Call me a skeptic, but even with every channel now reporting, I'd like some proof. We thought he was the one we got before.
I can only pray and hope it's true.
Edit: Foxnews reporter says it has been confirmed by DNA testing. |

Congratulations Task Force 145! It has been a long dogged hunt.
General Casey says Zarqawi body verified by fingerprint ID, facial ID, and known scars on his body.

I've always said that it ain't true until I hear that George Bush, Donald Rumsfeld or the top US General in Iraq has called a press conference to announce it.
George Bush will be addressing the nation at 8:00 am this morning.
WOO HOO !!!!!!!
IT'S TRUE !!!!!
BRAVO ZULU, GUYS !!!!!

A mega hog farm in Iowa would be a good burial place for him.

Ann Coulter has it right...

Thu Jun 8, 2006 8:23 AM ET
By Jon Hurdle
PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - Michael Berg, whose son Nick was beheaded in Iraq in 2004, said on Thursday he felt no sense of relief at the killing of the al Qaeda leader in Iraq and blamed President Bush for his son's death.
Asked what would give him satisfaction, Berg, an anti-war activist and candidate for U.S. Congress, said, "The end of the war and getting rid of George Bush."
<snip>
Berg, who is running as a Green Party candidate, has repeatedly blamed Bush and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld for his 26-year-old son's death.
Berg, who is running as a Green Party candidate, has repeatedly blamed Bush and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld for his 26-year-old son's death.
Nick Berg's videotaped beheading by hooded captors was posted on the Internet, and the father said he could understand what Zarqawi's family was going through.
<snip>
Zarqawi's organization took responsibility for the execution of Nick Berg in May 2004. The video was published with a caption saying: "Abu Musab al-Zarqawi slaughtering an American."
When an Islamist Web site showed the video of a man severing Berg's head, the CIA said Zarqawi was probably the one wielding the knife. The father said he was not convinced.
"I have been lied to by my own government," he told Reuters on Thursday.

One could never be sure which would come first, Zarqawi's remains reaching room temperature or negative spin from the media...
| Quote: | Good on Imus: Catches Boettcher Spinning Bombing as Response to Zarqawi Killing
Posted by Mark Finkelstein on June 8, 2006 - 08:16
Good on Don Imus! On today's 'Imus in the Morning,' he called NBC reporter Mike Boettcher on his attempt to spin a bombing in Baghdad as a "not good" response to the killing of Zarqawi.
Here's how it went down. Boettcher was reporting from Baghdad and had this to say:
Boettcher: "Well, good morning, Don. We have the response here right now [to the Zarqawi killing], it’s not good. There have been, there has been another bombing. Thirteen people are dead in central Baghdad. So that is apparently the current reaction from the insurgents to Zarqawi's death."
Imus: "How do we know that's a reaction to that, Mike?"
Boettcher started to back down: "We don't know for sure, Don. You’re right, you’re absolutely right."
Imus: "Yeah. I mean, this could be another bombing. They try to blow the place up every day, so, but go ahead, Mike."
A by-now abject Boettcher: "No, you’re absolutely right."
Bravo, Imus, for calling Boettcher on this. Would Matt Lauer or another NBC host have done the same, or would they have uncritically bought into Boettcher's spin?

| I just wonder how long it will take for the MSM to find some angle with which to draw a parallel to Vietnam. I mean, if their current meme is that Iraq is Vietnam all over again, they'll have to find some parallel, won't they? |
