Great news. I sure hope he's enjoying his 72 virgins, oh that's right, he's burning in hell right now. Good riddance. . .

how do you know that the F-16's weren't lasing for themselves? how do you even know if they were GBU-12's? they might have been GBU-38's ...JIMC5499 said:Actually I'd say the guys on the ground lasing the target got him. The Air Farce just delivered their message.
looked like a LANTRIN podA4sForever said:f "smart" ... can any of you boys tell from the targeting screen video what type of a/c it was ?? I know, the news says F-16, but the "news" says a lot of things...Was it a LANTRIN (sp?) pod vid? A LITENING (sp?) pod?? I think I'm getting these right ... ??? .... whatever they are --- wish we'd had a whole bunch.

Anybody got a link to the footage? I could tell you if it was Litening or not.
More information is becoming available ... supposedly, one of Zaq's home-boys, some kind of a "safe-house" procurer (a terrorist real estate agent??), dropped a dime on him and 19 -- repeat: 19 other "safe" house as well in exchange for $$$$$ ......
Elements of TF 145 were sitting across the street with a laser designator .... two F-16's airborne .... poof. Gotta love capitalism and the profit motive. The result:
They turned this ....
.....into this ....
.
.... A bad day for a bad man.

All I can tell you is it ain't ATFLIR...
And it doesn't necessarily have to be lased by anyone. Could have easily been a JDAM... GBU-38 is the 500' class, and F-16s and F/A-18s have made numerous drops of those in Iraq. The pod would have been up simply for BHA.

Correct. I believe only the Charlie Hornet's NiteHawk needs a separate pod....

question...
along with having pictures of his body... and a "wealth of intelligence" the news said was collected... is anyone surprised there was much left? I mean, from the footage they've shown, it just doesnt look like there would be anything useful or recognizable left. i mean that area just looked totally demolished... any comments?
but still, good news nonetheless
