Osama bin-laden for the poors.

Alahu Akbar (God is great)
It's all thanks to the wisdom and leadership of the briliant president Bush.

Nothing suceeds like success.  If true, this is the "October

If this is true, expect the CNN headline to be: "Zarqawi finally captured - top analysts blame Bush for delay"

CNN will then follow with a report saying that Amnesty International is investigating whether or not he was "roughed up" when arrested.

Yeah, LOL. Just having some fun here, but...

Possible CNN headline:

Amnesty international has concerns about Mr. Zarqawi's treatment while in custody and...

Kerry reaction:

This President has taken too long in bringing this man to justice! We need a President who can go in there and get these people within 48 hours.

Edwards reaction:

This isn't good enough. If you elect John Kerry, every terrorist alive in the world will be found by the next morning.

I would like to believe it, but I saw someone else on another site said that the U.S. military denied the story in a Rueters press release.  Sorry.

The US Military denies a lot of things until they're absolutely 100% confirmed.  That doesn't surprise me.

A LOT of reports like this turn out to be false.

But I think the Kuwaiti News Agency is better than some in the region. We shall see.

Not the first time he's been "captured" though:

16 October 2004

29 July 2004

June 28, 2004

But the US said it's a false report:
