I’m not vouching for his sources but if anyone in the ’sphere would have reliable inside info, it’s Rusty. He doesn’t answer Roggio’s question from a few weeks as to why AQ wouldn’t advertise this far and wide if it’s true, but the rumor has been circulating ever since the airstrike on al-Libi last month and he is claiming independent corroboration.
Not the way I would have wanted our degenerate friend to go, but “too many body parts” does have a, shall we say, ring to it. Here’s hoping.

Fingers crossed!
robblefarian on February 28, 2008 at 6:12 PM
God, I hope it was painful.
fleiter on February 28, 2008 at 6:13 PM
Score.
29Victor on February 28, 2008 at 6:13 PM
Oh, stop. You’re just trying to be nice. Or appear to be so.
Mazztek on February 28, 2008 at 6:14 PM
Maybe they could test the wild hog crap in the area of the strike for Gadahn’s DNA.
Tantor on February 28, 2008 at 6:14 PM
I hope, I pray, I showed some friends and we may dance the night away! But God can only answer now. Except maybe for the DNA sprayed all over and some hair from a hairbrush left here in the States!
Come on DNA!
upinak on February 28, 2008 at 6:15 PM
I thought the lack of confirmation from AQ suggested Fat Al-Bert had been captured and was being interrogated instead of killed.
see-dubya on February 28, 2008 at 6:17 PM
I hope his DNA is seared into the sands of the Middle East.
SouthernGent on February 28, 2008 at 6:17 PM
I am cheering out loud!! Is that wrong of me?
Agrippa2k on February 28, 2008 at 6:18 PM
And those weird fat kids in mall parking lots have lost their most famous alumnus.
Get your plastic top-hats and your poppers, because it’s Terror New Year!
emailnuevo on February 28, 2008 at 6:19 PM
Well, there is the “ripple in the force” type of event and then there is the fart in a football stadium kind of event. Although good news this is more of the latter IMHO.
bbz123 on February 28, 2008 at 6:21 PM
I suspect that “Not the way I would have wanted our degenerate friend to go” means that he would have preferred that he go standing in front of a US firing squad, after having been convicted of treason.
Bad Penny on February 28, 2008 at 6:22 PM
I’m glad he wasn’t captured and waterboarded. No point in carrying it to extremes. This is much better.
a capella on February 28, 2008 at 6:22 PM
Dante had a special circle of Hell for traitors, didn’t he?
Oh, and Tantor… I assume that hog crap all around the world has several traits in common with Gadahn (or is it the other way around?)
29Victor on February 28, 2008 at 6:22 PM
Waste of Tax Payers Dollars. I have no problem with the outcome of this.
upinak on February 28, 2008 at 6:23 PM
Re my 6:17PM: Not that I don’t believe Rusty’s source–that was just my interpretation of AQ’s silence. But it sounds like Gadahn’s probably a swiftly-melting traitor sorbet being lapped by the jackals of the desert.
see-dubya on February 28, 2008 at 6:23 PM
As a goof in a towel from the US he would have a limited propaganda value.
To fake his death and return him to the US as a hard to spot asset of death would be a higher value.
Hopefully his DNA shows up in the stew.
BL@KBIRD on February 28, 2008 at 6:23 PM
Wouldn’t you just love to be the guy/gal that pushed the button to make this happen?
Of course you couldn’t tell anyone about it now but you could have a little grin on your face every time someone mentioned it. :)
Nelsa on February 28, 2008 at 6:25 PM
“… but “too many body parts” does have a, shall we say, ring to it.”
Oh, I thought the article was gonna say they found a finger with Adam’s high school class ring on it or something like that. (sigh) That would’ve been nice.
Tony737 on February 28, 2008 at 6:26 PM
No, first interrogated,then the firey death.
Syd B. on February 28, 2008 at 6:26 PM
Dead is dead.
Bye.
labrat on February 28, 2008 at 6:26 PM
AQ doesn’t advertise it because, aside from a few looney lefties and his family, all other Americans would rejoyce.
Entelechy on February 28, 2008 at 6:28 PM
The great and merciful Allah willing…
Les in NC on February 28, 2008 at 6:30 PM
May his many body parts be buried under the set of The View, and may Joy Behar not be a big fan of wearing underwear.
Chuck Schick on February 28, 2008 at 6:30 PM
Doesn’t it only takes a swab to do a DNA test?
bnelson44 on February 28, 2008 at 6:31 PM
hey labrat, weren’t you expecting a baby any minute now? How’s it going?
Bad Penny on February 28, 2008 at 6:32 PM
Ding dong, the *itch is dead…
That’s what happens when you give up Heavy Metal for Wahabi, kids. Take note.
NTWR on February 28, 2008 at 6:32 PM
If true, it’s better this way. If the traitor was ever captured he would have the ACLU fighting for him in a US court of law for years. Money saved for the next bomb.
Les in NC on February 28, 2008 at 6:34 PM
SWEET!
Kini on February 28, 2008 at 6:38 PM
Allah Snack bar………….or at least he hopes so. Rest in Pieces
TroubledMonkey on February 28, 2008 at 6:39 PM
We put up with a lot of crap here in the U.S., but it really pisses us off when you tear up our passports.
TexasDan on February 28, 2008 at 6:42 PM
a capella: “I’m glad he wasn’t captured and waterboarded. No point in carrying it to extremes. This is much better.”
No sense ruining a perfectly good waterboard.
Tantor on February 28, 2008 at 6:44 PM
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.
Mormon Doc on February 28, 2008 at 6:47 PM
Yay, just saved us thousands of dollars in providing a legal defense team for this idiot.
Vigilante on February 28, 2008 at 6:48 PM
May your 72 virgins be strap-on dominatrixs
Kini on February 28, 2008 at 6:49 PM
I don’t believe it. I just don’t think Al Qaeda would let some American kid from Orange Country sit it on meetings with the #3 guy in the terror group.
SoulGlo on February 28, 2008 at 6:57 PM
One could only hope!
Les in NC on February 28, 2008 at 6:58 PM
Hope he’s safely back in Tel-Aviv or LA with his wife and children, and under the care of a good plastic surgeon.
JiangxiDad on February 28, 2008 at 7:01 PM
Yeah, but that’s the end of Robert Spencer doing any more Hot Air spoofs of the Fat Traitor. Hey, Spencer does a great Gadahn.
Meryl Yourish on February 28, 2008 at 7:04 PM
Here’s to hoping his 72 virgins all look like Helen Thomas.
Travis Bickle on February 28, 2008 at 7:04 PM
Perfection!
emailnuevo on February 28, 2008 at 7:05 PM
How many body parts per virgin?
peski on February 28, 2008 at 7:07 PM
He was to be the dance number.
TexasDan on February 28, 2008 at 7:10 PM
Shame we didn’t get to line his soft, fat jihadi butt up in front of a firing squad. But you take what you can get, right?
Jaibones on February 28, 2008 at 7:14 PM
Now this is some hope and change I can support.
Limerick on February 28, 2008 at 7:15 PM
Not the way I would have wanted our degenerate friend to go,
Better than be brought back to this country and tried, found innocent due to the emotional damage caused by the evil Bush/Cheney/Halliburton empire. Then hes the next lefty hero on the book tour circuit slamming the country on the View!
dmann on February 28, 2008 at 7:19 PM
would love to see footage of that precision strike!
Ka-Bar03 on February 28, 2008 at 7:19 PM

Ya wanna play ya gotta pay.Good riddance!
build the wall on February 28, 2008 at 7:26 PM
Mmmmmmmm … “too many body parts”
darwin on February 28, 2008 at 7:26 PM
Wonder when we’ll get confirmation on this…
ikez78 on February 28, 2008 at 7:27 PM
cue: Nelson Muntz
Don Carne on February 28, 2008 at 7:31 PM
Darn no more videos. Am going to miss him making and ass out himself.
tblot on February 28, 2008 at 7:35 PM
And to think he was planning to star in al jezzeras”a shill in the hill”…I guess we can rename it “A shrike in the night”
raceroh on February 28, 2008 at 7:37 PM
I love karma… greatest thing evah!
Note to Cindy Sheehan: the vest that your middle-eastern “hosts” gave you to wear on your visit… probably isn’t for your protection, if you know what I mean.
Gartrip on February 28, 2008 at 7:43 PM
The scum was an American, so I think he gets 72 VIRGINIANS!
Hope some of our gun-toting, no-nonsense founders get to set him straight in the afterlife.
landlines on February 28, 2008 at 7:54 PM
“Fat, dumb and stupid is no way to go through life, son!”
I will bet a video will resurface of Adam Gadahn with stills and a background audio track that’s clipped to hell.
Sergei on February 28, 2008 at 8:07 PM
That’s a horrible thing to do to those virgins.
2Tru2Tru on February 28, 2008 at 8:12 PM
Let us all join Marin county California in morning a lost son. Even though he didn’t live in Marin county, he was their spiritual son.
Pass the caviar please.
Montana on February 28, 2008 at 8:14 PM
Has McCain apologized for this yet?
Midas on February 28, 2008 at 8:15 PM
They were with Satan, in his mouth I believe.
Esthier on February 28, 2008 at 8:15 PM
So fat bastard, how’s that terrorist gig working out of you?
See ya, wouldn’t want to be ya.
Hog Wild on February 28, 2008 at 8:17 PM
Somewhere in America there’s an ACLU laywer crying in his latte because he will not be able to defend this fat S O B. Good bye to bad rubbish.
limowilliam on February 28, 2008 at 8:26 PM
Damn, and I never got around to learning how to say “fat traitor” in Arabic. Closest I came was “Azzam al Irhabi Badeen” (”Adam the fat terrorist”).
Jobius on February 28, 2008 at 8:34 PM
Rest In Pieces
ronsfi on February 28, 2008 at 8:34 PM
I really don’t care how he went carbon neutral….just that he did. Missile, bomb, tragic bathtub accident. Ok…we can scratch that last one. But if he’s dead, he’s saved us the trouble of long expensive trial, and years of free publicity for his cause.
DngrMse on February 28, 2008 at 8:42 PM
Zawhiri was pretty upset in his latest video — I have to believe it’s because there was more to this strike than they have led on.
Richard Romano on February 28, 2008 at 8:50 PM
So, the traitor is no more. I wonder if his charred remains were found regular or extra crispy?
Zorro on February 28, 2008 at 9:02 PM
Rumors and Pakistani press do not veracity make.
NNtrancer on February 28, 2008 at 9:10 PM
He’s not going to heaven though: pigs are unclean.
Tzetzes on February 28, 2008 at 9:12 PM
I bet it was ol’ bag-of-guts who killed them (indirectly). Probably thought he could use a cell phone and speak in English, not too many native English speakers in them thar hills. I’ll bet it was easy to filter him out, locate and send him some love from above.
Schweet.
Over30 on February 28, 2008 at 9:19 PM
This is the perfect time for an attack of Happy Feet!
May Adam Gadahn rest in pieces.
You know, it’s getting so it’s not safe for Al Qaeda to hold meetings outside of caves.
prairiemain on February 28, 2008 at 9:35 PM
For the first time in my adult life, I’m proud of my country.

Rusty’s trust in his source is over the top, so I’ll give it the SUWISHSHSHSH.
oakpack on February 28, 2008 at 9:51 PM
Chalk one up for the good guys! (And I used to think ‘drone’ was an insult!).
Regards…
Won Dampchin on February 28, 2008 at 9:58 PM
One less guy for Somali/Indonesian/Kenyan/Messiah Obama to talk to.
faraway on February 28, 2008 at 10:21 PM
Very well played, Lt, well, indeed!
Entelechy on February 28, 2008 at 10:54 PM
Good. Sell out the morons. Get what’s coming to ya.
*cheer*
WayWard Fundamentalist Christian on February 28, 2008 at 11:14 PM
Shame we couldn’t at least gather what body parts there were and bury them in the hollowed-out carcass of a pig.
Blacklake on February 28, 2008 at 11:31 PM
I’d rather preferred that he had been captured, but this is just as well.
And on the topic of 72 virgins… It’s never specified that the virgins are female, right?
DakRoland on February 28, 2008 at 11:47 PM
Without reading the post at the link…were they FAT body parts?
91Veteran on February 29, 2008 at 12:04 AM
That would force one to chew off a fat body part to escape.
91Veteran on February 29, 2008 at 12:22 AM
Unfortunately, that kind of strike tends to vaporize - but I certainly hope Ghadan was there!
Flag Gazer on February 29, 2008 at 12:56 AM
Good. Let us hope we can add more human garbage to the heap that these murderers and their ideas represent.
Adam PearlmanCross one off for the Gipper.
moxie_neanderthal on February 29, 2008 at 1:29 AM
Just a short while after he makes a big public show of destroying his passport?
Sorry - I don’t buy it.
Adam Gaddahn is back in America disguised as Jim Morrison.
uptight on February 29, 2008 at 3:05 AM
Hey! They didn’t tell me my 72 virgins would be all angry fat boys with bad skin exactly like myself! I DEMAND a do over!!!!!1111!!!!!1111.
bour3 on February 29, 2008 at 3:49 AM
Guess he didn’t need that American passport he ripped up on video after all, did he?
(Grin)
Shirotayama on February 29, 2008 at 5:41 AM
Interesting thing about it is, if we got Al-Libi, and if he was #3 guy, how close behind are we to getting Ayman the Carbuncle Head and UBL himself?
Shirotayama on February 29, 2008 at 5:43 AM
I think we ought to drop a jdam per square meter… just to make sure.
Or maybe a MOAB per sq KM….
darkpixel on February 29, 2008 at 7:37 AM
Yes, the doctor keeps pushing the date back for the c-section. The wife is, um, not happy.
labrat on February 29, 2008 at 8:31 AM
Too quick for this scum. I hope he lived. He needs the old West style Apache treatment or better yet 23 hours a day every day in solitary confinement for the rest of his friggin’ life. A quick death is too good for this punk.
Swinehound on February 29, 2008 at 8:32 AM
If true, I hope he got it over there.
If he was brought to the US to stand trial for treason, Hillary, the Attorney General in the B. Hussein Obama administration would set aside all charges against him and tell President Obama to put Gadahn in charge of the Department of Homeland Security.
mountainmanbob on February 29, 2008 at 8:44 AM
Here, now. He was traitorous scum, but you don’t have to get nasty about it. I wouldn’t even wish her on Teddy Kennedy. Unless he plans a night of heavy drinking followed by driving over bridges…
I R A Darth Aggie on February 29, 2008 at 9:15 AM
I can’t believe you people are all reveling in the death of another human being. You make me si….
Aw, crap, who am I kidding. Here’s hoping we never see his ugly mug again.
tbradshaw on February 29, 2008 at 9:26 AM
The rumors of his death have been circulating for a while now. Here’s hoping it’s true. I wonder if the got his 72-year-old virgin?
TooTall on February 29, 2008 at 10:46 AM
How long until his family files suit? Surely this can not go un-litigated. Besides, it’s Bush’s fault. Right?
coffee260 on February 29, 2008 at 10:56 AM
Perhaps the lack of confirmation from AQ is due to them perceiving him being a bit of a “catch” for them, being American and all and his siding with their evil, little cause.
Admitting his loss could be a bit of a blow to them, losing their glorious American supahstah!
Have fun in hell, f*cker.
MT
Mistahtibbs on February 29, 2008 at 11:17 AM
Couldn’t have happened to a bigger traitor.
Have fun in hell with Saddam and his sons.
Erockk on February 29, 2008 at 11:22 AM
As others have noted, his death was far too easy.
Words like “traitor” and “treason” get tossed around too easily these days.
But this guy was the textbook definition of both. He helped kill Americans.
His death was far, far too quick.
