Agence France-Presse, we got him only after Kurdish intel found him and Kurdish military captured him, after which he was drugged and left for the tv show to start.

Very, VERY interesting, even though it relies on a bunch of unnamed sources.

Somehow I would have thought the Kurds wouldn't have bothered much with formalities if he fell into their hands.

I guess they figured it would be funnier if they got him really high first.

Maybe the White House spin doctors will find their way out of this one by claiming PFC Jessica Lynch was leading those Kurdish forces so it's ok to increase the pride.

Guess who's taxes pay for "Kurdish intelligence"
I honestly no longer have the time for this shit
I mean to be frank EVERY big breakthru of this sort occurs because of one native or another, the russians never got to hitler's bunker, it was GERMANS, right
anyway I suspect those who are inclined will get the idea behind this post. You could manufacture this story as easily as you could manufacture anything about the heroic actions of the platoon of Army Rangers that died fighting Saddam's red-turbaned Communist Shock Guard. Think about what matters.
What matters is my boys are still getting blown up about 2.5 a day and it's a load of shit and I'm ashamed I ever showed any support for any aspect of this reconstruction plan. Please get this dickhead out of office, but whatever you do, don't bypass principle in favor of insulting my colleagues, they don't get paid nearly as much as you think.
I'm going into my FUCK POLITIX phase again, I think.

It was definably Russians who got to Hitler's Bunker. The Italians on the other hand strung up Mussolini.

As for the story, its fairly ridiculous speculation, next.

I knew it, I just knew something like this was going to come out. Makes me sick. And now Saddam is saying as well that he never wanted to negotiate, that he never surrendered. Many people are concerned with the US using tactics of the big lie, misrepresentation and misinformation; in my opinion, it is those who oppose the US that use these techniques the most skillfully.
