Right, the Kurds captured Saddam and left him alone, unharmed, with a pistol, two AK-47s, and $750K in American dollars. As if. Get real.
You're assuming that this capture business wasn't stage managed by the same people who brought you Jessica Lynch story, among many other sweet tales. The soldiers who found him didn't know that they were looking for HVT1? They, along with the money and guns, were/could easily have been props like so many other items, nor do we know how long the money or the guns were there. You think it is plausible that an undrugged Saddam with his wits about him would have come up saying what he did, acting like he did? We don't know how long he was down there, we've heard nothing about the two "guards" who were with him; they didn't fire a shot? Try to divert the soldiers somehow, or at least kill a few of them? Frankly, the whole story is fishy and bizarre to me. People who believe the Bush admin will believe the story, people who don't won't. An administration that starts a war in order to win an election will do pretty much anything, IMHO. |
