All this means is that the SOB suffered. At least we were able to allow him to feel some of the pain of some of his victims, the majority of which were not military. Abu Musab al-Zarqaw was a coward and a bully. He did not have the personal strength to try to fight the US military in conventional ways so he resorts to killing women and children in mosques, and in market places. The world is a better place with out him. A couple of side notes on this successful military operation.Maj. Gen. William Caldwell, a spokesman for the U.S. military in Baghdad, said U.S. forces arrived about 28 minutes after a fighter jet bombed al-Zarqawi's hideout outside Baqouba. Medics secured al-Zarqawi's airway but his breathing was shallow and labored, and he expelled blood from his mouth.
"It was very evident he had extremely massive internal injuries," Caldwell said.
Al-Zarqawi died 24 minutes after coalition forces arrived, he said.
Jones said the autopsy conducted Saturday showed that al-Zarqawi died from injuries to his lungs.
- Caldwell also said 140 military operations were carried out since al-Zarqawi's death and 32 insurgents were killed and 178 detained. He said 11 raids were directly connected to a ''treasure trove'' of intelligence gleaned from raids since al-Zarqawi's death.
- Al-Zarqawi's group, al-Qaeda in Iraq, announced in a Web statement Monday that a militant named Abu Hamza al-Muhajer was appointed its new leader
These 2 things mean only that we now have another person to hunt down, but also that the job is getting done, despite what the liberal press and democrats are saying.
Big Thumbs up for the military and Iraq's secruity forces.
