Let that be a lesson to everyone...You post a vanity thread on FR, and you too could be receiving a pair of 500lbs'ers.

This is what a vanity can get you.

Seriously though - I didn't know he was surrounded before the air-strike. Good, at least he knew he was in big trouble and maybe felt some of the same fear Nick Berg and others felt before he ended their lives.

Looks like the town was locked down before the airstrike? If so Zark and his buddies inside the house must have known what was coming.

"Within hours, the US launched 17 raids on suspect houses around Baghdad, gathering what Maj-Gen Caldwell says was a treasure trove of information."

This is my second favorite thing next to Abu's death. We are going to blow such a hole in al crapa that we can finally get ahead of them.

Six corpses were initially taken from the ruins: a woman, a child,

Gen. Caldwell was asked about the child at the presser this morning. He said the earlier report of a child being there may have been incorrect, that the reports he got did not indicate the presence of a child.

[The MSM went into despondent meltdown on hearing that.]

could be struck without risk of mass civilian casualties.

Note the word mass. Civilian casualties are a harsh reality. Every civilian in that town knew that he was in the area. It would have been appropriate to smoke the whole town. But we did not. That is the restraint and decency that the USA shows.

Except that he wasn't dapper, even for an Arab. When we was dressed in Arab gear, he looked squalidly ordinary. In Western-style clothes, he looked sorry - fat boy with girl sneakers and a black rag on his head, everything else but dapper.

Ditto.

And to be surrounded by...A task force, called 77 or 145, of Delta Force commandos, Navy SEALs and British special operations experts..

How do you say, "Holy crap!", in Arabic?

This article definitely filled in some information blank spots.

Very cool.

A great morale booster for other, like minded, "spiritual advisor's", I'm sure.

Like Rush said today, "I hope the last thing he saw was the smiling face of our Special Forces troops."

"Six corpses were initially taken from the ruins: a woman, a child, two unidentified males"


Later reports confirmed no children.

Zarki's vanity was fed by the MSM propaganda machine. He started to believe his own press ... quagmire. There is no substitute for superior force. Irony.

Your reply was DEAD on; a fact lost on virtually everyone.
