Although it made me cringe a lttle.

Me, too. I had planned to put 72 Helens in there but I had to quit.

I started feeling a bit ill.

“The Americans understand that al-Zarqawi was only one man and there are many others who will carry on what he started,” Abu Majid, an al-Qaeda cell leader in western Baghdad, said.

Next up, Abu Majid!!!

The last thing he saw before his lights went out was the American flag.
 

Awesome!

There are several sources, including the NY Times and Colin Powell's own address to the UN. Just like "Bush lied" about the WMD issue, the media regularily reported on these connections only to later develop a case of amnesia. Some other articles can be found here:

Mr. Zarqawi, You aren't going to into hell wearing that rouge/purple lipstick combination are you? Ok, but boy that is sure inviting trouble for guy who has eternity to spend there. I'd at least get a pair of cute purple pumps to match the lipstick.

There are some more good articles at www.back-to-iraq.com including this one:

What's interesting to remember is that while WMDs were a big reason for war in Iraq, it was also this Ansar/AQ/Iraq alliance...that so many have forgotten about. It was important enough that Powell specifically mentioned it in his UN speech. And just as I've indicated above, other than WMDs, this was the most significant reason to depose Saddam before this terrorist organization became too entrenched.

This was another Taliban in the making...even worse, when you consider the resources and funding that would've been at their disposal with Saddam acting as a benefactor. N. Iraq was bound to become the new home for AQ once they were routed out of Afghanistan...and we needed to stop it immediately.

I know what Zarweewee mumbled: Rosebud.

[Empireoftheatom48]

No, he said: "Crap I forgot to take out the trash!"

[EternalVigilance]

Unfortunately for him, I doubt his last words were, "Save me, Jesus!"

[WinOne4TheGipper]

Probably not.

“We did, in fact, see him alive,” General Caldwell said. “He mumbled something but it was indistinguishable and it was very short.”

"I am Al-Zargawi, and I want to negotiate."

[bruin66]

Yes, but, the timing was suspicious...

[AnnaZ]

I absolutely love that the last thing he saw was America's fighting forces. Just delicious!

“He mumbled something but it was indistinguishable and it was very short.”
