Why do I have doubts?

I just received the following quote on a "breaking news" email alert:

"Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was alive when U.S. troops reached him after the U.S. bombing raid, but died 'almost immediately' after, Maj. Gen. William Caldwell said."

Why is it that I immediately have the thought that he may have died of a gunshot wound, not two 500 pound bombs! There is an easy answer: after all we have heard from this military and administration (usually many months after an incident), it is entirely appropriate to suspect the worst.

Also, five other persons were killed "by the bombs." Zarqawi had vast amounts of information that could be vital to fighting the "war on terrorism." But obviously there was no effort to go to the house and try to take him alive! Were we afraid of a great big army like the one we encountered when we invaded Iraq? Or maybe we were concerned the woman and child that were killed would cause us harm!

Bush congratulated U.S. troops for a "remarkable achievement." No, a remarkable achievement would have been to capture Zarqawi alive, with no death to innocent people, or destruction of homes and other property.

There are some things more important than being right!!!
