Reply #9: One theory

[tkmorris]

I have a theory. I believe that the real Hussein was killed way back in the initial bombings but was never recovered. Perhaps there wasn't enough left to identify or his remains were simply buried en masse with all the others. Remember we targetted him many times and never did know if we got him while Baghdad was still in Iraqi hands.

However now that the occupation is lingering on and the opposition grows braver, the US top admin has decided it needs closure. It needs a political victory, plus it needs to dash the will of the resistance.

Security briefing, mid-November:

"Damnit if we could just PROVE Saddam was dead, those damned Iraqi nutballs would stop this crap. Do they really think they can beat us with RPG's and IED's?"

"Well, no, they don't. But they don't seem to care. They are fanatics."

"The worst part is if this shit keeps up they WILL beat us. Every time an American soldier dies over there the Dems grow bolder and the voters get more uneasy. We are gonna lose this thing if we don't make something happen, and RIGHT NOW".

"Say George, I think I have an idea that will accomplish both of those things. It's kinda risky but if we can pull it off we will seal the election and take the steam out of those ragheads as well. Remember those 'Saddam lookalikes' we put on ice for interrogation?"...........


Hey, it could have happened.
