Tony Snow is holding a press briefing now. DVR Blogging:

10:24: Yesterday around 3:30 (ET) several Congressional delegations had a meeting with the President regarding recent trips to Iraq. Ray Lahood (R-IL) told the President what would really be good would be for someone to “Get Zarqawi”

10:25: Around 3:45 (ET)National Security Advisor Steve Hadley recieved a phone call from Iraq and was informed that they thought they had al-Zarqawi. At 4:20 (ET) he (Hadley) got another phone call (while the President was still in the meeting).

10:26: At 4:35 (ET) President Bush was in the Oval Office with Vice-President Cheney, Sec. Rice, Hadley,and Josh Bolton. Hadley informed the President of two things. 1)That Iraq and completed filling their Cabinet. 2) That the strike had taken place and that Zarqawi was possibly among the victims. The President’s response: “That would be a good thing.”

10:27: At 9:20 (ET) Hadley received a phone call from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was informed that forensic evidence (scars, tatoos, and fingerprints) confirmed that it was Zarqawi. Following the call, Hadley informed the President.

at 6:45 (ET) this morning President Bush at a brief conversation with Tony Blair. He then spoke with the Iraqi PM until shortly before his appearance at 7:30 this morning.

That concluded the time-line update. I’m not going to relate all of the Q&A.
