An Oklahoma soldier stationed in Iraq hot-wired Odai Hussein's Lamborghini sport utility vehicle, military records say, and the soldier goes on to claim his action lured the son of the former Iraqi dictator into a U.S. trap.

But the account from Spc. Jeremy Huhman of Enid, Okla., as passed along by his mother and Oklahoma U.S. Senate candidate Kirk Humphreys, differs on key points from the official version of the raid last July that killed Odai, 39, and brother Qusai, 37.

Good post Willie.

Here is a picture of a Lamborghini SUV (the LMA 002). It has a V-12, and is perfect for Sand-dune hopping.

This was pretty interesting because before checking up on any SUVs amde by Lamborghini I never knew the company made any off-roaders. The only cars I knew they delved into were exotics like the Diablo, Murcielago and Gallardo. (although I guess a V-12 SUV is an exotic in itself).

Here are the more familiar Lamborghini exotics.

Murcielago:

Thanks. I'd stick with the Murcielago. But that's just me...

the Kuwaitis once ordered 130 of them but changed their mind. They were known as "The Rambo Lambo".
