Well, let me clear one thing up for you. It was said early on in this war that obfuscation will be used as a tool in this war. Historically, it has been used in every war to create false rumors and confuse the enemy. For instance, we recently hear of the capture of Saddam by US soldiers and now we hear the Kurds caught him first and handed him over to the US. Which is the truth? The idea is to keep the enemy guessing. To keep them from knowing all that we do know. To keep them guessing if we have spies in their ranks or not. Do you remember the "secret base in Shangri-La" referenced by Roosevelt after the bombing of Tokyo? It's the same thing just a different war.

Suma, Re: JEB's comment, ...now we hear the Kurds caught him first and handed him over to the US. You see, Suma, the Kurds brought down a locker full of one hun'rd dolla' bills jes' to add to the OBFUSCATION. They swimmin' in CASH up thea'...jes' swimmin'! Or, maybe, the US Army was carrying around the locker full of hun'erd dolla' bills just in case they found Saddam....See, more OBFUSCATION... No, I've got it! The whacko left conspiracy theory: We had Saddam AND a locker full of hun'erd dolla' bills in a Humvee traipsing around the Iraqi countryside until Bush needed a boost. THEN a coupla' hundred troops, ordinary citizens from Peoria and Bugscuffle making the princely sum of twenty grand per year, all cooperated in the conspiracy until the word came from DC to pop Saddam in the tunnel and then "find him"! See? More of ya' OBFUSCATION...plain as the nose on ya' face. On the other hand you probably believe this is TRUTH! And, don't forget the Albright enhancement to the whacko conspiracy: Bush has OBL in tow ready to pop him at the last minute to save the day. Is this truth or obfuscation, Suma? You want to know the TRUTH? I have a beautiful bridge for sale, only a million down...send it to me in a locker of hun'erd dolla' bills...now THAT's TRUTH! A smart person like you...who has correctly identified the smartest woman in the world will have no problem with that...No OBFUSCATION here! jj PS If Hillary is so smart. Why did she marry a prevaricatin' rounder like Bill? PPS Don't be bitter. You can know the TRUTH and the TRUTH shall set you free!
