Apparently, Zarqawi wasn’t dead when the U.S. soldiers arrived.
According to the reports by the coalition forces that arrived on-site, he mumbled a little something, but it was indistinguishable and it was very short.
And perhaps he recognized the soldiers and tried to escape.
The first people on the scene were the Iraqi police. They had found him and put him into some kind of gurney/stretcher kind of thing, and then American coalition forces arrived immediately thereafter on-site. They immediately went to the person in the stretcher, were able to start identifying by some distinguishing marks on his body. They had some kind of visual facial recognition.
According to the person on the ground, 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.
So here’s the contest, which will not be a photo contest, nor a caption contest, since I don’t want photos of Zarqawi polluting my weblog:
Name Zarqawi’s last words. What do you think he said just before he died?
Already used: “The infidels will never find me he–”
“Shema, Yisrael Adonai Elo-anu Adonai Echad.”
“Hold on a minute, Christiane, the dog’s barking and I need to let him ou-“
Quoting my favorite Iraqi PR expert:
“Don’t worry, there are no Americans he…”
I like what a comedian said last night,
“Zarqawi’s last words were – Holy Shiite.”
“But there’s good news, I just saved 15% on my life insurance by switching to GEICO.”

I’m telling you, they have no idea where I am, none at all….
For the globalists to really get World War 3 off with a bang, they need to kill a famous Muslim like me. My brothers will make me a great Martyr.
