Confirmed: al-Zarqawi was killed... Options

[Big P]

quote:
Six people including al-Zarqawi and a key lieutenant, spiritual adviser Sheik Abd-al-Rahman, were killed in the strike, the military said. Iraqi forces were the first to arrive at the scene, Caldwell said.

"Zarqawi's body was then removed, brought back to a secure location," Caldwell said. "By visual identification it was established that that probably was him.

"But they ... did further examination of his body, found more scars and tattoos consistent with what had been reported and what we knew about him. They then did a fingerprint identification, and that came back ... this morning as positively identified as Zarqawi having been killed."

"We have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that Zarqawi was in the house," Caldwell said. "It was 100 percent identification." Even so, DNA testing will be conducted, he said.

Some people say that he didn't know it was coming so we didn't stick it to him. But it wounded him very badly. Then when the troops went in what do you think was going thru his mind when he was suddenly surrounded by U.S. troops. Straight Fear. When he was put on the stretcher he was given to the Iraqi army and was supposed to go to the hospital. But do you think the Iraqi's cared? They had their way with him and he got what was coming. The last thing he saw before he died was an American Soldier.

LOL, well put chum....

Someone mentioned Vito from the Sopranos; remember in a recent episode he's guessing at the time of day while doing outdoors work... ends up 2 hours off too early then he yells "F*** ME!" ... I've a feeling
Zarquacky in his final moments of agony was looking up at the much satisfied eyes of the US and Iraqi troops and what he was incoherently mumbling was>

"F*** ME!"
