Tommorrow's news: Multiple suicide bombings. Over 200 dead.

They'll never focus on his capture even if it's true.

Iraqi official making the official announcement....

Observation: As he's giving the announcement there is a US flag right behind him. Probably a bad PR move. it seems to me that somebody should have caught that and inserted an Iraq flag before the statement.

Just an observation. It will come back to bite us.

I'm more interested in seeing who will do the bitching and moaning. I just hope it moves us one more step to getting out.

Where's Bin Laden???

Same place as Waldo?

That's the war I don't oppose. I sometimes wish these boogey men would start turning up dead instead of just lying in the shadows to be brought up when uncle bush needs a boost in the rating.

I caught the same thing. Seriously the hearts and minds battle is going worse than the actual battle.

It was supposed to be a press briefing with the U.S. commanders before they got word of his death.

No doubt. I look at my employees and often think that nobody is paying attention to what they are doing. I don't expect to think the same thing about a global news conference. Talk about a kindergarten level PR mistake.

It's dumb sh|t like this that is killing our soldiers.

Anybody with half a brain would have thought to switch the flags.

I'm sure the Iraqi people will get over it...if they're not blinded by the news

Good that he's dead, but a pathetic attempt at linking Al Qaida to Iraq and trying to raise the support level for Republicans for the midterm elections.

How will that even slow the insurgency? That's not going to stop the thousands of insurgents across Iraq from continuing to plant roadside bombs, killing American troops, and the ongoing civil war with tens of casualties per day.

"One official said the Pentagon is not sure of how the death was confirmed and that there might need to be "additional forensics" done before they can be fully confident the terrorist leader is dead."

i hope he's actually dead...

"hopefully", the ole "cut off the head and the body dies" theory applies here.

Would have been awsome if this happened two days ago!! 666!!! :evil:
