I think Jordan already ruled out Zarqawi's burial there.

I thought Jordan said yesterday they wouldn't take his body or give him a "proper" funeral.
The only burial he deserved was to be stuffed with pig guts and fed to sharks.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- The U.S. military says terror leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has been buried in accordance with Muslim customs and traditions. What sort of customs and traditions do muslims have for burying a murdering psychopathic lunatic? Desert animals are likely munching him down right now.

Oh, wait, I forgot: we have to accord Geneva Convention and other rights and "civilities" to vitually any scumbag that wants to blow or hack up Americans any time, anywhere.
Five people at The Supreme Court say it's unconstitutional to do otherwise, you know.

The body has to be washed and wrapped in a simple white sheet. The burial spot must be about 6 ft deep and his head has to face toward Mecca. There's a lot of other stupid crap involved but no matter what he doesn't deserve any respect or dignity in death because he did not earn it in life.

The body has to be washed Hopefully we used pigs blood.

"...Muslim customs and traditions".Oh, I guess that means they cut off his head and threw him in the middle of the street after boobytrapping his body. Isn't that the Muslim traditional burial?

The U.S. military says terror leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has been buried in accordance with Muslim customs and traditions. I'm trying to recall the Muslim customs and traditions that I have seen regarding handling of dead bodies. Does that mean that a gleeful crowd ripped his body to shreds with their bare hands, played soccer using his head for a ball, and hung his remains from a bridge?

The pig should have been buried in the womans latrine at the baghdad army base.
These Islamic animals are sure being treated well according to their religious customs.My Butt. The U.S. government,being run by this administration is starting to tick me off.
Our men are being butchard by these animals and all the administration cares about is making sure we don't offend the religious customs of these barbarians.
To: puppypusher
Who knows what they really did to this body before releasing it.
Not that it matters. Dead is dead.

Wonder where he's buried? Jordan? Iraq? Hopefully with the Devil, in the Deep Blue Sea. That would be the Arabian Sea, or the Indian Ocean, not the shallow enough to dredge him up, Persian Gulf.

With one exception: Attach his head to a headless pigs body and hang the pig from the bridge in Fallujah.

So I guess this means he was beheaded, burned and hung from a bridge?

I may have misunderstood. I thought it might have been an "
All Muslims are evil with blood dripping off of their fangs.." type comment. I see so many of those.
When you probably meant the way Zarq's people treated others.
Sorry 'bout that. It's been a LONG day. ;-)
