The Truth About Saddam Hussein

[Robot Chicken]

You know the official American story is that they found Saddam down a hole...

BAGHDAD, Iraq, Dec. 14, 2003- A force of 600 American soldiers captured Saddam Hussein in a raid on Saturday night on an isolated farm near Tikrit, American military officials said today. The former Iraqi president was found, haggard and disoriented but alive, hiding at the bottom of an 8-foot-deep hole.

Mr. Hussein was armed with a pistol at the time of his capture, but he offered no resistance and not one shot was fired in the operation, military officials said.

I've heard from a good source that this story is, in fact, inaccurate. I've heard that the Kurds had already captured Saddam and had been holding him for a while with the aim of making a deal with the Americans over aid etc.

He was drugged up to his eyeballs when he was "found" by the Americans but he was put into that hole by the Kurds and the Yanks were tipped off. I wonder why the Americans persist with the story that they found him all by themselves...

I cannot divulge my source but he was in Baghdad at the time when Saddam was caught.

He's an operative that has worked in all the troublespots like Kosovo, Bosnia and Iraq. I obviously can't reveal his name.

It does sound possible but I guess we will NEVER know the truth. Just like we will never know the whole truth behind 9/11 etc.

Anyway, who cares about Saddam now anyway? he is dead, who cares how he was caught.

A woman from Brighton (an Albion fan no less) who was in Iraq when Saddam was arrested wrote on her blog that when news spead of his arrest everyone went to cafes, anywhere with a Tv and there was general rejoicing... until people began to spot that there were dates on the trees around Saddam as he was pulled out of his hole, which placed the 'capture' in the late summer. His 'arrest' was announced on December 14th (at a time co-inciding with prime time US TV news). The US obviously had military reasons for delaying the announcement and thought they could lie about when it happened and assume Iragi people wouldn't notice.

It will always remain 'funny' that he was a US ally while gassing the Kurds, but when he objected to being used to cowe the Kuwaiti Amir, he became an enemy.

First heard this story about 1 month after he was 'pulled from his hole'. Personally not sure, I suspect that if the Kurds had caught him they would have slaughtered him immediately. In two minds on the truth of it.

Not if they could trade him to the Americans for something worth more than just vengeance...like money or aid?

He was never gonna be a top quality centre half anyway.

That was the story I heard, they were holding out for autonomy for Kurdistan. If they were looks like they got a bit shagged over by Bush as well doesn't it?
