(Update: President Bush is expected to comment on Zarqawi's demise around 7:30 a.m. EST. Press reports said the president learned about the successful strike on the terrorist leader Tuesday evening.)

(CNSNews.com) - Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the Jordanian-born terrorist leader of al Qaeda in Iraq, has been killed, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki announced at a press conference on Iraqi state television shortly before 4 a.m. Thursday Washington time.

Pretty big news...

... and his "spiritual advisor" bought the farm too... He was the guy voted most likely to take over from Zarqawi on his death... :D

Of course, every bloodthirsty, cowardly f$king terrorist needs a "spiritual advisor" close at hand.... :rolleyes:

I just wanted to check Aljazeera as well:

Forming the new enemy, based on the "martyrdom":

In front of the family house, a 13-year-old boy, who said he was al-Zarqawi's nephew, stared at a crowd of reporters who had gathered there.

"I'm so sad about my uncle," said the boy, who identified himself as Omar.

"Expert" view:

Quote:

---

Muntasir al-Zayyat, an Egyptian expert on Islamic groups, told Aljazeera: "Al-Maliki and other Iraqi politicians do not recognise the truth.

"The first thing to know is that the Iraqi resistance is from Iraq itself.

"Al-Zarqawi is one of the few mujahidin Arabs (holy fighters) who entered Iraq to fight US and foreign forces which occupied the country.

"Without the support of honest Iraqis to the Iraqi resistance, al-Zarqawi would not be able to stay all this period doing operations that harmed the occupation forces."

I have always wondered if the people who rejoiced when Saddam's statue was pulled down are now among the ranks of the insurgents.

And... will Al-Zarqawi's death be a blow to the occupation or insurgent forces? It will boost morale for the US and the allies for sure, but will those also boost the morale of the insurgents, as they all look to become "martyrs"?

Just saw this, just now, no... right now:

I watched the video on www.abcnews.com glad we got him!

Does come at a nice time for Bush though. He needed something like this to try and boost his ratings. As for Zarqawi its good to see him go. Now lets hope the media stops talking about him quickly.

MURACU, who says we want Bush to boost his ratings? I want him, that asshat Rumsfeld and the entire congress out. Especially Ted Kennedy, John Kerry and the rest of the perpetually elected Zombies.

Road never said you guys wanted to boost his ratings but I did say it is nicely timed for Bush. I wouldn't be suprised if just before or just after the presidentials "they" pulled osma out of a hat. As for the rest, the general american voter is too easy to manipulate for there to be any big changes in the political landscape in the states.

Call me a glass half full kind of guy MURACU. :D

The left and the right are hard up on their so called elected officials. Look at Ted Kennedy? They want sweeping change in congress but are unwilling to look into their own party. Mine, they want cetain issues above others but continue to elect the same ones often for the same reasons as the left. Don't care, all talk no bite.

Talking about the half glass going out for a few pints tonight for my birthday. So I guess the politicains will just have to take care of them selves for tonight :D :drink:

cheers

It's nice to see the good guys get one for a change. Right up there with the capture of Saddam. Must be an incredible boost to morale.

I still don't think it makes a rats ass worth of difference. Insurgents are too dedicated to their way of life to stop, there will always be martyrs and those worshipping them, and for every one we kill, there's six more waiting in the wings.

However, it's nice that the beheading SOB finally got his. Hate to say it, but I read today that he lived for awhile after the attack - I hope it hurt, and I hope he was very very afraid.

Deb, why you sinister bitch. :D I agree with you. I hope it hurt like hell. But he's going to his virgins for following the word Allah and making war with those who do not accept the teaching of Mohammad. So it may not have bothered him, unless like alot of historical "leaders" he didn't believe a word of it and used the Koran as a tool.

MURACU - Enjoy your pint and H>B.

I prefer to think of myself as cynical, not sinister! :D

I have fairly serious doubts about Allah and his 70 virgins, just for the record. ;)

During which time he had ample opportunity to _know_ he lost this little game... and that makes me so incredibly happy because it would have been such a shame if he was killed so instantly that he never knew what happened...

DAMN... there goes the major selling point for another religion if I ever decide I need one before I die... :D

The virgins are actually unlimited. According to a line in the Koran.

//EDIT HOLE Lotta virgin's gettin' "deflowered" up there today. :eek:

Awwww... C'mon Road.... Your old enough and smart enough to understand that every religion has a catch.... The virgins are all 70 years old, wrinkled, ugly and sexually inexperienced...

But they are virgins I suppose... I'm glad they haven't cut off my right hand yet... Because there isn't a whole lot of water in that desert they live in for a good shower either.... &lt;LOL&gt;

Holy crap it must be Friday - beer and virgins in Cosmos! :rofl:

Seriously - virgins? B-O-R-I-N-G!

You do realize that if Allah does exist, you've both just earned a one way ticket to not-unlimited-virgins? Hey, that's actually a good question...if heaven is unlimited virgins, what's hell? Lounge lizards? Bar hags?

Speak for yourself Deb! Nothing boring about 1 let alone 70+!

;)

Ohhh. Galdron...

I'm sure you are the _best_ teacher...

:p

Well Thank God for Jay Leno, since he's the only one who is apparently concerned with the same things I am! :D He cleared up the heaven/hell thing for me. It's 72 virgins in heaven, 72 year old virgins in hell.

BOOM HEADSHOT!

MURACU, i would agree with you about the general voting US public and being manipulated. we have been complacent for the majority, we lost control and have been overfeeding and numbing ourselves, however, maybe we never had control. yet, and i can only speak for my own little area where i live, but more and more of us are becoming educated in our government and politics. yes, we believed we could bury our heads and live our lives, but since 9-11 that has changed, and it seems to be getting worse.

so we are being forced to get off our arses, get educated and get involved; and maybe, just maybe lose that gut so we can walk on beaches and not scare small children. we let it go for too long, hopefully we can still save the ship and help ourselves and others before the ship is completely lost. also MURACU, yes, i would hope the media will drop coverage soon, however, i will believe it will be milked for all it's worth, simply because it marks a "turning point" on the war on terrorism.

interesting. i have to wonder if he was paid a visit by an angel, Satan - like in "The Prophecy" perched up on crumbling wall, or worse, nobody; he died alone. feeling his life ebbing away, i wonder also, did he feel justified in his actions or remorse? near death or dying can change someone very quickly. unless they recover, then they tend to go back to their old habits. i have seen it with own members of my family (e.g. small example, smoking, "i swear to GOD that if i live i will never smoke again!"). then they do pull through and three-six months later they are back to their old ways. so i still wonder though, did Zarqawi feel any remorse or justification?

Hmmmmm,

Assuming that he really was Islamic, he would already have had two angels present. Muslims have two guardian angels, and they report back to Allah every thursday. One reports your good deeds and the other your bad ones.

So....................I guess one of the guys gets a well-earned break, and the other is about to find what work is really about?

I see that people have mentioned the 72 houris, but no one has mentioned anything about gilmans?

;)

EDIT TheShad0w please edit you signature first line................you have a redundant "s" attached to "Shadow"

Yes, I do remember the radio show..............early 1950's...........we didn't have a TV :p

But you should know by now that religion fascinates me. They aren't 70 they are young. Wouldn't catch many with dried up prunes would you? :D As for the left and right hand the Koran (Quran) makes the delineation of evil and good with the right over the left hand. Follow Allah, you are of the right. Do not and you are of the left. And what does the Holy Qur'an say of the left. Fire, all consuming. It is that line that often gets perverted. Among many.

As for the sexually inexperience, you are right. In my holy book. You get 30 something hotties and will rock your world.
