Seems to be a very well orchestrated release of info.. I'm a bit suspicious of timing, and I think the relevance attached to his passing is greatly over done. I smell an AQ rat in cahoots with Iranian interests spoon feeding intel to us to make the hit.

Regardless, killing this guy was a job that needed doing.


:huh :huh

You make it sound like it was a bad thing.

Why is this bad?

I'm a bit suspicious of timing

Why? Was there a better time to say he was dead?

I think the relevance attached to his passing is greatly over done.

I don't know! Can you overstate the importance of the death of the number one target in Iraq for the last several years?

I smell an AQ rat in cahoots with Iranian interests spoon feeding intel to us to make the hit.

How could you possibly know this and even if it was true why is it a bad thing?

IF AlQeada in Iraq gave him up, it might serve two purposes for them. It makes their #1 a martyr, and it allows them to change directions and refocus without admitting they were going the wrong way. A change of leadership, creation of a martyr, and a saving of face.

IF they capitalize on it, by restricting their actions to attacking coalition forces, and NOT killing Iraqis, it could help them more than hurt them.

IF they continue to try to encourage sectarian violence and to kill Iraqis, then this is a bad thing for them.

I think I mentioned Task Force 140 earlier, and that is probably incorrect, I think the correct unit is Task Force 145.

On the news this morning, they said it was attack helicopters that got him, not a 500lb bomb.

Hey, Mighty1...

clue for yah.

The government lies.

The Media lies.

If yer willing to take as gospel what they put in front of us, hey; go ahead.

I choose to question everything they do.. the media and the government are not 'here to help', they are not 'fair and balanced' and they do not give a rats bellybutton about a damn thing not closely associated with power or ratings.

I revel in the victory of Zaqarwi's execution. I question the interesting coincidences regarding locating him and killing him coinciding with Iranian interests in Iraq.

You may return to the Kool Aid dispenser. I don't care for the flavor of the season.

At the military press conference, they said it was two F-16 each with one 500 pounder.  Both dropped greetings.

They said they had body markings and fingerprints showing positive ID and DNA is processing.

Video released shows it to be two 500# laser guided bombs dropped from one or two F-16's flying CAP.

Just another rabid animal properly put down.

Too bad it wasn't done with a dull Ka-Bar, over a period of gurgling, heel-drumming hours, though.

Ah, well...can't have everything, I suppose.

She was given the pistol by a police officer she knew to join in the celebrations by firing in the air. (AP Photo/Karim Kadim)
