Anything is possible. But not everything is likely or plausible. For the sake of believing that "Bush lied" and that our troops weren't really responsible for Saddam's capture, I have to believe that a) Uday raped a girl from some tribe before the war; b) this was a tribe in the Tikrit area; c) this tribe captured Saddam while he was on the run in order to satisfy a blood feud over the rape, yet d) kept him alive--in fact pretty healthy and well-fed---in order to e) turn him over to the Kurds, who f) decided to leave him in a spider hole near a farm house near Tikrit in the Sunni triangle with loaded weapons at his disposal, just so the Americans could claim to have captured him on their own, g) in return for the American's promise to give the Kurds influence over a national government h) the Kurds don't really care that much about because i) they effectively have control over their northern part of the country, and are more concerned about what happens in Ankara than what happens in Baghdad, let alone Tikrit.

Now maybe all those things happened. But maybe the CIA drugged Mohammed Atta and the 18 others and exercise mind control over them to have them fly all those planes and crash 'em. I don't believe that either.

Like I said, sounds like something made up to vindicate Arab "honor." And to try to denigrate ours.
