Was Saddam capture another Jessica Lynch show?
Reports are coming out that the Kurds captured and drugged Saddam...and left him for the US troops. Seemed strange from the start that he was not surrounded by loyal bodyguards ready to kill (and die) for him. This egotistical dictator looked so damned unkempt....even for someone in hiding. Hair hadn't been cut for months....beard was scraggly, - and of course, he just happened to be carrying the names of party loyalists. C'mon.

Something is wrong. This is like the downing of the Saddam Statue...which was staged with Chalabi's thugs as the stars of the show. I don't trust anything coming out of the Pentagon. NOTHING!!!

Story is here:

1. OK...
I particularly liked the $750,000 Saddam had in his hidey-hole. He was going to spend it where?

3. I think so...
the whole thing was fishy from the start.
IMHO, he's been in custody for quite some time...and they were
waiting for the "right moment" to "capture" him...

6. One major problem with this theory
is the vast amount of cash on Saddam. I am pretty sure the Kurds would have made off with that.

7. Notice that Halliburton is no longer in the news?
Will they ever pay back the money they stole from us, or did we stop asking for it back? Oh, nevermind, Saddam has been captured!

13. how do we know the cash wasn't planted?
We're totally dependent on government sources for the circumstances surrounding the "capture."

Maybe there wasn't a gun. Maybe there wasn't money.

14. exactly
cnn and the cia hope that muricans accept at face value anything they say. when they're found out to be lying later, the cia blames bad intel and cnn blames bad sources. then the cycle continues.

how many times can you get away with being caught in a lie, over and over again.

sad state of affairs.
