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...

"As my girlfriend gets fatter, this girl gets hotter.... Life sucks....but it's good"

How's your waist-line? Growing any love handles lately?

[Howlin]

I know I haven't seen him since the "they're not here" incident.

[SouthernFreebird]

As my girlfriend gets fatter, this girl gets hotter.... Life sucks....but it's good..

First a talking horse, then a dog and a gecko....now a talking @ss whats next?

[Babu]

Maybe he turned on Saddam and gave us a tip???

Maybe he's angling for a job with the Charley News Network???

Maybe he's thinking he's real glad he went outside for a smoke instead of getting smoked???

Me, I'm thinking have Mossad pick him up and have a little talk with him.

I'm extremely underwhelmed by pretty much all of the Washington Times' Defense and Intelligence coverage.


What would you prefer, reading from the lying w Post? The Washington Times has the best reporters, they beat to shit the w post and ny times, those two are liers and klintoon suck-ups. I would never believe anything written by the W post, I used to have a bumber sticker that said the same.

[seamus]

Yeah, I saw that. Whichever Fox producer noticed the same guy in both shots deserves a raise. My wife and I noticed that bodyguard stand out as especially pushy and panicky-looking (If any one of these slobs touches the Great Saddam, I'm a dead man!!! GET BACK, GET BACK!!!)

I think it's definately the same guy, but his appearance doesn't really confirm anything, only add to the intrigue. Is he there to see if Saddam's body comes out? Is he on a reconnasance mission looking for people helping the allies so they and their family be killed later? If he is a Baath Party insider, and the boss is dead, it is really safe for him to be standing around what one would presume to be a crowd of revenge-minded former oppressed Iraqis?

[Grim]

I can now confidently tell you that Saddam Hussein is either dead or alive.

Whether you believe he's alive or whether I believe he's alive doesn't change the fact that he either is or isn't.

[Arkinsaw]

The London Times is saying that MI6 sources are the ones making the report. As I said, for the moment, I trust MI6 capabilities more than the CIA which is just now overcoming its earlier castration.

[al baby]

You mean working at the drive thur

[EaglesUpForever]

Don't know, I last saw him at his very brief press conference soon after the journalist was shot. Any more recent sitings?

I really hope they capture him alive, he's put all our news anchors to shame, he lies through his teeth with even more vim and vigor than Dan Rather. I still think he should manage Hitlery's campaign. When she loses to GW in all 50 states he can explain how "the states on that electoral map aren't really colored red, they're just a reddish shade of blue...".

[WRhine]

Haha... I am tired of being jerked around on the Saddam is dead/alive story. Produce his corpse or shut the hell up.

That would be nice but how does one reconstruct a vaporized body?

[bigjoesaddle]

If he is alive, he would want everyone to think he is dead. This meeting was to discuss how to excape Iraq. Much easier to excape if people think your dead.

[CheneyChick]

He's dead, Jim. I think....

[US_MilitaryRules]

I think he was killed on the first strike. Maybe they got one of his doubles. Or vice versa!

[fatima]

I just got an email from him,

[Xphantasos]

Saddam: Uh, I'm-- I'm not quite dead yet...

CIA: Well, you shall not have been mortally wounded in vain!

I must tell you that your tagline reminds me of the Civil War series. You know, the quote from the soldier is stated with the haunting music playing in the background.

And then the name of the soldier is given in a muted voice.

Just use your imagination.

LOL

[Porterville]

Firm as brick wall...yours... hell if it makes you happy I was just talking tongue and cheek, relax, let's say I have no girlfriend, just a trusty old tinfoil hat to keep the Venusians from sucking out my mind even in a harmless public forum where nobody knows who you are...

Bob hasn't been out yet. He usually shows up around 3AM ET.

Has anyone ever seen Bob and James Carville together at the same time? Bob could be a master of disguise and Carvilles' alter ego.

Q: What do Saddam Hussein, Phil Donahue, and Connie Chung all have in common?

A: All three of them have been canceled.
