WHOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!! ROT IN HELL ZARQAWI! CONGRATS TO ALL INVOLVED! FABULOUS NEWS!

[El Gato]

ID by facial recognition, fingerprints, body scars. I'd say they got him.

Gen. Casey says air strike on isolated safe house nine miles north of a town north of Baghdad. Tip from his own network, somebody ratted him out. Spiritual adviser was Sheik Abdul Rackman. (phonetic spellings)

"There is a group of Iraqis chanting "USA! USA! USA!" right now.

This kind of thing gets me choked up. ;-)"

Too few moments like this, huh Allegra? ;)

Stimulant drink of some sorts. It's also a fictional drug in Brave New World.

There is a group of Iraqis chanting "USA! USA! USA!" right now.

This kind of thing gets me choked up. ;-)

I know what you mean - certain levels of love and respect - of true gratitude and goodness - speak to the soul, don't they?

[MEG33]

Oh..Allegra!This is a good day indeed!

[Rte66]

Mad Abdul Rackham - his pirate name

[wildcatf4f3]

that one got me

[processing please hold]

I went to your link. Those are some really sick bastards over there. I can't believe they are Americans.

[peggybac]

Duh, I should have known that. Thanks.

[BurbankKarl]

I think that press conference where the general mocked him caused his downfall...

[Constantine XIII]

Dun Dun Dun...Another one bites the dust!

[dandelion]

I'm not sure exactly WHAT she is doing - she is Air Force Intel, and they brought her special to work with an Army EOD unit. I do know that the EOD will go in right before her, and she goes in right behind them. But to do what, I really don't know, I've not been told. She did reassure me that she isn't dismantling the bombs themselves...

Yes, I am praying very hard. I am very proud that she is good enough at what she is doing that she has been called in especially to do whatever it is that the American Military wants her to do. She is my brave girl. I am honored to have given birth to an American Warrior.

But I pray for her, she is my baby...

God protect all our men and women in uniform, and may Zarqawi's death bring us peace!

[nopardons]

Great graphic and very appropriate for this GREAT news!

How nice to share this momentous, historical event with you! :-)

I had the chance to go all over the world...nothing compares to what we have here. We are such a good caring nation, and we are so despised, but every hand is pointed in our direction for hand outs....sad, but true. The only reason, Canada and Mexico stand...is because, anyone who threatens them, would have to come through us.....sorry, I am very emotional right now........
