Citizen Zarqawi
Bush's announcement of the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi included an unintentional rap lyric:
Now Zarqawi has met his end
And this violent man will never murder again
According to Patrick Cockburn:
Zarqawi himself was dragged dying from the ruins of his house by Iraqi police and strapped to a stretcher. "Zarqawi did in fact survive the air strike," said Maj Gen William Caldwell, the US military spokesmen. Covered in blood he survived a few minutes after the Americans arrived and muttered a few unintelligible words. "Zarqawi attempted to turn away off the stretcher,' said Gen Caldwell. "They--everybody--re-secured him back onto the stretcher, but he died almost immediately thereafter from the wounds he received from the airstrike."
We'll never know what Zarqawi's final utterance was, but you can bet it wasn't "Rosebud."
