Say what?

From the WashPost: “The spokesman also disclosed that Zarqawi was still alive when U.S. troops arrived on the scene after Wednesday's airstrike by an F-16 fighter. The terrorist "mumbled a little something" and made an apparent effort to get away after being placed on a stretcher by Iraqi police, Caldwell said.”

Potential last words:

“Rosebud”
“I forgot to duck”
“Kaiser Soze”
“I’ve got a bad feeling about this.”
“What we have here is a failure to communicate.”
“Raisins. Stupid raisins.”
“I’m ready to negotiate.”

This may sound really vicious but I am glad to hear he had a moment or two to realize his life was ending. Hope all the horror he created flashed before his eyes.

T'would be lovely to think this story is what they say the story is.

But the anecdotal accuracy of these official wartime accounts has shown, how shall we say, a consistent history of embellishment.

At least Zarqawi's dead. Satisfying final "nyah-nyah" scene or not.

Nah, Keyser Soze has changed his identity. He's now known as Lex Luthor.

To hell with Zarqawi. I am thrilled to know that he suffered and that his last thoughts were the Americans got him. He deserved exactly what he got. And I don't feel bad for saying it. Not one bit. Zarqawi would have killed all of us if he could.
