Air strike didn't kill al-Zarqawi

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Posted June 9 2006, 11:44 AM EDT

WASHINGTON -- A mortally wounded Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, still alive after a U.S. airstrike on his hideout, mumbled briefly and attempted to "turn away off the stretcher" he had been placed on by Iraqi police, the U.S. military said Friday.

U.S. officials had said Thursday in announcing the attack that Zarqawi was dead when U.S. troops arrived on the scene.

Maj. Gen. Bill Caldwell, speaking to reporters at the Pentagon from his post in Baghdad, said he learned after getting briefings Friday that Zarqawi was alive when Iraqi police first arrived on the scene, but he died a short time later.

4. good question!!!!!!!!

Yes! We killed a prisoner of war. One more reason for others to hate us and one more powerful reason for bush and his consiglieris to go to LeHague and rot in prison thereafter.

5. That's not what the article says. Shitty headline.

"Zarqawi attempted to sort of turn away off the stretcher, everybody resecured him back onto the stretcher but he died almost immediately thereafter from the wounds he'd received from this airstrike," Caldwell said.

The headline should be "Air strike didn't kill al-Zarqawi instantly"

6. Duplicate - and search advise

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=102&topic_id=2329805&mesg_id=2329805

When searching use just one key word ( ex: Zarqawi )
also select " last 24 hours"
