CIA: Saddam Dead

The Drudge Report ^ | April 9, 2003 | Matt Drudge

[Dirk McQuickly]

The official described the CIA yesterday as being “in a state of euphoria, the WASHINGTON TIMES is planning to report on Wednesday.... “They say there is no doubt Saddam is dead,” said a U.S. military official on the condition of anonymity...

Was that you on Neal Boortz this a.m.? Someone called in to say one of SH's guards seen on walkabout was seen at bombing site crying.

"She's a lib, she would only read the DU"

You gotta break up with her REAL soon!

Ed

[TheBigB]

Oh, please..."Fletch." :)

[Sir_Ed]

"There will NEVER be anything remotely resembling a "corpse" that comes out of that hole."

They've already recovered bodies from there...why would Sodom's be vaporized and the bodies recovered thus far not be vaporized?

[whadizit]

"...I am tired of being jerked around... Produce his corpse or shut the hell up."

I could not agree more! It is getting embarrassing for the Pentagon to come out with all these "successes", i.e. wmd site found, well, maybe, and then having to retract. It makes us look desperate! Hey, Pentagon, just do your job and shut the hell up. When you KNOW you have something, then talk. I cannot stand Torie and friend's briefings. They are boring. And, Frank Thorpe, at Centcom actually looks robotic.

[Spirited]

"Don't hold your breath. His corpse can probably fit inside your back pocket."

LOL I devoutly hope so.

My favorite bumper sticker on this subject was:
The Washington Post/Moscow Gazette.

[Spirited]

Thanks for that confirmation. I had heard one brief squirt awhile back (but after the war start) that we had allowed his family safe passage out of the country.

As I understood the Brit story, it was sourced by "a (one) intelligence officer", and first reported in a Brit rag. This multiple CIA/ecstatic is a far more credible story than the Brit.

[AFPhys]

Those "pesticides" are causing a heck of a lot more damage to our soldier's skins than any pesticide I've ever heard of. Sorry - but nice try.

[Kadric]

How many doubles did this guy have. We may end up having to get every one of them.

[Aracelis]

Hmmm...with so many body-doubles, who the hell can tell for sure? Yes, we have his ex-mistress, but I doubt she can positively ID the hamburger he probably is IF he was in the building.

[EaglesUpForever]

Is there film of the actual soldiers? How well documented is that story?

[AFPhys]

You are ... ahhh... forget it...

[Bobby777]

hehe ... guess I made that one too easy ... LOL ... of course it wouldn't be fair to pick really obscure movies ... so let me look at the collection here ... hmmm ...

OK, let's see how you do on this 80's trifecta ... haha ... you can probably outdo me but just for fun ... these won't be too hard ...

1) "You really want to save those crazy Swedes, doc?"

2) "C'mon you guys, let's go, this man's got a plane to catch!" (for all the points name the a) movie b) actor and c) his most popular sitcom

3) "What is the condition of Sgt. Krueger? ... hmm, I see ... well, let me know if there's any change in his condition ... (turns) ... he's dead"

OK two more bonus ones ... hehe ... (I'm sure I couldn't keep up with ya ... LOL)

4) "Put you hand on the scanner General or I'll cut it off and put it on there for you" (total points a) who said it and b) the General appeared (as two different characters) in two episodes of what 1960's TV series?)

5) "You know, if this thing takes a bullet, we're not going to have the gas shortage!" (total points the guy who said this became a pitch-man for what car brand?)

(sorry, it's late and I've been perusing the collection ... LOL)

[Erasmus]

Let's just call Saddam Gerhard Schrödinger's Cat.

[bd476]

Now more importaintly...is Paul Dead?

He did cancel recent concerts because he "lost his voice."

The most important thing to remember: "Francisco Franco is still dead."

[RasterMaster]

If he isn't room temperature, I would fire the dolt giving the targets! I say he sleeps with Osama.....otherwise both would produce PROOF that they are alive. Gov't. keeps mystery alive to pursue ghosts in countries we know are next in line for a change of leadership.

[not-an-ostrich]

Unless the Brits are willing to tell why they think Saddam is alive it doesn't mean anything. Did someone use Saddam's Jaguar cell phone system after the strike? I'd prefer to trust on-the-ground intel.
