#2 Unfortunately, I expect it's 15 minutes from now, but we've got him surrounded.

#3 Let's hope they take a gooood look at those 5 they caught. Seems, some months ago, they caught Zarqawi but didn't recognize him and let him go!

#5 I saw on another news site that it was an Iraqi unit known as the Wolf Brigade that caught him. Go Iraq! The building up of their forces really seems to be working.

From what I heard, they recognized him but he offered them a $6 million bribe and promesed to let their families live. The cops released him and then fled the country. It's called an offer they couldn't refuse.

#9 The Wolf Brigade is essentially the only native force of any effectiveness in Iraq. Any other Iraqi force would have been infiltrated and tipped off the suspect, or simply bungled the raid.

#11 As many aides as this guy has, the red tape you have to go through to get anything done has got to be terrible.

#12 Yes Mr Farouq...we have some questions to ask. Kindly remove your clothing before we proceed. The vise grips work better that way.

#13 I would get excited yet. Farouq may be a smaller fish than the ministry says. Or he may be a recently fired senior aid who little knowledge of current ops.

#14 What happened to the picture of the pliers and other good tools case ect.... it fits this picture 100%.

Even better the Iraqi Wolf Brigade made the capture gloves off for real. These are the same guys that have the show every night of the captures confessing every horrible sin possible from selling the sister to killing innocents to hell heresy ect...

The next couple weeks are going to be fun to watch the ripples from this hit here in the AQ rank in file.

Popcorn ready

#15 I won't use the word "torture" in this context, but Jack Bauer (aka Keifer Sutherland) was last seen hoping an aircraft to Jordan.
