Zarqawi Killed

I'm not sure what this means. ( We are winning? ) Bush will expain the significance from the Rose Garden this morning.

-the BBC

UPDATE:
WASHINGTON - President Bush on Thursday hailed the killing of al-Qaida leader in Iraq Abu Musab al-Zarqawi by military forces in Iraq at an early morning press conference in the White House rose garden.

“This was a key player directly responsible for some of the most horrific killing in Iraq including U.S. men and women service people. You can’t under-estimate the significance of that. But our mission continues and it is an effective one that will involve more sacrifice and more fighting,” the (White House) official said.


UPDATE II:
U.S. military shows video with F-16s dropping two 500-pound bombs that killed Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. - CNN It is not exactly marines hoisting a flag over Mt. Surabachi is it?

Comments:
jason, what is your point? no snark needed here... regardless of our opinion of Bush's war in Iraq, AQ is the enemy, and good riddance to al-Zarqawi. Unless it turns out that the house we bombed was actually an elementary school full of kids and cute puppies, this is some rare good news from Iraq - enjoy it while it lasts.
 
Wouldn't you rather see us kill bad guys with limited exposure by our troops? They are far more likely to survive dropping a bomb on a convoy than getting into a firefight.
 
If Zarq was not asking for it, nobody ever asked for it in the history of the world. And I get that AQ is like a disease than wants me dead. I get all that, but I don't know...

Maybe it was all of the other 659 "turned corners" and "AQ third in commands" that have proceeded Zarq.

I want to enjoy it. Does that count for anything.
