CNN's interview with U.S. Army Maj. Gen. William Caldwell:
QUESTION: To clarify then, you can confirm that U.S. troops themselves saw and can confirm to you that Zarqawi was alive; that is confirmed by U.S. troops on the ground.
And his attempt to turn away, would you describe that as an attempt, even in the state he was in, to escape at that point? Why did you -- was he strong enough for anyone to have to resecure him?
CALDWELL: Again, I'm reading the report; I did not talk specifically to any uniformed person.
But according to the report, we did, in fact, see him alive. There was some kind of movement he had on the stretcher. And he died shortly thereafter.
But, yes, it was confirmed by other than the Iraqi police that he was alive initially.
QUESTION: Did anyone render medical assistance to him? Did U.S. troops try to render medical assistance?
CALDWELL: Again, as I was reading the report, they went into the process to provide medical care to him.
http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/06/09/caldwell.transcript/So we're supposed to believe that we sought him out and dropped 2 500 ton bombs and then "went into the process to provide medical care to him." ??
