U.S. probing if Zarqawi among Iraq dead

(snip)
If Zarqawi were found to be among the dead, the United States would view it as a major advance in its efforts to quell a bloody insurgency in Iraq, at a time of acrimonious debate over both the origins and progress of the war.

Could this be DUH-bya's out? He could bring the troops home and act like Pee Wee Herman when he crashed his bike and said, "I meant to do that."

It might be the only way to save the GOP at this point.

1. Osma could should up too?

and where is that guy anyway?? how could it be he's not caught...perhaps cause they don't need to "present" him yet...I never used to be this cynical..I hate thinking this way

5. He'll be the new Jimmy Hoffa.

Never heard from again, but always speculated about.

Geez, if he had a trim, no one would recognize him, anyway. He could be living in Des Moines.

7. There's so much "truth abuse" with this administration

I don't know what to think..my mind is going in circles trying to find something to hold onto as "truth"

8. Coming up with a new name ; Zarqawi was a great diversion.

There had to be some Al Qaeda arm in Iraq to justify the slaughter that "incidentally" occurred while trying to roust him. We have to fight him there, etc. ad nauseaum.

And, you can't have your old business partner's son listed as America's Most Wanted without some economic backlash in that part of the world...

2. I thought we'd already killed Zarqawi at least twice.

Or was that the other #2 guy, the one who's missing one or two legs and who we killed a couple of times, too?

3. I thought it was Zarqawi's #2 guy about 10 times....

It's hard to keep up when everything's spinning so fast!

4. I think they are saying that to get people to feel they've done something

I don't think Al Zarqawi was there, and I don't think they thought he was there. This is like all those stories about how certain they were that they had killed Hussein in the first bomb attack of the war, or that they'd killed Bin Laden when they murdered that poor farmer and his two sons with their unmanned drone. They just want Americans to say "Wow, look, they have a reason for all this stuff" and go back to watching Family Guy before BushCo quietly says "Well, we missed him, but it was close."

6. "Well, we missed him, but it was close."

Right. How could we pull out now, when we're SO close? ;)
