![]() falls in line with those that also believe Neil Armstrong never walked on the moon and it is probably made of cheese. The nonsense below about conspiracy, staging, marines, etc. I dont know where that stuff about a rumor came from. Everyone who knew what had happened was ordered to keep it secret but becouse the soldiers knew that the only reason the we would be on alert for "Jackpot 1" was if they had Saddam cornered, and then the communications black out confirmed it. We were not allowed to use the phones or internet (if we could find one) until after the announcement. Also, the report about us keeping the news to our selves is true. In fact our company was on alert for 13 hours in case he wanted to fight like his sons. I have talked to the Captain that was in command of the operation and thats pretty much how it all went down. Wow, I cant believe no one that was actualy there has weighed in yet. Should it be specified, for clarity's sake, that it wasn't in the spider hole? Zake 23:24, (UTC) One more bit I was tempted to edit: the "orange-and-white taxi" which was apparently found with Saddam. I've added the bit about the doubt of Saddam's identity. Sam How's it working out, ChrisO? :) Dave420 13:56, 27 September 2006 (UTC) Reply I lol'd hard. It's probably mainly to with the growing lack of trust in the governments involved. True for that, one need only read the headlines from Iraq (as opposed to briefings from the Pentagon). Yup - the anti-war people don't want to believe it because it undermines their case that the occupation is failing. Any takes on why there is such confusion about this story and the others coming from Iraq? Every time a new story comes out, there is this question of conspiracy and confabulation. There is a confusion between reality and fantasy: the names of operations, the rumors, the purpose. I am intrigued by the surreal atmosphere about this entire war. And I needs to be rephrased either way as the removed portion is obviously biased. It is possible that since American morale has been dropping in recent months, and with over 200 American soldiers killed after the war in Iraq had ended, the Bush administration needed a morale booster! I think there should be some mention of the belief by some that Saddam has not been captured, but it may be more appropriate for the Saddam Hussein article itself, not this article. It is questionable whether it was actually Saddam Hussein that the American Forces captured, unrevealed sources say. ![]() Can we accept this? Seems very biased, and doesn't link to any sources. I just removed a rather strange part that was added.
