#1 Actions speak louder than words Hammond. Bluster doesn't mean shit, unless such comments will somehow bring the MF of of his rat hole.

#2 I agree Captain. I've been reading this since before the first averted attack on Fallujah. I think there info is wrong more than they think.

#3 They are bagging a lot of his close associates - the product of Zarqawi's increased operational tempo. The more the gopher pops his head up, the more chances our guys have to smack him on the head. Every close associate bagged is another one that won't be around make security arrangements for Zarqawi. Note that Zarqawi, unlike bin Laden, is actually masterminding these operations. If bin Laden was still actively involved like Zarqawi, he'd have been captured already. It's hard to catch someone who's just lying low like bin Laden - but Zarqawi isn't exactly lying low.

#5 Remember some other U.S. military officer and his captured-or-killed pronouncement wrt Sadr? Gen. Hammond should just let his forces do what needs to be done, and leave out the unnecessary speculation about Zarqawi's future.
