Pardon my unrestrained callousness but the thought of Zarqawi suffering before he died gives me more than a little satisfaction.
WASHINGTON - A mortally wounded Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was still alive and mumbling on a gurney when Iraqi police arrived at the site bombed by U.S. forces there, a top American military spokesman said Friday.
Maj. Gen. Bill Caldwell, briefing military reporters at the Pentagon from his post in Baghdad, said he learned that al-Zarqawi was alive after getting briefings on the military operation that netted al-Zarqawi and several others.
"He mumbled something but it was indistinguishable and it was very short," Caldwell said.
Update: Thanks to reader Jack we have this:
Journalists accompanying the US military to the site in the village of Hibhib, near the town of Baquba, on Saturday reported seeing a woman’s leopard skin nightgown and other skimpy women’s clothes around the bombed house.
The original story assumed that the clothing was used buy some unamed women companion. Debby at Right Truth as well as myself are not so quick to make that assumption.
