US knows Zarqawi whereabouts: top US general

[maddezmom]

WASHINGTON (AFP) - The US military is close to locating Al-Qaeda's frontman in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, General John Abizaid, the commander of US forces in the region, said.

"I think we have a good idea" of where to find him, Abizaid told CNN.

"We know what we're doing in our efforts how to get him," he said.

"But I want to also stress that it's not about one man. It's about his network. His network exists inside Iraq. It's connected to Al-Qaeda. It's got facilitation nodes in Syria," Abizaid told the US cable news channel.

"It brings foreign fighters in from Saudi Arabia and from North Africa. It is connected to what is happening in Afghanistan and what is happening in Pakistan. It is a global battle that we face," he said.

Then quit talking and go get him. :shrug:

[Vladimir]

1. I thought he was dead

and now he is alive.

And maybe tomorrow he will be captured.

Next week he will be plotting again.

That is one elusive motherfucker right there!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

9. How many lives does this guy have?

[Sanity Claws]

19. He must be part cat

The only possible explanation.

[central scrutinizer]

24. He must be part cat, part salamander

he has come back from the dead several times and apparently has also regrown limbs.

[chelsea0011]

2. And they know Osama's whereabouts also. I guess they can get

both at the same time.

[IndianaGreen]

5. and they also know where the Golden Fleece is located at

and where to find Pandora's Box.

But the one thing they cannot seem to find is those crowds of Iraqis singing and dancing in the streets.

[tanyev]

11. Bet they know where the Holy Grail is, too.

[EFerrari]

14. "Do you believe in UFOs,

astral projection, mental telepathy, ESP, clairvoyance, spirit photography, full-trance mediums, telekinetic movement, pyramidology, crop circles, the Loch Ness Monster, the theory of Atlantis, alternate universes, The Jersey Devil, and of course in general spooks, specters, wraiths, and ghosts?"

-- Ghostbusters

[HannibalBarca]

21. What about

Atlantis, do they know where that is?

[radfringe]

33. yeah but

do they know his street address?

[aeolian]

3. How many legs does he have now?

[EFerrari]

4. "We know where to send his check, replacement parts for

his prosthetics and flowers for his widows. Wtf more do you want." -- anonymous Pentagon source.

[More Than A Feeling]

6. But we can't get him, we have to respect Iraq's sovereignty...oh wait

:eyes:

[bahrbearian]

7. Is he somewhat North of Baghdad,maybe East, West, or possibly

South of Tikrit?

[Journeyman]

8. Quit talking, quit bullshitting, and just DO!. . .

Freakin' military moron. That's the difference between great generals and wannabe generals -- the wannabes jabber all the time about what they're gonna to do. The great ones leave it to others to talk about what happened.

But what the hell. . . all the good generals were purged in the 21st century's Tukhachevsky-inspired Pentagon purge. Had they not been forced out, we might not have forced ourselves into the disastrous situation we find ourselves in today.

Freakin' ShrubCo morons.

[shraby]

10. There's nothing like announcing to the world

that you know where your enemy is and that your going to get him. I'm sure the enemy will stay right there and wait for ya.

[Firenze777]

12. Does Zarqawi really exist?

Many have speculated that his existence is just a ruse....if they imply that we can eliminate the insurgency by capturing one (made up)man, maybe it won't occur to the masses that this problem is so vast and out of control that there is no way to fix it.

[Eugene]

13. Just like we have a "pretty good idea" where Bin Laden is.

:eyes:

[Deja Q]

17. Or Osama, for that matter? Osama, for all we know, could be

the best looking muppet ever created...

[weldon berger]

15. Hangin' with Jimmy Hoffa, Elvis and DB Cooper

no doubt. And they're all sitting on a huge stash of chemical and biological weapons.

One of the many things that really, seriously ticks me off about the institutional press is that they never seem to remember that Zarqawi's location was pinpointed before the war — Colin Powell even marked it on a map with a little X during his UN presentation — and we didn't take out his mountain hideaway until after the invasion began. Assuming Zarqawi actually exists and is alive, Rumsfeld et al are responsible for every single one of the deaths Zarqawi has caused during the past two years. Within the larger framework of their responsibility for all the deaths in this war, of course, but that incident particularly rankles me.

[abb9]

16. How about Zaqarwi's No:3 or No:2 Man?

They have been catching his No.2 and 3 guys forever,do they know exactly where they are too?
Seems to me they have been catching nothing but a lot of KEY no. 2 and no. 3 guys.

Hey,maybe they also know exactly where Saddams WMD are this time?

[0007]

18. Abizaid is doing well if he can find his dick!

He'll have plenty of time while waiting trial at the Hague for war crimes in Iraq.

[Roland99]

20. Wow, Abizaid was REALLY taken to the woodshed this weekend.

I bet his ass is sore as all get-out!

[BattyDem]

22. Hey General ... you don't know shit!

If you did and if you were serious about catching him, you would keep your mouth shut and simply go get him!

BushCo is ridiculous! They claim they can't reveal their plans for a withdrawl from Iraq because the insurgents would know when we were leaving and they'd plan to launch major attacks immediately after we left. But ... BushCo sees no problem with making a worldwide announcement saying that we know the whereabouts of Zarqawi (and Bin Laden). Apparently, the possibility of the either man moving to another location before we arrive is not something the administration has considered. :eyes:

[Javaman]

23. This general and goss should get together...

they could compare their bullshit notes

[pinniped]

25. Forget it. He will just dematerialize before their...

very eyes and then what? No al-Zarqawi. A trick he learned from Houdini.

At least they can keep the 25m USD that no one will ever get.

[geckosfeet]

26. Thats nice. Are they sending him care packages?

[NNN0LHI]

27. "The mission of US forces is to kill or capture Muqtada al-Sadr," said...

...Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez, the US commander in Iraq on 12 April 2004.

[leesa]

28. Oh right. They just keep dragging the same old carcases out. "We know

where he is but we aren't telling. Naanananana!"

I can't believe Republicans keep swallowing this shit...over and over and over again! Amazing!

[Porcupine]

29. Down on the Holodeck at the NSA of course.

Because he's a flippin construct!!! Sitting right there next to Mike Fink, Yeti and Bigfoot.

[drdtroit]

30. They keep forgetting to look in the

Lincoln Bedroom. That's where you'll find these guys!

[ninkasi]

31. Hey, everybody, relax!

They may, or may not know where to find Osama, or one of Zarqawi's many incarnations, but at least they know this, for sure...

"We know what we're doing in our efforts how to get him," he said.

Now, don't we all feel better? They at least know, or think they do, what THEY are doing. Oh...wait...now I'm really scared!

[ngGale]

32. al-Zarqawi - the "Bionic Man" strikes again...

he always has perfect timing. Wonder if he wears a Rolex, gift from our government. :sarcasm:
