#1 the coward Zarqawi is unlikely to expose himself along with the "fighters" he sends out to die. He will be found, cowering under a child' s bed, someday, hoping to use the child as a shield. PUSSY is the best I can call this spitwad

#2 The story comes from CNN (Communist News Network) and can be discounted. My question is this: If it is so highly unlikely that we got Zarquawi, why bother to secure the boomers building and why perform DNA tests to determine if it was him?

#4 Maybe they know for a fact that Zarq is in Iran calling the shots?

#5 From the WP:

There is a "30 percent" chance that one of the bodies is Zarqawi's, he said. But he warned: "We've had dry holes before."

Sounds to me like he was the target.

#8 the White House is gonna play this VERY cagey! Don't want false hopes...and DO want Zark's buddies in the dark for a bit!

#9 Justrand hit upon it; casting doubt on it leaves less room for AQ popping up with a "hey, it's not true!" that would embarass the US government had it been more optimistic and announcing it as a possibility.

#10 White House: "Highly Unlikely" that Zarq was killed

All right. All right. I settle for just "maimed." Perferrably in a very painful and deeply personal way.

#11 Lol - "deeply personal" - I'll remember that one - and steal it, lol.

#12 Bush I am sure by now is pretty damm gun shy when it comes to the media. If he claimed it possible and it wasnt him they would have crusified him later with the lieing to get attention off his failed war blah blah blah..

This way he is covered either way. After how the media turned a war with multiple reasons for happening into just one WMD that was just one in many not the sole reason. I dont know about you but if I was Saddam and the media were screaming WMD inspectors looking everywere lookin the strongest nation in the world that already beat you down once talkin about a rematch to the death fist thing I would do would be take the WMD and all associated gather together take a crew of guys bury it in the deepest hole possible then when the guys show up to get paid bury them no witnesses have the sons do it to assure silence. Hell the only one who would know the location would be you and the guys in the hole. The egyptans Mummys did it and we still havent found all the treasure.
