Isn't this the fifth or sixth time he's been killed and confirmed now?

Keeping fingers-crossed and awaiting a forensic confirmation, but don't think that this will have a large effect on the situation in Iraq aside from the obvious PR benefits.
Thank God if he's dead, though. I hope it was slow.

It is being reported in all the major media outlets that it has been confirmed that it is him with finger prints, facial recognition and known scars. They got him!

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi dead
Love it! 
Seems that they have confirmed through finger prints, face and scars.

That's good news, however I have no doubt that the void will be filled.

You can run but you can not hide.
Enjoy the moment.

USG must be very careful with how they handle this success, IMO, because if they make too much of it in the broad GWOT or, worse, the war in Iraq, it will come as a huge shock to most people when the terrorist/insurgent attacks continue. It seems to me that this 'deck of card' or 'roster of rogues' approach to rolling up AQ and the Iraqi insurgency is about as bad for public support as the concentration on body count in Vietnam.
Opinions?
Thanks,
Solid

I'm not sure that's a good sign. 
If true it should have as much overall effect as the capture of Sadahm.
We talk of a GWOT and they talk of a Global Jihad that has gone on for centuries.

When are they going to learn to quit cleaning them up and making them look like Jesus asleep for these pics? His face is going to be on T-shirts all over the world by lunch.
They have to show them like they are when they die. Young people see how it really is, they won't be rushing to join. The pics I saw on FNC makes him look like a martyr.
Sir, I agree. The void will be filled, we can hope the next one is a dufus leg. Today I celebrate.
