BAGHDAD, Iraq Jun 8, 2006 (AP)— 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 Wednesday evening along with seven aides.

I look forward to the president cartwheeling into this Press Conference!

[ThreePuttinDude]

This is great news to wake up to. Thanks Sofaman.

I'll be surprised if it gets the news coverage its should.
Even local Fox channel is covering the Indonesia "Crisis"
more in depth than Zarcouwi, but thats normal for these libs.

see ya' TPD

[metesky]

You're probably not far off.

Thanks for all your hard work there, FRiend.

[Just A Nobody]

Busy telling us this won't be the end of the insurgency.

FOX is doing the same.

[jveritas]

Sometimes I wish I can smuggle a hidden camera in the offices of the New York Times to record their hateful reaction every time we have great news for the USA.

"I wonder why a guy who's been chopping people's heads off would need a spiritual leader?"

Great question.

[ol painless]

Great news! Hopefully he suffered a painful death.

[Coldwater Creek]

Somehow I think that the President's humble hat will be on this morining.

[jebeier]

As Coronor, I must aver,
I thoroughly examined her.
And she's not only merely dead,
She's really most sincerely dead!

[tina07]

yep, heard that one too!

[leadpenny]

Alright, did anyone pick 0615 for the Kaplan story?

[aculeus]

Great news!

Side dishes:

1. That 2nd Lt Deserter's 15 minutes of MSM-powered fame has just been cut short.

2. The Iraqi media was delighted with the announcement ... but imagine the black mood in the NY Times newsroom, at NPR and at Dem HQs.

3. It was no accident. It was a well-coordinated US-Iraqi operation.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

I heard the name earlier, but for the life of me cannot remember it.

[Just A Nobody]

LOL! I "assumed" that is what happened. ;*)

[jveritas]

Correct, more great news to celebrate :)

[csvset]

Nice going and a big cheer to Special Operations, the Brits, the Jordanians, and the Iraqi soldiers. They all put it together and pulled off a big coup. Bravo to all.

Yes. Our guys have been chasing this bastard all over Iraq and they nailed him. We'll get the other jackasses as well. Whenever they pop their heads up out of the holes they hide in, we'll snag them.

[DollyCali]

apple pie is a great way to celebrate. I went to bed shortly after I got home(very tired). didn't even go to news side.. just the Dose briefly.

Guess it happened about 6PM EST? yesterday?

[mewzilla]

Thanks! Naming those two ministers is a big deal, and I hadn't heard anything else about that.

[Skooz]

What a way to wake up in the morning of my last day of my work week.

A hot cup of coffee, Free Republic, and a dead terrorist.

Life is good.

I knew things were starting to turn our way:

1. UN slapped down by U.S.
2. Coulter's book release/tour
3. Meathead's proposition defeated in CA
4. GOP retains house seat in CA
5. Dan Rather contract not renewed by CBS
6. Dixie Chick tour debacle in Red States

And now...
