At least one Arab television media outlet reported that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the head of the al-Qaida in Iraq, was killed in Iraq on Sunday afternoon when eight terrorists blew themselves up in the in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul.

The unconfirmed report claimed that the explosions occurred after coalition forces surrounded the house in which al-Zarqawi was hiding.

WASHINGTON, Nov 20 (Reuters) - U.S. authorities are looking into whether al Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was killed in a gunfight in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, a U.S. official said on Sunday, but a White House spokesman said that was "highly unlikely."

IN CASE HE REALLYIS CONFIRMED DEAD:

QUICK! Someone post a link to Democrat quotes complaining that "we haven't captured al-Zarqawi", etc.

The time to hid the Dems with it will be SOON AFTER CONFIRMATION!

And then keep hammering!

[Kozak]

I'll believe it when it makes the NYT headline.

Tests have shown that the NYT is wrong 85-percent of the time.

I'd wait for a more reliable source.



At this point the "National Enquirer" is a more reliable source then the Grey Old Hag.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

They'll just think of something else Bush hasn't done yet.

[TheRobb7]

I mean HIT the Dems with it.

When we get some possible GOOD news...we're full of it:)

[freema]

ROTFLMAO!

[Ed_in_NJ]

The MSM will not announce it until the rats let them know that they've got the "talking points" ready.

[js1138]

I'm waiting for Pravda nd the Weekly World News.

At this point the "National Enquirer" is a more reliable source then the Grey Old Hag.

LOL. So's the Weekly World News :)

Murtha - "That whole thing I did the other day was a ruse. I convinced them we were about to leave. Zark and his friends got together for a party are we fried their a$$es! I fully support our victory in Iraq!"

[mainepatsfan]

I think we'll know before Turkey day. Hopefully sooner.

[TheRobb7]

True.

Perhaps we could counter with "If we had passed the Murtha resolution, al-Zarqawi would not have been killed, because we would have withdrawn."

I don't know. There's LOTS of smarter Freepers than me out there who could consolidate this better.

'Rat talking points:

[SE Mom]

I think you're right- and if he's dead..that will make for one HAPPY THANKSGIVING for our troops:)

[mainepatsfan]

They also need to decide who'll be giving their response.

[mainepatsfan]

Bush should bring his head to the ceremony where he pardons the turkey.

[Milhous]

I'll believe it when it makes the NYT headline

The Guardian the NYT's NYT so to speak just published this headline

Al-Zarqawi May Be Among Dead in Iraq Fight

[woofie]

Because of the threat of Cheney's torture chambers he chose to end his life as he had lived it ...his way.

[StrangerInParadise]

I hope it was slow, painful and he is right now having his first meeting with Iblis....and finding out that his 72 virgins include Pee Wee Herman, and the like.
