#1 I don't think I would buy another "just missed him" with Zarqawi. That's just a tad too lucky.

#2 I am still not giving up hope he is dead. If he isn't his days are numbered the net is slowly closing around him. I just want it to be done quickly.

#3 We won't know if we got him for another 2-4 weeks.

Our forces are now sifting thru a treasure trove of intelligence.

I don't know if we did or not, but that's how it went with Saddam until we finally caught him in the rat hole.

#7 This is much too important to jump the gun. Best to be patient, wait, and make sure.
