Kurds found Saddam, not US

Yet another lie by the Bush administration and their public relations team, aka the media.
Story
Saddam was held by Kurdish forces, drugged and left for US troops Sat Dec 20,11:00 PM ET
LONDON, (AFP) - Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) 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 Sunday newspaper said
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.
The newspaper said the full story of events leading up to the ousted Iraqi president's capture on December 13 near his hometown of Tikrit in northern Iraq (news - web sites), "exposes the version peddled by American spin doctors as incomplete".
A former Iraqi intelligence officer, whom the Express did not name, told the paper that Saddam was held prisoner by a leader of the Kurdish Patriotic Front, which fought alongside US forces during the Iraq war, until he negotiated a deal.
The deal apparently involved the group gaining political advantage in the region.
An unnamed Western intelligence source in the Middle East told the Express: "Saddam was not captured as a result of any American or British intelligence. We knew that someone would eventually take their revenge, it was just a matter of time."

I have no way of knowing which version of the story is true.
Funny you'd just assume the story you posted is correct.
Can we say preconceived notion?
-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

It's certainly interesting. Apparently there's a conspiracy theory going around based on this picture at the moment.
There's an article saying that dates ripen (and turn yellow) in August, not December. They think that the pic showing Saddam's hole was taken months ago.
-------------------- The above is an extract from my fictional novel, "The random postings of Edame". In the beginning was the word. And man could not handle the word, and the hearing of the word, and he asked God to take away his ears so that he might live in peace without having to hear words which might upset his equinamity or corrupt the unblemished purity of his conscience. And God, hearing this desperate plea from His creation, wrinkled His mighty brow for a moment and then leaned down toward man, beckoning that he should come close so as to hear all that was about to be revealed to him. "Fuck you," He whispered, and frowned upon the pathetic supplicant before retreating to His heavens.

Hmmm. The Express? Isn't that one of those cheesy Brit tabloid scandal rags? Perhaps some of our frequent posters from the UK could give us an opinion of the quality of current affairs reporting normally found in The Express.
On the other hand, Scrappleface (motto: "News fairly unbalanced. We report. You decipher) has this to say --
Kurds Lead Way to Spider Hole, Bush Re-Election
(2003-12-21) -- Kurds lead the way to Saddam Hussein's 'spider hole' on December 13, as part of U.S. President George Bush's intricate plan to recapture the White House in 2004. The top-secret Bush plot was dubbed Operation Muffet.
The involvement of forces from the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) was revealed by Britain's Sunday Express this morning, but the underlying motives of the Bush administration emerged only from an off-the-record interview with a senior Democrat presidential campaign official.
"[Ambassador] Paul Bremer said 'We got him' but it was really the Kurds who got Saddam," said an unnamed senior aide to presidential hopeful Howard Dean. "It's all part of [White House political advisor] Karl Rove's ingenious plan to get Bush re-elected. Part of the strategy is to continually make false claims that can be easily refuted by eyewitnesses."
The source said it's unclear how the Rove plan could result in a second Bush term, but he added that "Karl is a monolithic mastermind."
"One theory that's out there," said the Dean aide, "Is that the PUK is really the vanguard of the Bush re-election campaign. They're channeling money from Kurdish villages to Bush 2004. They lead U.S. troops to the spider hole, and they're leading Bush to a second term. Of course, that can't be proved. But the theory is out there."

The official story was that some Iraqi led the US to the place where Saddam was hidden and said "keep looking", etc..
This story says that the Kurds actually drugged Saddam and left him for the US to find.

It sounds more like just a more detailed rendition of the same story. I can't really see how any actual lying, fabrication, or dishonesty is involved.

Is that what this thread is about now?
I don't know that Bush lied to get us into war. He may have. It would certainly appear that he very likely may have at least been wrong about some of the reasons he gave.

Those Kurds are some amazing dudes, man.
They capture the most wanted man in the world -- the same guy responsible for murdering a whole shitload of Kurds -- and they not only don't torture and kill his ass on the spot; they not only give up the $25 million reward; they dope him up, put him back in his hole with his pistol and his cash, calculate the dosage of the drug so it wears off in time for him to be conscious at the time of the raid but not conscious enough to bug out to some other place before the raid goes down, then trust the 600 troops to have their shit together enough to get there in time and actually find the hidey-hole.
Gee, maybe they are sly enough to get Bush re-elected after all.

yes, Some "lies" I'm OK with. I'm not OK with lies made with the sole intention to decieve Americans in order to sway them into agreeing to go along with something.
but If Iraqi's come out of this situation "so free that they can fly" then I'm personally gonna let it slide if he overstated his confidence in some evidence, or even just flat out lied.
Which, by the way, we don't know that he did.

its tough for me to believe anything that Bush says. He has the mind of a six year old child and is a very poor spoken person (he just sounds dis-honest, or fishing for sympathy)
as far as the kurds drugging him, he did look pretty fucked up in those photos taken after his capture.

no one has ever proved bush lied.
he may have been misleading, but i don't think he ever blatantly lied.
i guess you can argue that being misleading is lying, but calling it lying is using the word to make your cause more appealing. the left seems to love doing that.

You would like it if proof was required to convict you of something.... wouldn't you?
It's proof BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT.
By your standards of "proof" no-one could ever be convicted because Ted Bundy could just say "This guy appears from nowhere and I wake up and there's a dead body in front of me". No-one could "PROVE" the other guy didn't exist.
Clearly the evidence Bush lied over WMD is WAY beyond a reasonable doubt.

You would have to prove he knew. Many are trying, none have succeeded. Until such time as that happens he's innocent until proven guilty. Your Bundy example is as weak as the rest of the pap you push here. Or have you forgotten DNA, fingerprints, confessions and the like?

EXACTLY.
There is no proof that Bundy killed anyone. There is no proof that Nixon had men break into the Watergate hotel. There is no proof that John Wayne Gacy killed anyone.
Unless video tape evidence exists, everyone is innocent of everything.

So if the cops pick you up on the street, and with no proof of wrongdoing they toss you in jail, that's OK with you?
Doesn't work for me.

Yeah right, judging by this thread you use the evidence you like.
There are two stories of Saddams capture. You chose one that made the US look bad despite there being no co-oberation. Despite the obvious questions that pinky asked.
Sure sounds as if you used evidence.

I was thinking it was something like a shawl.
Maybe Afghani grannies kill the dogs and skin them and wear their hides around their shoulders.
Also they make doileys from jew skin.

Funny you'd just assume the story you posted is correct.
Can we say preconceived notion?
Two stories come out, one from every major news source in the world, and one from a "british newspaper". Since none of us know for sure, lets say that they are both equally incredible, why would these people automatically cling to the one that assaults bush? If they truely did think that news sources were bias, wouldn't they just offere it as anohter possibility?

Also, I think that if Kurds had captured SAddam, it would be like the world jewish congress capturing Hitler, and he just might have not been found alive.

I think the moderator's post makes it clear as a bell which one has more credibility.

True. My point was that if we were to believe one of the explanations it should be the one that is more credible.
In my opinion I think we found him. Others can believe as they choose.

My whole reason for my 2nd post was to poke fun at enimetpyrt's shitty use of the english language. He used the word "incredible" to describe something not credible. It got lost on most I think, can't blame anybody though. I'm pretty incredible.

They capture the most wanted man in the world -- the same guy responsible for murdering a whole shitload of Kurds -- and they not only don't torture and kill his ass on the spot; they not only give up the $25 million reward; they dope him up, put him back in his hole with his pistol and his cash, calculate the dosage of the drug so it wears off in time for him to be conscious at the time of the raid but not conscious enough to bug out to some other place before the raid goes down, then trust the 600 troops to have their shit together enough to get there in time and actually find the hidey-hole.
Gee, maybe they are sly enough to get Bush re-elected after all.

When you have a super intelligent race, such as the aliens, helping out with your conspiracies, it's so much easier. The alien horde captured Saddam, told bush where they would re-materialize him, and he led troops there. It's all quite obvious, and if you don't believe this entirely factless and evidence-bare story, it's obviously because you believe anything that your Nazi News Agency, Fox News, feeds to you! Brainwashed conservative!
