Zawahiri Not Among Dead, Pakistani Spook Says

Damnit, I wanted this one bad:

Ayman al-Zawahiri -- Osama bin Laden's right-hand man in the al Qaeda terrorist network -- was not killed in a CIA airstrike on a remote Pakistani village, according to a Pakistani intelligence official.

U.S. sources said al-Zawahiri was the target of Friday's strike and initially reported that he may have been among the 18 people killed.

The Pakistani intelligence official said it was not known whether al-Zawahiri was in the area.

Pakistan's Foreign Office said Saturday it had lodged a protest with the U.S. ambassador to Pakistan over the attack on the village of Damadola, near the Afghan border.

"Pakistan will also take up this matter in the next meeting of Tripartite Commission," a statement read. The group is made up of senior military and diplomatic representatives from coalition forces, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The Associated Press quoted a senior Pakistani intelligence official as saying "our investigations conclude that they (the CIA) acted on a false information."

Update: So we're dropping artillery rounds from airplanes now, huh?

Whoo-hoo! A terrorist escaped! I'm so jazzed!!

I really love how Zawahiri is playing Bush like a violin!

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

Someone should tell the CIA that the boss always shows up late.

Posted by: Michael on January 14, 2006 03:27 PM

Woohoo! We got Al Qaeda's #2 -- again! Time to fire off a blog post about how this is proof that Bush, having personally planned this operation, is the greatest President of all time, taking care to throw in something along the lines of "John Kerry, true to form, immediately pinned a purple heart on the terrorist's corpse, which was subsequently eaten by Michael Moore! (Get it? He's FAT!)" Hopefully my commenters will chime in with regrets that Al Franken, Ted and/or Anthony Kennedy, Hilary Clinton, and the Dixie Chicks weren't lying among the rubble. Ooh, sweet, a trackback from Misha noting that Dennis Kucinich wouldn't have supported this strike and therefore the city streets should be ripened with the gibbeted corpses of voting-age Democrats.

Oh, damn, turns out we didn't get him after all. I bet those liberals are gonna start gloating.

Yes Don't but those women and children they just murdered might have grown up to be tarists. It was a preemptive assassination.

"immediately pinned a purple heart on the terrorist's corpse, which was subsequently eaten by Michael Moore! (Get it? He's FAT!)"

LOL.

Damn, you should work that into a bit Ace.

The only good tarist is a dead tarist.

48 hour rule applies, even to this.

Remember when we did/didn't/did get Abu Zubaydah?

48 hour rule applies, even to this.

I thought it was the five second rule? You mean I have to wait 48 hours before i eat Zawahiris corpse?!

Nothing's over till we say it is!

Posted by: Bluto Blutarsky on January 14, 2006 04:24 PM

*phone rings*

al-Zawahiri: Hey bro, it's Ayman. I need a favor, Ahmed. I want to have a meeting of my top terrorist leaders at your house.

Ahmed: What's wrong with the place you were using ?

Ayman: It's, erm, being renovated by the owner. New carpets and shit. They, um, had a roof leak.

Ahmed: Yo Ayman, I'd like to help, really. I mean, you da man! But that is Parcheesi-and-pizza night at my house.

Ayman: Uh, Ahmed, I didn't say what night.

Ahmed: Dude, take at hint.

We do fire 105mm from C-130's, but that isn't a 105mm. Kind of like a small artillary piece that fires down on the target as the plane circles.

Posted by: digitalbrownshirt on January 14, 2006 05:37 PM

Nothing like having arty rounds handy for the propaganda photo op and nothing like our MSM publishing the photo without comment.

Posted by: BrewFan on January 14, 2006 06:48 PM

If you check the photo's properties it actually has the word "afghan" in it's title. Just an accident at the NYT I'm sure.

Posted by: digitalbrownshirt on January 14, 2006 06:59 PM

We fire 105s and (I think) 155s from c130s.

Posted by: DeeDaGo on January 14, 2006 09:57 PM

The only pictures I've seen of spectre in action have been the little 105's.

So we missed him - we still killed at least 18 of those muslims - only one billion left to go. I don't know why they grumble about this. They have lots of spare kids anyway. Soon they'll all be our friends when they understand we just want the best for them. We'll give them democracy and they'll give us oil - a great deal for all!

FYI, our host is exceedingly tolerant, but someone named Cedarford got banned for exactly those kinds of comments.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite
