Defense Officials Identify Casualties (061106 U.S. Department of defence Press Release)

I just have been Thanking the good Lord God that they killed the Ring leader Zarqawi! He was such a menace. The trouble with him was that he roamed around the streets normal as can be and didn't even take heed or any worries about our soldiers that were on patrol at all. That is the hard fact of it. Now you think that it is hard to believe, because they had his picture in their hummer's, Well when he went out onto the streets, he wore a bright colored head dress, and kept his hair covered. Also the head dressing went around his face and chin covering his facial hair and markings.

Their religious clothing, really covers up their Identity a great deal if you ask me. We are not use to the Eastern Culture just yet, but we are learning as we are taking them out one card at a time. We still have a great deal to learn from their culture and clothing that they wear.

The sad truth is Zarqawi walked among us, our soldiers for months. He planned many bombings and later sent the bombers in. Sad but true these are ruthless killers with no heart. They Kill Children, Woman, Men, boys, girls, it doesn't matter old young!! Sometimes I think they like the killing of younger children the best as long as they are western children!! That Just Sucks BIG TIME!!! However that may be!! We got the last laugh!! Because the #2 man for Bin Ladin is now Dead!!!
