#1 "He mumbled something, but it was indistinguishable and it was very short,"

The Arabic equivalent of "I'm boned!", maybe?

Interesting about the intelligence haul. Should make Zarq's sucessor even more nervous.

#4 Words fail me, Dan, LOL. Have you met Our Leader, yet? You're supposed to say "Take me to your leader." you know. It's in the Galactic Handbook as distributed by the Vogons. :)

17 simultaneous A-Q Iraq raids on Zarq-Dead-Day Wednesday June 7th.

And 39+ additional raids by Friday June 9th, made possible because of fresh intel exploited from the first raids on Wendnesday.

One Shia Imman's response: "Despite the crimes of al-Zarqawi, the source of terrorism is the Baathists who had supplied him with secure dens and safe havens," Imam Sadr al-Din al-Qupanchi said at a Shiite mosque in Najaf.
[note: the Imam forgot to say anything 'bout Tater & Tots]

*********

Pentagon Channel: Multi-National Force-Iraq spokesman MG William Caldwell said three women and three men, including al-Zarqawi and spiritual adviser Sheik Abdul-Rahman were killed, but he cautioned that some facts were being sorted out. [note: watch "rapporteurs" accumulate more ass-shine]

Now that Zark is suxing raisins forever,
Abu Ayyub al-Masri originally from Egypt looks to be the possible replacement CEO heading up A-Q Iraq.

Abu Ayyub al-Masri first met Zarq in a Afghani A-Q training camp back in the 90s.

Supposedly Abu Ayyub al-Masri has been the main contact link between Zark and A-Q top management all along.

the chain looses the last link: Ayman al-Zawahri Pakistan ----> Abu Ayyub al-Masri ---> Abu Musab al-Zarqawi Iraq

Abu Abdul-Rahman al-Iraqi... status: Dead

#7 Nice ripple effect. Thats how the ACTION part of the intelligence game is played if you're doing it right.

17 of the top command nodes incuding the central command node itself (AMZ and his 7), and then 39 associated nodes, all in a 24 hour period. And probably a number of unpublicized tertiary raids coming off the second set (39). Add to that the financial data and bank accounts seized, and the forensic accounting that will "follow the money" and give us nice fat targets that have been bankrolling these assclowns.

Thats how you're supposed to be playing this game.

You boys in Langely watching this? The DoD is given out free lessons in how to roll up acommand structure. Back in the day, CIA used to know how to do stuff like this, and had the balls to do it, even in a place like waki-land.

#8 Spook, are you saying that King Rummy and his dominions are responsible for this action? Oh my...
