Ex-Marine Says Public Version of Saddam Capture Fiction

UPI ^ | March 9, 2005

[BipolarBob]

BagdadBob? Nah, this guy is WAY more full of BS than BagdadBob. This guy ain't even a Bob. I don't trust him.

[csvset]

There is no point in resisting

Resistance is futile.. /Borg Speak

You have no chance to survive ..make your time /Cat Speak..

[noexcuses]

Details that Saddam himself might have mentioned when he was on TV that day....or to one of his lawyers.

[Finger Monkey]

So a large portion of this Marine unit was made up of people of specific "descents"? Were there any individuals in this group of Marines of German descent? Scottish descent? Russian descent? Just so damned mutted up we have to call him of American descent? Why is the descent of the remaining Marines not described. It's descrimination, me thinks . . . ooo, muttular descrimination. I feel so small

What is the point?

[VRWCisme]

Even if the Marine does exist and did say what he is reported to have said, would I trust an Iraqi over him? An Iraqi who lives in the US and worked with the US to capture Saddam over a suspiciously-close-to-typical-Arab-propaganda Marine with obviously close ties to the Arab world and apparently not so much loyalty to the US? Sure.

And even if Saddam was actually captured a full week before in a luxury suite at the Ritz, who cares? He was captured.

[ctdonath2]

Nonsense. If Americans had fabricated the incident, our overactive imaginations would have produced something far more detailed and elaborate than one lousy photo of him being pulled out of a dirty hole.

A real fabrication would involve something like finding him actively fighting back from a second-story window, only to give up after being reasoned with ... wait a minute, didn't I hear that version somewhere recently ...

[Billthedrill]

Well this settles it. Let's give up.

Yeah, that pretty much does it for me. Start packing the troopships. I don't see how we can go on from here.

[stuartcr]

We'll just have to wait and see..

[ladtx]

[Bigturbowski]

There is no such thing as an "ex-Marine" unless he was dishonorably discharged.

BINGO

[kellynla]

bottom line:
Saddam was captured.
And Iraq has been liberated and Iraqis had a free election in January.

The MSM and the Left have been WRONG, WRONG, WRONG from the beginning of the war in Afghanistan to the elections in Iraq in January!

Freedom is spreading like wildfire throughout the Middleast!
And the MSM and the Left haven't got the class to admit they were WRONG!

Semper Fi,

"We captured him after fierce resistance during which a Marine of Sudanese origin was killed," he said.

Any of these names look Sudanese?

And jubilant Iraqis pulled down the saddam statue too...

[DCMB]

Okaay. So Saddam fully cooperated with the video crew? Yup. Sounds perfectly logical, ex-Marine. Is this from The Onion?

[montomike]

I heard that all the soldiers who participated in the fabricated video have been abducted by the race from beyond the stars which has been manipulating the earth since the early Egyption days. Please see the documentary, "The Fifth Element" for more information. Another source of information is the documentary "Alien vs. Predator."

All the soldiers are enjoying 72 virgins!

[wmileo]

Are you sure we are dealing with a US Marine?

[WestTexasWend]

Maybe Dan Rather will make this his lead story tonight!
Might as well go out shooting himself in the other foot...

[bmwcyle]

Is this 15 minutes of fame or just a cowboy shoot out story?

[brazzaville]

Good morning.

Where does the MSM find these lying piles of excrement?

Can there really be that many traitorous Muslims in the Marine Corps?

So many questions.
