Was Al-Zarqawi Beaten After Bombing?
CBS/AP ^ | June 10, 2006

Posted on 06/10/2006 10:32:23 AM PDT by Lacey

CBS/AP) An Iraqi man who was one of the first people on the scene of the U.S. airstrike targeting Abu Musab al-Zarqawi said he saw American troops beating a man who had a beard like the al Qaeda leader.

The witness, who lives near the house where al-Zarqawi spent his last days, said he saw the man lying on the ground near an irrigation canal. He was badly wounded but still alive, the man told Associated Press Television News.

U.S. troops arriving on the scene wrapped the man's head in an Arab robe and began beating him, said the local man, who refused to give his name or show his face to the camera. His account could not be independently verified.

I certainly hope he was beaten to try and extract any information they could get from him before he died. They could do like the Arabs do and finish him but cutting his willy and nut$ off and jamming it down his throat. Had that happen to one of our guys and heard of others who died that way in Arab countries. Women were treated the same.

Of course they beat on him. He was still smoking after his house was blasted. They were just trying to put him out.

Honestly, I like his story better than ours!

Since they are just making things up now, how about there were a few very sexy babes in the military crew who put on those leopard skin pattern slutty nifties and danced a victory job as Al Zucchini left this world... :-)

"Was Al-Zarqawi Beaten After Bombing?"

Well see one would have to care about that sort of thing to seek an answer. Its one of those things I will get around to caring about someday, like if Hitler suffered when he offed himself.

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was calmly playing Nintendo while little fluffy kittens pranced around him before being tortured by occupation forces, sources say.

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was drawing rainbows and unicorns, with crayons, when Amerikkan Stormtroopers murdered him, according to sources.

Oh sorry, I was trying to think up of other possible MSM headlines. ;-)

I suppose to a troglodyte jihadi, giving someone CPR could look like a beating.

But then again, this whole story is BS.

But CBS chooses to report it anyways.

Dear, dear CBS. Wasn't the flogging you got over the forged memos enough?
