ABC News is reporting that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is dead, along with his "spiritual adviser."
I have nothing to link to, I haven't found any web-based corroboration. Not even on the ABC website.
It's 2:19 a.m. here, and I'll do the best I can. Look for updates.
Well, except for ABC on the teevee.
Update: ABC news is reporting that Zarqawi was injured in an airstrike, and then later died after being transferred to Iraqi authorities
Update Again: According to Fox, Iraqi PM has announced that Zarqawi is dead, to a cheering room.
Watching live press conference now.
Gen. Casey:
"This happened in an airstrike which was conducted against an identified isolated safehouse"
Right before the PC started, the Fox reporter stated that Zarqawi's death was verified by DNA, but the anchor cut in for the PC
Update IV: Oh holy Shiite, as sure as the sunni rises in the East, I will wake up with a headache in the morning.
Update Seex: Expect the leftists to ask.."Where's Osama?" He's reading your blogs, you assmonkeys.
Update Seven: Even Vinnie sleeps. Take it away, Rusty.

Watching on CNN pipeline.
They are trying to marginalize the event, and you heard one reporter at the conclusion of the press conference a reporter calling out "What does this mean to the American People!?"
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!?
Sure it is a network, but you cut off the head of the snake and teh rest should follow suit.
Just a thought.

It's just been confirmed by the Iraqis. Outstanding news.
Let's hope he was unable to clear a jam in his weapon at some point in the fight. That would be a fine working definition of irony.

He didn't die immediately which seems fair. I'm sure there are many people around the world including a good number of Iraqis who hope he expired in terror and pain. Let's hope we see the the airstrike on TV.
Pictures of his corpse are a must, to convince Iraqis.

Zarkman:
You will be forever remembered in T-shirts worn by moonbat college kids on Campus's everywhere.
Rest in pieces, Abu -- you have a date in a hot place soon.
Jeez I wish I had kept some sort of bottle around to celebrate his death.

I read they took him alive and that he died of wounds while in custody.

Be advised coward, I have your IP address, and I will be passing it on to Homeland Security and others. BTW, he was a failure and he liked young boys, that's haram... no virgins.
It's a shame when your own brothers turn you in cause you're no longer effective and they want to make a martyr, nah; Do they really think reward money is coming? Nah. We're not financing for a death his brothers wanted because he was a liability, no new toys will be bought with our money for the new guy.
Let's get on it and out him Rusty, obviously he wants to go to prison and is obsessed with a certain activity.

What's your beef with John Ryan? He's no anti-American Commie! He's more of a wishy washy Charlie Brown! Pick on someone your own size!

Kudos to our military. There'll be more like zarqawi, but at least his beheading days are over.

mmmm, mmm, mmm. Dead jihadis in the morning makes for a fine cup of coffee!
Now expect Zaraqawi's death to quickly fade into the background asap, and also observe how MSM efforts to highlight insurgent bombings will REDOUBLE in the next few days and weeks. But don't be fooled. The situation in Iraq won't be deteriorating-- it'll only seem that way! Lest we forget!

Sacramento Bee has nothing about it in the on-line edition of their paper. LA Times has a single headline. WaPo has picture of the bum, and below it a headline for Haditha to offset the good news. Lefties are stunned, speechless and are presently developing talking points to spin this in their favor.
