WTF Is It Now?!?

Gee. More WH lies.
Saddam Hussein was taken by US troops only after he had been captured by Kurdish forces and drugged, a senior British military intelligence officer reported. Saddam was betrayed to the Kurdish Patriotic Front by a tribe member whose daughter had been raped by Saddam's son Uday, leading to a blood feud. The Sunday Express (express.co.uk) said the full story of events leading up to the Saddam's capture 'exposes the version peddled by American spin doctors as incomplete' while an intelligence source in the Middle East said 'Saddam was not captured as a result of any American or British intelligence. We knew that someone would eventually take their revenge, it was just a matter of time.'

And then there's this:

Time magazine, citing officials familiar with confidential accounts of Saddam's capture, cast doubt yesterday on the Pentagon version, that a defiant Saddam offered to negotiate, only to be told by one GI: "Regards from President Bush."

The 'true' version involved Saddam spitting on the soldiers as they dragged him from his hidey-hole, whereby one promptly slugged him. At least that's today's story, since military spokesmen in Baghdad are 'claiming no knowledge' of it.

And speaking of having no knowledge of...

While the "we got him!" orgasmatron was exploding all over the news, unelected fascist Snippy the Chimp took the opportunity to continue to piss all over our rights by stealthily signing the Patriot II Act.


Think that made you any safer?
Threat indicators are "perhaps greater now than at any point'' since Sept. 11.

The U.S. government raised its terror alert to the second highest level on Sunday and warned Americans there was a high risk militants might launch attacks around the holidays in the United States that could be bigger than those of Sept. 11, 2001.

Ha! But if those haters of freedom decide to visit a casino, we got 'em! Of course, by the time the WH figures it out the suspects'll probably be dead in a suicide airliner bombing.

The warning came right after Saddam's 'capture' had been exposed as a photo-op despite White House bullshitting assurances that many of al Qaeda's operations had been disrupted and that the occupation of Iraq was making the world safer. Despite the fact that the Taliban and Osama's forces have pretty much regrouped and that Saddam had nothing to do with the September 11th attacks.
