America’s Role in Saddam Capture..
Last week our prez had this to say in a televised address to the American people announcing the capture of Saddam:
The operation was based on the superb work of intelligence analysts who found the dictator’s footprints in a vast country. The operation was carried out with skill and precision by a brave fighting force. - Dec 14th 2003
Well it turns out our intelligence had nothing to do with it, as virtually every newspaper outside America is now reporting:
Saddam Hussein was captured by US troops only after he had been taken prisoner by Kurdish forces, drugged and abandoned ready for American soldiers to recover him, a British tabloid newspaper has reported.
Saddam came into the hands of the Kurdish Patriotic Front after being betrayed to the group 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, which quoted an unnamed senior British military intelligence officer.
Nothing ground breaking here of course; another tall tale by the prez being ignored by the mainstream US press.
Meanwhile, be on the look out for anything suspicous because just in time for Christmas, Tom Ridge has a present for Americans: ELEVATED ALERT LEVEL ORANGUTAN ORANGE!! Have a Merry Vigilant Christmas!
