ZARQAWI is DEAD! (Or, at least a DUMBASS!)

According to the news reports and the Blogosphere tonight, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi might have met his maker today. Too much to hope for, if you ask me, but a great opportunity to point out that he is exceptionally qualified for the position of DOTW!

As the self-appointed leader of "al-Qaeda In Iraq," this modern-day version of The Jackal is vying for dominance over Osama bin Laden and his henchman, Ayman Zawahiri in the al-Qaeda organization.

After a letter was intercepted from Zawahiri to Zarqawi back in July of this year, it is plain to see that there is a power struggel going on between these two dead-men-walking (I say that, because neither has a bright future). Zawahiri was not only asking for money, but was trying to gently subdue this Jordanian-born upstart whose love of slaughtering civilians has cause a very big PR problem - especially since the attacks in Jordan earlier this month.

These attacks, killing many members of a Jordanian wedding party, has gotten MILLIONS of Jordanians out into the streets against this heartless thug. In a letter of apology to Jordanians last week, he sstated "People of Islam in Jordan, we want to assure you that we are extremely careful over your lives … you are more beloved to us than ourselves." Of course, given the captured female would-be suicide bomber and her story of seeing all of the women and children of the wedding party, Jordanians are not buying it - and want some DUMBASS on a STICK!

Zarqawi also targeted the popular Jordanian King Abdullah Hussein, which also went over like a lead balloon.

How ironic that this head-chopping coward, with a cool 25 million clams on his head, might have been picked off yesterday in a gunfight with U.S. Forces in Mosul? How ironic, now that his own family has disowned him. If this DUMBASS actually DID get whacked, it would seem that there will be no one to attend his funeral - and I'm thinking that after all the fellow Muslims he has killed, the 72 virgins ain't happening either.
