I Remember
Zarqawi is DEAD!
The wicked man has been killed by a U.S. airstrike!
From the AP:
Stop the ACLU has great coverage and lots of links to other bloggers.
Michelle Malkin has a ton of information, plus video.
And, more from Hot Air here, here, and here (the video of the airstrike!).
NRO has a symposium with reactions to the news.
Hugh Hewitt has lots of coverage.
I'm sure this news is very upsetting to Libs all over the country. If they haven't already, they will soon be out denouncing the violence and accusing the President of celebrating the death. And why shouldn't we be excited and proud that we killed Zarqawi?
Of course, there is still much more work to do.

From the AP:
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, whose bloody campaign of beheadings and suicide bombings made him the most-wanted terrorist in Iraq, was killed when U.S. warplanes dropped 500-pound bombs on his isolated safe house, officials said Thursday. His death was a long-sought victory in the war in Iraq.Fox News has a ton of coverage (stories, photos, videos, etc.) here.
The targeted airstrike Wednesday evening was the culmination of a two-week-long hunt for al-Zarqawi, the leader of al-Qaida in Iraq. Tips from senior militants led U.S. forces to follow al-Zarqawi's spiritual adviser to the safe house, 30 miles outside Baghdad, for a meeting with the terror leader. The adviser, Sheik Abdul Rahman, was among seven aides also killed.
Fingerprints, tattoos and scars helped U.S. troops identify al-Zarqawi's body, White House spokesman Tony Snow said. The U.S. military released a picture of al-Zarqawi's face after the airstrike, with his eyes closed and spots of blood behind him, an image reminiscent of photos of Saddam Hussein's slain sons from the early days of the war.
"Al-Zarqawi was eliminated," Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said.
President Bush, who learned of the deadly airstrike Wednesday afternoon, hailed the killing as "a severe blow to al-Qaida and it is a significant victory in the war on terror."
