Al-Zarqawi May Be Among Dead in Iraq Fight

[boston bean]

BAGHDAD, Iraq - U.S. forces sealed off a house in the northern city of Mosul where eight suspected al-Qaida members died in a gunfight — some by their own hand to avoid capture. A U.S. official said Sunday that efforts were under way to determine if terror leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was among the dead.

1. Probably his #3 guy. Again.

Why would anybody take that job? Ack!

[katinmn]

2. Uh-huh

:boring:

[evlbstrd]

3. How many times have we "killed" that guy?

And wouild it change anything if he really is dead?

[DavidBowman]

21. I think it would

I'm not sure what the structure of AQ in Iraq is, but it seems like most of their activities are planned if not executed by Zarqawi. I would love to see pictures of his dead ass on TV tonight.

[LeighAnn]

25. I figured they were making him up in the first place

Welcome to DU!!! :hi:

[DavidBowman]

32. Thanks

Why do you think that? We've captured communications between Bin LAden and Zarqawi.

[DemonFighterLives]

44. Which supposed communications were the real Zarqawi and

the real Osama?
Welcome to DU.
I am suspicious of anything that the dubcabal puts out.

[DavidBowman]

45. Who knows?

And plenty of communications seem to have been sent to Arab news sources to be played on Arab TV. Anyway, is there any evidence that Zarqawi doesn't exist? And if so, who is the dude that is always on TV?

[DemonFighterLives]

48. You brought up the communication

I was hoping you had the link. Most of the Osama stuff I have seen seem hard to believe.

[DavidBowman]

51. Nah, I don't have a link.

Again, who knows? I guess there is reason to be skeptical, but I haven't seen any evidence that Zarqawi is fake. Has anyone?

[LeighAnn]

49. Yeah, but a lot of time that stuff is fake

Remember the video of "fat Osama"?

On edit:

[DemonFighterLives]

50. That's what i'm talking about

Fat Osama was laughing about pulling off 9/11. Kind of throws a lot of red flags up. Isn't 911 the reason we went to war, er wmds, er.

[DavidBowman]

52. Yo

What does fat, snub-nosed Osama have to do with Zarqawi? This is a non-sequitur.

[DemonFighterLives]

53. The point is that, let's say in my opinion a lot of the communications

are catapulted propaganda. Everytime some terrorist event happens Zarqawi's name comes up and the rehash of tying Al Qaeda and Iraq together.
The freepers still believe to this day that Iraq attacked the towers.
Zman serves as a boogeyman for dubco, because dubby doesn't want to imprision his buddy Osama.
That's all.
:beer:

[rumpel]

37. Agree.

[durablend]

39. Is he nicknamed Kenny?

Anyone know by chance?

:evilgrin:

[evlbstrd]

42. They killed al-Zarqawi!

You bastards!

[NanceGreggs]

4. Is this going to be like the "Chemical Ali" story ...

... where he was shot dead, later captured by US troops, killed in a car wreck, on the loose again, shot dead in an ambush ...

[TallahasseeGrannie]

5. Or maybe it was

his number two man?

[stevedeshazer]

6. Boy, do they ever need this story

It's bullshit.

[bahrbearian]

7. Yeah , now we'll be greeted with Flowers, and the War is Over.

[jobycom]

9. Nice exit strategy. "We got him. Bye." nt.

[izzie]

30. Bush will get his new jacket and a new gun.

I just love it when we see Bush in his new 'for the job clothing' how he must have loved the national Guard suit. He can keep the new gun next to Saddam and wave it in his father's face. I used to love doing these things when I was 9 years old also.

[dogday]

8. All they will find is his fake leg

but they were close....

[Binka]

15. Hey Sister Friend I Will PM You Tomorrow

LOVE and HUGS. Thinking about you and you boy. Every. Day.

[dogday]

17. Hey girl! How is your Son?

Let me know how he is doing..and what is going to happen to him .. Thanks for being there....

[HeeBGBz]

10. Is this the third or fourth time he's dead?

I forget.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

16. i think it's the third time.

sometimes i get his deaths mixed up with when he loses a leg, or a lung.

I can't tell what makes him a more tenacious enemy, his skills in resurrection or his regenerative magic. It's like fighting the end-boss in a really cheesy nintendo game.

[TahitiNut]

34. That cat's got nine lives.

:eyes:

[jobycom]

11. He's just as likely to be the guy in the mall in Tacoma. nt.

[still_one]

12. I hope so

bush could have gotten him 3 years ago, but was so intent on going into iraq, he didn't

[Binka]

13. Did They Find His al-Qaida Dog Tags?

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi
SS# 666

Sheesh give it a fucking break already.

[Rick Myers]

26. Good one!!!

[KG]

14. again?

[brettdale]

18. Hahahaha

I guess the stories on getting the number two guy, werent cutting it, for the public, so now we have the number one guy.


This is a serious question, when was the last time a reporter asked the President, "Where is Bin Laden?"

I would like to email CNN, ABC, CBS, FAUX, Washington Post and give them the stats.

[spanone]

19. That would be WAY too convenient.

[thebigidea]

20. maybe he escaped at the last second leaving behind his Daytimer again

[Binka]

24. Ah Shit Bummer When That Happens!

But he probably has a blackberry. Or a raspberry. Or a boysenberry. Or a gooseberry.

[newyawker99]

22. This again?

*yawn*


:crazy:

[LiberalInGeorgia2005]

23. Hope this is true...

but it still doesn't justify this war.

[DistressedAmerican]

27. Right And Right! Welcome To DU!

:toast:

[0007]

28. We got him!

Please tune in to my victory speech

[mopaul]

29. ZARQAWI---MAN OF STEEL!!!

[NNN0LHI]

31. All I want to know is how many legs this motherscratcher have? n/t

[DavidBowman]

36. Not that motherscratcher

Bill Parker, you understand!

...a spherical object resting in the highway...

[atomic-fly]

40. Bill Roberts?

[frogmarch]

33. Bushco know we're onto them

and their fake terra alerts whenever they need them...so, now this.

[KharmaTrain]

35. "The Latest": Reports Highly Unlikely...Bwahahahahaha

Geesh...they can't even get a full news spin cycle out of this one anymore. Must be even the CIA-trained editors at CNN can't deal with this Rovian stunt.

Guess the Rummy "full Ginsburg" on the talk shows this morning didn't go over too well and Schmidt's slam of Jack Murtha really boomeranged.

OK...when do we pull Osama out of his hidey hole???

[elfin]

38. OK, so NOW we can come home

"Mission Accomplished" - this, of course, would NOT be a "cut and run"

[atomic-fly]

41. 25 million REWARD on this guy.

I think someone would claim that one real fast.

[ECH1969]

43. When you think about it

How many people know who Bin Laden or Zarqawi really are other then hearing some news reports about them. I don't think getting either of them is going to help *'s ratings at all.

[Domitan]

46. Zarqawi=Michael Myers

The evil "dies" only to return again and again and again!

[Justice Is Comin]

47. Are they kidding?

When he dies, there will be five more to take his place. Didn't use to be. But there is now.
