Just WHO Gets The $25 Million Dollar "Zarqawi Reward"?

UPDATE: It looks like the Twits might not get that reward money after all. Prime Minister Maliki said that those who helped locate Zarqawi, or someone just like him, in Hibhib, would get their reward later: "We believe in honoring our commitments." However, the (London) Times' man in Iraq, Ned Parker, tells us that Zazqawi might have been shopped to the Americans by Iraqi insurgents:

"One of the most interesting things about the news of his death is the timing. There have been talks going on since the election last December by US and Iraqi officials to try to bring the homegrown insurgency back into the political process. Certainly there was tension between the homegrown Iraqi insurgency and Zarqawi's foreign fighters. So it's possible a deal was finally cut by some branch of the Iraqi insurgency to eliminate al-Zarqawi and rid themselves of his heavy-handed influence."

So if Bush does decide to pay off the informants -- and it's his money, after all, not Maliki's; in fact, in today's Iraq, any money that Maliki's government might still have left after three years of occupation rapine is Bush's money too -- but if Zarqawi's rumblers are paid off, then it's likely that Bush will be forking over $25 million to Iraq's Sunni insurgents. That will certainly keep them flush with IEDs for a long time to come. It's FUBAR every which way you turn in Bush's Babylon.

...oh well Warren Jeffs is still out there *grins*

Quick! Throw money at it!

Oh, wait...

And the US may oh... let's say... strongly encourage him to take the money and leave now, or there will be trouble.

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

someone just turned him in for the moolah....moolah which will probably be used against the "coalition" again, once distributed.

How, where and when did we get al-Zarqawi's fingerprints and why didn't we capture or kill him then and there?

Given the steady stream of lies from the White House for the last 5 years, do we even know for sure it is Zarqawi? Even now? Really and for sure?

Did the informant survive to collect his reward?

How many innocent civilians did we manage to kill and along with al-Zarqawi?

And last but not least, how many new future terrorists did we create last night?
