US Saddam Claims Being Challenged
by Paul McGeough

Claims that US troops captured Saddam Hussein have been challenged by reports that he was discovered only after Kurdish forces had taken him prisoner.

The deposed president was drugged and abandoned ready for the American soldiers to recover him, a British tabloid newspaper reported Sunday.

Saddam came into the hands of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) after being betrayed by a member of the al-Jabour tribe, whose daughter had been raped by Saddam's son Uday, leading to a blood feud, reported the Sunday Express, quoting an unnamed senior British military intelligence officer.

Washington's claims that brilliant US intelligence work led to the capture of Saddam are also being challenged by reports sourced in Iraq's Kurdish language media that say its militia set up the circumstances in which the US merely had to go to a farm identified by the Kurds to bag the fugitive former president.

American forces took Saddam into custody about 8:30pm local time on the Saturday, but sat on the dramatic news until 3pm the next day. But early on Sunday, a Kurdish language wire service reported explicitly: "Saddam Hussein was captured by the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan. A special intelligence unit led by Qusrat Rasul Ali, a high-ranking member of the PUK, found Saddam Hussein in the city of Tikrit, his birthplace. Qusrat's team was accompanied by a group of US soldiers. Details of the capture will emerge but the global Kurdish party is about to begin."

The Western media in Baghdad were electrified by the revelation, but as reports of the arrest built, they relied almost exclusively on accounts from within US military and intelligence organisations, starting with the words of the US-appointed administrator of Iraq, Paul Bremer: "Ladies and gentlemen, we got 'im."

A report from the PUK's northern stronghold, Suliymaniah, last week claimed a vital intelligence breakthrough after a telephone conversation between Qusrat Rasul Ali and Saddam's second wife, Samira, which had prompted the Kurds to move units of their Peshmerga fighters to where Saddam was hiding.

The report, from the MENA agency, as monitored by the BBC, said the Americans had insisted that it be an American arrest because they worried that such a coup for the Kurds might provoke an Arab-Kurd civil war.

4. The US Army is standing by it's story...

It would have to go deeper then the President, it looks like the army is standing by it's "no help from foriegn nationals story". Truthfully it's an entertaining side line but means little in the overall picture IMO. There were alot of people around Iraq I'm sure looking for sadam and you'll hear alot of people claiming to of helped I bet before it's over.

8. any documented claims?

...you'll hear alot of people claiming to of helped I bet before it's over.

Wonder if we'll have any others that have documented their capture on a news service many hours before the U.S. claim of a capture. What do you think about that?

5. Bush is an untreated alcoholic

Alcoholics lie. They even will hide a bottle somewhere while swearing they're not drinking. Everything else in their lives is lied about. Bush is an alcoholic that lies pathologically.

6. wondering if the White House script didn't want this scene to be played

... either at this time ... or ever (afterall, SH's ties to this WH are well-known) ...

can you imagine the strategy meetings this White House may have? how do they sit around and brainstorm the lies and spin? corporate 'execs' do it all the time ...

the corporate mindset around pseudo-leaders, especially after they rise to the level of incompetence, likely thinks that through PR media campaigns they can tell their story (lies) without reality contrasting against the plastic world of backdrops and such that they use as a stage ... they think they can go from "synergy" to "teamwork", acting as if that's progress, when we know nothing's changed but buzzwords, wall posters (the talk) ... the walk is the same ... too many of us are conditioned to know if something is "real".

it just seems that this build-up and contrast of lies vs. reality sooner or later will run out of options

there's a big system out there lying to us that needs to check-in for rehab ...

9. I've Often Thought ...

... of tallying up SmirkyBoy's lies, because it's so hard to keep track of them all.

But I don't need to do that anymore. David Corn has done it for me. I'm in the middle of reading his book "The Lies of George W. *".

It's a real eye-opener.
