#4 He had what is called septicemia...

If it's true, it looks like a lot of people's wishes came true.

#5 First Arafat gets some "blood infection", and now Zarky?
Haven't these idjits ever heard of antibiotics? Or is there some superstrain out there in the Middle East?

#7 Septicemia is not a nice way to die.

Now tell me there's no God, and no justice. I dares ya.

#8 actually I don't think this disease causes a lot of pain

I think the patient just gets weaker and weaker and eventually is too weak to breath.

#9 What does this Septicemia do to purty mouths?

#10 Haven't these idjits ever heard of antibiotics?

Blondie:

They probably think it's a western conspiracy, like the polio vaccine, which is really designed to make them impotent (oops! did I say that out loud!)

#11 24 hour rule. Ive read this blog in the past, and he seems to be a good guy, but im not sure what "news is verbal" means. A report on Iraqi radio, but nothing to link to? Or a rumour hes heard? Not ready to ululate yet.

#12 With the race to replace Iraqi al Qaeda leader Abu Musab Zarqawi growing close, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter has announced plans to oversee the election of the new leader. "Ah feel an obligation to ensure that the new leader of al Qaeda in Iraq is democratically elected." said Carter just before leaving for Fallujah by camel.

#13 mhw - nah, it's pretty damn bad. My grandfather died of it before antibiotics were around. He didn't die easy.

#14 I've seen a lot of criticism about the small round that the M-16 fires, but if this report is right (agreed on the 24-hour rule) then it seems like that small round penetrated our boy's chest cavity and bounced around for a while. While it would have been more aesthetically pleasing to read that he had been cut in half by a "Ma Deuce", this is a perfectly acceptable outcome.

#15 It's a shame his head is still attached to his body. He doesn't deserve to go into the ground in one piece. Hope some jackals dig up his grave.

#16 regarding Septicemia, I suppose it depends on what kind of blood poisening. My dad died of kidney failure which does lead to toxins in the blood and he did not seem to have much pain.

I searched a few more sites and abdominal pain is frequently found with blood poisening but not always.

#19 Death is too nice for a person of his likes. I wish for something that leaves him completely mentally and physically scarred as well as a quadruple amputee with the intellect and cognitive skills of a 1 year old. Inshallah!!!

#22 "intellect and cognitive skills of a 1 year old"

Tkat, no, thats wrong. Should that fate come to pass, you want his mind working properly (or as well as it usually does anyway) so that he can appreciate and savor his condition.

#23 Ah but we don't want him to have any capacity to communicate in any meaningful way.

#24 Vulture would be nice while we wait. Once the body achieves room temperature, hyenas may be more appropriate. May Zark roast in pieces.
