity in a view of the world which is parallell to reality. He offers the MSM a face to propound the course they want to take, but are too chickenshit to run for the presidency so they will be constitutionally vested. Before his eruption last year, I had never heard of Jack Murtha. Pride is an awful thing to order ones existence.
Satan reclaims one of his own!
Imagine Zarqawi looking around for his 72 virgins only to find he is to be beheaded by demons over and over for the rest of eternity.
I wonder if that is all that is left of him. Fitting end for someone who liked to dismember people.
What can be expected from those who worship the Father of Lies.
Exactly the fate that should have been Saddam Hussein's when he was found in his rat hole.
