To say this event is dominating discussion in the MSM and blogosphere would be an understatement. So I’ll do my part to pass along some things worth reading:

• David Ignatius on the potential breathing room afforded by Zarqawi’s demise.

• Defense Tech on the weapons systems and techniques that took Zarqawi out and what it indicates about the mini-evolution of airpower.

• King Daddy in many ways echoes the senitments here at the Duck.

• Mohammad-Mahmoud Ould Mohamedou offers some brief perspective on who Zarqawi was and the nature of his relationship with al-Qaeda.
