An Al Qaeda Leader in Iraq Killed...Anyone Have Any Information?

Posted on 06/20/2006 9:56:45 AM PDT by MikeA

Sorry about the vanity, but Limbaugh was mentioning a top Al Qaeda leader, some sub-human named Sheikh Mansour who apparently is in the top 5 of AL Qaeda's Iraq leadership has been killed in Iraq while trying to flee a dragnet on his safehouse. I've search Google, Fox News.com and even CNN.com and found nothing. Of course I guess the MSM doesn't want to have to mix any good news from Iraq with the bad news about the captured soldiers being found dead. They need to maintain a day of total demoralization about the mission in Iraq without giving us any reason for hope. But does anyone have any information or a link to a story about this?

By the way, Limbaugh mentioned Free Republic wondering why the idiot KOS convention got such media attention, including 7 reporters from the New York Times being sent to the Vegas mental illness confab. Can you imagine the New York Times even giving 2 seconds worth of attention to a Freeper convention?

CENTCOM announced minutes ago that one of the men expected to take the place of the now-room temperature Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has also reached thermal equilibrium near Baghdad.

As a writer, I surely do admire your discriptive words. Makes ya smile over description while feeling very good about the content

They do, that is how Scott Shane from New York Times interviewed me regarding the Iraqi documents.

Good to have confirmation. Others in MSM are lurking also, at least they see mostly truth here and might even recognize it on occasion.

A fellow Vietnam vet pointed out that the only thing the terrorists succeeded in doing when they kidnapped those two soldiers was getting the rest to be really enthusiastic in kicking in doors.

Gee, I hope we don't TORTURE the one we have captured. Or listen in on his phone calls.

Or put panties on his head.

The key point here is that there are a bunch of bad guys who are cursing the idiots who pi$$ed the Americans off.

"Achmed, that was stone-cold STUPID, you goat-f***ing moron! I was just one payment away from burning the mortgage on my safehouse!"

I'm aware of who he was. I'll make sure to run my comedy by you in the future for approval.

One man's comedy...

Some things are not fodder for flippancy

Right....there were absolutely no Zarqawi jokes out there. Well, since I have yet to develop ESP, I'll continue to suffer the slings and arrows of the disdainful, I suppose.

Dan's bake sale. (Dan's bake sale had more folks than Dikes on bikes or abortion rallies and got not a jot of publicity in the Lamestream media.)

Great if correct. This suggests that the half-life for an Al Qaida leader is down from almost 2 years to about 72 hours.

Speaking of Mansoor, it seems he dropped off the face of the earth....he used to be on Fox frequently but haven't seen he for a long time. Any ideas as to what happened to him?

One..by...one...bringing them down.

Al Qaeda knows we're kicking their tails. We just have to keep reminding them because they're too stupid to knock off their cowardly car-bombing, IEDs and other lowly tactics.

It'll be pounded into them eventually. In the meantime, we'll just keep rounding them up or wasting them.
