That's the report I hear. Dead in a bombing.
-
Good. I hope it's true this time.
-
Yup, that's what I'm seeing as well.
-
Hmm... I'm not so sure.
He's been killed at least seven times now.... so I reckon he's got a couple more lives left.
Kind of like the "Al Qaeda #2 man"...
That guy has been both killed and captured so many times now that he's like, some kind of ninja.

On June 7, 2006 at 11:45 p.m., Pacific Standard Time, ABC News reported that Zarqawi was killed in a bombing raid.
-
Zarqawi was confirmed to have been killed by a bombing raid by a US Task force on June 08, 2006. The task force had been hunting him for some time and he had eluded them on many occasions, in some close calls. The bombing raid on July 08, 2006, apparently occured at a building in Baghdad where US Intelligence had recieved credible information that Zarqawi was located, along with his spirtual advisor, who was also reportedly killed
-
Good riddance.
-
I hope so...
But you can't blame me for having my doubts, can you? :)
-
This is looking good...
RIP Zarq. Do not pass go, do not collect your 72 virgins.

From what I hear, you either need to be a martyr, or a profesional basketball player. :D

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy!!! Big WTFG to our brothers in Iraq!!!!!!!
-
$20 says that some people will claim this is all one big cover-up for the alleged atrocity reported recently, or at the very least, a smoke screen for it.
I'd rather they took him alive, but this is a close second. Congratulations gents, I hope things get easier over there soon.

Then they feed him to the pigs yes?

excellent! :aok

So does the missile shooter get to collect the $25 million bounty?

BAGHDAD, Iraq - 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 along with seven aides Wednesday evening in a house 30 miles northeast of Baghdad in the volatile province of Diyala.
“Today, al-Zarqawi was terminated,” al-Maliki told a news conference, drawing loud applause from reporters as he was flanked by U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad and U.S. Gen. George Casey, the top U.S. commander in Iraq.
Al-Maliki said the air strike was the result of intelligence reports provided to Iraqi security forces by residents in the area, and U.S. forces acted on the information.
“Those who disrupt the course of life, like al-Zarqawi, will have a tragic end,” he said.
Khalilzad added “the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is a huge success for Iraq and the international war on terror.”
Most wanted militant
The Jordanian-born militant, who is believed to have personally beheaded at least two American hostages, became Iraq’s most wanted militant, as notorious as Osama bin Laden, to whom he swore allegiance in 2004. The United States put a $25 million bounty on his head, the same as bin Laden.
In the past year, he moved his campaign beyond Iraq’s borders, claiming to have carried out a Nov. 9, 2005, triple suicide bombing against hotels in Amman, Jordan, that killed 60 people, as well as other attacks in Jordan and even a rocket attack from Lebanon into northern Israel.
U.S. forces and their allies came close to capturing al-Zarqawi several times since his campaign began in mid-2003.
His closest brush may have come in late 2004. Deputy Interior Ministry Maj. Gen. Hussein Kamal said Iraqi security forces caught al-Zarqawi near the insurgent stronghold of Fallujah but then released him because they didn’t realize who he was.
In May 2005, Web statements by his group said al-Zarqawi had been wounded in fighting with Americans and was being treated in a hospital abroad — raising speculation over a successor among his lieutenants. But days later, a statement said al-Zarqawi was fine and had returned to Iraq. There was never any independent confirmation of the reports of his wounding.
U.S. forces believe they just missed capturing al-Zarqawi in a Feb. 20, 2005 raid in which troops closed in on his vehicle west of Baghdad near the Euphrates River. His driver and another associate were captured and al-Zarqawi’s computer was seized along with pistols and ammunition.
U.S. troops twice launched massive invasions of Fallujah, the stronghold used by al-Qaida in Iraq fighters and other insurgents west of Baghdad. An April 2004 offensive left the city still in insurgent hands, but the October 2004 assault wrested it from them. However, al-Zarqawi — if he was in the city — escaped.
The Associated Press and Reuters contributed to this report.

I bet that, right now, he is trying to explain to a seriously p!ssed off Allah that he thought that the quran had to be followed to the letter....
-
Good news.
He was one of the worst sunni muslim fanatics and butchered many shi ite muslims, who he defined as subhuman heretics.
Not that he will not be replaced by another mad dog, but at least this one is finally dead.
-
Hopefully this will make a difference, I'm afraid though that someone else will step up to fill the void. Ah well, at least one got what he deserved.
-
Confirmed Kill - excellent news!

Yea......and then a long, drawn out circus type affair called a trial like the Sandman. I don`t think we will see too many taken alive in the future for some strange reason.
-
Capturing him alive and putting him on trial is too good for him.
Being blown up by a tank round in a toilet...much more satisfying.
He died knowing that he was found and that it was only a matter of time until he was returned to sender.
Can expect to see a few days of "mourning" by Al-Qaida and then some big revenge attacks for a few weeks.
Then after a month they'll peter out and resort to the occasional car bomb or suicide bombing. Then they'll realize its pointless now that their 'fearless leader' wasn't so high and mighty after all.

one down, thousands to go.. so, someone inside his group ratted him out.. sounds like how the mob removed the number one guy back in the day... wonder if the source was someone who wants to be in charge.. its a good day!!!

I have a son that is scheduled to go back to Iraq for his second tour in a couple of months. I'm glad that bastage won't be there this time.
WTFG

A good day in this the 2nd half of the 5th year in the "global war on terror", but certainly NOT a "turning point". We've got another 45-60 years to go fellas, this one is not "so our kids can grow up in a more peacefull world", this one is for your grandkids, and maybe your great-grandkids. We aint fighting Zarquawi or OBL, or even AQ, we are fighting a thought process; and until they stop manufacturing madmen by the thousands, in the thousands of Madrassas out there, it aint over.
lalalalalalalalalalalala...BO OM!

Anyone knows what type of hardware was used ? Fighter, bomber, LGB ? helo = hellfire ? laser marking by spec forces ? I know DoD won't comment on it, but I bet there will be a lot of high fives and downed beers at some squadron mess !
I can also picture the markings on the bomb or missile if they knew who the target was = "Nick Berg's revenge !"
to whoever pickled that ordnance and good riddance !

Something strikes me about this type of liberal...almost as if he and his liberal companions do NOT want ANY success in the middle east at the cost of possibly being wrong about the administration. Anyone else sense this in the liberals you engage in debate with?

Yes, in general that has been true since LBJ. If America engages in a war it is "a globaly bully" against "a poor and opressed proletariat" in the case of the VC or "freedom fighters" in Iraq (as they have been called in the US Press).
-
They should continue to bomb that corpse untill a crater the size of a couple of city blocks develops.
put a fence around the rim.
put the guantnamo inmates and any other insurgents captured in combat against coalition forces in it.
resume bombing.
repeat as required.
-
if its true, then he died a quick and most likely, painless death. That would be too bad....... If there is a place where exceptionally mean people go after death and suffer, I hope he is there and that it hurts like hell for a long long time.

No, members of the military can not collect bounty money. However I bet the local resident that provided the intel gets a first-class ticket to where ever they wish to go.
"Caldwell also said U.S. and Iraqi troops carried out 17 raids around Baghdad following al-Zarqawi's killing."
I wonder if the raids came out of additional intel from local residents or if intel was found at the bombed safehouse?

BOOM! BOOM! Out go the lights!
Congratualtions to Iraq, Jordan, Task Force 140, and the rest of the coalition.
Iraqis are dancing in the streets, Zarqawi is smoldering in Hell, it's a good day.
There will be rough days ahead. AlQeada will now attempt to show they are still on top and still in charge, and many innocents may pay for this success. Let's hope the right people stand their ground and stay the course, making this a better day for the future than it is today.

Okay... haven't read anything or looked at any pics... just going from what I heard on the radio this morning.

They got him Sandy. I saw the pics, watching CNN now... looks like him to me.
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.

woo hoo i hope it was slow and painfull hot shrapnel slow sizzling its way though his convulsing body may he burn in hell for the rest of time

: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.

This is excellent news...I only hope it is a major confidence booster to our men and women serving in harms way, to the Iraqi people, and to all the citizens of the coaliton hosting troops in Iraq....And to America =).....
I think I realize how my grandparents may have felt to a degree when Hitler took his life....This is the first time I have felt so jubilant, and rejoiced a persons death
-
I was very happy to see Iraqi's on the street, jubilant.. celebrating this dirtbags demise.
That the most encouraging thing I've seen yet.. evidence citizens here and there are on the same page, looking towards the same goal.. a Free Iraq for Iraqi's.
Damn good news, indeed.
-
ok...can we start drawing down the us troop levels? I sense a possible shift here and we should take advantage of it. Perhaps now with the coward monster dead and AQ in iraq clearly on the defensive (now more than ever), the iraqi guvmnt can now take a leading role in its own defense. Just this day naming the last key minister positions to be filled in the permanent guvmnt. Lets hope things finally begin to shift for the better.
Heres more of what Nick Bergs dad had to say about Bush today:
The guy clearly has an opinion.....
http://today.reuters.com/news/newsarticle.aspx?type=politicsNews&storyid=2006-06-08T141552Z_01_N08295664_RTRUKOC_0_US-IRAQ-ZARQAWI-BERG.xml&src=rss&rpc=22
-
They played a clip on the radio of Nick Berg's father today while I was driving to lunch. He basically said he did not beleive that Zaqawi had anything to do with Nick's death, he said it was all a fabrication of the Bush administration. He then said that the Bush regime is a greater killer/rapist/toturer than Sadaam ever was...so much for his opinions on the world stage eh?
Interesting timing indeed...
1.) Today the USS Cole resumed active duty (Zarqawi was said to have planned that bombing).
2.) Today the new Iraqi gubment announced it had filled the position of defense minister.
-
Nick Berg's fathers opinions are no more valid that Cindy Sheehans.. and mine or yours.
A terroist murderer is dead.
Great!
Now, why would that be a trigger for reducing troop levels? Is the mission done?
Has the slaughter of Iraqi's ceased yet? Secular violence dissapated yet?

this is why they are busy trying to kill themselves and get into heaven with allah's 72 virgins ... can you imagine going home to that every night??

I remain hopeful hang. And the hope that I do have is elevated with the death of that monster coward. Hope is strong here.

As said earlier...Is there any time thats better for killing Al Zaquari?(sp)....We could have gotten him any day of the year, and some whack off liberals would come up with some conspiracy correlating(sp) the day of his death to some event......
Way to go....I only hope this re insures confidence in our soldiers, the other soldiers of the coaliation, the iraqi people, and the American People...Although this will not end insurgency, I do hope this will give enough of a confidence boost to all partys involved to get the wrecking ball rolling....
way to go everyone
********THIS JUST IN...THIS JUST IN.....IT WASNT F-16's that dropped the bombs!....It was Chappy and some brit from the movie IRON EAGLE III.....They were seen flying a P-38 and a Spit XIV, with 1980's Hollywood glass cockpit, and laser guidance systems.........The forward air controllers consisted of a team of juvenilles, released from juvy hall to take part in this mission, drawn together by their bond in aviation....********
all joking aside, today is a day to be proud

Very good news indeed. Hopefully the violence in Iraq will begin to slow down now and some other nutjob doesnt just step up and take this guys place.
ok...can we start drawing down the us troop levels?
My son has already served a full 1 year tour in Iraq and is scheduled to rotate back to Iraq in October. I dont think we will be downsizing our troop strength in Iraq just yet. Before that can happen the Iraqis have to be capable of providing their own security and I dont think they are there just yet.
If the violence does indeed slow down (and hopefully stop), US troops can concentrate on training the Iraqi Army and Police so we can leave sooner.

I think that's how Osama plays the game. Good old "Z" was looking to take over turf from Osama. He ordered the "hit" and we were the "hitman" in essence.
I'm glad he's gone, no question, and I like the fact that we took him for sure.
-
Wow, the force and accuracy of those bombs are amazing.
I woke up this morning at 4.15 am and saw that they said he was dead. Glad it's true!
Hope he's happy in hell.

I was listening to Air America, to hear how crazy the extremist on the other side are tonight, and what they had to say about Zarqawi's death....
Mike Malloy, and it seems like all of his listeners believe that 9/11 was an inside job by the government, so start a war with Iraq...Bin Laden is employed by the CIA....And Zarqawi is 1 of 2 things....1- employed by the CIA, the same as UBL....or 2- A fictional character, brought to the spotlight by elaborate military deception......
He even went to the point of saying, "Zarqawi isnt the type of guy you want living next door....well, I dont know..Maybe he is? Who knows what is true and what isnt true with our nazi government"....
What a crackhead

hehe... I just checked out the AA website. Ya know, just from the stuff on the front page, it's really gotta be a kinda "suck in the doofus crowd" angle on making money rather than serious political commentary.

jeezus.... the liberal dimotwits on TV are STILL shrieking... by now; you'd think they'd be hoarse. Can't recall when the last time was I saw such incredibly lame and off the wall stuff from an extremist party wing..
oh, wait.
That would be yesterday when we were having a gay flag burners that wanna get married constitutional crisis.
I miss slow news weeks.

I'm just glad that, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is dead. I've never said this about another human being before in my life but I really hope he rots at the devils doorstep.

I've said it about a lot of people. There are several people who still need killing & it's just too bad we can't bring this particular pig humping punk back to life & gingerly slice off his head nice & slow. I'd like to hear him gurgle his last breaths.
Just thinking about crushing his teeth one by one & pulling hunks of flesh off him with a pair of pliers makes me smile. Every once in a while it strikes me that being Lucifer might have it's rewards now & then.
Burn in Hell zarqawi.

I hear you...Like I said earlier, I almost feel like I am going through the emotions that my grandparents generation must have gone through upon news of the death of Adolph Hitler...It's pretty nice =)

WTF are you talking about?
I say "YAY...al-Zarqawi is dead!" and you say "yeah he's dead but our govt is lying about something I don't know what but they have to be lying because they came out to quickly with the info and I know that can't be good because they lie so much it has to be a lie.".
And you call me a cheerleader? If by saying good he is dead makes me a cheerleader then fine you can call me a cheerleader.
A brown shirt republican? Where the hell did that come from? I didn't know you had to be a Nazi to be happy he is dead. (btw I would rather be a brown shirt republican than a pink shirt cuddlinghunkcrat)
In case you haven't been paying attention I am not a Republican. I would not join ANY party. I have always chose the person I felt was the best for the job.
Now I used to say I was more of a Democrat until Slick got elected then I saw the party for what it was. It's the party of victims. I chose to think for myself and listen to all sides but believe none of them totally.
BTW just because I'm not a Dem does not make me a Repub.
You need to back away from what ever you are smoking!

Looks like the monster coward suffered. He even recognized americans were in control of his death.

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.
Which for some reason twigged yer biscuit. No, I don't abandon all reason and logic when I watch the news. I have a brain, and occasionaly employ it as a filter. This isn't a position that should require defending..
As I remarked before.. keep drinking the koolaid.

In the "not a big surprise" category, Iraqi reporters cheered the news that Zarqawi is dead, while American reporters didn't. In fact, over the past two days, the American mainstream media has been working itself into a frenzy trying to tell people that this is not only "not a major blow to terrorism" (Sawyer), that we should expect [translation: we in the media fervently hope] "things to get dramatically worse" (Russert). Some are even spinning this as a "good" for Al-Qaida (CBS), something that one would normally expect only Al-Qaida and the most rabid "martyrdom is victory" Islamists to say.
In any event, I've never been so disgusted with media coverage as I have over the past two days. That the American media are in a funk over an American military success in Iraq and the war on terror is to be expected, but the levels to which they are sinking rival the famous "condolence telegram" sent by Eamon De Valera (the President of the Irish Republic) to the German Government on the death of Hitler.
I think Noel Shepperd nailed it on Newsbusters.org when he wrote:
"If Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri, and all of al Qaeda’s leaders in Iraq and throughout the world laid down their arms and surrendered to American forces, would the media report it as good news?
Judging from the initial press reaction to the killing of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in Iraq by the American military on Wednesday, the answer appears to be no.
In fact, this tepid response to the death of the leader of al Qaeda in Iraq – a man who has at times in the past couple of years been depicted as more vital to this terrorist network than the currently in-hiding bin Laden – suggests quite disturbingly that America’s media are fighting a different war than America’s soldiers.
According to NewsBusters, CNN’s senior editor for Arab affairs Octavia Nasr said the following about Zarqawi’s death on “American Morning” Thursday:
"Some people say it will enrage the insurgency, others say it will hurt it pretty bad. But if you think about the different groups in Iraq, you have to think that Zarqawi's death is not going to be a big deal for them."

News of Zarqawi's death spread rapidly across the bloodied nation Thursday as people ran to tell their neighbors or sent cellphone text messages to friends farther afield.
Haider Abbas, 24, a *****e living in Basra, joined other students in a street party and a bout of celebratory gunfire.
"This is the second time in my life I shoot to express my happiness," he said. "The first was when Saddam was captured."
In parts of that southern city, women danced in the streets and revelers handed out sweets.
but, of course its pretty easy to cherry pick quotes to get your point across, whatever your point of view may be
Originally posted by Washington Monthly
"One relevant angle to this story, however, that has not been emphasized (or even mentioned) by most news outlets this morning is that Zarqawi could have been taken out years ago, on several occasions, but Bush decided not to strike.
" NBC News has learned that long before the war the Bush administration had several chances to wipe out his terrorist operation and perhaps kill Zarqawi himself -- but never pulled the trigger.
"In June 2002, U.S. officials say intelligence had revealed that Zarqawi and members of al-Qaida had set up a weapons lab at Kirma, in northern Iraq, producing deadly ricin and cyanide.
The Pentagon quickly drafted plans to attack the camp with cruise missiles and airstrikes and sent it to the White House, where, according to U.S. government sources, the plan was debated to death in the National Security Council . . .
"This NBC report was later confirmed by the Wall Street Journal and Australian journalists who got on-the-record comments from the former head of the CIA's Osama bin Laden unit.
"So, while it's no doubt good news that Zarqawi is no more, it's worth remembering that Bush wasn't willing to hit this known al-Qaeda terrorist in a known location based on air-tight intelligence before the war even began."

If I'm missing your sarcasm forgive me. But it sure sounded like Seagoon was disgusted simply because not everyone said "Yea we got him".
Now lets look at the response of the "media".
The Liberal rag Washington Post -
His killing is the most significant public triumph for the U.S.-led military coalition in Iraq since the 2003 capture of Saddam Hussein, although analysts warned that Zarqawi's death may not stem the tide of insurgency and violence any more than Hussein's capture did.
Sounds pretty even handed to me.
The liberal rag New York Times -
The killing of Mr. Zarqawi provided a boost to the morale of the Iraqis and Americans trying to a new democratic state here, which Mr. Zarqawi and his followers were working so hard to destroy.

if martyrdom was so welcome to him, why did he attempt to scurry away like a frightened rabbit, when he saw the US soldiers. Dying like the coward he was was a fitting end for him.
the liberals were in a greater flurry today on their stupid little channel. I wonder when they will openly admit mourning his loss?

This is rather delusional, itself. Seems some will always see the threat as those who don't fit in in their specific obnoxious political support group rather than where it actually is. :aok

Ya gotta love it...The liberals claiming how important it is to catch one man (Osama)...June 2006, Zarqawi was arguably more powerful than Osama because his ability to recruit, train, plan, and carry out attacks against our soldiers, and the liberals say killing this "one man" wont change anything....
I cant wait until we catch Osama to hear what the liberals will say...Undoubtedly it will be a trivial event in their eyes, and nothing more than the Bush administration finally releasing him after years of captivity in CIA prisons in Eastern Europe to increase low polls!....Give me a break...
Ya know...Sometimes I wonder what if flight 93 actually made it to DC and crashed into the capitol or Whitehouse? Is that what it would have taken to light a flame under our bellybutton and open our eyes?

I'm elated he's dead, but I don't think he was the genius that he was made out to be. Which is what he would've had to have been to fill the role that the media cast him.
What's strange to me is that both his comrades and his enemies cheer his death.
